Electronic apparatus, control device, and recording medium

A control device included in an electronic apparatus to control operation of the electronic apparatus, the electronic apparatus including a hardware button and a fingerprint sensor configured to detect a fingerprint of a finger touching the hardware button, the control device comprising:

• a display;
• at least one processor configured to perform fingerprint authentication based on a fingerprint detection result obtained by the fingerprint sensor, wherein
• the at least one processor has an authentication performance state of performing the fingerprint authentication when the hardware button is touched with the finger, and
• the at least one processor does not perform the fingerprint authentication if the hardware button is being touched with the finger during a time when the at least one processor is changing from a non-authentication performance state to the authentication performance state, and performs fingerprint authentication only after changing to the authentication performance state is completed if the hardware button is once again touched with the finger, wherein in the non-authentication performance state no fingerprint authentication is performed, and a first screen is displayed on the display and in the authentication performance state an authentication screen is displayed on the display, the authentication screen being different from the first screen and instructing a user to touch the hardware button, and
• wherein when the at least one processor has changed to the authentication performance state, the at least one processor causes the display to display notification information indicating that, after the finger is released from the hardware button, the hardware button is required to be touched again with the finger to perform the fingerprint authentication.

A non-transitory computer readable recording medium that stores a control program for controlling an electronic apparatus including a hardware button and a fingerprint sensor configured to detect a fingerprint of a finger touching the hardware button, wherein

• the control program causes the electronic apparatus not to perform fingerprint authentication if the hardware button is being touched with the finger during a time when the at least one processor is changing from a non-authentication performance state to the authentication performance state, and performs fingerprint authentication only after changing to the authentication performance state is completed if the hardware button is once again touched with the finger, wherein in the non-authentication performance state no fingerprint authentication is performed and a first screen is displayed on the display, and in the authentication performance state an authentication screen is displayed on the display, the authentication screen being different from the first screen and instructing a user to touch the hardware button, and
• wherein when the at least one processor has changed to the authentication performance state, the at least one processor causes the display to display notification information indicating that, after the finger is released from the hardware button, the hardware button is required to be touched again with the finger to perform the fingerprint authentication.
