Abstract
A fingerprint recognition based authentication method and apparatus is disclosed. The authentication apparatus may obtain an input fingerprint from a touch input of a user, determine an input number corresponding to the input fingerprint using preregistered fingerprint-number mapping information, and authenticate the user based on whether an input number sequence corresponding to an input fingerprint sequence is identical to a reference number sequence.
Claims14
A fingerprint recognition based authentication method, comprising:
- outputting a screen displaying a plurality of symbols;
- obtaining, via a sequence of touch inputs to the screen,
- a sequence of input symbols selected by a user from among the plurality of symbols displayed on the screen, the sequence of input symbols being symbols from among the displayed plurality of symbols that are touched by the sequence of touch inputs, and
- a sequence of input fingerprints corresponding to the sequence of touch inputs;
- and
- performing user authentication based on,
- a comparison between the sequence of input symbols and a reference sequence of symbols, and
- a comparison between to the sequence of input fingerprints and a reference sequence of fingerprints.
A fingerprint recognition based authentication method, comprising:
- outputting a screen displaying a plurality of symbols;
- obtaining, via a touch input to the screen,
- an input symbol selected by a user from among the plurality of symbols displayed on the screen, the input symbol being a symbol from among the displayed plurality of symbols that is touched by the touch input, and
- an input fingerprint corresponding to the touch input;
- and
- performing user authentication based on,
- whether the input fingerprint matches a registered fingerprint of a user, and
- whether a mapped symbol matches the input symbol,
- the mapped symbol being a symbol that corresponds to the input fingerprint in accordance with preregistered fingerprint-symbol mapping information.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a computer program which, when executed, configures a processor to perform the following:
- outputting a screen displaying a plurality of symbols;
- obtaining, via a sequence of touch inputs to the screen,
- a sequence of input symbols selected by a user from among the plurality of symbols displayed on the screen, the sequence of input symbols being symbols from among the displayed plurality of symbols that are touched by the sequence of touch inputs, and
- a sequence of input fingerprints corresponding to the sequence of touch inputs;
- and
- perform user authentication based on,
- a comparison between the sequence of input symbols and a reference sequence of symbols, and
- a comparison between to the sequence of input fingerprints and a reference sequence of fingerprints.
A fingerprint recognition based authentication apparatus, comprising:
- memory storing computer-executable instructions;
- and
- a hardware processor configured to execute the computer-executable instructions such that the hardware processors is configured to,
- output a screen displaying a plurality of symbols,
- obtain, via a sequence of touch inputs to the screen,
- a sequence of input symbols selected by a user from among the plurality of symbols displayed on the screen, the sequence of Input symbols being symbols from among the displayed plurality of symbols that are touched by the sequence of touch inputs, and
- a sequence of input fingerprints corresponding to the sequence of touch inputs, and
- perform user authentication based on,
- a comparison between the sequence of input symbols and a reference sequence of symbols, and
- a comparison between to the sequence of input fingerprints and a reference sequence of fingerprints.
