Abstract
An electronic device and method are disclosed herein. The electronic device includes a display, a fingerprint recognition sensor configured to recognize a fingerprint received through the display, and a processor. The processor is configured to implement the method, which includes detecting a fingerprint using a fingerprint recognition sensor of the electronic device through a display of the electronic device; and controlling the display to display at least one object based on the fingerprint.
Claims20
An electronic device, comprising:
- a memory configured to store fingerprint data, and a security setting requiring authentication to access a function of an application associated with a first object:
- a display;
- a fingerprint sensor coupled with the display and configured to generate fingerprint data by detecting a touch input on a fingerprint region of the display and
- at least one processor configured to:
- control the display to display a user interface including the first object and a second object,
- in response to detecting a selection of the second object, control the display to display at least a first new object associated with the second object,
- in response to detecting a selection of the first object, control the display to display a fingerprint input image corresponding to the fingerprint region, the displayed fingerprint input image disposed at least partially overlapping the second object and providing visual guidance for receiving a touch input on the fingerprint region,
- detect the touch input to the fingerprint region as guided by the displayed fingerprint input image, and obtain, via the fingerprint sensor, fingerprint data based on the touch input, wherein the overlapped second object is nonresponsive with respect to the detected touch input, and
- compare the obtained fingerprint data with the stored fingerprint data to authenticate the obtained fingerprint data, and control the display to display at least a second new object by accessing the function of the application associated with the first object when the obtained fingerprint data is authenticated,

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing program operations, the program operations executable by at least one processor of an electronic device to perform operations comprising:
- storing, by a memory, fingerprint data, and a security setting requiring authentication to access a function of an application associated with a first object;
- controlling a display to display a user interface including the first object and a second object, wherein the display is coupled with a fingerprint sensor;
- in response to detecting a selection of the second object, controlling the display to display at least a first new object associated with the second object;
- in response to detecting selection of the first object, controlling the display to display a fingerprint input image corresponding to a fingerprint region of the display, the displayed fingerprint input image disposed at least partially overlapping the second object and providing visual guidance for receiving a touch input on the fingerprint region;
- detecting the touch input to the fingerprint region as guided by the displayed fingerprint input image, and obtaining, via the fingerprint sensor, fingerprint data based on the touch input, wherein the overlapped second object is nonresponsive with respect to the detected touch input;
- and
- comparing the obtained fingerprint data with the stored fingerprint data to authenticate the obtained fingerprint data, and controlling the display to display at least a second new object by accessing the function of the application associated with the first object when the obtained fingerprint data is authenticated.
