Abstract
A fingerprint sensing system. The fingerprint sensing system includes: at least one sensor; at least one display device; at least one application processor; and at least one secure enclave processor. The application processor(s) receives fingerprint data from the sensor(s) and provides the fingerprint data to the secure enclave processor(s). The secure enclave processor(s) decodes the fingerprint data and provides a signal indicative of at least one matched node. The application processor(s), responsive to receipt of the signal indicative of the matched node(s), presents at least a portion of a synthetic fingerprint image via at least one display device corresponding to the matched node(s).
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- at an electronic device with a display and a fingerprint sensor:
- capturing first fingerprint information using the fingerprint sensor;
- in response to capturing the first fingerprint information, displaying, on the display, a fingerprint representation with a first portion of the fingerprint representation displayed differently from remaining portions of the fingerprint representation, the remaining portions of the fingerprint representation including a second portion of the fingerprint representation;
- after displaying the fingerprint representation with the first portion of the fingerprint representation displayed differently from remaining portions of the fingerprint representation, capturing second fingerprint information using the fingerprint sensor;
- and
- in response to capturing the second fingerprint information, changing an appearance of the second portion of the fingerprint representation.
An electronic device comprising:
- a fingerprint sensor;
- and
- a display;
- wherein the electronic device is configured to:
- capture first fingerprint information using the fingerprint sensor;
- in response to capturing the first fingerprint information, display, on the display, a fingerprint representation with a first portion of the fingerprint representation displayed differently from remaining portions of the fingerprint representation, the remaining portions of the fingerprint representation including a second portion of the fingerprint representation;
- after displaying the fingerprint representation with the first portion of the fingerprint representation displayed differently from remaining portions of the fingerprint representation, capture second fingerprint information using the fingerprint sensor;
- and
- in response to capturing the second fingerprint information, change an appearance of the second portion of the fingerprint representation.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that when executed by an electronic device cause the electronic device to:
- capture first fingerprint information using a fingerprint sensor;
- in response to capturing the first fingerprint information, display, on a display, a fingerprint representation with a first portion of the fingerprint representation displayed differently from remaining portions of the fingerprint representation, the remaining portions of the fingerprint representation including a second portion of the fingerprint representation;
- after displaying the fingerprint representation with the first portion of the fingerprint representation displayed differently from remaining portions of the fingerprint representation, capture second fingerprint information using the fingerprint sensor;
- and
- in response to capturing the second fingerprint information, change an appearance of the second portion of the fingerprint representation.
