US 11,443,019 B2 · Methods and devices for fingerprint unlocking

Abstract

A method of unlocking an electronic device with fingerprints is provided. The method includes: detecting a first contact parameter between an object and a touch screen of the electronic device; in response to determining that the first contact parameter meets a first preset condition to awaken a fingerprint recognition function of the electronic device, detecting a second contact parameter between the object and the touch screen; and awakening the fingerprint recognition function; in response to determining that the second contact parameter meets a second preset condition to perform the fingerprint recognition function, collecting fingerprint information of the object with a fingerprint sensor configured in the touch screen; and in response to determining that the fingerprint information matches pre-stored reference fingerprint information, unlocking the electronic device.

Dependent claims

A method for unlocking an electronic device with fingerprints, comprising:

detecting a first contact parameter between an object and a touch screen of the electronic device;
in response to determining that the first contact parameter meets a first preset condition to awaken a fingerprint recognition function of the electronic device,
detecting a second contact parameter between the object and the touch screen;
and
simultaneously awakening the fingerprint recognition function;
in response to determining that the second contact parameter meets a second preset condition to perform the fingerprint recognition function, collecting fingerprint information of the object with a fingerprint sensor configured in the touch screen;
and
in response to determining that the fingerprint information matches pre-stored reference fingerprint information, unlocking the electronic device.

5 more elements

An electronic device, comprising:

a processor;
and
a storage medium storing machine executable instructions;
wherein, upon loading of the machine executable instructions, the processor is caused to execute:
detecting a first contact parameter between an object and a touch screen of the electronic device;
in response to determining that the first contact parameter meets a first preset condition to awaken a fingerprint recognition function of the electronic device, detecting a second contact parameter between the object and the touch screen;
and
simultaneously awakening the fingerprint recognition function;
in response to determining that the second contact parameter meets a second preset condition to perform the fingerprint recognition function, collecting fingerprint information of the object with a fingerprint sensor configured in the touch screen;
and
in response to determining that the fingerprint information matches pre-stored reference fingerprint information, unlocking the electronic device.

8 more elements

A non-transitory machine readable storage medium storing machine executable instructions, the machine executable instructions cause a processor to execute acts comprising:

detecting a first contact parameter between an object and a touch screen of an electronic device;
in response to determining that the first contact parameter meets a first preset condition to awaken a fingerprint recognition function of the electronic device, detecting a second contact parameter between the object and the touch screen;
and
simultaneously awakening the fingerprint recognition function;
in response to determining that the second contact parameter meets a second preset condition to perform the fingerprint recognition function, collecting fingerprint information of the object with a fingerprint sensor configured in the touch screen;
and
in response to determining that the fingerprint information matches pre-stored reference fingerprint information, unlocking the electronic device.
