Braille reading using fingerprint scanner and varying vibration frequencies

A system, comprising:

• a computer device comprising a capacitive fingerprint sensor that identifies patterns of fingerprint ridges of the fingerprint including arches, loops, and whorls, and a vibration mechanism, wherein the computer device is configured to:
• identify with the fingerprint sensor one of six predefined areas of a fingerprint based on the one of the six predefined areas being centered on the fingerprint sensor;
• determine a state of a braille dot of a braille cell that corresponds to the one of the six predefined areas of the fingerprint, wherein the state is one of a filled dot and a hollow dot;
• and
• cause the vibration mechanism to generate one of:
• a first type of vibration based on the state being a filled dot;
• and second type of vibration based on the state being a hollow dot.

A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a computer device to cause the computing device to:

• convert text data to data defining a braille cell;
• identify one of six predefined areas of a fingerprint with a capacitive fingerprint sensor that identifies patterns of fingerprint ridges of the fingerprint including arches, loops, and whorls;
• determine a state of a braille dot of the braille cell that corresponds to the identified one of the six predefined areas of the fingerprint;
• and
• generate one of a first type of vibration and a second type of vibration based on the determined state of the braille dot.
