Abstract

An electronic device is disclosed that includes a camera, a display, and a processor. The processor is configured to obtain a request associated with biometric authentication, obtain an image including at least one external object using the camera, display a specified image on the display, when displaying at least a portion of the obtained image on a specified area of the display, the at least a portion of the obtained image being as a portion of the specified image, in response to displaying a specified object associated with the biometric authentication among the at least one external object on the specified area, perform the biometric authentication using biometric information corresponding to the specific object, and when displaying another image different from the obtained image on the display, the other image being as a portion of the specified image, in response to obtaining an image including the specified object among the at least one external object, perform the biometric authentication using the biometric information corresponding to the specified object. In addition, various embodiments recognized through the specification are possible.

Claims15

Dependent claims

An electronic device, comprising:

a camera;
a display;
and
a processor,
wherein the processor is configured to:
obtain a request associated with biometric authentication;
obtain an image including at least one external object using the camera, in response to the request, wherein the image comprises a specified area and a non-specified area;
identify a state of the electronic device;
when the state of the electronic device corresponds to a first state:
display a preview image comprising the specified area of the display in conjunction with the biometric authentication;
and
in response to identifying that the specified area of the image includes a specified biometric object associated with the biometric authentication among the at least one external object, perform the biometric authentication using biometric information corresponding to the specific biometric object;
and
when the state of the electronic device corresponds to a second state:
display a non-preview image on the display;
and
in response to identifying that the image includes the specified biometric object among the at least one external object, perform the biometric authentication using the biometric information corresponding to the specified biometric object,
wherein the first state is a state where the biometric authentication is used to perform payment, and
wherein the second state is a state where the biometric authentication is used to unlock the electronic device.
