Fingerprint Recognition Method and Terminal Device

A method, comprising:

• when a first touch operation performed by a user on a touchscreen of a terminal device is detected, determining, by the terminal device, an object in an area corresponding to the first touch operation as a touch object, wherein the touchscreen has a fingerprint recognition function;
• determining, by the terminal device, whether the touch object is comprised in a preset whitelist, wherein the whitelist comprises at least one object that supports fingerprint authentication;
• when it is determined that the touch object is comprised in the whitelist, collecting, by the terminal device, fingerprint information of the user using the touchscreen;
• and
• performing, by the terminal device, fingerprint authentication using the fingerprint information.

A terminal device, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• a non-transitory memory;
• and
• a touchscreen;
• wherein the non-transitory memory is configured to store an instruction;
• and
• wherein the processor is configured to invoke the instruction stored in the non-transitory memory, to cause the terminal device to perform the following operations:
• when a first touch operation performed by a user on the touchscreen of the terminal device is detected, determining an object in an area corresponding to the first touch operation as a touch object, wherein the touchscreen has a fingerprint recognition function;
• determining whether the touch object is comprised in a preset whitelist, wherein the whitelist comprises at least one object that supports fingerprint authentication;
• when it is detected that the touch object is comprised in the whitelist, collecting fingerprint information of the user using the touchscreen;
• and
• performing fingerprint authentication using the fingerprint information.
