Electronic device and method for controlling the same

Abstract

Provided is an electronic device including: first and second terminals each of which includes multiple sensors formed to detect biometric information and which are configured to receive different types of pieces of biometric information, respectively; a controller that selects one or several pieces of user information from among multiple preregistered pieces of user information using the biometric information which is input from the first terminal unit; and that forms a comparison group for user authentication; and a security module that compares the comparison group and the biometric information which is input from the second terminal unit and thus performs the user authentication, in which the second terminal unit receives the biometric information from a user after a predetermined time elapses from when the biometric information is input from the first terminal unit.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
