Method of registering biometric authentication information of electronic device, biometric authentication device, and storage medium storing instructions to perform biometric authentication method

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing computer executable instructions, wherein the instructions, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a biometric authentication method of an electronic device, the method comprising:

• displaying a plurality of biometric information recognition areas on a display module of the electronic device;
• detecting an input of biometric information of a user on at least one of the plurality of biometric information recognition areas;
• determining location information indicating at least one recognition region on which the input of biometric information is detected;
• determining whether the input biometric information is same pre-registered biometric information included in pre-registered authentication information and whether the determined location information is same pre-registered location information included in the pre-registered authentication information;
• and
• permitting access of the electronic device to the user if the input biometric information is same the pre-registered biometric information included in the pre-registered authentication information and the determined location information is same the pre-registered location information included in the pre-registered authentication information.

An electronic device comprising:

• a display module;
• a biometric information recognition module included in the display module;
• a signal processor configured to generate a plurality of biometric information recognition areas for recognizing biometric information on the biometric information recognition module;
• a memory configured to store one or more instructions;
• and
• a processor configured to execute the one or more instructions stored in the memory, wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
• detect an input of biometric information of a user on at least one of the plurality of biometric information recognition areas,
• determine location information indicating at least one recognition region on which the input of biometric information is detected,
• determine whether the input biometric information is same pre-registered biometric information included in pre-registered authentication information and whether the determined location information is same pre-registered location information included in the pre-registered authentication information, and
• permit access of the electronic device to the user if the input biometric information is same the pre-registered biometric information included in the pre-registered authentication information and the determined location information is same the pre-registered location information included in the pre-registered authentication information.
