==ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR ACQUIRING FINGERPRINT INFORMATION THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17837728 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR ACQUIRING FINGERPRINT INFORMATION THEREOF

==Simplified Explanation==

An electronic device is described in this patent application. The device includes a light source, a fingerprint sensor, a memory, and a processor. 

* The light source is used to create an irradiation area on a display surface by illuminating the display. This area includes a fingerprint recognition area.
* The fingerprint sensor detects the reflected light from the display surface.
* The memory stores an image of the reflected light when the light source is turned on.
* The processor is connected to the light source, fingerprint sensor, and memory.
* The processor can control the light source to irradiate light in a designated direction.
* The processor can obtain an image of the reflected light and analyze it to determine if the object detected by the fingerprint sensor is flat or three-dimensional.

Potential applications of this technology:

* Enhanced fingerprint recognition on electronic devices.
* Improved security features on devices such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops.
* More accurate and reliable fingerprint authentication for access control systems.

Problems solved by this technology:

* The technology helps to distinguish between flat and three-dimensional objects when using fingerprint recognition.
* It improves the accuracy and reliability of fingerprint authentication by analyzing the reflected light.

Benefits of this technology:

* Enhanced security and protection against unauthorized access.
* Improved user experience with faster and more accurate fingerprint recognition.
* Potential for integration into various electronic devices for enhanced security features.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a light source, a fingerprint sensor, a memory configured to record an image of a reflected light detected when the light source is turned on, and a processor configured to operatively coupled to the light source, the fingerprint sensor, and the memory, wherein the light source may form an irradiation area on a display surface by light irradiation to a display, the irradiation area may include a fingerprint recognition area formed on the display, at least one surface may match the fingerprint recognition area or at least one vertex coincides, and the matched area may form a first area. The memory may store instructions allowing the processor to irradiate light in a designated direction using the light source, obtain a first image and analyze the first image to distinguish whether the object detected by the fingerprint sensor is flat or three-dimensional.
