==BIOMETRIC AUTHENTICATION SYSTEM AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17961324 titled 'BIOMETRIC AUTHENTICATION SYSTEM AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR SAME

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes a foldable electronic device that includes two housings, a display, a camera, and a sensor. The device can operate in two modes - user recognition and user authentication. It uses face recognition-based biometric authentication to control the display and display content corresponding to an event.

* The device is foldable, allowing for easy portability and storage.
* It includes a camera that can operate in two modes - user recognition and user authentication.
* The device uses sensors to detect the folding state of the device.
* When the device is folded in a certain way, it captures images of the user's face using the camera in user recognition mode.
* If a face is detected in the images, the camera switches to user authentication mode and captures additional images.
* The device then performs face recognition-based biometric authentication using the captured images.
* If the authentication is successful, the device controls the display to show content related to the event.

== Potential Applications ==
* Personal electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, or laptops that can be easily folded and unfolded.
* Security systems that require user authentication using biometric data.
* Event notification systems that display relevant content based on user authentication.

== Problems Solved ==
* Convenient and portable design for electronic devices.
* Enhanced security through biometric authentication.
* Personalized and context-aware content display.

== Benefits ==
* Easy to carry and store due to the foldable design.
* Improved security by using face recognition-based biometric authentication.
* Customized content display based on user authentication.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

A foldable electronic device includes a first housing and a second housing that are foldable with respect to each other; at least one sensor; a display; a camera configured to operate in a first mode associated with user recognition, and a second mode associated with user authentication; a memory storing instructions; at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to: control the display to display notification information about an event corresponding to the foldable electronic device; based on a folding state of the foldable electronic device detected using the at least one sensor satisfying a predetermined condition, obtain at least one first image using the camera operating in the first mode; identify whether a face is present in the at least one first image; based on identifying that the face is present in the at least one first image, obtain at least one second image using the camera operating in the second mode; perform face recognition-based biometric authentication using at least part of the at least one second image; and based on the biometric authentication being successful, control the display to display content corresponding to the event.
