Start control method and electronic device

Abstract

The invention provides a startup control method and electronic equipment. The startup control method is applied to an electronic device including a biometric identification module. The method includes: in a first state of the electronic device, generating a first potential according to a specific operation. In the first state, the All power modules of the electronic device are in a non-power supply state; the first power sub-module in the power module is activated by the first potential in order to supply power to the biometric identification module, thereby activating the biometric identification module. Operation; and when the biometric identification module recognizes that the user is an authorized user, starting the second power sub-module in the power module to power the electronic device, thereby starting the electronic device.

Description

technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of electronic equipment, and more particularly, to a startup control method and electronic equipment. Background technique

[0002] Currently, for the safety of electronic devices, various biometric sensors have been used to control activation of electronic devices. Such biometric sensors include, for example, fingerprint sensors, retina / iris sensors, and the like.

[0003] When electronic equipment is started, there are two common ways, one is to simply press the power-on button, and then start fingerprint recognition, and the power-on and fingerprint recognition are independent. The problem with this method is that it is usually impossible to control the startup through fingerprint identification, and it is not a real fingerprint identification boot solution, so it cannot give users a very good experience.

[0004] Another way is to use a dedicated fingerprint recognition chip for fingerprint recognition a...
