Embodiment Construction

[0081] The methods, devices, and GUIs described herein respond to input on a fingerprint sensor instead of or in addition to input on a touch-sensitive surface or other input device. In some implementations, a touch-sensitive surface with a spatial resolution high enough to detect fingerprint features formed by individual fingerprint ridges is used as a fingerprint sensor. When a fingerprint sensor is used without a separate touch-sensitive surface, the fingerprint sensor can be used as a replacement for many of the functions of a touch-sensitive surface with a much smaller form factor because the fingerprint sensor can detect contact over the fingerprint sensor even if the fingerprint has an area as large as or larger than the area of ​​the fingerprint sensor. When a fingerprint sensor is used in addition to a stand-alone touch surface, the fingerprint sensor can enhance a touch-sensitive surface by: providing accurate detection of twisting motion of a contact, identifying th...

Abstract

An electronic device with a display and a fingerprint sensor displays a fingerprint enrollment interface and detects, on the fingerprint sensor, a plurality of finger gestures performed with a finger. The device collects fingerprint information from the plurality of finger gestures performed with the finger. After collecting the fingerprint information, the device determines whether the collected fingerprint information is sufficient to enroll a fingerprint of the finger. When the collected fingerprint information for the finger is sufficient to enroll the fingerprint of the finger, the device enrolls the fingerprint of the finger with the device.

Description

[0001] Related Patent Applications [0002] This patent application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 875,669, filed September 9, 2013, and U.S. Nonprovisional Patent Application No. 14 / 480,183, filed September 8, 2014, both of which The application is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] The present invention relates generally to electronic devices having fingerprint sensors, including but not limited to electronic devices having fingerprint sensors for detecting inputs for manipulating a user interface. Background technique [0004] The use of touch-sensitive surfaces as input devices for computers and other electronic computing devices has grown significantly in recent years. Exemplary touch-sensitive surfaces include touchpads and touchscreen displays. Such surfaces are widely used to manipulate user interface objects on a display. Additionally, some electronic devices include fingerprint sensors for au...
