A control method and electronic device

Abstract

The present invention provides a control method and electronic equipment. The method includes: determining the form of the electronic equipment when the electronic equipment is in the shutdown state; The fingerprint recognition module on the key is powered on and running; obtain a power-on signal; determine the working state of the fingerprint recognition module based on the power-on signal; when it is determined that the working state of the fingerprint recognition module is abnormal, control the electronic device to perform a restart operation, and at the same time control the power-off of the fingerprint identification module to reset the fingerprint identification module; when it is determined that the electronic device is restarted, control the fingerprint identification module to power on and run again. The control method of the invention can effectively and uniformly control the power-on and power-off of the fingerprint identification modules prepared by different manufacturers during the start-up process of the electronic equipment.

Description

technical field [0001] The embodiments of the present invention relate to the technical field of computers, and in particular to a control method and electronic equipment. Background technique [0002] At present, many notebook computers adopt a one-button boot design, that is, a fingerprint recognition module is integrated on the power button. When the user presses the power button, the fingerprint recognition module will record the fingerprint. In contrast, if the match is successful, it will directly enter the system, and the user does not need to enter the fingerprint and password again. This kind of electronic equipment is usually set separately for the fingerprint identification module at the power supply terminal connected to the battery, and is used to provide +3VL power to the fingerprint identification module. However, because most of the fingerprint identification modules produced by different manufacturers have different reset methods, it is impossible to use th...

Problems solved by technology

However, because most of the fingerprint identification modules produced by different manufacturers have different reset methods, it is impossible to use the traditional RST# signal (reset signal) to realize the reset of all different types of fingerprint identification modules, resulting in the fingerprint identification module being always in the running state, and also That is, as long as the battery exists, the fingerprint recognition module will always work, which will easily lead to its failure, and once a failure occurs, the built-in battery must be pulled out to solve it.

In addition, no matter what state the electronic device is in, the fingerprint identification module is always in the working state, which increases the standby power consumption of the system.
