[0057] In order to make the present application more comprehensible, the present application will be described in more detail below with reference to the relevant drawings. The preferred embodiments of the present application are shown in the drawings. However, the present application can be realized in different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, the purpose of providing these embodiments is to make the disclosure of the present application more comprehensive and thorough.

[0058] Figure 1a Fig. 1 shows a schematic diagram of the structure of the fingerprint detection device according to the first embodiment of the present application, Figure 1b Fig. 2 shows a schematic diagram of the principle of the fingerprint collection by the fingerprint detection device according to the first embodiment of the present application.

[0059] As Figure 1aAs shown, the fingerprint detection device includes a coating layer 110, a packaging layer 120, and a fingerprint detection chip 130. The coating layer 110 covers the packaging layer 120 and has a surface including a fingerprint sensing area (not shown in the figure), and the coating layer 110 has a plurality of thicknesses. Further, the surface of the coating layer 110 where the fingerprint sensing area is located is, for example, arc-shaped, and the thickness of the surface of the coating layer 110 decreases from the center to the edge. The fingerprint detection chip 130 is packaged in the packaging layer 120, and the packaging layer 120 is, for example, a molded part. The fingerprint detection chip 130 includes a capacitive fingerprint sensor 140 and a processor 150. The capacitive fingerprint sensor 140 sets an acquisition circuit inside based on a plurality of circuit parameters and acquires corresponding capacitive detection data of a plurality of initial fingerprint images. The processor 150 is configured to process the capacitive detection data of the initial fingerprint images to obtain a plurality of initial fingerprint images, provide a plurality of weighting coefficient matrices corresponding to each initial fingerprint image, and superimpose the plurality of initial fingerprint images based on the plurality of weighting coefficient matrices to obtain a target fingerprint image.

[0060] In combination Figure 1b As shown, when the finger 500 touches the fingerprint sensing area in the coating layer 110 of the fingerprint detection device, the thickness d of the coating layer 110 is not uniform, and thus the module thickness of the fingerprint detection device is not uniform, and thus the signal amount of the capacitive detection data acquired by the capacitive fingerprint sensor 140 is different due to the influence of the module thickness of the corresponding area.

[0061] In the fingerprint detection device of the present application, the fingerprint detection chip 130 acquires a plurality of initial fingerprint images based on a plurality of circuit parameters, provides a plurality of weighting coefficient matrices corresponding to each initial fingerprint image, and superimposes the plurality of initial fingerprint images based on the plurality of weighting coefficient matrices to obtain a target fingerprint image, so as to solve the technical problem of poor quality of the fingerprint image caused by the non-uniform module thickness of the fingerprint detection device.

Figure 3 A flowchart of steps S110 and S120 in the fingerprint detection method according to the second embodiment of the present application is shown. Figure 4 A flowchart of step S130 in the fingerprint detection method according to the second embodiment of the present application is shown. Figure 5 Another flowchart of step S130 in the fingerprint detection method according to the second embodiment of the present application is shown. Figure 6 A flowchart of step S140 in the fingerprint detection method according to the second embodiment of the present application is shown. Figure 7 A schematic diagram of the principle of step S140 in the fingerprint detection method according to the second embodiment of the present application is shown.

[0063] AsFigure 2 As shown, the fingerprint detection method comprises the following steps:

[0064] Step S110: Obtain multiple circuit parameters of the acquisition circuit according to the thickness of the fingerprint sensing area.

[0065] Step S120: Collect multiple initial fingerprint images according to the multiple circuit parameters. The fingerprint detection chip 130 collects one corresponding initial fingerprint image based on each circuit parameter.

[0066] Step S130: Obtain multiple weighting coefficient matrices corresponding to each initial fingerprint image. The fingerprint detection chip 130, for example, provides one corresponding weighting coefficient matrix to each initial fingerprint image based on the module thickness of the fingerprint detection device, or the relationship between the different module thicknesses of the fingerprint detection device and the signal amount sizes collected thereby, and according to the circuit parameter of each initial fingerprint image.

[0067] Step S140: Superimpose the multiple initial fingerprint images based on the multiple weighting coefficient matrices to obtain a target fingerprint image. The fingerprint detection chip 130 superimposes the multiple initial fingerprint images at a certain proportion based on the multiple weighting coefficient matrices to obtain a target fingerprint image with higher quality.

[0068] In other embodiments, for example, the fingerprint sensing area of the detection device is further divided into multiple sub-areas. Further, in combination with Figure 3 As shown, step S110 comprises the following steps:

[0069] Step S111: Obtain multiple circuit parameters based on the thickness of the fingerprint detection module of each sub-area. The circuit parameters are, for example, amplification coefficients and offset values. Further, for example, the fingerprint detection area is divided into multiple sub-areas arranged in an array, and the thickness of the fingerprint detection module corresponding to each sub-area is measured by the processor 150 in the fingerprint detection chip 130. Further, the thickness of the fingerprint detection module in the sub-area is, for example, the average or maximum value of the thickness corresponding to all pixel points in the area. Further, for example, the thickness of the fingerprint detection module of each sub-area is divided into multiple groups according to the size, and for example, one circuit parameter is assigned based on the average or median or maximum value of the thickness of each group, which is, for example, the circuit parameter of the acquisition circuit that best matches the thickness (average or median or maximum value of the thickness of each group), and the initial fingerprint image collected under the circuit parameter of the acquisition circuit that best matches the thickness is the clearest image at the sub-area. Further, the thicker the thickness of the fingerprint detection module, the larger the amplification coefficient and the lower the offset value in the circuit parameter that best matches the sub-area.

[0070] Further, step S120 comprises the following steps:

[0071] Step S121: set the acquisition circuit of the fingerprint detection device according to each circuit parameter and acquire a corresponding initial fingerprint image. Specifically, the processor 150 in the fingerprint detection chip 130 provides each circuit parameter to the capacitive fingerprint sensor 140 to set the acquisition circuit in the capacitive fingerprint sensor 140 and acquire the capacitive detection data of the corresponding initial fingerprint image, and then the processor 150 processes the capacitive detection data of the initial fingerprint image to obtain a plurality of initial fingerprint images.

[0072] Further, in combination with Figure 4 As shown in FIG. 1, step S130 for example includes the following steps:

[0073] Step S131: measure the thickness of the fingerprint detection module in each sub-region. Further, the processor 150 in the fingerprint detection chip 130 is controlled to measure the thickness of the fingerprint detection module corresponding to each sub-region. Further, the thickness of the fingerprint detection module in the sub-region is for example the average or maximum value of the thickness corresponding to all pixel points in the region.

[0074] Step S132: based on the thickness of the fingerprint detection module in each sub-region and the plurality of circuit parameters, correspondingly assign a plurality of weighting coefficients to each sub-region in a plurality of weighting coefficient arrays. Specifically, the processor 150 correspondingly assigns a plurality of weighting coefficients to each sub-region in a plurality of weighting coefficient arrays based on the thickness of each sub-region and the circuit parameters corresponding to each initial fingerprint image. Further, the sum of the plurality of weighting coefficients of each sub-region in the plurality of weighting coefficient arrays is 1.

[0075] Further, for example, taking the case of providing two circuit parameters as an example, two initial fingerprint images are correspondingly acquired. The initial fingerprint image acquired based on the circuit parameter with a larger magnification factor can completely contain the fingerprint information of the thicker region in the module, while the fingerprint information of the thinner region in the module is missing due to image saturation. Similarly, the initial fingerprint image acquired based on the circuit parameter with a smaller magnification factor can completely contain the fingerprint information of the thinner region in the module, while the fingerprint information of the thicker region in the module is missing due to quantization error. Further, the weighting coefficient of the current region is determined according to which initial fingerprint image the current region is better represented in.

[0076] In other embodiments, in combination with Figure 5 As shown in FIG. 1, step S130 for example includes the following steps:

[0077] Step S231: Acquire a test fingerprint image of the test object. Specifically, the capacitive fingerprint sensor 140 collects capacitance detection data of the test object and processes it through the processor 150 to obtain a test fingerprint image. The test object is a flat and deformable material to provide full coverage of the fingerprint sensing area with pressure. The grayscale image of the test fingerprint then reflects the relationship between the thickness of different fingerprint detection modules and the signal strength. For example, in a fingerprint detection device with a curved surface, the signal strength in the central region of the grayscale image of the test fingerprint is smaller than that in the edge region.

[0078] Step S232: Based on the grayscale image of the test fingerprint image, assign multiple weighting coefficients to each sub-region in multiple weighting coefficient arrays. Specifically, the processor 150 assigns multiple weighting coefficients to each sub-region in multiple weighting coefficient arrays based on the grayscale image of the test fingerprint image. Further, the sum of the multiple weighting coefficients of each sub-region in the multiple weighting coefficient arrays is 1. Further, the initial fingerprint image acquired based on circuit parameters with a larger amplification factor can completely contain the fingerprint information with smaller signal intensity in the test fingerprint image, while the fingerprint information with larger signal intensity in the test fingerprint image will be missing due to image saturation. Similarly, the initial fingerprint image acquired based on circuit parameters with a smaller amplification factor can completely contain the fingerprint information with larger signal intensity in the test fingerprint image, while the fingerprint information with smaller signal intensity in the test fingerprint image will be missing due to quantization error.

[0079] Furthermore, combined Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, step S140 includes, for example, the following steps:

[0080] Step S141: Obtain multiple pixel values ​​corresponding to each sub-region in multiple initial fingerprint images. Specifically, the processor 150 obtains the pixel values ​​corresponding to each sub-region in multiple initial fingerprint images (P1-Pn). Taking the sub-region in the first row and first column of the fingerprint sensing area as an example, the processor 150 obtains the pixel values ​​in the sub-region located in the first row and first column of each initial fingerprint image until all pixel values ​​corresponding to each sub-region in each initial fingerprint image have been read.

[0081] Step S142: Obtain multiple weighting coefficients corresponding to each sub-region in multiple weighting coefficient matrices; specifically, the processor 150 obtains multiple weighting coefficients corresponding to each sub-region in multiple weighting coefficient matrices (A1-1n). Taking the sub-region in the first row and first column of the fingerprint sensing area as an example, the processor 150 obtains the weighting coefficients (W11-Wn1) of the sub-region located in the first row and first column of each weighting coefficient matrix, until all the weighting coefficients corresponding to each sub-region in each weighting coefficient matrix have been read.

[0082] Step S143: Multiply the pixel values of each sub-region in multiple initial fingerprint images by their corresponding weighting coefficients and then sum them up. For example, taking the pixel value of the sub-region at the first row and the first column of the target fingerprint image as an example, the pixel value of the sub-region at the first row and the first column of the target fingerprint image is equal to the product of the pixel value of the sub-region at the first row and the first column of the initial fingerprint image P1 multiplied by the weighting coefficient W11 of its corresponding weighting coefficient matrix A1, the product of the pixel value of the sub-region at the first row and the first column of the initial fingerprint image Pi (1 < i < n, where i is an integer and n is an integer greater than 1) multiplied by the weighting coefficient Wi1 of its corresponding weighting coefficient matrix Ai, and the product of the pixel value of the sub-region at the first row and the first column of the initial fingerprint image Pn multiplied by the weighting coefficient Wn1 of its corresponding weighting coefficient matrix An.

[0083] Figure 8 FIG. shows a schematic structural diagram of a fingerprint detection chip in a fingerprint detection device according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

[0084] As Figure 8 shown, the fingerprint detection chip 130 includes a capacitive fingerprint sensor 140 and a processor 150.

[0085] The capacitive fingerprint sensor 140 sets the acquisition circuit inside based on a plurality of circuit parameters and acquires a plurality of sets of capacitive detection data. The processor 150 includes a second control unit 151, a measurement unit 152, a second calculation unit 153, a processing unit 154, and a first calculation unit 155. The fingerprint sensing area of the coating surface is divided into a plurality of sub-areas. The second control unit 151 provides a plurality of circuit parameters to the capacitive fingerprint sensor 140 based on the thickness of the fingerprint detection module of the plurality of sub-areas, and processes a plurality of sets of capacitive detection data obtained from the capacitive fingerprint sensor 140 to obtain a plurality of initial fingerprint images. The measurement unit 152 controls the measurement of the thickness of the fingerprint detection module of the plurality of sub-areas. The second calculation unit 153 assigns a plurality of weighting coefficients to each sub-area in a plurality of weighting coefficient arrays based on the thickness of the fingerprint detection module of each sub-area obtained from the measurement unit 152 and the plurality of circuit parameters obtained from the second control unit 151. The sum of the plurality of weighting coefficients of each sub-area in the plurality of weighting coefficient arrays is 1. In the sub-area of the plurality of sub-areas whose thickness is greater than the first threshold value, the corresponding weighting coefficient in the plurality of initial fingerprint images is proportional to the corresponding circuit parameter; in the sub-area of the plurality of sub-areas whose thickness is less than or equal to the first threshold value, the corresponding weighting coefficient in the plurality of initial fingerprint images is inversely proportional to the corresponding circuit parameter, and the circuit parameter is the amplification coefficient of the acquisition circuit. The processing unit 154 obtains a plurality of sets of pixel values corresponding to each sub-area in the plurality of initial fingerprint images from the second control unit 151, and obtains a plurality of weighting coefficients corresponding to each sub-area in the plurality of weighting coefficient matrices from the second calculation unit 153.

The processor 250 includes a second control unit 251, a first control unit 252, a third calculation unit 253, a processing unit 254, and a first calculation unit 255. The fingerprint sensing area of the coating surface is divided into a plurality of sub-areas. The second control unit 251 provides a plurality of circuit parameters to the capacitive fingerprint sensor 240 based on the thickness of the fingerprint detection module of the plurality of sub-areas, and processes a plurality of sets of capacitive detection data obtained from the capacitive fingerprint sensor 240 to obtain a plurality of initial fingerprint images. The first control unit 252 controls the capacitive fingerprint sensor 240 to obtain a test object and finally obtain a test fingerprint image, and the test object is, for example, a uniform and deformable object. The third calculation unit 253 processes the corresponding gray scale image based on the test fingerprint image obtained from the first control unit 252, and assigns a plurality of weighting coefficients to each sub-area in a plurality of weighting coefficient arrays based on the gray scale image of the test fingerprint image, wherein the sum of the plurality of weighting coefficients of each sub-area in the plurality of weighting coefficient arrays is 1. In the sub-area where the gray value of the plurality of sub-areas in the gray scale image of the test fingerprint image is greater than the second threshold, the corresponding weighting coefficient in the plurality of initial fingerprint images is inversely proportional to the corresponding circuit parameter; in the sub-area where the gray value of the plurality of sub-areas in the gray scale image of the test fingerprint image is less than or equal to the second threshold, the corresponding weighting coefficient in the plurality of initial fingerprint images is proportional to the corresponding circuit parameter, and the circuit parameter is the amplification coefficient of the acquisition circuit.
