Biometric Feature Association for Mobile Applications
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The cumbersome process of repeated fingerprint registration for multiple applications on mobile terminals leads to low registration efficiency and user inconvenience, as each application requires separate fingerprint registration.
Innovation Solution
A method that associates applications with biometric features based on type information, allowing for quick biometric feature association by matching type information and using a shared biometric feature for authentication, thereby reducing the need for multiple registrations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If each application registers fingerprint separately, then application security is ensured, but registration efficiency deteriorates and operation becomes cumbersome
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the fingerprint registration process across multiple applications by introducing a host application that manages fingerprint templates on behalf of multiple applications. Instead of each application independently registering fingerprints, the host application consolidates this function, allowing multiple applications to share the same fingerprint template for authentication, thereby improving registration efficiency while maintaining security through centralized management.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements universality by creating a host application that serves multiple applications simultaneously. The host application's fingerprint template can be used by multiple guest applications for authentication purposes, making the fingerprint registration system multi-functional and applicable across different application types without requiring separate registration for each application.
2Reliability
If each application registers fingerprint separately, then application-specific authentication is maintained, but user operation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple authentication operations into a single fingerprint template managed by the host application. Users only need to register their fingerprint once with the host application, and this single template serves multiple applications, dramatically simplifying the operation while maintaining authentication accuracy through the host application's verification process.
Solution Approach 2:
The host application provides self-service functionality by automatically managing fingerprint templates and handling authentication requests from multiple guest applications. Users interact only with the host application for fingerprint registration, and the host application autonomously manages the template sharing and verification across different applications without requiring user intervention for each application.

AI summary
A method for associating an application program with a biometric feature, an association apparatus, and a mobile terminal, and relate to the field of communications technologies. The method includes obtaining a biometric feature association request of a first application, receiving a first request from the first application, where the first request is used to request to associate the first application with a biometric feature, obtaining type information of the first application, determining a second application installed on a mobile terminal, where type information of the second application matches the type information of the first application, and the second application is associated with a first biometric feature, and associating the first application with the first biometric feature. Hence, quick biometric feature association is implemented, and biometric feature association efficiency is improved.
