Fingerprint Accessory Startup for Faster Display Device Wake-Up
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face cumbersome and time-consuming processes when starting electronic devices, which negatively impact user experience.
Innovation Solution
A device starting system and method utilizing a display device and an accessory device, where the accessory device collects fingerprint data and sends a turn-on instruction via Bluetooth when a match is confirmed, and provides feedback if not matched, allowing quick and convenient device activation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of time
If traditional manual operations are used to start an electronic device, then the device can be started, but the process is time-consuming and cumbersome
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by collecting and storing fingerprint data before the device needs to start. When the device is turned off, the fingerprint sensor remains active and ready to capture data immediately upon user contact, eliminating the need for manual login operations during startup
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces mechanical/manual operations (button pressing, menu navigation, login input) with a biometric recognition system. The fingerprint sensor automatically detects and verifies user identity through tactile contact, substituting the entire manual startup sequence with a single biometric authentication action
2Productivity
If fingerprint verification is implemented through accessory device and Bluetooth connection, then startup speed is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The accessory device serves as an intermediary between the user and the electronic device. It collects fingerprint data and communicates with the electronic device through Bluetooth, acting as a mediator that simplifies the overall system architecture by consolidating the fingerprint sensing and communication functions in a separate device
Solution Approach 2:
The accessory device performs multiple functions: it acts as a fingerprint sensor, a Bluetooth communicator, and a verification controller. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate components within the electronic device itself, thereby managing system complexity while maintaining fast startup performance
3Reliability
If fingerprint data is collected and verified, then security is improved, but the number of operations required increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the fingerprint verification process with the device startup process. Instead of treating them as separate operations (first verify fingerprint, then start device), the system combines them into a single integrated action where fingerprint capture automatically triggers verification and subsequent device activation in one continuous flow
Data Source
AI summary
A device starting system and method. A display device and an accessory device are provided in the device starting system. When the display device is in a turn-off state and the accessory device is in a turn-on state, a user may perform an operation on the accessory device, and the accessory device collects to-be-verified fingerprint data in response to the operation of the user. Then, the to-be-verified fingerprint data is matched with pre-stored fingerprint data of the user, to identify whether an identity of the user is valid. If the to-be-verified fingerprint data successfully matches the fingerprint data of the user, the display device performs a turn-on operation. Alternatively, if the to-be-verified fingerprint data fails to match the fingerprint data of the user, the display device may output a first feedback.
