Solution Overview

Problem

Current human-computer interface technologies, such as those used in touch display panels, are inefficient and lack confidentiality, particularly in emergency situations where users struggle to quickly and secretly send messages or calls, as they require unlocking and manual input, which can be slow and risky.

Innovation Solution

An electronic device with a fingerprint recognition area on the display unit and a sensing unit below it, allowing for simultaneous capture of fingerprint information from at least two fingers, which, when matched with preset data, executes predefined commands, such as sending emergency messages, using a processing unit and optional capacitance and pressure sensing units for enhanced accuracy.

AI summary

An electronic device and a command execution method for a fingerprint recognition-based electronic device are provided. The electronic device includes a display unit and a sensing unit. A fingerprint recognition area is provided on the display unit. When the captured fingerprint information includes fingerprint information of at least two fingers, it means that the user touches the fingerprint recognition area with multiple fingers, it is likely that an emergency occurs. Then, the fingerprint recognition unit matches the collected fingerprint information with the preset fingerprint information, and if the matching is successful, the processing unit executes a corresponding operation command. Compared with the existing technology, the electronic device of the present disclosure facilitates user operations and makes sending an emergency message more conveniently, efficiently and secretly; on the other hand, the electronic device greatly reduces the overall thickness of mobile devices, making mobile devices thinner and lighter to meet market demand.
