Fingerprint Enrollment Interface With Overlapping Visual Guides
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing fingerprint enrollment methods often result in low quality due to insufficient collection of user fingerprint information, as users may not correctly adjust their hold posture based on instructions, leading to incomplete data collection despite multiple attempts.
Innovation Solution
A fingerprint enrollment method that dynamically displays multiple overlapping fingerprint input areas on a touchscreen, guiding the user to touch specific positions, ensuring more angles and positions of fingerprint information are collected without interrupting the enrollment process or requiring user learning.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If text prompts or interruption methods are used to guide users to adjust hold posture, then user guidance is provided, but fingerprint enrollment quality remains low due to incorrect user adjustments
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces visual guidance elements (arrows, highlights, animations) as intermediaries between the system instructions and the user's finger placement. These visual cues directly indicate where to place the finger and how to adjust posture, eliminating the need for users to interpret text prompts and reducing adjustment errors.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical instruction method (text prompts and interruptions) with a visual guidance system that provides real-time, intuitive feedback. This substitution allows users to understand required adjustments immediately through visual cues rather than processing text instructions, improving both ease of operation and enrollment quality.
2Quantity of substance
If multiple enrollment attempts are made with text prompts, then more fingerprint information is attempted to be collected, but enrollment quality remains low due to user inability to correctly adjust posture
Solution Approach 1:
Visual guidance elements serve as intermediaries that translate the abstract concept of 'correct finger placement' into concrete, easily understandable visual indicators. Arrows pointing to specific areas, highlighted zones, and animated cues guide users to achieve proper finger positioning across multiple enrollment attempts, ensuring both quantity and quality of collected information improve.
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides real-time visual feedback during the enrollment process, showing users whether their finger placement is correct and guiding adjustments immediately. This continuous feedback loop allows users to learn and improve their technique across multiple attempts, increasing both the quantity and quality of fingerprint data collected.
3Ease of operation
If text prompts and interruptions are used during enrollment, then user behavior is guided, but user experience deteriorates due to process interruptions
Solution Approach 1:
The visual guidance system operates continuously throughout the enrollment process without interrupting the user. The guidance elements remain visible and update in real-time as the user adjusts their finger, allowing the enrollment action to proceed continuously rather than being paused for text prompts or interruption dialogs.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the disruptive mechanical system of text prompts and interruptions with a seamless visual guidance system. The visual cues are integrated into the enrollment interface and provide continuous guidance without requiring users to stop or switch contexts, maintaining both ease of operation and enrollment efficiency.

AI summary
Embodiments of this application disclose a fingerprint enrollment method and a device, and relate to the field of terminals, to resolve a problem of low fingerprint enrollment quality because more fingerprint information of the user still cannot be collected after a plurality of times of enrolling. A specific solution is: receiving, by a terminal, a first input of a user; in response to the first input, displaying a fingerprint enrollment interface; and displaying at least two fingerprint patterns in the fingerprint enrollment interface, instructing the user to touch a displayed fingerprint pattern, and when the user touches a display position of the fingerprint pattern, enrolling fingerprint information of the user, where each of the at least two fingerprint patterns at least partially overlaps a fingerprint collection area of the touchscreen, and different fingerprint patterns have different overlapping areas with the fingerprint collection area.
