Integrated Fingerprint Power Button for Single-Step Terminal Startup
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional fingerprint authentication methods for terminal devices require multiple operations, such as pressing the power button and fingerprint sensor, which reduces power-on efficiency and user experience.
Innovation Solution
A method where a fingerprint device and power button are integrated at the same position, allowing a user to initiate the operating system by performing a single fingerprint input operation, with timers managing data collection and verification to streamline the power-on process.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the fingerprint device and power button are integrated at the same position, then the power-on efficiency and user convenience are improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates the fingerprint device and power button at the same position, allowing a single pressing operation to simultaneously trigger both power-on and fingerprint authentication functions. This merging of functions eliminates the need for separate operations, improving power-on efficiency while the integrated design manages complexity through unified hardware architecture.
2Ease of operation
If a single fingerprint input operation triggers both power-on and login, then the ease of operation is improved, but the reliability of authentication may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary detection to determine the user's intent before executing the power-on and authentication sequence. By detecting whether the user intends to power on the device or perform authentication first, the system can reliably distinguish between different operational modes while maintaining the convenience of a single pressing location, thus preserving authentication reliability.

AI summary
Provided are a power-on processing method and apparatus of a terminal device, and a terminal device, and the method includes: detecting whether a fingerprint input operation is performed on the fingerprint device, in a case that the operating system of the terminal device is in a non-working state (210); controlling the fingerprint device to collect fingerprint data corresponding to the fingerprint input operation when it is detected that the fingerprint input operation is performed on the fingerprint device (220); detecting whether the fingerprint input operation triggers the power button, in a case that it is detected that the fingerprint input operation is performed on the fingerprint device (230); and transmitting the fingerprint data collected by the fingerprint device to the operating system for security verification, in a case that it is detected that the fingerprint input operation triggers the power button (240). According to the method, the apparatus and the terminal device, in a power-on process of the terminal device, the operating system of the terminal device may be accessed by the user performing the fingerprint input operation only once, which is beneficial for improving user experience.
