Integrated Power Button Biometric Authentication
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional fingerprint-based authentication methods on laptops require users to perform multiple button presses, reducing start efficiency and degrading user experience.
Innovation Solution
A one-button power-on method where a biometric feature identification module, integrated with the power button, acquires biometric data upon a single press, determining if it triggers the terminal's power-on and sending the data to the operating system for authentication.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the fingerprint feature identification module is arranged separately from the power button, then the authentication security is ensured, but the user needs to perform multiple press operations which reduces start efficiency
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the fingerprint feature identification module with the power button into a single integrated component. This merging allows the user to perform both power-on and fingerprint authentication simultaneously with a single press operation, eliminating the need for separate button presses and thereby improving start efficiency while maintaining authentication security.
Solution Approach 2:
The integrated power button incorporates multiple functions: it serves as both the power switch and the fingerprint authentication sensor. This multi-functional design enables the single component to perform both system power control and user identification tasks, reducing the total number of operations required while preserving security protocols.
2Ease of operation
If the fingerprint feature identification module is integrated with the power button, then the number of operations is reduced to one press, but the module arrangement complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
By merging the fingerprint sensor and power button into a single integrated module, the patent reduces operational steps to one press while consolidating the structural complexity into a single component unit. This integration simplifies the overall system architecture by reducing the number of separate components and their interconnections.
3Ease of manufacture
If conventional separate button arrangement is used, then the manufacturing process is simplified, but the user experience is degraded due to multiple required press operations
Solution Approach 1:
The integration of the fingerprint sensor with the power button creates a unified component that can be manufactured as a single assembly, reducing the number of separate manufacturing steps and component assembly operations. This merging maintains manufacturing feasibility while significantly improving user experience by enabling single-press power-on and authentication.

AI summary
A one-button power-on processing method and a terminal thereof are provided. The method includes: judging whether pressing a power button at a current time triggers one-button power-on of a terminal when it is detected that the power button is pressed at the current time; and sending the biometric feature data acquired by the biometric feature identification module to an operating system of the terminal for one-button power-on processing if pressing the power button at the current time triggers one-button power-on of the terminal. In this way, the terminal is powered on by a user by performing the press operation once. This enhances convenience, and effectively improves user experience of the terminal.
