Under-Screen Fingerprint Recognition With Local Brightness Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
High power consumption in fingerprint recognition of mobile terminals due to the need for high screen brightness, which reduces battery life.
Innovation Solution
Control the brightness of the touch area on the screen to a preset value for fingerprint authentication while keeping other areas at a lower brightness, using a fingerprint recognition module to collect and recognize fingerprint information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the brightness of the entire screen is increased to improve fingerprint recognition rate, then the fingerprint recognition rate is improved, but the power consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by illuminating only the touch area (where the finger is placed) with high brightness while keeping other areas of the screen at lower brightness. This localized illumination approach ensures sufficient light for fingerprint recognition in the critical area while minimizing overall power consumption of the display screen.
2Reliability
If the brightness of the entire screen is increased to improve fingerprint recognition rate, then the fingerprint recognition rate is improved, but the battery life is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements local quality by controlling the display screen to provide high brightness only in the touch area where fingerprint recognition is needed, while other areas maintain lower brightness. This significantly reduces the total energy consumption of the display, thereby extending battery life while ensuring adequate illumination for accurate fingerprint recognition.
3Use of energy by moving object
If the brightness of the touch area is controlled to a preset value for fingerprint authentication, then the power consumption is reduced, but the fingerprint recognition rate may be affected
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by dynamically adjusting the brightness parameter of the display screen based on the touch area detection. The system sets the brightness of the touch area to a preset value that is optimized for fingerprint recognition, ensuring sufficient illumination while minimizing power consumption. This parameter optimization resolves the contradiction between power savings and recognition accuracy.

AI summary
A fingerprint recognition method and a mobile terminal are provided. The method includes: recognizing, if a touch operation on a screen of the mobile terminal is detected, a touch area, on which the touch operation is performed, of the screen of the mobile terminal (101); controlling, if it is detected that the mobile terminal is in a state for fingerprint authentication, a brightness value of the touch area to be greater than or equal to a first preset brightness value, and a brightness value of a display area other than the touch area of the screen of the mobile terminal to be less than the first preset brightness value (102); and collecting and recognizing fingerprint information of the touch area by using a fingerprint recognition module (103).
