The fingerprint recognition device 105 is configured to detect the fingerprint position and the fingerprint image that the user acts on the device. The display device 103 and the voice device 104 are not necessarily equipped at the same time, but are provided according to the needs of the invention. For example, in the embodiment in which the fingerprint position or fingerprint image is not used to sound, the voice device 104 may not be provided. Further, the fingerprint recognition device may be separately provided or integrated in other devices such as the display device 103, for example, for a mobile communication terminal or a flat panel display device using a touch screen, the fingerprint recognition device may be integrated in the touch screen. The hardware operating environment can also include a transceiver 106 configured to transmit data over a communication network, which can be a wired network or a wireless network. Wherein, in an embodiment that does not require network communication, the transceiver 106 may not be provided. The operating environment may also include other external devices.

The above hardware operating environment can be set in the terminal device. In the present specification, "terminal device" refers to a device that is used by a user and that includes a fingerprint operation function, such as a mobile communication terminal, a mobile computer, a tablet computer, a fixed terminal, and the like. The terminal device may be a device or a collection of several devices, for example, when the control device is separated from the display device, the terminal device refers to a collection of both the control device and the display device. At present, the terminal device is mainly based on electronic technology, but is not limited thereto, and the device implemented by other technologies for use by the user for security identification also belongs to the “terminal device” referred to in the present specification.

Please refer to FIG. 2. FIG. 2 is a schematic flow chart of a fingerprint operation method according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, it mainly includes steps S201-S202:

Step S201, detecting a fingerprint position acting on the touch device. The touch device applied by the user in this step may be a button disposed on one side of the mobile phone, the face includes but is not limited to the front face, and the button includes but is not limited to return to the main menu button (Home button); Other touch devices equipped with sensors can be located on the front of the device or on the opposite side or side of the device. At the same time, the method for detecting the position of the fingerprint applied to the touch device in this step may be an optical detection method, or a capacitance recognition generally used at present, and the capacitance sensor is used to sense a small conductivity change of the finger surface. The position of the fingerprint on the touch device is thus detected.

In particular, it is worth noting that the method of detecting the position of the fingerprint on the touch device of the device in this step is not limited to the above-mentioned optical method detection or capacitance method detection, and includes other known fingers. The position detection method and the fingerprint position detection method that may appear in the future.

Step S202, displaying an indication point corresponding to the fingerprint position in a predetermined area. The predetermined area may be a screen of the terminal device and any display device, such as an image display area when holographic projection technology is employed, and may not be limited to the display positions listed above. The indication points displayed in the predetermined area may be different colors or shapes, and may be adjusted according to actual operations. This step determines the position of the indication point mainly based on the touch position detected on the touch device.

Please refer to FIG. 3. FIG. 3 is a schematic flowchart of a fingerprint operation method according to another embodiment of the present invention. It mainly includes steps S301-S304:

Step S301, detecting a fingerprint position acting on the touch device. The touch device used by the user in this step may be the front Home button of the mobile phone, or other touch device equipped with a Sensor on the device, which may be located on the front side of the device or on the opposite side or side of the device. At the same time, the method detected in this step may be an optical detection method, or a capacitance identification commonly used at present, and a capacitive sensor is used to sense a small conductivity change of a finger surface. The position of the fingerprint on the touch device is thus detected.

In particular, it is worth noting that the method for detecting the position of the fingerprint on the touch device of the device in this step is not limited to the optical method detection or the capacitance method detection mentioned above, and includes other known fingerprint position detection methods and fingerprints that may appear in the future. Location detection method.

Step S302, the touch position is used as a reference point. For example, when the user's finger touches the touch device, the center point of the image is determined based on the upper, lower, left, and right vertices of the detected fingerprint image, and the center point of the image is used as a reference point. It should be noted that the manner of determining the reference point is not limited to the above one.

Step S303, using the coordinates of the reference point, determining display coordinates of the indication point displayed in the predetermined area and displaying the indication point. In this step, the coordinates of the indication points of the predetermined area are determined according to the coordinates of the fingerprint reference point position. For example, a mobile phone touch device has the same shape as a screen. The length of the mobile phone touch device is a, the length of the mobile phone screen is A, the width of the mobile phone touch device is b, and the length of the mobile phone screen is B. The positional relationship between the touch position reference point detected by the mobile phone touch device and the indication point on the screen of the mobile phone is set to be in the same direction and moved in the same proportion. The reference point is at the center of the touch device (0,0), then an indication point appears at the center position (0,0) of the phone screen. According to this principle, when the fingerprint moves, the indication point moves correspondingly on the screen. It should be noted that the reference point corresponds to the coordinate point on the screen. The relationship is not limited to the rules listed in this example.

Step S304, detecting a fingerprint image acting on the touch device. The touch device used by the user in this step may be the front Home button of the mobile phone, or other touch device equipped with a Sensor on the device, which may be located on the front side of the device or on the opposite side or side of the device. At the same time, the method detected in this step may be an optical detection method, or a capacitance identification commonly used at present, and a capacitive sensor is used to sense a small conductivity change of a finger surface. Since the outermost layer of the finger skin, that is, the fingerprint layer, is not electrically conductive, the subcutaneous layer inside the fingerprint is electrically conductive. When the user presses the finger on the touch device, it measures a very small change in conductivity caused by the fingerprint, and then uses the measured data to form an image - an image of the fingerprint. Fingerprint information acting on the touch device of the device is thereby detected.

It is particularly worthy to note that the method for detecting fingerprint information applied to the touch device of the device in this step is not limited to the optical method detection or the capacitance method detection mentioned above, and includes other known fingerprint information detection methods and fingerprints that may appear in the future. Information detection method.

Step S305, acquiring an operation command corresponding to the fingerprint image. When the fingerprint image acting on the touch device is detected, the detected fingerprint image is matched with the fingerprint image preset by the device. It should be added here that the preset fingerprint image is the fingerprint of the user's different fingers. It can be one or more than one. And each fingerprint image corresponds to a different operation command. For example, the function of the index finger image corresponding to the click is defined, the function of the middle finger fingerprint image corresponding to the long press is defined, and the function corresponding to the return of the thumb fingerprint image is defined. In order to improve the convenience of operation, different matching values can be set when the fingerprint images are matched, for example, when the contrast degree of the fingerprint image reaches 80%, the operation command can be matched and acquired.

In addition, the acquiring an operation command corresponding to the fingerprint image includes: acquiring an operation command corresponding to the fingerprint image according to the location of the indication point. That is, the fingerprint image at the position of the indication point is acquired, and the fingerprint image is matched with the preset fingerprint image. When the fingerprint image and the preset fingerprint image are successfully matched, the preset matching is successfully obtained. The operation instruction corresponding to the fingerprint image is an operation command corresponding to the fingerprint image at the indication point.

Step S306, executing the operation command. After obtaining an operation command corresponding to the matched fingerprint image, the operation command can be executed. For example, the middle finger fingerprint image is defined to correspond to a long press operation command, the fingerprint moves on the fingerprint device, and after moving to the destination point on the screen of the mobile phone, the middle finger is loaded by the device. The indication point corresponds to an operation command corresponding to the corresponding fingerprint image. For example, define a small finger fingerprint image corresponding to the returned operation command. At each interface of the mobile phone screen, the device touches the device with the little finger, and the mobile phone screen returns from the current interface to the previous interface. For example, an operation command for defining a Home key corresponding to a ring finger fingerprint image is defined. In each interface of the mobile phone screen, press the mobile phone touch device with the ring finger, and the current interface of the mobile phone screen will return to the main interface of the mobile phone.

Please refer to FIG. 4. FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of an operation command corresponding to a fingerprint image according to another embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, fingerprint images on different fingers of the user can be set with different corresponding operation commands. For example, open a web page, delete a text message, pay a quick payment, return to the main menu, and so on. Through such an arrangement, the operation steps are greatly simplified, and the operation efficiency is greatly improved.

Please refer to FIG. 5. FIG. 5 is a schematic structural diagram of a fingerprint operating device according to still another embodiment of the present invention. As shown, the device mainly includes:

The position detecting module 501 is configured to detect a fingerprint position acting on the touch device. The module can be, but is not limited to, using an optical method or a capacitive method to detect fingerprint information of the user. The touch device applied by the user in this step may be a button disposed on one side of the mobile phone, the face includes but is not limited to the front face, and the button includes but is not limited to return to the main menu button (Home button); Other touch devices equipped with sensors can be located on the front of the device or on the opposite side or side of the device. At the same time, the method for detecting the position of the fingerprint applied to the touch device in this step may be an optical detection method, or a capacitance recognition generally used at present, and the capacitance sensor is used to sense a small conductivity change of the finger surface. The position of the fingerprint on the touch device is thus detected.

The predetermined area may be a screen of the terminal device, any display device, or an image display area when, for example, a holographic projection technique is employed, and may not be limited to the display positions listed above. The indication points displayed in the predetermined area may be different colors or shapes, and may be adjusted according to actual operations. This step determines the position of the indication point mainly based on the touch position detected on the touch device.
