Abstract: Disclosed are a fingerprint detection device and a mobile terminal. The fingerprint detection apparatus comprises a capacitive fingerprint sensor and a capacitive touch control chip which is electrically connected to the capacitive fingerprint sensor; wherein the capacitive fingerprint sensor is configured to collect fingerprint information and convert the fingerprint information to an analog signal; and the capacitive touch control chip is configured to convert the analog signal to a digital signal, and generate fingerprint image information according to the digital signal. As compared with the dedicated control chip in the related art, the capacitive touch control chip has mature design and manufacture technique, and thus the manufacture and application costs are lower.

Abstract: A method for maintaining a switch. The method includes identifying a first phase to enter in a boot-up process for the switch, where the boot-up process includes a number of phases and the first phase is one of the phases. The method further includes determining a phase exit condition from a first snapshot of the switch, where the first snapshot includes state information for each of the of phases. The method further includes transitioning to the first phase and after transitioning to the first phase: starting a first countdown timer for the first phase, and executing, on the switch, a first networking protocol for the first phase. The method further includes determining, in response to the executing, that a first current state of the switch satisfies the phase exit condition, and exiting the first phase, where the first countdown timer is not expired when exiting the first phase.
