Abstract: A control panel for controlling an information processing system is provided. The control panel is an integral device and is capable of being integrated with the information processing system. The control panel includes a plurality of capacitive touch buttons assembled in a printed circuit board assembly, a fingerprint sensor assembled in the printed circuit assembly, at least a status indicator configured for showing the status of the capacitive touch buttons, a connector interface, a touch sensing processor, and a fingerprint sensing processor. The touch sensing processor is electrically connected to the capacitive touch buttons, the at least one status indicator, and the connector interface. The fingerprint sensing processor is electrically connected to the fingerprint sensor and the connector interface.

Abstract: A financial transaction card includes a housing, a flexible printed circuit board, an integrated circuit and an interface module. The housing includes a substrate and a cover. The flexible printed circuit board is disposed between the cover and the substrate. The integrated circuit is configured for driving the flexible printed circuit board to operate as a sensing device. The sensing device includes a fingerprint scanning module and a keyboard module. The interface module is electrically connected to the flexible printed circuit board and configured for electrically connecting the financial transaction card to an external device.

Abstract: A computer mouse includes a housing having hollow for receiving a finger of a user, a control module inside the housing for detecting signals and controlling transmissions of the signals, and a fingerprint scanning module coupled to the control module for detecting fingerprints and transmitting fingerprint signals to the control module. The fingerprint scanning module includes a fingerprint scanner positioned in the hollow of the housing. A side view of the hollow may be close loop shaped, such as D-shaped, or open loop shaped, such as C-shaped.
