  • Fingerprint scans with power buttons
    Patent number: 9836592
    Abstract: Example implementations relate to fingerprint scans with power buttons. For example, a computing device may include a power button and a processor. The power button receives a user input associated with an activation of the power button to turn on the computing device and scans a fingerprint associated with the user input while the computing device is initialized in response to the activation. The processor determines whether the fingerprint matches an authorized fingerprint from a database of stored fingerprints, identifies an account associated with the fingerprint when the fingerprint matches the authorized fingerprint, and provides a desktop environment associated with the account.
