  • Patent number: 11194989
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus is provided. The electronic device includes a display, a fingerprint sensor disposed under the display, and a processor electrically connected with the display and the fingerprint sensor. The processor is configured to set a fingerprint sensing region at a location, which corresponds to a location where the fingerprint sensor is disposed, on the display if the electronic apparatus enters a state for registering a fingerprint of a finger, to display a first guide on the display such that the first guide at least partly overlaps the fingerprint sensing region, to obtain first fingerprint information through the fingerprint sensing region if the finger touches the first guide, to display a second guide on the display such that the second guide at least partly overlaps the fingerprint sensing region, and to obtain second fingerprint information through the fingerprint sensing region if the finger touches the second guide.

  • Patent number: 10929632
    Abstract: Methods and electronic devices are provided in which first fingerprint information of a first portion of the user's fingerprint is obtained upon the user's fingerprint contacting the fingerprint sensor. A display object is output within a target area for the fingerprint registration, in response to obtaining the first fingerprint information. A guiding object is output to guide contact of a next portion of the user's fingerprint that is adjacent to the first portion. Next fingerprint information of the next portion of the user's fingerprint is obtained upon the user's fingerprint contacting the fingerprint sensor guided by the guiding object. Upon modifying the display object based on the obtained next fingerprint information, the steps of outputting a guiding object and obtaining a next fingerprint information are repeated until fingerprint information at least partially surrounding the first portion is obtained.

  • Patent number: 9767608
    Abstract: An augmented reality image display system may be implemented together with a surgical robot system. The surgical robot system may include a slave system performing a surgical operation, a master system controlling the surgical operation of the slave system, an imaging system generating a virtual image of the inside of a patient's body, and an augmented reality image display system including a camera capturing a real image having a plurality of markers attached to the patient's body or a human body model. The augmented reality image system may include an augmented reality image generator which detects the plurality of markers in the real image, estimates the position and gaze direction of the camera using the detected markers, and generates an augmented reality image by overlaying a region of the virtual image over the real image, and a display which displays the augmented reality image.
