Patent number: 11328528Abstract: A smart card with a fingerprint sensing system, includes a controller and a fingerprint sensing device. When the fingerprint sensing device senses a fingerprint to generate a fingerprint frame data, the controller enters a sleep mode, and when the controller reads the fingerprint frame data, the fingerprint sensing device stops sensing the fingerprint. Since operations of sensing the fingerprint and reading the fingerprint frame data do not occur at the same time, the high current condition can be avoided so as to decrease power consumption.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2020Date of Patent: May 10, 2022Assignee: ELAN MICROELECTRONICS CORPORATIONInventors: I-Hau Yeh, Kuo-Lung Yen, Ta-Huang Liu, Ming-Ho Wang
