  • Method and electronic device for determining moving direction of a finger
    Patent number: 10489920
    Abstract: A method for determining the moving direction of a finger includes: sensing a fingerprint of the finger to generate a first frame at a first sampling time point, wherein the first frame includes a plurality of first blocks; sensing the fingerprint to generate a second frame at a second sampling time point, wherein the second frame includes a plurality of second blocks, wherein each of the second blocks corresponds to one of the first blocks; comparing each of the first blocks with its corresponding second block to obtain moving information of such second block; and determining the moving direction of the finger according to moving information of all of the second blocks.
