Abstract: A method and apparatus with fingerprint verification are disclosed. A processor implemented method includes obtaining a query fingerprint image through a fingerprint sensor, obtaining a processed fingerprint image by performing image processing on the obtained query fingerprint image, obtaining a blended fingerprint image by blending the query fingerprint image and the processed fingerprint image, and performing fingerprint verification based on the blended fingerprint image and a registered fingerprint image.

Abstract: An alarm unit includes an apparatus and a method of maximizing the efficiency of an alarm function that wakes up a sleeping user. An image input unit capable of photographing an eye image as a criterion for determining if the user has woken up is mounted on an alarm control apparatus. The image input unit mounted alarm control apparatus photographs a face image of the user, detects the eye region from the face image, and then determines a state of whether the user has woken up or not based on movement of the pupils in the eye region. If it is determined that the user keeps a waking state for a certain time, an alarm function is cancelled. By doing this, the alarm unit can help prevent the user from easily cancelling an alarm and maximize the efficiency of an alarm function that wakes up a sleeping user.

The electronic device displays the time information and contact information corresponding to the external electronic device in response to a request.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing an isolation structure includes forming a laminate structure on a substrate. A plurality trenches is formed in the laminate structure. Subsequently a pre-processing is effected to form a hydrophilic thin film having oxygen ions on the inner wall of the trenches. Spin-on-dielectric (SOD) materials are filled into the trenches. The hydrophilic think film having oxygen ions changes the surface tension of the inner wall of the trenches and increases SOD material fluidity.
