  • Systems and Methods for Fingerprint-Based Operations
    Publication number: 20130173925
    Abstract: A method for operating a system based on fingerprint scanning inputs includes receiving, by a fingerprint sensor, a fingerprint input and providing, from a processor coupled with the fingerprint sensor, fingerprint feature data representing features of the fingerprint input. The method also includes executing a first command, by the processor, if comparing the fingerprint feature data with at least a portion of stored fingerprint data results in a first match reflecting that the fingerprint input occurred in a first direction and executing a second command that is different from the first command, by the processor, if comparing the fingerprint feature data with the at least a portion of the stored fingerprint data results in a second match reflecting that the fingerprint input occurred in a second direction.
