Patent number: 11695865Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to control of a user device under a wet condition. In some aspects, a user device may determine whether the user device is operating under a wet condition; select, based at least in part on whether the user device is operating under the wet condition, a set of input components to control the user device, wherein the set of input components is selected from a plurality of different sets of input components; and configure a user interface of the user device according to the set of input components. Numerous other aspects are provided.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2022Date of Patent: July 4, 2023Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Sandeep Louis D'Souza, Vadim Winebrand, Mohamed Ahmed, Syed Fawad Ahmad, Nathan Felix Altman, Suhail Jalil, Livingstone Song, Raj Kumar, David Chandler, Masoud Roham, Xin Fan, Lennart Karl-Axel Mathe, Kostadin Dimitrov Djordjev, Deep Bhatia

Publication number: 20210232801Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a device may receive, from a fingerprint scanner, fingerprint scan data associated with an image that depicts a scanned fingerprint of a user; process, using a model-based iterative reconstruction (MBIR) model, the fingerprint scan data to generate an enhanced image associated with the image; and perform, based at least in part on the enhanced image, a match analysis to authenticate the user. Numerous other aspects are provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 5, 2020Publication date: July 29, 2021Inventors: Hasib SIDDIQUI, Nathan Felix ALTMAN, Kwokleung CHAN

Patent number: 10733409Abstract: Systems, methods and apparatus for configuring a fingerprint sensor to operate in a capacitive sensing mode and an ultrasonic sensing mode are disclosed. A fingerprint sensor may be configured to operate in a capacitive sensing mode by driving a sensing electrode using a controller. In some implementations, an object positioned on or near the sensing electrode may be detected using the fingerprint sensor in the capacitive sensing mode, and the controller can drive electrodes of the fingerprint sensor differently to configure the fingerprint sensor to operate in an ultrasonic sensing mode. In some implementations, an applications processor may be instructed to authenticate a fingerprint of the object from image data obtained when the fingerprint sensor is operating in the ultrasonic sensing mode. In some implementations, a display of a mobile device containing the fingerprint sensor may be unlocked, or the mobile device may be woken up when the fingerprint is authenticated.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2018Date of Patent: August 4, 2020Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Sandeep Louis D'Souza, Vadim Winebrand, Ashish Hinger, Paul Penchin Pan, Meir Agassy, Yizhaq Abudi, Micah Timothy Lawrence, Jong Soo Kim, Sherman Sebastian Antao, Bo-Ren Wang, Masoud Roham, Lennart Karl Mathe, Nathan Felix Altman, Suryaprakash Ganti, David William Burns
