Abstract: For performing a function of an electronic device in response to a target fingerprint, methods and apparatus are disclosed. The method includes acquiring a target fingerprint on the electronic device. The method also includes determining whether a target application identifier and a target operation identifier correspond to the target fingerprint. The method further includes utilizing a target application indicated by the target application identifier to execute, automatically, a target function indicated by the target operation identifier in response to a target application identifier and a target operation identifier corresponding to the target fingerprint.

Abstract: The present invention provides an electronic device and a method for adjusting a touch-control area thereof. The touch-control area of a touch-control display unit of the electronic device has a first touch-control area. The method for adjusting a touch-control area includes receiving a touch-control area adjustment command; adjusting the touch-control area of the electronic device to a second touch-control area in response to the touch-control area adjustment command; and displaying a tag used for representing the second touch-control area; wherein, when an input from the second touch-control area is received, an operation corresponding to the input is executed; when an input from outside of the second touch-control area is received, an operation corresponding to the input is not executed.

Abstract: The present embodiments provide a biometric authentication method and electronic device. A proper authentication template can be selected during the acquisition of biometric information based on the environment information thereof to authenticate the acquired biometric information, so as to enhance the effectiveness of authentication processing. The biometric authentication method comprises the steps of: acquiring biometric information of a body part in an acquisition area of a biometric acquisition module; acquiring environment information at the acquisition area of the biometric acquisition module; determining an authentication template corresponding to the environment information based on the environment information; and authenticating the biometric information based on the authentication template corresponding to the environment information.

Abstract: A computer startup method, a startup apparatus, a state transition method, and a state transition apparatus are described. When the computer is in a suspend-to-RAM (STR) state, the power consumption is a first power consumption. When the computer transitions from the suspend-to-disk (STD) state to the startup state, the time consumption is a first time consumption. The state transition method includes, when the computer is in the startup state, obtaining a first power state transition command to instruct the computer to transition from the startup state to a specific state; and to respond to the first power state transition command, making the computer to be in the specific state.

Abstract: An embodiment of the present disclosure discloses an information processing method and an electronic device. The method comprises: a fingerprint service entering a stage of verifying the fingerprint, when an electronic device enters a stage of inputting a fingerprint, so that a fingerprint texture collected by a collecting region in an input surface of a key of the electronic device is capable of being verified; the fingerprint service setting a flag bit; a keystroke service obtaining the flag bit when the key is pressed; disabling a corresponding operation instruction by the keystroke service in response to the pressing of the key based on the flag bit; collecting the fingerprint texture by the collection region in the input surface of the key when the key is pressed, and the fingerprint service verifying the fingerprint based on the fingerprint texture.

Abstract: The present invention discloses an information processing device and the switching method for the password input mode thereof. The information processing device includes a usage scene monitoring unit configured to monitor the usage scene or the usage environment of the information processing device and a password input switching unit, configured to judge the usage scene or the usage environment of the information processing device 1 based on the output of the usage scene monitoring unit and to determine whether the password input mode should be switched based on the judgment result.

Abstract: A method for automatic control is provided, which is applied to an electronic apparatus including a first controller, a second controller, a first input apparatus and a first display unit. The first input apparatus is rotatablely connected to the first display unit. When the electronic apparatus is in a sleeping state, the second controller is in a sleeping state and the first controller is in an operating state. The method includes: obtaining a first angle between the first input apparatus and the first display unit in the case that the electronic apparatus is in the sleeping state; determining whether the first angle satisfies a first preset condition; and controlling the first input apparatus to be in a turn-off state by the first controller in the case that the first angle satisfies a first preset condition.
