  • Publication number: 20240154960
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a terminal device and a cloud comparison method. The terminal device includes a storage device, a fingerprint sensor, and a fingerprint matching module. The storage device records a fingerprint template database, and the fingerprint sensor senses fingerprint data to be verified. The fingerprint matching module is coupled to the storage device and the fingerprint sensor, and compares the fingerprint data to be verified with the fingerprint template data in the fingerprint template database. In response to the fact that the fingerprint data to be verified does not match the fingerprint template data in the fingerprint template database, the terminal device uploads the fingerprint data to be verified to a server device via the network, and receives a verification result of the fingerprint data to be verified from the server device.
