The use of a camera to sense the three-dimensional (3D) location or motion of the object may enable use of above-the-surface gestures, entry of directionality, and capture of real objects into a document being processed or stored by the electronic device. One or more objects may be used to manipulate elements displayed by the portable electronic device.

  • Patent number: 12067917
    Abstract: A method for driving a display device is performed by the display device. The method includes: displaying a first image including user convenience information through a display panel; generating sensing data corresponding to a fingerprint sensing area by using a photoelectric sensor; and determining whether a sensed fingerprint corresponding to the sensing data is a fake fingerprint by comparing expected sensing light illuminance information based on the first image with sensed light illuminance information of the sensing data. The first image includes a first color pattern in the fingerprint sensing area of the display panel. A fake-determination image pattern includes the first color pattern and a second color pattern different from the first color pattern.

  • Patent number: 12051267
    Abstract: A method may involve obtaining a latent fingerprint on a surface, storing the latent fingerprint, obtaining a live fingerprint on the surface, and authenticating the live fingerprint based in part on the stored latent fingerprint and in part on previously-authenticated fingerprint data. The method may involve rejecting authentication of the live fingerprint as a potential spoof, if the live fingerprint matches the latent fingerprint under a relatively strict correlation test. The method may also involve, when the live fingerprint doesn't closely match the latent fingerprint, granting authentication of the live fingerprint if the live fingerprint matches the previously-authenticated fingerprint data under a relatively loose correlation test.

  • Patent number: 12052062
    Abstract: The present invention improves efficiency of operator's work by automating template registration of an unregistered transmission apparatus. A transmission apparatus recognition apparatus includes a receiving unit, a recognition unit, and a template feature registration unit. The receiving unit receives a signal wirelessly transmitted from a transmission apparatus. The recognition unit calculates a degree of similarity between a sample feature generated from a received signal received by the receiving unit and template features registered in advance, compares the degree of similarity with recognition threshold value, and thereby recognizes the transmission apparatus. The template feature registration unit generates a template feature from a sample feature that failed to be recognized by the recognition unit.

  • Patent number: 12039707
    Abstract: Some disclosed methods involve controlling a fingerprint sensor system to scan a portion of a user's digit and obtaining fingerprint image data corresponding to the portion of the user's digit. Some such methods involve obtaining defect data identifying one or more defective areas corresponding to an active fingerprint sensor area and determining whether the defect data indicates one or more defective areas corresponding to a touched portion of the active fingerprint sensor area from which the fingerprint image data were obtained. Some such methods involve determining, responsive to determining that the defect data indicates one or more defective areas corresponding to the touched portion, whether fingerprint image data corresponding to the one or more defective areas can be rectified and, responsive to determining that the fingerprint image data can be rectified, rectifying the fingerprint image data corresponding to the one or more defective areas.

Some disclosed methods involve estimating, based at least in part on the current A-line data, the previously-obtained A-line data, the current ultrasonic fingerprint image data and the previously-obtained ultrasonic fingerprint image data, whether the target object is a finger of the authorized user. The estimation may involve an anti-spoofing process based at least in part on the current A-line data and the previously-obtained A-line data.

  • Patent number: 12033423
    Abstract: Aspects of this disclosure relate to a biometric sensing device that combines sensing with an actuator for two way communication between a finger on a surface and the device. The sensor can also function as an actuator. A finger can be authenticated based on an image of the finger generated by the sensor and also based on a response to energy delivered to the finger by the actuator. Two way communication can provide more robust authentication than fingerprint sensing alone.
