An electronic device and method are disclosed herein. The electronic device includes a display, a fingerprint recognition sensor configured to recognize a fingerprint received through the display, and a processor. The processor is configured to implement the method, which includes detecting a fingerprint using a fingerprint recognition sensor of the electronic device through a display of the electronic device; and controlling the display to display at least one object based on the fingerprint.

Method of processing fingerprint and electronic device thereof

Disclosed is an electronic device including a display, a touch recognition sensor that recognizes a touch input on the display; a fingerprint recognition sensor that recognizes a fingerprint input on the display, and a processor coupled to the display, the touch recognition sensor, and the fingerprint recognition sensor, wherein the processor is configured to activate the touch recognition sensor, display at least one user interface that receives the fingerprint input on a fingerprint recognition area of the display, activate at least a portion of the fingerprint recognition sensor, and selectively deactivate a portion of the touch recognition sensor corresponding to the activated portion of the fingerprint recognition sensor.

Electronic device with touch sensor and driving method therefor

A method for position measurement of a portable electronic device is provided. The method includes receiving, from a first satellite, first satellite information and state information of the first satellite information, receiving other state information of the first satellite information from a server that receives the other state information of the first satellite information from a terrestrial observatory, and using the first satellite information for the position measurement of the portable electronic device when the state information of the first satellite information received from the first satellite is unhealthy and the other state information of the first satellite information received from the server is healthy, wherein healthy state information indicates that satellite information may be used for the position measurement of the portable electronic device and unhealthy state information indicates that the satellite information may not be used for the position measurement of the portable electronic device.

Method and apparatus for position measuring of portable electronic device

Provided is a method for authenticating a user in an electronic device. In illustrative embodiments, a fingerprint input from the user is be detected by receiving detection signals for respective sample points across an area of the fingerprint input. A determination value may be computed, which represents a degree of distribution of the detection signals according to signal strengths. It is then determined whether the determination value falls outside a preset reference range. If the determination value falls outside the preset reference range, the method determines that the fingerprint input from the user is invalid.

Authenticating a user through fingerprint recognition

An electronic device having a fingerprint verification function is provided. The electronic device includes a display; a touch recognition sensor pattern for recognizing a touch input on the display; a fingerprint recognition sensor pattern for recognizing a fingerprint input on the display; and a processor functionally connected to the display, the touch recognition sensor pattern and the fingerprint recognition sensor pattern. The processor determines whether a fingerprint recognition mode is executed, and selectively activates the touch recognition sensor pattern and the fingerprint recognition sensor pattern according to whether the determined fingerprint recognition mode is executed.

A electronic device and method are disclosed herein. The electronic device includes a display, a fingerprint recognition sensor configured to recognize a fingerprint received through the display, and a processor. The processor is configured to implement the method, which includes detecting a fingerprint using a fingerprint recognition sensor of the electronic device through a display of the electronic device; and controlling the display to display at least one object based on the fingerprint.

An apparatus and a method for measuring an altitude of a terminal which can correct an altitude error according to temporal and spatial changes are provided. The apparatus includes an atmospheric pressure measuring unit for measuring an atmospheric pressure from a barometer included in the terminal, a position determiner for measuring position information of the terminal, and a controller for, when a reference atmospheric pressure reception period is not generated, predicting a current reference atmospheric pressure by using previously received reference atmospheric pressures and measuring a current altitude by using the predicted reference atmospheric pressure and the measured atmospheric pressure.

Apparatus and method for measuring altitude of terminal

A method of operating an electronic device is provided. The method includes detecting a plurality of fingerprint drags after a touch on a portion of the electronic device, wherein each of the plurality of fingerprint drags is a consecutive drag from a previous drag and each of the plurality of fingerprint drags has a different orientation from each other; and identifying a fingerprint based on a plurality of images acquired from the plurality of fingerprint drags, wherein each of the plurality of images is compared with corresponding portion of a reference image.

Fingerprint identifying method and electronic device thereof

A method for operating an electronic device including a first sensor is provided, the method including: obtaining a first reading from the first sensor; detecting a state of the electronic device; and adjusting the first reading based on the state the electronic device to generate an adjusted reading; and performing, by the electronic device, an action based on the adjusted reading; wherein the first sensor includes at least one of a temperature sensor and a humidity sensor.

Method for processing data and electronic device thereof

An apparatus for acquiring a position of a portable terminal includes a position estimating unit for estimating a position of a portable terminal based on prestored reference information, and a control unit for detecting&#x2014;the position of the portable terminal using information from a server, wherein when there is a failure to acquire the position information of the portable terminal using the information from the server, the position estimating unit acquires the position of the portable terminal based on the estimated position of the portable terminal.

Apparatus and method for acquiring the position of a portable terminal

Provided is a system and method for transmitting a satellite state to a satellite receiver to determine use or non-use of a satellite signal in positioning estimation. A satellite navigation system includes at least one satellite, a satellite control center for controlling the at least one satellite, and a server. The server transmits satellite state information about the at least one satellite identified through the satellite control center to the satellite receiver. The satellite receiver restricts the use of the satellite signal for positioning estimation when the satellite state is identified as erroneous.

Satellite receiver and system employing server for identifying satellite state

A method of improving the reception performance of a network-aided GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver is disclosed. It is determined whether the present time is feasible for TLM/HOW coherent integration, based on present CDMA/GPS information. When the TLM/HOW coherent integration is immediately available, a GPS signal acquisition search is performed using the TLM/HOW coherent integration. Then, it is determined whether the signal acquisition search is successful. If the signal acquisition search has failed, then there is a request for navigation data bits to a base station, which increases a coherent integration period.
