An electronic device according to various embodiments of the present invention comprises: a touch sensor; a fingerprint sensor that is formed in at least a partial area of the touch sensor and is capable of obtaining fingerprint information about an external object; and a processor, wherein the processor may be configured to: sense the movement of the external object by using the touch sensor while sensing the fingerprint information; when the movement satisfies a first designated condition, perform authentication on the external object by using the fingerprint information; and when the movement satisfies a second designated condition, stop the operation of sensing the fingerprint information and provide information related to the movement.

Electronic device for obtaining fingerprints and control method thereof

The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for processing a distortion of a fingerprint image. An electronic device according to various embodiments of the present invention comprises: a housing; a transparent member which forms at least a part of an outer surface of the electronic device and is arranged in at least a part of the housing; a display () of which at least a part is accommodated in the housing and which is arranged in at least a partial area of the transparent member; a fingerprint sensor formed in at least a partial area of the display; and a processor connected with the display and the fingerprint sensor, wherein the processor can be configured to confirm status information related to contamination of at least a partial area, of the transparent member, corresponding to the fingerprint sensor, by using the fingerprint sensor, to acquire bio-information through at least a partial area, of the transparent member, corresponding to the fingerprint sensor, by using the fingerprint sensor, and to recognize the bio-information on the basis of the status information.

Method and apparatus for processing distortion of fingerprint image

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, an electronic device may comprise a first sensor configured to obtain first biometric information of a first authentication level from a user, a second sensor configured to obtain the first biometric information and/or second biometric information of a second authentication level higher than the first authentication level from the user, a memory configured to store at least one piece of biometric information authenticated in relation with the user, and a processor configured to compare the at least one piece of biometric information with the first biometric information obtained through the first sensor while the electronic device operates in a locked state, to activate a timer to stop input to the first sensor for a designated time when authentication based on the first biometric information fails a designated number of times based on the comparison of the first biometric information, to obtain the second biometric information through the second sensor while the timer is active, and to deactivate the timer when the second biometric information is authenticated based on the at least one piece of biometric information.

Electronic device for performing authentication using multiple authentication means and method for operating the same

An electronic device and a method that may provide security using complex biometric information are provided. The electronic device includes a sensor module configured to sense two or more pieces of biometric information and a controller configured to execute a command corresponding to biometric combination information when the biometric combination information corresponding to the two or more pieces of biometric information sensed through the sensor module exist. As described above, through use of the complex biometric information combined of two or more pieces of biometric information, more strengthened security may be provided to various objects in the electronic device.
