Provided is an electronic device. The electronic device may include a display, a fingerprint sensor provided in an area of the display, and at least one processor. The at least one processor may receive a user input for fingerprint registration, based on the user input, control the display to display a first user interface displaying information to guide a position for a touch input based on a position of the fingerprint sensor at a first position on the display, and based on receiving a first touch on the first user interface, control the display to display a second user interface indicating a degree of a fingerprint recognition related to the first touch.

Electronic device guiding user touch input and method for controlling the same

An electronic device and method are disclosed. The electronic device includes a display, a touch sensor, a fingerprint recognition sensor disposed under the display, and a processor. The processor implements the method, including: detecting a user input to a fingerprint recognition region on the display that corresponds to a location of the fingerprint recognition sensor, using the touch sensor, executing fingerprint recognition on the user input using the fingerprint recognition sensor, and displaying a graphical effect on the display related to the user input while executing the fingerprint recognition.

Device and method for providing feedback for user input in electronic device

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a memory storing first authenticated fingerprint information, and a processor configured to obtain first fingerprint information corresponding to a first input, compare the first fingerprint information with the first authenticated fingerprint information during a first user authentication, perform a designated function when the first authenticated fingerprint information belongs to a first reference, temporarily store the first fingerprint information when the first authenticated fingerprint information belongs to a second reference, obtain second fingerprint information corresponding to a second input during a second user authentication, compare the second fingerprint information with the first authenticated fingerprint information during the second user authentication when the second input satisfies a designated reference in relation to the first input, store the temporarily stored first fingerprint information as second authenticated fingerprint information when the second authenticated fingerprint information belongs to the first reference, and perform the designated function.

Electronic device and method for storing fingerprint information

Disclosed herein are an electronic device and method. The electronic device includes a touch screen, at least one fingerprint sensor disposed on the touch screen, and a processor implementing the method, including controlling the touch screen to display one or more graphic objects, detecting attribute information of at least one graphic object associated with a fingerprint sensor disposed on at least a part of the touch screen from among the one or more graphic objects, activating an area of the fingerprint sensor based on the attribute information, the activated area of the fingerprint sensor corresponding to the at least one graphic object, and acquiring fingerprint information through the activated area of the fingerprint sensor.

Apparatus and method for controlling fingerprint sensor

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a touch sensor, a fingerprint sensor, a display, and a processor. The display includes a display region having a fingerprint sensing region. The processor is configured to detect a touch input for the fingerprint sensing region by using the touch sensor, and to acquire touch information, corresponding to the touch input, on the display. In addition, the processor is configured to determine a graphic object for guiding acquisition of a user's fingerprint corresponding to the touch input through the fingerprint sensing region, based at least on the touch information. Also, the processor is configured to display the graphic object through the fingerprint sensing region of the display or proximity thereof.
