The present invention relates to an electronic device for performing authentication by using biometric information and an operating method thereof, the electronic device comprising: a first biometric sensor for acquiring biometric information by a first method; a second biometric sensor for acquiring the biometric information or other biometric data by a second method; a display; and a processor, wherein the processor may be configured to acquire context information relating to the first method and the second method, select at least one method from the first method and the second method on the basis of at least a part of the context information, and display at least one graphic object corresponding to the at least one authentication method through the display.

Electronic device for performing authentication by using multiple biometric sensors and operation method thereof

An electronic device and a method of operating the electronic device are provided. The electronic device includes a proximity detector; an iris recognition module; a memory; and a processor electrically connected to the proximity detector, the iris recognition module, and the memory, wherein the processor is configured to execute an iris recognition operation based on the iris recognition module; determine proximity of an object based on the proximity detector while the iris recognition operation is performed; and, if the proximity of the object includes within a set reference range, stop the iris recognition operation.

Electronic device providing iris recognition based on proximity and operating method thereof

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 for acquiring biometric information may include a display, and a fingerprint sensor configured to acquire fingerprint data through at least a partial display region of the display. A processor may execute a first application in which a graphical object is displayed, for controlling a designated function other than a fingerprint registration function. A user input on the graphical object may be used to collect fingerprint information, which is used as part of a fingerprint registration function.

Method of acquiring biometric data and electronic device therefor

A method and an apparatus are provided. The method and apparatus include a display, a fingerprint sensor formed in at least a part of a display area of the display, and a processor, wherein the processor is configured to identify content including at least one object to be displayed on the display, when the content is not associated with acquisition of fingerprint information, display the at least one object at a predetermined position, and when the content is associated with the acquisition of the fingerprint information, display the at least one object in at least the part of the display area in which the fingerprint sensor is formed. Other embodiments are also possible.

Method of displaying user interface related to user authentication and electronic device for implementing same

An electronic device that may collect gas and provide information associated with gas, and a operating method thereof are disclosed. The electronic device may include: a gas sensor that detects gas; a processing unit that analyzes the components of detected gases so as to determine whether abnormal gas is included; and a display unit that displays the analyzed gases on a screen, and displays abnormal gas to be emphasized. A method of operating the electronic device may include: detecting gases through the gas sensor; analyzing the detected gases and analyzing whether abnormal gases exist; displaying the analyzed gases on a screen and displaying abnormal gases to be emphasized.

Method for controlling gas and electronic device thereof

A method for use in an electronic device, comprising: sensing a state of the electronic device; detect whether the state satisfies a predetermined condition; detecting a concentration of a gas in response to the state satisfying the predetermined condition; and displaying an indication of the concentration of the gas.

Method for alarming gas and electronic device thereof

Display screen or portion thereof with graphic user interface
