Electronic device and method for storing fingerprint information

An electronic device and an operation method thereof are provided. The method includes displaying information on a touch screen of the electronic device by operating a first application, displaying user interface of a second application, detecting an input through the user interface, displaying at least one recommendation object corresponding to the input among the information on the touch screen, at least partly in response to the input, receiving an input of selecting at least one of the at least one recommendation object, and displaying the recommendation object on the user interface, in response to the selecting input.

Electronic device and operation method thereof

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.

Electronic device and method for acquiring fingerprint information

A method of operating an electronic apparatus is provided. The method includes displaying, by an electronic apparatus including a display, a region including at least one of an image, text, and content on a part of a screen of the display, detecting, by the electronic apparatus, a touch or hovering of a user at a first location on or around the region, detecting, by the electronic apparatus, a movement of the touch or the hovering of the user, detecting a second location at which the movement is ended, dividing the screen of the display into two or more portions, and displaying a user interface of an application program related to at least one of the image, the text, and the content on a portion corresponding to the second location among the divided portions.

Electronic apparatus and screen display method thereof

A method for operating a user device includes playing a media content on a screen, detecting a user input for lowering a volume of the media content, and decreasing the volume of the media content in response to the user input, determining whether a user input enters a play control zone after the detection of the user input for lowering the volume, and performing a pause of the media content in response to the user input entering the play control zone. A user device includes a touch screen configured to receive a user input for controlling a volume of the media content, and a controller configured to decrease the volume of the media content in response to a user input for decreasing a volume during playing of the media content, and perform a pause of the media content when the user input enters a play control zone.
