Abstract
An apparatus and method for biometric information detection are provided. The apparatus includes a housing, a biometric sensor disposed on a surface of the housing, and configured to detect biometric information of a subject, and an impedance measurer including biometric electrode pairs disposed around the biometric sensor, the impedance measurer being configured to measure bio-impedances of the subject using the biometric electrode pairs. The apparatus further includes a processor configured to determine a bio-impedance ratio, based on the measured bio-impedances, and determine validity of the detected biometric information, based on the determined bio-impedance ratio.
