Abstract
Methods and electronic devices are provided in which first fingerprint information of a first portion of the user's fingerprint is obtained upon the user's fingerprint contacting the fingerprint sensor. A display object is output within a target area for the fingerprint registration, in response to obtaining the first fingerprint information. A guiding object is output to guide contact of a next portion of the user's fingerprint that is adjacent to the first portion. Next fingerprint information of the next portion of the user's fingerprint is obtained upon the user's fingerprint contacting the fingerprint sensor guided by the guiding object. Upon modifying the display object based on the obtained next fingerprint information, the steps of outputting a guiding object and obtaining a next fingerprint information are repeated until fingerprint information at least partially surrounding the first portion is obtained.
