Abstract
An electronic device and a fingerprint sensing control method thereof are provided. A sensing region of a display panel is divided into a plurality of fingerprint zones. The electronic device determines at least one target fingerprint zone from the fingerprint zones according to a touched area. The electronic device scans the at least one target fingerprint zone for performing fingerprint sensing. The electronic device performs an accelerated reading operation. The accelerated reading operation includes: reading at least one sensing signal from the at least one target fingerprint zone; and skipping reading at least one of the fingerprint zones other than the at least one target fingerprint zone among the fingerprint zones.
