Abstract
A method may involve receiving fingerprint sensor data from a fingerprint sensor system, detecting, according to the fingerprint sensor data, a presence of a digit on an outer surface of the apparatus in a fingerprint sensor system area; determining, according to the fingerprint sensor data, a digit force or a digit pressure of the digit on the outer surface of the apparatus; and making, according to the fingerprint sensor data, a time threshold determination. The time threshold determination may involve determining whether a length of time during which the digit force exceeds a threshold digit force or during which the digit pressure exceeds a threshold digit pressure is greater than or equal to a threshold length of time. The method may involve determining, based at least in part on the time threshold determination, whether to enable one or more emergency response functions of the apparatus.
