Abstract

An electronic device includes a biometric sensor. One or more processors of the electronic device or a pre-processor of the biometric sensor detect actuation of the biometric sensor. The one or more processors or the pre-processor can then determine whether at least one predefined condition is occurring concurrently with actuation of the biometric sensor. Where it is, the one or more processors or pre-processor can preclude the biometric sensor from processing received biometric data samples while the predefined condition is occurring. Illustrating by example, the one or more processors or pre-processor can discard the biometric data samples while the biometric sensor remains operational.
