User terminal apparatus, electronic apparatus, system, and control method thereof
A user terminal apparatus is provided. The user terminal apparatus for performing a remote control function for an electronic apparatus includes a communication unit configured to communicate with an electronic apparatus for providing a text input user interface (UI), an input unit configured to receive a user command for input of a specific text on the text input UI, a fingerprint scanner provided in the input unit and configured to recognize a user fingerprint, and a controller configured to recognize a user fingerprint according to the user command and to transmit information corresponding to the recognized user fingerprint to the electronic apparatus in response to the electronic apparatus entering a preset text input mode.
1. A terminal apparatus for authenticating a user account that is input to an electronic apparatus, the terminal apparatus comprising:
a communicator;
a fingerprint scanner; and
a processor configured to:
based on a first user command being input to a user interface (UI) displayed on the electronic apparatus for authenticating the user account which is input in a character input UI displayed on the electronic apparatus for inputting information corresponding to the user account, receive, through the communicator, a signal corresponding to the first user command,
based on the signal corresponding to the first user command being received, activate the fingerprint scanner, and
control the activated fingerprint scanner to scan a user fingerprint,
wherein the user account is authenticated based on the user fingerprint.
2. The terminal apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a display,
wherein the processor is configured to, based on receiving the signal, control the display to display a UI for authentication of the user account by using the terminal apparatus, and
based on a second user command being input through the UI displayed on the display, activate the fingerprint scanner.
3. The terminal apparatus as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the processor is further configured to, based on the second user command being input through the UI displayed on the display, control the display to display a request to input the user fingerprint.
4. The terminal apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to activate the fingerprint scanner in response to the signal being received through the communicator.
5. The terminal apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to deactivate the fingerprint scanner based on the user account being authenticated.
6. The terminal apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising an input unit,
wherein, in a state where the fingerprint scanner is deactivated, based on a second user command to activate the fingerprint scanner being input to the input unit, the processor is configured to activate the fingerprint scanner.
7. A method of authenticating a user account that is input to an electronic apparatus, the method comprising:
based on a first user command being input to a user interface (UI) displayed on the electronic apparatus for authenticating the user account which is input in a character input UI displayed on the electronic apparatus for inputting information corresponding to the user account, receiving, by a terminal apparatus, a signal corresponding to the first user command,
based on the signal corresponding to the first user command being received, activating, a fingerprint scanner of the terminal apparatus, and
scanning, through the activated fingerprint scanner, a user fingerprint,
wherein the user account is authenticated based on the user fingerprint.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the scanning comprises, based on receiving the signal, displaying a UI for authentication of the user account by using the terminal apparatus, and
based on a second user command being input through the UI displayed on the terminal apparatus, activating the fingerprint scanner.
9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:
based on the second user command being input through the UI displayed on the terminal apparatus, displaying a request to input the user fingerprint.
10. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:
activating the fingerprint scanner in response to the signal being received.
11. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:
deactivating the fingerprint scanner based on the user account being authenticated.
12. The method of claim 7 , wherein, in a state in which fingerprint scanning is deactivated, based on a second user command to activate the fingerprint scanner being input to an input unit of the terminal apparatus, activating the fingerprint scanner.
13. A non-transitory computer-readable medium recording instructions for execution by a processor of an electronic apparatus to cause the electronic apparatus to perform operations, comprising:
based on a first user command being input to a character input user interface (UI) displayed on the electronic apparatus for authenticating a user account which is input in a character input UI displayed on the electronic apparatus for inputting information corresponding to the user account, receiving, by a terminal apparatus, a signal corresponding to the first user command,
based on the signal corresponding to the first user command being received, activating, a fingerprint scanner of the terminal apparatus, and
scanning, through the activated fingerprint scanner, a user fingerprint,
wherein the user account is authenticated based on the user fingerprint.
14. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the scanning comprises, based on receiving the signal, displaying a UI for authentication of the user account by using the terminal apparatus, and
based on a second user command being input through the UI displayed on the terminal apparatus, activating the fingerprint scanner.
15. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 14 , wherein the operations further comprise:
based on the second user command being input through the UI displayed on the terminal apparatus, displaying a request to input the user fingerprint.
16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the operations further comprise:
activating the fingerprint scanner in response to the signal being received.
17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the operations further comprise:
deactivating the fingerprint scanner based on the user account being authenticated.
18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the operations further comprise:
in a state in which fingerprint scanning is deactivated, based on a second user command to activate the fingerprint scanner being input to an input unit of the terminal apparatus, activating the fingerprint scanner.
