Abstract

The present disclosure discloses a method and system for processing input fingerprint information, and a mobile terminal thereof. The method includes the following steps: a fingerprint information identification step: when it is scanned that fingerprint information is input, identifying whether a fingerprint template matching with the input fingerprint information is present in a fingerprint database, wherein the fingerprint database includes a plurality of pre-registered fingerprint templates, each fingerprint template being associated with an application operation; and an operation execution step: if it is identified that a fingerprint template matching with the input fingerprint information is present in the fingerprint database, performing the application operation associated with the identified fingerprint template. According to the present disclosure, a plurality of fingerprints is pre-registered as a fingerprint template, and then an application operation is set to be associated with each fingerprint template.

if it is identified that a fingerprint template matching with the input fingerprint information is present in the fingerprint database and the fingerprint information corresponds to the owner mode, entering the owner mode;

if it is identified that a fingerprint template matching with the input fingerprint information is present in the fingerprint database and the fingerprint information corresponds to the non-owner mode, entering the non-owner mode; and

if it is identified that no fingerprint template matching with the input fingerprint information is present in the fingerprint database, refusing to enter the system or entering a predetermined system mode.

6 . The method for processing input fingerprint information according to claim 1 , wherein the application operation associated with the fingerprint template is a dialup application, and the operation execution step comprises:

if it is identified that a fingerprint template matching with the input fingerprint information is present in the fingerprint database, dialing a telephone number corresponding to the identified fingerprint template.

7 . The method for processing input fingerprint information according to claim 1 , wherein the application operation associated with the fingerprint template is an operating system application, and the operation execution step comprises:

if it is identified that a fingerprint template matching with the input fingerprint information is present in the fingerprint database, starting an operating system or a ROM associated with the identified fingerprint template.

8 . The method for processing input fingerprint information according to claim 1 , wherein the application operation associated with the fingerprint template is a system theme application, and the operation execution step comprises:

if it is identified that a fingerprint template matching with the input fingerprint information is present in the fingerprint database, loading system theme information associated with the identified fingerprint template.

9 . A system for processing input fingerprint information, comprising:

a fingerprint database establishing module, configured to register fingerprint templates and set each fingerprint template to be associated with an application operation;

a fingerprint information identifying module, configured to, when it is scanned that fingerprint information is input, identifying whether a fingerprint template matching with the input fingerprint information is present in the fingerprint database; and
