Abstract

Embodiments of the present application provide a method for fingerprint identification, which could reduce power consumption generated in the process of fingerprint identification. The method includes: capturing an optical signal, where the optical signal includes an optical signal, in an illumination region of a display screen, illuminating on a finger and reflected by the finger, the illuminating region is determined according to a pressing region within a fingerprint capturing region in which the finger performs a fingerprint pressing operation, and an area of the illuminating region is smaller than an area of the fingerprint capturing region; and performing fingerprint identification according to the optical signal.

Claims (24)

1. A method for fingerprint identification, wherein the method comprises:

acquiring a fingerprint processing region, wherein the fingerprint processing region is determined according to a pressing region within a fingerprint capturing region in which a finger performs a fingerprint pressing operation, and an area of the fingerprint processing region is smaller than an area of the fingerprint capturing region;

selecting fingerprint data in the fingerprint processing region from fingerprint data carried by an optical signal captured in the fingerprint capturing region; and

performing fingerprint identification according to the fingerprint data in the fingerprint processing region.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the fingerprint processing region is the pressing region.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the fingerprint processing region is an elliptical region obtained by performing graphic fitting based on a center point of the pressing region, a long axis of the pressing region and a short axis of the pressing region.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the fingerprint processing region is a circular region obtained by performing graphic fitting based on a center point of the pressing region and a long axis of the pressing region.
