Abstract

A device starting system and method. A display device and an accessory device are provided in the device starting system. When the display device is in a turn-off state and the accessory device is in a turn-on state, a user may perform an operation on the accessory device, and the accessory device collects to-be-verified fingerprint data in response to the operation of the user. Then, the to-be-verified fingerprint data is matched with pre-stored fingerprint data of the user, to identify whether an identity of the user is valid. If the to-be-verified fingerprint data successfully matches the fingerprint data of the user, the display device performs a turn-on operation. Alternatively, if the to-be-verified fingerprint data fails to match the fingerprint data of the user, the display device may output a first feedback.

Claims (54)

1 . A device starting method, comprising:

collecting, by an accessory device, to-be-verified fingerprint data, and sending the to-be-verified fingerprint data to a display device through a Bluetooth connection;

matching, by the display device, based on the display device receiving the to-be-verified fingerprint data, the to-be-verified fingerprint data with pre-stored fingerprint data of a user;

performing, by the display device, based on the to-be-verified fingerprint data successfully matching the pre-stored fingerprint data of the user, a turn-on operation; and

outputting, by the display device, based on the to-be-verified fingerprint data failing to match the pre-stored fingerprint data of the user, a second feedback, wherein the second feedback comprises one or more of a vibration feedback, a light feedback, and a sound feedback,

wherein the display device comprises a Bluetooth module with a first Bluetooth system and a second Bluetooth system, the first Bluetooth system having reduced functionality comprising receipt of the to-be-verified fingerprint data and link keepalive.

2 . The device starting method according to claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises, after the performing, by the display device, the turn-on operation:

switching, by the display device, the Bluetooth module of the display device from the first Bluetooth system to the second Bluetooth system, wherein the second Bluetooth system is configured to be paired with the accessory device or an electronic device other than the accessory device.

3 . The device starting method according to claim 1 , wherein the display device is an all-in-one machine.

4 . The device starting method according to claim 1 , wherein the accessory device is a Bluetooth keyboard, the Bluetooth keyboard is provided with a fingerprint collection module, and the fingerprint collection module is configured to collect the to-be-verified fingerprint data.

5 . The device starting method according to claim 1 , wherein the performing, by the display device, the turn-on operation comprises:

controlling, by the display device, a power module of the display device to supply power to each to-be-started module of the display device.

6 . The device starting method according to claim 1 , wherein the performing, by the display device, the turn-on operation comprises:

turning on, by the display device, a display of the display device.

7 . A device starting system, comprising a display device and an accessory device, wherein:

the accessory device is configured to, based on the display device being in a turn-off state and the accessory device being in a turn-on state:

collect to-be-verified fingerprint data;

match the to-be-verified fingerprint data with pre-stored fingerprint data of a user; and

send, based on the to-be-verified fingerprint data successfully matching the pre-stored fingerprint data of the user, a first turn-on instruction to the display device through a Bluetooth connection;

the display device is configured to perform a turn-on operation when receiving the first turn-on instruction; and

the accessory device is further configured to:

output, based on the to-be-verified fingerprint data failing to match the pre-stored fingerprint data of the user, a first feedback, wherein the first feedback comprises one or more of a vibration feedback, a light feedback, and a sound feedback,

wherein the display device comprises a Bluetooth module with a first Bluetooth system and a second Bluetooth system, the first Bluetooth system having reduced functionality comprising receipt of the to-be-verified fingerprint data and link keepalive.

8 . The device starting system according to claim 7 ,

wherein, based on the display device being in the turn-off state, the Bluetooth module of the display device uses the first Bluetooth system, and the first Bluetooth system is configured to receive the first turn-on instruction; and

wherein, based on the display device being in a turn-on state, the Bluetooth module of the display device uses the second Bluetooth system, and the second Bluetooth system is configured to be paired with the accessory device or an electronic device other than the accessory device.

9 . The device starting system according to claim 7 , wherein the display device is an all-in-one machine.

10 . The device starting system according to claim 7 , wherein the accessory device is a Bluetooth keyboard, the Bluetooth keyboard is provided with a fingerprint collection module, and the fingerprint collection module is configured to collect the to-be-verified fingerprint data.

11 . The device starting system according to claim 7 , wherein the display device is further configured to control, based on receiving the first turn-on instruction, a power module of the display device to supply power to each to-be-started module of the display device.

12 . The device starting system according to claim 7 , wherein the display device is further configured to turn on a display of the display device based on receiving the first turn-on instruction.

13 . The device starting system according to claim 7 , wherein the display device is further configured to display a fingerprint enrollment prompt box, the fingerprint enrollment prompt box prompts the user to enroll a fingerprint; and

wherein the accessory device is further configured to:

collect fingerprint data using a fingerprint sensor in response to a touch operation on the fingerprint sensor; and

perform quality detection on the collected fingerprint data.

14 . A device starting system, comprising a display device and an accessory device, wherein:

the accessory device is configured to, based on the display device being in a turn-off state and the accessory device being in a turn-on state, the accessory device is configured to:

collect to-be-verified fingerprint data; and

send the to-be-verified fingerprint data to the display device through a Bluetooth connection;

the display device is configured to:

match, based on receiving the to-be-verified fingerprint data, the to-be-verified fingerprint data with pre-stored fingerprint data of a user; and

perform, based on the to-be-verified fingerprint data successfully matching the pre-stored fingerprint data of the user, a turn-on operation; and

the display device is further configured to:

output, based on the to-be-verified fingerprint data failing to match the pre-stored fingerprint data of the user, a second feedback, wherein the second feedback comprises one or more of a vibration feedback, a light feedback, and a sound feedback,
