Abstract

An electronic device according to various embodiments of the present invention comprises a fingerprint sensor, a display and a processor, wherein the processor may be configured to: execute an application comprising a plurality of resources corresponding to a plurality of images to be displayed on the display with respect to the fingerprint sensor; determine a resource among the plurality of resources which corresponds to the fingerprint sensor, on the basis of an attribute of the fingerprint sensor; and display one of the images which corresponds to the determined resource, on the display with respect to the fingerprint sensor.

Claims (54)

1. An electronic device comprising:

a display;

a fingerprint sensor disposed under the display; and

a processor,

wherein the processor is configured to:

execute an application including a plurality of resources comprising a first resource corresponding to a first attribute and a second resource corresponding to a second attribute, wherein each of the plurality of resources is for configuring an image in association with a fingerprint sensor,

obtain an attribute of the fingerprint sensor disposed under the display,

select a resource from among the first resource and the second resource, corresponding to the obtained attribute of the fingerprint sensor,

generate an image in association with the fingerprint sensor disposed under the display using the selected resource, and

display the image on a fingerprint sensing region on the display, the fingerprint sensing region corresponding to the fingerprint sensor disposed under the display.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

check a type of the fingerprint sensor disposed under the display,

select the first resource when the type of the fingerprint sensor has the first attribute, and

select the second resource when the type of the fingerprint sensor has the second attribute.

3. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

check a size or density of the fingerprint sensor disposed under the display,

select the first resource when the size or density of the fingerprint sensor has the first attribute, and

select the second resource when the size or density of the fingerprint sensor has the second attribute.

4. An electronic device comprising:

a display;

a fingerprint sensor disposed under the display; and

a processor,

wherein the processor is configured to:

execute an application including a plurality of resources,

obtain an attribute of the fingerprint sensor disposed under the display,

acquire screen resource information including at least one of the plurality of resources of the application corresponding to the obtained attribute of the fingerprint sensor disposed under the display;

generate a user interface associated with the fingerprint sensor, based on the acquired screen resource information, and

display the user interface around a fingerprint sensing region on the display, the fingerprint sensing region corresponding to the fingerprint sensor disposed under the display.

5. The electronic device of claim 4 , wherein the processor is configured to display a screen separated into a first area associated with the user interface and a second area associated with the application.

6. The electronic device of claim 4 , wherein the processor is configured to:

generate a first layer associated with the application and a second layer associated with the user interface, and

display the first and second layers to overlap with each other at least in part.

7. The electronic device of claim 4 , wherein the processor is configured to display the user interface in a region designated in the application.

8. The electronic device of claim 4 , wherein the processor is configured to generate the user interface by using the at least one resource including at least one of an image, an animation, a menu, or a layout provided as the screen resource information in the application.

9. The electronic device of claim 4 , wherein the processor is configured to generate the user interface, at least based on a background, a theme, or a title associated with the application.

10. A method of an electronic device including a touch sensor, a fingerprint sensor, and a display having a display region in which a fingerprint sensing region is formed, the method comprising:

executing an application including a plurality of resources comprising a first resource corresponding to a first attribute and a second resource corresponding to a second attribute, wherein each of the plurality of resources is for configuring an image in association with a fingerprint sensor;

obtaining an attribute of the fingerprint sensor disposed under the display;

selecting a resource from among the first resource and the second resource, corresponding to the obtained attribute of the fingerprint sensor; and

generating an image in association with the fingerprint sensor disposed under the display using the selected resource; and

displaying the image on a fingerprint sensing region on the display, the fingerprint sensing region corresponding to the fingerprint sensor disposed under the display.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the selecting a resource comprises:

checking a type of the fingerprint sensor disposed under the display; and

selecting the first resource when the type of the fingerprint sensor has the first attribute, or selecting the second resource when the type of the fingerprint sensor has the second attribute.

12. The method of claim 10 , wherein the selecting a resource comprises:

checking a size or density of the fingerprint sensor disposed under the display; and

selecting the first resource when the size or density of the fingerprint sensor has the first attribute, or selecting the second resource when the size or density of the fingerprint sensor has the second attribute.

13. The method of claim 10 , wherein the displaying an image comprises displaying the executed application in a first area of the display and displaying the image corresponding to the determined resource in a second area separated from the first area.

14. The method of claim 10 , wherein the displaying an image comprises:

generating a first layer associated with the executed application and a second layer containing the image corresponding to the determined resource; and

displaying the first and second layers to overlap with each other at least in part.

15. The method of claim 10 , wherein the displaying an image comprises displaying the image corresponding to the selected resource in a region designated in the application.

16. The method of claim 10 , further comprising:

generating a user interface by using at least one of an image, an animation, a menu, or a layout provided as the resource in the application.
