    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for controlling a device controller of an electronic device comprising a fingerprint sensor to transition from an at least partly active mode to an at least partly in-active mode. The fingerprint sensor itself is used for determining a presence of a finger on the fingerprint sensor, wherein a device controller is maintained in an at least partly active mode if a finger is detected on the fingerprint sensor. The present invention also relates to an electronic device comprising a fingerprint sensor and a device controller.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates a method for fingerprint image enhancement comprising applying a first low pass filter and a first weight to raw fingerprint image data to produce a first filtered fingerprint image data set. Applying a second low pass filter and a second weight to the raw fingerprint image data to produce a second filtered fingerprint image data set. Filter coefficients of the second filter are different from filter coefficients of the first filter. The first filtered fingerprint image data set and the second filtered fingerprint image data set are combined to produce a final enhanced fingerprint image. The disclosure also relates to a fingerprint sensing system and to an electronic device comprising a fingerprint sensing system.

    Abstract: A method for providing user input on an electronic device comprising a fingerprint sensor comprising an array of sensing elements. Acquiring partial fingerprint images of a finger touching a finger touch surface of the fingerprint sensor from at least two sub-groups of sensing element. Determining a respective force value indicative of a force applied on the finger touch surface at each of the sub-groups of sensing elements when the partial fingerprints were acquired, based on the partial fingerprint images acquired from the respective sub-group of sensing elements. Determining a force value difference between a pair of the determined force values. Determining a user input based on the determined force value difference, and based on the relative location between the sub-groups of sensing elements in the pair associated with the force value difference.

    Abstract: A fingerprint image is acquired, and it is determined if the finger is still touching the sensing surface. When the finger no longer touches the sensing surface, the user is authenticated based on one or several fingerprint image(s) acquired so far. When the finger still touches the sensing surface, a quality measure is determined for the fingerprint image. When a quality of the fingerprint image fulfills a predefined quality criterion, the user is authenticated based on one or several fingerprint images acquired so far. When the quality of the fingerprint image fails to fulfill the predefined quality criterion, a subsequent fingerprint image is acquired. When the finger still touches the sensing surface, and the quality measure indicates that the quality of the subsequent fingerprint image fulfills the predefined quality criterion, the user is authenticated based on one or several fingerprint images acquired so far including the subsequent fingerprint image.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a fingerprint sensing system and a method of the fingerprint sensing system of enabling authentication of a user based on fingerprint data captured by a fingerprint sensor of the fingerprint sensing system. The method comprises capturing at least one image of a fingerprint of a user's finger contacting the fingerprint sensor, acquiring a stored image comprising impairment data caused by impairments that the fingerprint sensor is subjected to, extracting fingerprint feature data from the captured at least one image, extracting impairment feature data from the acquired image, and comparing at least a subset of the extracted fingerprint feature data to at least a subset of the extracted impairment feature data of the acquired image, and if there is a match the user is not authenticated.
