Abstract:
An electronic device may include a finger biometric sensor and a processor and a memory coupled thereto. The processor is capable of performing a first matching to determine a first matching score of sensed finger biometric data against finger biometric template data stored in the memory, and indicating a match and updating the finger biometric template data when the first matching score exceeds a first threshold. The processor is also capable of performing a second matching of the sensed finger biometric data against the stored finger biometric template data to determine a second matching score when the first matching score does not exceed the first threshold and updating the finger biometric template data stored in the memory when the second matching score is above a second threshold. The second matching is slower but more accurate than the first matching.
Abstract:
A wearable electronic device may include a device body and a device band coupled to the device body for securing the device to a wrist of a user. The wearable electronic device may also include a wrist biometric sensor carried by one of the device body and the device band. The wrist biometric sensor may include biometric sensing pixels. The wearable electronic device may also include a processor coupled to the wrist biometric sensor and configured to cooperate with the biometric sensing pixels to acquire skin texture pattern images from adjacent portions of the user's wrist, and perform at least one authentication function based upon the skin texture pattern images.
Abstract:
An electronic device may include a finger biometric sensor that includes an array of electric field sensing pixels and image data output circuitry coupled thereto and capable of outputting image data from a plurality of sub-arrays of the array of electric field sensing pixels and processing circuitry coupled to the image data output circuitry. The processing circuitry is capable of determining movement of a user's finger across the array of electric field sensing pixels by comparing image data from borders of adjacent sub-arrays, the movement causing artifacts in the image data, and, when movement of the user's finger is determined, remove the artifacts from the image data.
