The problem of not reading and responding on phones with in-screen fingerprint sensors is solved. Huawei's full screen fingerprint sensor has appeared.
Fingerprint sensor technology has evolved over the years and is now embedded in the screen on most smartphones. Most of the new Android phones use an in- display fingerprint reader , but it doesn't work perfectly. To unlock the device, it is necessary to exactly match the point where the fingerprint sensor is. Huawei 's new patent solves this problem.
More and more smartphone manufacturers are incorporating under-screen fingerprint technology, but this technology works on part of the screen. This means that for it to work, the user must put their finger on the sensor. Huawei applied for a patent for the fingerprint sensor that covers the entire screen .
This means that the user can authenticate by tapping anywhere on the screen. The location of the fingerprint sensor will be hidden, so it will be difficult for unauthenticated users to unlock the device. By placing the fingerprint sensor on the application icons, it will be possible to prevent applications from being opened by others. Some applications already provide an additional level of security, but this feature will allow the user to protect any application with a fingerprint.
Huawei believes it can also reduce battery consumption by limiting the sensor's space, as it will only power on when needed . However, since this is a patent, there is a possibility that it may not become a reality. Apple's in-screen / screen embedded fingerprint reader (Touch ID) patent has also appeared, but the iPhone 12 series will also have Face ID. We can see a screen without a notch on the iPhone 13 series.
