FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram of the identification system 10 according to an embodiment of the disclosure.

The recognition system 10 includes a first electronic device 100 and a second electronic device 200. The first electronic device 100 is, for example, one of a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, an iPod, an earphone, a headset, a charging box, and a wearable device. Among them, the wearable device is a smart bracelet, a smart watch, and the like. The second electronic device 200 is, for example, the other of a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, an iPod, a charging box, and a wearable device, or an electronic device that can perform a payment function or play a music function. In this embodiment, the first electronic device 100 is, for example, a headset, and the second electronic device 200 is, for example, a mobile phone.

The first electronic device 100 includes a processor 110, a storage unit 120, a wireless communication unit 130 and a sensor 140. The second electronic device 200 includes a processor 210, a storage unit 220, a wireless communication unit 230, and a setting unit 240. In another embodiment, the setting unit 240 may also be configured on the first electronic device 100.

At least one of the storage unit 120, the wireless communication unit 130, and the sensor 140 is, for example, a circuit structure, a chip, and/or a semiconductor package, which may be formed by one or more semiconductor processes. In addition, at least two of the storage unit 120, the wireless communication unit 130, and the sensor 140 may be integrated into a component or a processor. At least one of the storage unit 220, the wireless communication unit 230, and the setting unit 240 is, for example, a circuit structure, a chip, and/or a semiconductor package, which can be formed by one or some semiconductor processes. In addition, at least two of the storage unit 220, the wireless communication unit 230, and the setting unit 240 may be integrated into a component or a processor.

Please refer to FIGS. 1 and 2 at the same time. FIG. 2 shows a flowchart of a method for setting the identification system 10 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

In step S110, the setting unit 240 sets a functional relationship FR between a set biological feature BC1 and a function F1. In an embodiment, the set biological feature BC1 is, for example, a fingerprint, and the function F1 is, for example, an operating function of the second electronic device 200. Operation functions such as music or video playback functions, such as play/stop, call active/reject, previous/next, volume increase/decrease, and Bluetooth/Wi-Fi More media interface (Multi Media Interface, MMI) applications for audio applications, etc. The operation function further includes functions such as waking up the second electronic device 200, turning on/off the second electronic device 200, etc. In addition, the operation function also includes switching electronic devices Function, for example, switch to connect to different electronic devices.

However, these examples do not limit the embodiments of the present invention.

In addition, the user can input the set biometric feature BC1 and function F1 through a user interface (not shown), and the setting unit 240 sets the functional relationship FR between the set biometric feature BC1 and function F1 according to the input of the user interface. User interface input. The user interface is, for example, a window displayed on the display (not shown) of the first electronic device 100 or the second electronic device 200.

In step S120, the setting unit 240 sets the confidentiality relationship (or security relationship) SR between the set biometric feature BC1 and the confidentiality (or security) SE1.

In addition, the user can input the set biometrics BC1 and the confidentiality SE1 through the user interface, and the setting unit 240 sets the confidentiality relationship SR between the set biometrics BC1 and the confidentiality SE1 according to the user's input.

In step S130, the sensor 140 senses the set biometric feature BC1 of the user. For example, the sensor 140 senses the user's fingerprint, such as one of the little finger, ring finger, middle finger, index finger, and thumb. Alternatively, the set biological feature BC1 may also be a combo key or a key combination. For example, the sensor 140 senses multiple fingerprints of the user, such as at least two of the little finger, ring finger, middle finger, index finger, and thumb. In addition, the set biometric feature BC1 can be one finger or multiple hands Pointing finger movement, such as sliding, tapping, double tapping, etc. Different set biological characteristics BC1 can represent different functions F1.

In step S140, the processor 110 or 210 determines whether the biometric characteristic BC1 and the confidentiality SE1 corresponding to the set are high (for example, the confidentiality SE1 can be set as "high" or "low" by the user). When the confidentiality SE1 corresponding to the set biological feature BC1 is high, the process proceeds to step S150; if not, the process proceeds to step S160.

In step S150, the processor 110 or 210 completely stores the set biometric feature BC1, the confidential relationship SR, and the functional relationship FR in the database 121 configured in the storage unit 120.

In step S160, the processor 110 or 210 determines whether the database 221 or 121 has a complete biological feature BC1' (not shown in the figure). When the database 221 or 121 has a complete biological feature BC1', the process proceeds to step S180; if not, the process proceeds to step S170. The complete biometrics in this article refers to all the biometrics that are sensed.

If the sensing in step S130 is the initial sensing/first sensing, usually no set biological feature BC1 is stored in the database, or no complete set biological feature BC1 is stored in the database 221 or 121 Features BC1'. Therefore, when the process enters step S170, the processor 110 can store the complete biological feature BC1 (as a complete biological feature BC1') in the database 221 or 121.

In step S180, when the database 221 or 121 has the complete biological feature BC1', the processor 110 or 210 may only store the difference between the sensed biological feature BC1 and the complete biological feature BC1' in the data Library 221 or 121. In this way, the set biological feature BC1 can be identified through the sensed difference part of the set biological feature BC1.

Please refer to Figures 3A to 3B. Figure 3A is a schematic diagram of the complete biological feature BC1', and Figure 3B is a schematic diagram of the sensed biological feature BC1. As shown in Figure 3A, the complete biological feature BC1' has multiple feature points P1. Since the difference part of the set biological feature BC1 sensed (for example, the feature points P21~P25 shown in Figure 3B) is sufficient to identify the set biological feature BC1 sensed, This allows only the difference part of the sensed biological feature BC1 to be stored in the database 121 or 221. In this way, the setting speed of the functional relationship FR and the confidentiality relationship SR can be increased, and the identification speed of the identification process described later can be increased.

As described above, according to steps S110 to S180, the functional relationship FR, the confidential relationship SR, and the set biometric feature BC1 are stored in the database 221. In addition, the functional relationship FR, the confidential relationship SR, and the set biometric feature BC1 can be stored in the database 121 configured in the storage unit 220 of the second electronic device 200 through the wireless communication units 130 and 230. The wireless communication technology used by the wireless communication units 130 and 230 is, for example, Bluetooth communication technology, Wi-Fi communication technology, and the like.

Please refer to FIGS. 4A and 4B, which illustrate a flowchart of an identification method of the identification system 10 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

In step S210, the first electronic device 100 provides a database 121 or the second electronic device 200 provides a database 221, wherein the database 121 or 221 includes a plurality of set biological characteristics BC1, a plurality of functional relationships FR, and a plurality of confidential relationships SR , Where each functional relationship FR represents a relationship between a set biological feature BC1 and a function F1, and each confidential relationship SR represents a relationship between a set biological feature BC1 and a confidentiality SE1.

In step S220, the sensor 140 of the first electronic device 100 captures the user's biological feature TC to be recognized (not shown in the figure).

In step S230, the processor 110 or 210 compares the biometric feature TC to be identified with the plurality of biometric features BC1 in the database 121 or 221.

In step S240, the processor 110 or 210 determines whether the biological feature TC to be identified matches one of the plurality of set biological features BC1. When the to-be-identified biological feature TC matches the matching person in the set biological feature BC1, the process proceeds to step S250; if not, the process proceeds to step S260.

In step S250, the processor 110 or 210 determines whether the biological feature TC to be identified is of low confidentiality. When the biological feature to be identified is of low confidentiality, the process proceeds to step S270; if not, the process proceeds to step S280.

In step S270, the processor 110 or 210 executes the function F1 corresponding to the biometric feature TC to be identified according to the functional relationship FR between the set biometric feature BC1 and the matcher of the biometric feature TC and the corresponding function F1.

In step S280, since the confidentiality of the biometric TC to be identified is not low, the processor 110 or 210 retrieves the user's biometric TC to be identified again to perform double security confirmation.

In step S282, the processor 110 or 210 again determines whether the complete biological feature TC to be identified matches the match of the complete biological feature BC1 with high confidentiality. When the complete biological feature TC to be identified matches the matcher belonging to the complete set of biological features BC1 with high confidentiality, the process party proceeds to step S284.

In step S284, the processor 110 or 210 executes a function F1, where the function F1 is, for example, a security certificate of payment. In steps S280 to S284, when the sensing requires high confidentiality verification, two sensings can be performed, and it is required that the complete biological feature TC to be identified must be used for identification (recognition).

In step S260, when the biometric feature TC to be identified does not match any set biometric feature BC1 in the database 121 or 221, it means that the biometric feature TC to be identified has not been defined in the database 121 or 221 (that is, the biometric feature TC to be identified is not yet defined). The biometric identification TC is a new biometric feature to be identified). Therefore, the second electronic device 200 can use the aforementioned setting method to set the new function relationship FR between the newly set biometric feature BC1 and the corresponding new function F1.

For example, in step S262, the sensor 140 of the first electronic device 100 senses a new set biological feature BC1.

In step S264, the first electronic device 100 stores the new functional relationship FR in the database 121 or 221.

As described above, without the need to look at the electronic device 100, the identification system 10 can perform functions by sensing biological characteristics, thus allowing the electronic device 100 to operate in the user's pocket. In other words, when the electronic device 100 is to be operated, the user does not need to take the electronic device 100 out of the container or pocket, and only needs to operate the electronic device 100 in the container or pocket.

To sum up, although the present disclosure has been disclosed as above through the embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present disclosure. Those with ordinary knowledge in the technical field to which this disclosure belongs can make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of this disclosure. Therefore, the scope of protection of this disclosure shall be subject to the scope of the attached patent application.
