Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An electronic device with a display and a fingerprint sensor displays a fingerprint enrollment interface and detects, on the fingerprint sensor, a plurality of finger gestures performed with a finger. The device collects fingerprint information from the plurality of finger gestures performed with the finger. After collecting the fingerprint information, the device determines whether the collected fingerprint information is sufficient to enroll a fingerprint of the finger. When the collected fingerprint information for the finger is sufficient to enroll the fingerprint of the finger, the device enrolls the fingerprint of the finger with the device. When the collected fingerprint information for the finger is not sufficient to enroll the fingerprint of the finger, the device displays a message in the fingerprint enrollment interface prompting a user to perform one or more additional finger gestures on the fingerprint sensor with the finger.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An electronic device, comprising: a display; a biometric sensor; one or more processors; and memory storing one or more programs configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for: displaying a biometric settings interface, wherein displaying the biometric settings interface includes concurrently displaying: a plurality of entries that correspond to respective enrolled sets of biometric information, wherein the plurality of entries include a first entry that corresponds to a first set of biometric information and a second entry that corresponds to a second set of biometric information that is different from the first set of biometric information; and a biometric enrollment affordance; while displaying the biometric settings interface, detecting an input using the biometric sensor; in response to detecting the input using the biometric sensor: in accordance with a determination that the detected input corresponds to the first set of biometric information, highlighting the first entry that corresponds to the first set of biometric information without highlighting the second entry that corresponds to the second set of biometric information; and in accordance with a determination that the detected input corresponds to the second set of biometric information, highlighting the second entry that corresponds to the second set of biometric information without highlighting the first entry that corresponds to the first set of biometric information; after detecting the input using the biometric sensor, detecting activation of the biometric enrollment affordance; and in response to detecting the activation of the biometric enrollment affordance, initiating a process for enrolling biometric information with the biometric sensor. 2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first set of biometric information or the second set of biometric information corresponds to a respective fingerprint. 3. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the biometric sensor is a fingerprint sensor. 4. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the input is a finger gesture on the biometric sensor. 5. The electronic device of claim 1 , the one or more programs further including instructions for: in accordance with a determination that the detected input does not correspond to either the first set of biometric information or the second set of biometric information, foregoing highlighting the first set of biometric information or highlighting the second set of biometric information. 6. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the determination that the detected input corresponds to the first set of biometric information includes: collecting biometric information using the biometric sensor; and comparing the collected biometric information to the first set of biometric information. 7. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of the display is used as the biometric sensor. 8. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs configured to be executed by one or more processors of an electronic device with a display and a biometric sensor, the one or more programs comprising instructions for: displaying a biometric settings interface, wherein displaying the biometric settings interface includes concurrently displaying: a plurality of entries that correspond to respective enrolled sets of biometric information, wherein the plurality of entries include a first entry that corresponds to a first set of biometric information and a second entry that corresponds to a second set of biometric information that is different from the first set of biometric information; and a biometric enrollment affordance; while displaying the biometric settings interface, detecting an input using the biometric sensor; in response to detecting the input using the biometric sensor: in accordance with a determination that the detected input corresponds to the first set of biometric information, highlighting the first entry that corresponds to the first set of biometric information without highlighting the second entry that corresponds to the second set of biometric information; and in accordance with a determination that the detected input corresponds to the second set of biometric information, highlighting the second entry that corresponds to the second set of biometric information without highlighting the first entry that corresponds to the first set of biometric information; after detecting the input using the biometric sensor, detecting activation of the biometric enrollment affordance; and in response to detecting the activation of the biometric enrollment affordance, initiating a process for enrolling biometric information with the biometric sensor. 9. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein at least one of the first set of biometric information or the second set of biometric information corresponds to a respective fingerprint. 10. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the biometric sensor is a fingerprint sensor. 11. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the input is a finger gesture on the biometric sensor. 12. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 8 , the one or more programs further including instructions for: in accordance with a determination that the detected input does not correspond to either the first set of biometric information or the second set of biometric information, foregoing highlighting the first set of biometric information or highlighting the second set of biometric information. 13. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the determination that the detected input corresponds to the first set of biometric information includes: collecting biometric information using the biometric sensor; and comparing the collected biometric information to the first set of biometric information. 14. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein at least a portion of the display is used as the biometric sensor. 15. A method, comprising: at an electronic device with a display and a biometric sensor: displaying a biometric settings interface, wherein displaying the biometric settings interface includes concurrently displaying: a plurality of entries that correspond to respective enrolled sets of biometric information, wherein the plurality of entries include a first entry that corresponds to a first set of biometric information and a second entry that corresponds to a second set of biometric information that is different from the first set of biometric information; and a biometric enrollment affordance; while displaying the biometric settings interface, detecting an input using the biometric sensor; in response to detecting the input using the biometric sensor: in accordance with a determination that the detected input corresponds to the first set of biometric information, highlighting the first entry that corresponds to the first set of biometric information without highlighting the second entry that corresponds to the second set of biometric information; and in accordance with a determination that the detected input corresponds to the second set of biometric information, highlighting the second entry that corresponds to the second set of biometric information without highlighting the first entry that corresponds to the first set of biometric information; after detecting the input using the
