3 . The mobile terminal according to claim 2 , wherein an upper surface of the touch cover plate is partially recessed downwardly to form the second part of the touch cover plate.

4 . The mobile terminal according to claim 2 , wherein a lower surface of the touch cover plate is partially recessed upwardly to form the second part of the touch cover plate, the sensing identification module is entirely or partially located inside the second part.

5 . The mobile terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the touch screen further comprises a touch sensor, the touch sensor is located beneath the touch cover plate.

6 . The mobile terminal according to claim 5 , wherein a through hole is arranged between an upper surface and a lower surface of the touch sensor, the sensing identification module is placed in the through hole.

7 . The mobile terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the touch screen further comprises a reinforcing layer, the reinforcing layer is located beneath the touch cover plate.

8 . The mobile terminal according to claim 7 , wherein a through hole is arranged between an upper surface and a lower surface of the reinforcing layer, the sensing identification module is placed in the through hole.

9 . The mobile terminal according to claim 1 , wherein a lower surface of the touch cover plate is further provided with a silk screen layer.

10 . The mobile terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the sensing identification module comprises at least one of a fingerprint identification module, a heartbeat identification module and a blood oxygen identification module.

11 . An apparatus, comprising:
a cover plate; and a sensing identification module arranged beneath the cover plate; wherein the cover plate comprises a main part and a sensing part having a thickness less than the main part, the sensing identification module is at least partly covered by the sensing part of the cover plate.

12 . The apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein the sensing identification module comprises a fingerprint identification module.

13 . The apparatus according to claim 12 , wherein the sensing identification module further comprises at least one of a heartbeat identification module and a blood oxygen identification module.

14 . The apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein the cover plate comprises a top touch surface and a bottom surface opposite to the top touch surface, the sensing identification module is arranged adjacent to the bottom surface of the cover plate.

15 . The apparatus according to claim 14 , wherein the top touch surface is recessed at the sensing part of the cover plate for reducing a thickness of the sensing part and enhancing signal strength of the sensing identification module.

16 . The apparatus according to claim 14 , wherein the bottom surface is recessed at the sensing part of the cover plate to form a receiving recess, and the sensing identification module is at least partly received in the receiving recess.

17 . The apparatus according to claim 14 , further comprising a reinforcing layer arranged on the bottom surface of the cover plate, wherein a through hole is formed in the reinforcing layer at a region corresponding to the sensing part of the cover plate, and the sensing identification module is received in the through hole.

18 . The apparatus according to claim 14 , further comprising a silk screen layer arranged on the bottom surface of the cover plate, wherein the silk screen layer is configured for indicating a location of the sensing identification module.

19 . The apparatus according to claim 11 , further comprising a touch panel arranged beneath the cover plate, wherein the touch panel comprises a through hole formed at a region corresponding to the sensing part of the cover plate, and the sensing identification module is received in the through hole.

20 . The apparatus according to claim 12 , wherein the fingerprint identification module comprises a fingerprint identification sensor circuit with a series of analog circuit matrixes for providing a signal acquisition function, and a dust-proof cushion is provided in the fingerprint identification module for fixing the fingerprint identification module and isolating undesired object from entering an interior of the fingerprint identification module.
