Fingerprint recognizing display system and operating method thereof

Abstract

An information device recognizing a fingerprint, the information device having a fingerprint data base storing registered fingerprint data; a fingerprint verifying unit comparing fingerprint data transmitted from an external device to the fingerprint verifying unit; and a kernel of an operating system of the information device permitting access to a program stored in the information device when the fingerprint verifying unit determines that transmitted fingerprint data match the registered fingerprint data, wherein the kernel determines whether the fingerprint data base has been established in the information device, recognizes that the external device and the information device have been activated and performs a fingerprint registration routine when it is determined that the fingerprint data base has not been established.

1 . An information device recognizing a fingerprint, the information device comprising: 
 a fingerprint data base storing registered fingerprint data;    a fingerprint verifying unit comparing fingerprint data transmitted from an external device to the fingerprint verifying unit; and    a kernel of an operating system of the information device permitting access to a program stored in the information device when the fingerprint verifying unit determines that transmitted fingerprint data match the registered fingerprint data, wherein the kernel determines whether the fingerprint data base has been established in the information device, recognizes that the external device and the information device have been activated and performs a fingerprint registration routine when it is determined that the fingerprint data base has not been established.    
   
   
       2 . The information device according to  claim 1 , wherein the kernel determines whether the external device is a fingerprint recognizing device when it is determined that the fingerprint data base has been established.  
   
   
       3 . The information device according to  claim 2 , wherein the external device comprises a monitor including a fingerprint recognizing module including a fingerprint image recognizing unit and transmitting the fingerprint data recognized by the fingerprint image recognizing unit to the information device.  
   
   
       4 . An information device recognizing a fingerprint, the information device comprising: 
 a fingerprint data base storing registered fingerprint data;    a kernel of an operating system of the information device; and    a fingerprint verifying unit comparing fingerprint data transmitted from an external device to the fingerprint verifying unit and controlling the kernel to execute a program stored in the information device when the fingerprint verifying unit determines that the transmitted fingerprint data match the registered fingerprint data, wherein the kernel determines whether the fingerprint data base has been established in the information device, recognizes that the external device and the information device have been activated and performs a fingerprint registration routine when it is determined that the fingerprint data base has not been established.    
   
   
       5 . The information device according to  claim 4 , wherein the kernel determines whether the external device is a fingerprint recognizing device when it is determined that the fingerprint data base has been established.  
   
   
       6 . The information device according to  claim 5 , wherein the external device comprises a monitor including a fingerprint recognizing module including a fingerprint image recognizing unit and transmitting the fingerprint data recognized by the fingerprint image recognizing unit to the information device.  
   
   
       7 . An information device recognizing a fingerprint, the information device comprising: 
 a fingerprint data base storing registered fingerprint data;    a fingerprint verifying unit comparing fingerprint data transmitted from an external device to the fingerprint verifying unit; and    a kernel of an operating system of the information device permitting access to electronic commerce through the information device when the fingerprint verifying device determines that the transmitted fingerprint data match the registered fingerprint data, wherein the kernel determines whether the fingerprint data base has been established in the information device, recognizes that the external device and the information device have been activated and performs a fingerprint registration routine when it is determined that the fingerprint data base has not been established.    
   
   
       8 . The information device according to  claim 7 , wherein the kernel determines whether the external device is a fingerprint recognizing device when it is determined that the fingerprint data base has been established.  
   
   
       9 . The information device according to  claim 8 , wherein the external device comprises a monitor including a fingerprint recognizing module including a fingerprint image recognizing unit and transmitting the fingerprint data recognized by the fingerprint image recognizing unit to the information device.
