Abstract:
Some methods may involve determining whether an object is positioned on or near a portion of a fingerprint sensor system. If an object is positioned on or near the portion of the fingerprint sensor system, an acoustic impedance of at least a portion of the object may be determined. Based at least in part on the acoustic impedance, it may be determined whether the object is a finger.
