    Abstract: An apparatus including an electronic device is configured with an ultrasonic touch sensor-based virtual button. The ultrasonic sensor is disposed behind a first portion of an exterior surface of the electronic device. A processor associated with one or both of the electronic device and the ultrasonic sensor is configured to: (i) process a signal received from the ultrasonic sensor so as to acquire image data of a surface or substance in contact with the first portion of the exterior surface; and (ii) make a first determination whether or not the acquired image data is related to an intended control touch on the first portion by determining whether or not the image data is characteristic of a fingerprint or a patterned stylus.

    Abstract: A fingerprint sensing apparatus includes a fingerprint sensor system and a control system capable of receiving fingerprint sensor data from the fingerprint sensor system. The control system may determine, according to the fingerprint sensor data, whether an object is positioned proximate a portion of the fingerprint sensor system. If the control system determines that an object is positioned proximate the portion of the fingerprint sensor system, the control system may determine whether the object is a finger or a non-finger object. The control system may determine whether the fingerprint sensor data includes fingerprint image information of at least an image quality threshold.

    Abstract: A fingerprint sensing apparatus may include a fingerprint sensor system and a control system. The fingerprint sensor system may include an ultrasonic sensor array. The control system may be capable of receiving fingerprint sensor data from the fingerprint sensor system and of determining whether an object is positioned proximate a portion of the fingerprint sensor system. The control system may be capable of determining an acoustic impedance of at least a portion of an object that is positioned proximate the fingerprint sensor system. The control system may be capable of determining whether the acoustic impedance is within an acoustic impedance range corresponding to that of skin and of determining, based at least in part on the acoustic impedance, whether the object is a finger.

    Abstract: A fingerprint sensing apparatus may include a fingerprint sensor system and a control system capable of receiving fingerprint sensor data from the fingerprint sensor system. The control system may be capable of determining fingerprint sensor data blocks for at least a portion of the fingerprint sensor data and of calculating statistical variance values for fingerprint sensor data corresponding to each of the fingerprint sensor data blocks. The control system may be capable of determining, based at least in part the statistical variance values, whether an object is positioned proximate a portion of the fingerprint sensor system.

    Abstract: A mobile device may perform authentication with an authenticating entity. The mobile device may comprise a plurality of sensors and a processor. The processor may be configured to: receive an authentication request from the authenticating entity requesting authentication information; and determine if the authentication request satisfies predefined user privacy preferences. If so, the processor may be configured to: retrieve the authentication information from at least one sensor to form a trust vector in response to the authentication request and to command transmission of the trust vector to the authenticating entity for authentication.
