This application is related to the following applications: U.S. patent application Ser. No. 14/142,657, “Embedded Authentication Systems in an Electronic Device,” filed Dec. 27, 2013, now U.S. Pat. No. 9,134,896, issued on Sep. 15, 2015; U.S. patent application Ser. No. 14/142,669, “Embedded Authentication Systems in an Electronic Device,” filed Dec. 27, 2013; and U.S. patent application Ser. No. 14/142,674, “Embedded Authentication Systems in an Electronic Device,” filed Dec. 27, 2013, now U.S. Pat. No. 9,038,167, issued on May 19, 2015, which are incorporated herein by reference herein in their entirety.
A sensor 720 may be placed in, adjacent to or behind any button or other physical input that a user may press in an electronic device. For example, a sensor 720 may be placed behind a 'home button of a portable media player or cellular telephone (e.g., button 812, FIG. 8B). Sensor 720 may be placed between an outer cover or surface (e.g., a glass or plastic surface) and a mechanical component operative to interact with a switch or electronic circuit. For example, an fingerprint sensing mechanism may be embedded underneath a transparent surface operative through which the sensing mechanism may detect a user's fingerprint ridges and valleys. In some embodiments, no additional transparent surface may be necessary (e.g., if the sensing mechanism includes a surface on which a user may place a finger).
