A flare display method for limiting the effects of a flare leakage, applied to an electronic device, wherein the method comprises: detecting (S110), by a touch sensor of the electronic device, a pressing operation in a fingerprint detection region of a finger pressing the finger detection region of the touch sensor; determining (S120), by the touch sensor, a pressing area of the pressing operation, wherein the pressing area is a contact area between the finger and the finger detection region; determining (S120), by the touch sensor, whether the pressing area is greater than or equal to a first threshold; determining (S130), by the touch sensor, whether the pressing area is less than a second threshold; generating (S140), by the touch sensor, a first-type fingerprint event and reporting the first-type fingerprint event to a touch driver when it is determined that the pressing area is greater than or equal to the first threshold and less than the second threshold; and intercepting (S180), by the touch driver, the first-type fingerprint event after it is determined that a light intensity level of an environment in which the electronic device is located is a first light intensity level; reporting (S190), by the touch driver to a fingerprint driver the first-type fingerprint event after it is determined that the light intensity level of the environment in which the electronic device is located is a second light intensity level, wherein the second light intensity level is higher than the first light intensity level; and generating (S1100), by the touch sensor, a second-type fingerprint event, and reporting, by the touch sensor to the touch driver, the second-type fingerprint event after it is determined that the pressing area is greater than the second threshold. detecting (S110), by a touch sensor of the electronic device, a pressing operation in a fingerprint detection region of a finger pressing the finger detection region of the touch sensor; determining (S120), by the touch sensor, a pressing area of the pressing operation, wherein the pressing area is a contact area between the finger and the finger detection region; determining (S120), by the touch sensor, whether the pressing area is greater than or equal to a first threshold; determining (S130), by the touch sensor, whether the pressing area is less than a second threshold; generating (S140), by the touch sensor, a first-type fingerprint event and reporting the first-type fingerprint event to a touch driver when it is determined that the pressing area is greater than or equal to the first threshold and less than the second threshold; and intercepting (S180), by the touch driver, the first-type fingerprint event after it is determined that a light intensity level of an environment in which the electronic device is located is a first light intensity level; reporting (S190), by the touch driver to a fingerprint driver the first-type fingerprint event after it is determined that the light intensity level of the environment in which the electronic device is located is a second light intensity level, wherein the second light intensity level is higher than the first light intensity level; and generating (S1100), by the touch sensor, a second-type fingerprint event, and reporting, by the touch sensor to the touch driver, the second-type fingerprint event after it is determined that the pressing area is greater than the second threshold. <EOS>
