Abstract:
A fingerprint sensing system for sensing a fingerprint pattern of a finger, comprising: a sensor array including a plurality of electrically conductive sensing structures; read-out circuitry connected to each of the sensing structures for providing sensing signals indicative of a capacitive coupling between the sensing structures and the finger; first signal providing circuitry for providing a first time-varying voltage signal to at least a portion of the sensor array; at least one electrically conductive edge-compensating structure arranged outside the sensor array; and second signal providing circuitry for providing a second time-varying voltage signal to the at least one edge-compensating structure.

Claim (Index 16):
A method of sensing a fingerprint pattern of a finger, using a finger sensing system comprising:\n a sensor array including a plurality of electrically conductive sensing structures; read-out circuitry connected to each of said sensing structures; first signal providing circuitry; at least one electrically conductive edge-compensating structure arranged outside said sensor array; and second signal providing circuitry, said method comprising the steps of: controlling said first signal providing circuitry to provide a first time-varying voltage signal to at least a portion of said sensor array; controlling said second signal providing circuitry to provide a second time-varying voltage signal to said at least one edge-compensating structure; and controlling said read-out circuitry to provide sensing signals indicative of a capacitive coupling between said sensing structures and said finger.
