Abstract:
Embodiments herein provide a dual optical and capacitance sensor. During a first time period, the dual sensor uses optical sensing to capture a fingerprint (e.g., to identify or verify the fingerprint). During a second time period, the dual sensor uses one or more capacitive sensor electrodes to perform capacitive sensing. The capacitive sensing may be absolute capacitive sensing or transcapacitive sensing.

Claim (Index 14):
A processing system, comprising:\n a sensor circuit configured to: drive a constant voltage on a sensor electrode when performing optical sensing, wherein the sensor electrode is electrically coupled to a photosensor whose output is measured when performing optical sensing and is disposed in a planar capacitive sensing layer comprising a plurality sensor electrodes; and drive an AC signal on the sensor electrode when performing capacitive sensing, wherein the sensor circuit comprises an analog front end configured to detect an input object using the AC signal when performing capacitive sensing.
