Apparatus and method for detecting fingerprint

The invention discloses a device and a method for detecting fingerprints, which are used for improving the device structure related to fingerprint detection and improving the fingerprint detection efficiency. The device comprises a touch control module located on a surface of the device for receiving touch operation of an organism; sending a first trigger signal to the fingerprint module. The fingerprint module is connected with the touch module and located at the lower layer of the touch module, and is used for scanning the organism and obtaining fingerprint data. Sending the fingerprint datato a processor. The processor is connected with the fingerprint module, and is used for performing fingerprint verification according to the fingerprint data to obtain a fingerprint verification result. 本公开是关于种检测指纹的装置及方法，用于改进指纹检测相关的器件结构，提高指纹检测效率。所述装置包括：触控模组，位于所述装置的表面，用于接收生物体的触摸操作；向指纹模组发送第触发信号；指纹模组，与所述触控模组连接，位于触控模组的下层，用于对所述生物体进行扫描，获取指纹数据；向处理器发送所述指纹数据；处理器，与所述指纹模组连接，用于根据所述指纹数据进行指纹验证，获得指纹验证结果。
