Abstract
An electronic device includes a housing and a finger sensor carried by the housing to receive a fingerprint area of a user's finger adjacent thereto. A processor can be carried by the housing and connected to the finger sensor. The processor determines a plurality of finger motion patterns of the fingerprint area of the user's finger relative to the finger sensor. The processor also matches the determined finger motion patterns to stored finger motion patterns of respective characters, and may display the characters as text on a display. The finger sensor may also be used to verify the user based upon a fingerprint, for example.
