Electronic device for authenticating based on biometric data and operating method thereof
First Claim
1. An electronic device comprising:
- a memory configured to store biometric authentication information of a plurality of external electronic devices and a plurality of identification information respectively corresponding to the plurality of external electronic devices, the plurality of external electronic devices comprising sensors configured to acquire biometric data corresponding to the biometric authentication information; and
a processor,wherein the processor is configured to;
detect an input for an authentication,select at least one external electronic device from among the plurality of external electronic devices for the authentication,transmit a request for the authentication to the at least one external electronic device, using at least one identification information corresponding to the at least one external electronic device from among the plurality of identification information, andperform the authentication, based at least on authentication information received from the at least one external electronic device and the biometric authentication information,wherein the authentication information is obtained, by the at least one external electronic device, from a user after the at least one external electronic device receives the request for the authentication.

Abstract
The present disclosure relates generally to a device and method for performing authentication using biometric data in an electronic device. The electronic device can include a memory for storing biometric authentication information about one or more external electronic devices and one or more identification information corresponding to each of the one or more external electronic devices, the one or more external electronic devices including sensors configured to acquire biometric data corresponding to the biometric authentication information, and a processor. The processor can be configured to receive a request related with authentication, to select at least one external electronic device from among the one or more external electronic devices in relation with the authentication, to transmit a request for authentication to the at least one external electronic device, using at least one identification information corresponding to the at least one external electronic device from among the one or more identification information, and to perform the authentication based at least on authentication information received from the at least one external electronic device and the biometric authentication information.
