MULTI-LAYERED SENSING WITH MULTIPLE RESOLUTIONS
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- displaying multiple icons on a display of a device;
activating a low resolution sensing component of the device to detect touches;
detecting an object touching one of the multiple icons using the low resolution sensing component; and
in response to detecting the object touching one of the multiple icons;
deactivating the low resolution sensing component; and
activating at least an area of a high resolution sensing component that corresponds to the one icon.

Abstract
A display component (108) displays multiple icons that a user can touch. A multi-layered sensing component (104) includes at least a high resolution sensing component (204) and a low resolution sensing component (202). The low resolution sensing component is activated to detect objects touching the multi-layer sensing component. In response to the low resolution sensing component detecting an object touching one of the multiple icons, the low resolution sensing component is deactivated and at least a portion of the high resolution sensing component over the touched icon is activated. The high resolution sensing component senses the user'"'"'s fingerprint, which is authenticated. After sensing the user'"'"'s fingerprint, the high resolution sensing component is deactivated and the low resolution sensing component is reactivated.
