    capture and store fingerprint data from the finger;

    perform at least one pre-processing step after capturing the fingerprint data from the finger while the application processor is in the low power or sleep mode; and

    after the at least one pre-processing step and upon receiving a request from the application processor for the fingerprint data deliver the fingerprint data to the application processor; and

    the application processor to;
