1. An electronic device comprising:
- a touchscreen, wherein the touchscreen includes;
drive lines;
sense lines;
a photoconductive material; and
one or more biosensing areas;
a touchscreen engine, wherein when a touchscreen mode is activated, the touchscreen engine is configured to couple with the sense lines and determine a place on the touchscreen where a user touched the touchscreen with a finger; and
a biosensor engine, wherein when a biosensing mode is activated, the biosensor engine is configured to determine biometrics of the user when the user touches at least one of the one or more biosensing areas.

Abstract
Particular embodiments described herein provide for an electronic device that can be configured to include a touchscreen that includes one or more biosensors. The touchscreen can include drive lines, sense lines, a photoconductive material, one or more biosensing areas, a touchscreen engine, and a biosensor engine. In a touchscreen mode, the touchscreen engine can be configured to couple with the sense lines and determine a place on the touchscreen where a user touched. In a biosensing mode, the biosensor engine can be configured to use the drive lines or sense lines and determine biometrics of the user.
