1. A method comprising:
- a. getting a plurality of scanned print portions of a body part, wherein the body part is a finger and the plurality of scanned print portions comprises at least two of the following;
a tip of the finger, a bottom of the finger, a right side of the finger, and a left side of the finger;
b. identifying a first one of the plurality of scanned print portions of a user in a first area of an optical surface;
c. generating a first event based on identifying the first one of the plurality of scanned print portions of the user in the first area of the optical surface;
d. identifying a second one of the plurality of scanned print portions of the user in the first area of the optical surface; and
e. generating a second event based on identifying the second one of the plurality of scanned print portions of the user in the first area of the optical surface, wherein the second event is different from the first event.

Abstract
An optical scanner is configured to scan multiple print portions of a body part such as a finger. The optical scanner identifies a first one of the print portions in an area of an optical surface. An event such as launching an application is generated based on identifying the first print portion in the area of the optical surface. In addition, various events can be generated based on different combinations of print portions in different areas of the optical surface.
In a second embodiment, a property detector is configured to identify different properties of a sleeve in different areas of a surface. An event is generated based on the detection of a property of the sleeve in an area of the surface.

9. A system comprising:
a. an optical scanner configured to get a plurality of scanned print portions of a body part, wherein the body part is a finger and the plurality of scanned print portions comprises at least two of the following;
a tip of the finger, a bottom of the finger, a right side of the finger, and a left side of the finger, identify a first one of the plurality of scanned print portions of a user in a first area of an optical surface, generate a first event based on identifying the first one of the plurality of scanned print portions of the user in the first area of the optical surface, identify a second one of the plurality of scanned print portions of the user in the first area of the optical surface, and generate a second event based on identifying the second one of the plurality of scanned print portions of the user in the first area of the optical surface, wherein the second event is different from the first event.- View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
