1. A system for capturing fingerprint data comprising:
- a user inter face configured to provide a user with a request for a fingerprint data sample;
a sensor configured to capture the fingerprint data sample wherein the sensor is configured to capture the fingerprint data sample in both a first mode and a second mode, wherein the first mode comprises a touch input mode, and the second mode comprises a swipe input mode containing greater amount of fingerprint data; and
a controller, coupled to the user interface and the sensor, the controller configured to upon receiving a request from a requesting entity for the fingerprint data sample, instruct the sensor to operate in one of the first mode or the second mode and also configured to instruct the user interface to display the request for the fingerprint data sample, and, upon receiving an indication of the fingerprint data sample from the sensor, the controller is configured to provide the captured fingerprint data sample to the requesting entity using a wireless communication component, the second mode providing access to more secure and authenticated applications, or a different functions of the device, wherein the different function comprises a function selected from a group consisting of;
turning off the device, changing to sleep mode, or access settings.

Abstract
A system for capturing fingerprint data is provided. The system comprises a sensor configured to capture fingerprint data, wherein the sensor is configured to capture fingerprint data as either a touch input or a swipe input. The system also comprises a controller that, upon receiving a request from a requesting entity for a fingerprint data sample, configured to communicate that request to the sensor and convey the captured fingerprint data to the requesting entity.

7. A method for authenticating a user, the method
comprising: - receiving, on a device with a sensor element, a request for fingerprint data from a requesting entity;
adjusting the sensor element to an indicated sensor mode wherein the sensor is configured to operate in both of a first mode, comprising a touch sensor mode, and a second mode, comprising a swipe sensor mode containing greater amount of fingerprint data, wherein the indicated sensor mode is selected, by the device with the sensor element, from the first or second mode;
capturing, using the sensor element in the indicated sensor mode a fingerprint data sample; and
delivering, using a processor of the device, the captured fingerprint data sample to the requesting entity, the second mode providing access to more secure and authenticated applications or different functions of the device, wherein the different function comprises a function selected from a group consisting of;
turning off the device, changing to sleep mode, or access settings. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
