1. A device comprising:
- an input interface configured to receive fingerprint information;
a processor configured to;
receive the fingerprint information via the input interface,determine whether the received fingerprint information corresponds to pre-stored fingerprint information, andexecute a preset function mapped to the pre-stored fingerprint information when the received fingerprint information corresponds to the pre-stored fingerprint information,wherein the preset function comprises switching task screens, andwherein the processor is further configured to;
in response to the received fingerprint information corresponding to a first finger of a user, determine that the task screens to be switched are first task screens grouped in a first task screen group among a plurality of task screen groups, andin response to the received fingerprint information corresponding to a second finger of the user that is different than the first finger of the user, determine that the task screens to be switched are second task screens grouped in a second task screen group among the plurality of task screen groups,wherein each of the first task screen group and the second task screen group comprises any one of currently executed applications and recently used applications, andwherein the first task screen group is different than the second task screen group.

10. A method for executing a function of a device comprising:
-
receiving fingerprint information via a input interface of the device; determining, by the device, whether the received fingerprint information corresponds to pre-stored fingerprint information; and executing, by the device, a preset function mapped to the pre-stored fingerprint information when the received fingerprint information corresponds to the pre-stored fingerprint information, wherein the preset function comprises switching task screens; in response to the received fingerprint information corresponding to a first finger of a user, determining that the task screens to be switched are first task screens grouped in a first task screen group among a plurality of task screen groups; and in response to the received fingerprint information corresponding to a second finger of the user that is different than the first finger of the user, determining that the task screens to be switched are second task screens grouped in a second task screen group among the plurality of task screen groups, wherein each of the first task screen group and the second task screen group comprises any one of currently executed applications and recently used applications, and wherein the first task screen group is different than the second task screen group. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having embodied thereon a program for executing a method for executing a function of a device, the method comprising:
-
receiving fingerprint information via a input interface of the device, determining, by the device, whether the received fingerprint information corresponds to pre-stored fingerprint information, and executing, by the device, a preset function mapped to the pre-stored fingerprint information when the received fingerprint information corresponds to the pre-stored fingerprint information, wherein the preset function comprises switching task screens; in response to the received fingerprint information corresponding to a first finger of a user, determining that the task screens to be switched are first task screens grouped in a first task screen group among a plurality of task screen groups; and in response to the received fingerprint information corresponding to a second finger of the user that is different than the first finger of the user, determining that the task screens to be switched are second task screens grouped in a second task screen group among the plurality of task screen groups, wherein each of the first task screen group and the second task screen group comprises any one of currently executed applications and recently used applications, and wherein the first task screen group is different than the second task screen group. - View Dependent Claims (20)
