BIOMETRIC SCANNING ARRANGEMENT AND METHODS THEREOF
First Claim
1. A method for employing a biometric scanning arrangement to manage a set of actions performed on a mobile device, comprising:
- setting said biometric scanning arrangement to a mode, wherein said mode including at least one of a navigation mode and a matching mode;
capturing an image of a unique physiological feature, wherein said capturing is performed by a biometric sensor; and
performing said set of actions associated with said image for said mode, wherein said set of actions is other than authentication of a user possessing said unique physiological feature.
