Abstract
The present invention discloses an apparatus and a method for detecting a touch pressure. The apparatus includes a fingerprint sensor module and a touch pressure calculating module, where the fingerprint sensor module includes a plurality of pixels, in which: the fingerprint sensor module configured to collect, via the plurality of pixels, texture information data of a body part touching the fingerprint sensor module; the touch pressure calculating module configured to calculate a touch pressure of the body part according to the collected texture information data, thereby achieving the detection of the touch pressure by virtue of an existing fingerprint sensor.
