Abstract

A fingerprint authentication method and system and a terminal supporting a fingerprint authentication are provided. The fingerprint authentication method includes the following steps: a fingerprint receiving step: receiving fingerprint information input by a user; and a fingerprint template matching step: selecting a fingerprint template that has a highest using frequency from fingerprint templates on which matching has not been performed, and matching the fingerprint template with the fingerprint information. A fingerprint authentication succeeds when the fingerprint template matches with the fingerprint information, and the fingerprint template matching step is re-performed when the fingerprint template fails to match with the fingerprint information.
