Abstract
An electronic device for acquiring biometric information may include a display, and a fingerprint sensor configured to acquire fingerprint data through at least a partial display region of the display. A processor may execute a first application in which a graphical object is displayed, for controlling a designated function other than a fingerprint registration function. A user input on the graphical object may be used to collect fingerprint information, which is used as part of a fingerprint registration function.
