Abstract
An apparatus for recognizing a fingerprint includes a fingerprint sensing unit for scanning a fingerprint of a user; a storage using for storing a comparison model of the fingerprint of the user and various threshold values; a control unit for obtaining similarity between the fingerprint of the user scanned by fingerprint sensing unit and the comparison model stored in the storage unit, comparing it with a certain threshold value, and controlling a mobile terminal according to the comparison result; and a display unit for transferring a result (success or failure) of the fingerprint recognition or a request from the control unit to the user.
