Abstract

An application-executing method using fingerprint recognition includes obtaining an image of a first fingerprint through a fingerprint sensor and recognizing the first fingerprint, executing a first application corresponding to the first fingerprint in a first screen when the first fingerprint is recognized, obtaining an image of a second fingerprint through the fingerprint sensor and recognizing the second fingerprint, determining whether the second fingerprint is recognized within a predetermined time after the first application is executed, and, based on a determination result, when it is determined that the second fingerprint is recognized within the predetermined time after the first application is executed, generating a second screen by splitting the first screen, and executing the first application on one of the second screen, and a second application corresponding to the second fingerprint on the other of the second screen.
