Xiaomi released its latest thousand yuan flagship "red rice note 3", it is understood that the aircraft will be equipped with a metal body and fingerprint recognition, this phone is Xiaomi's first mobile phone with fingerprint recognition, priced at only 1,000 yuan Within.
Nowadays, press-type fingerprint recognition is no longer a patent for Apple mobile phones. A large number of Android phones also enjoy the convenience of fingerprint recognition. Even in the second half of this year, fingerprint recognition began to spread to domestic thousand yuan machines.
Why did the original fingerprint recognition become "close to the people"? Who is pushing it to the thousand yuan machine? This is starting from the past and present of "fingerprint recognition".
Type of fingerprint recognition:To understand "fingerprint recognition", we must first explain that there are two kinds of fingerprint identification solutions used on mobile phones, one is scratch-type fingerprint recognition, and the other is push-type fingerprint recognition.
The scheme of scratch-type fingerprint recognition is similar to the one adopted in our previous notebook. When used, the finger fingerprint joint should be sequentially swept from top to bottom. The first mobile phone to adopt this solution was the MB860 launched by Motorola in 2011, and the HTC ONE MAX and Samsung S5 also adopted the same fingerprint recognition solution.
However, this kind of scheme is cumbersome to operate, and requires high operational precision and low recognition rate, so it is not popular in the subsequent market.
Current mainstream push fingerprint solution provider
In contrast, in 2013, Apple's iPhone 5s was equipped with another type of fingerprint recognition "press-type fingerprinting." This solution only needs to place the finger in the fingerprint recognition area, and no additional action is required to complete the unlocking in an instant. Compared with the former, push-type fingerprint recognition has inherent advantages and a better user experience. It is the mainstream fingerprint identification solution that is still in use today.
However, within the year of the launch of the iPhone 5s, no other vendor has adopted a similar solution. Until September 2014, a year later, Huawei adopted a similar push-type fingerprinting solution on its flagship MATE 7 last year.
Could it be that Apple's unique black technology has been transferred to other manufacturers?
In fact, Apple's push-type fingerprint recognition technology Touch ID is not Apple's invention. It was an invention called AuthenTech, but before AuthenTech publicly released the technology, Apple spent $350 million to acquire it in full.
The reason why Apple does this is very simple, one is the convenience of using the technology for its own use; the other is to maintain the advantage of differentiation from competitors. This has made it almost impossible for other manufacturers to use this mature push-type fingerprinting solution.
This situation lasted for a year and was broken. In September 2014, Huawei Mate 7 was released, and its press-type fingerprint recognition technology was the most eye-catching point at the time of its release. The official claim that the fingerprint sensor is unlocked very fast, only 1 second in length, and has been unlocked during the process of taking out the phone.
Unfortunately, the pioneer of this technology is neither Huawei nor AuthenTech, which was acquired by Apple, but a company called Fingerprint Cards from Sweden.
In addition, MATE7 does not integrate fingerprint recognition on the front side like Apple, but on the back of the fuselage.
The reason is that electric technology thinks that one may be for its own ID design considerations. Second, because mate7 uses the early technology of fpc, the fingerprint module is thicker, and only a relatively large capacity can be selected for integration in the fuselage. Back.
At present, the mainstream fingerprint identification solutions on the market are all based on the solutions provided by fpc. Here, the electric technology lists a form for everyone to recognize.

The data is organized by the electric technology according to the FPC official website.
It can be seen that most of the solutions adopted by domestic manufacturers are provided by FPC. And according to the above table, the fingerprint identification scheme adopted by the thousand yuan machine is mostly the technology of fpc early rise (mainly fpc 1020 and fpc1025), and its cost is not very high (it is reported to be about 30 yuan), so it will be in China. The market is popular.
In addition to FPC, there are two companies around the world that offer similar fingerprinting solutions.
One of them is Huiding Technology from Shenzhen, China. Its main representative work is the fingerprint recognition scheme on the MX4 pro, m touch. It is also the earliest solution to apply push-type fingerprint recognition on the front of an Android phone. But unfortunately, after the completion of this project, Huiding Technology did not have new products.
The other is from SynapTIcs, a company that supplies fingerprint solutions for Samsung S6 and NOTE5. However, its program is currently only used by Samsung.
Future development direction:Fingerprint recognition has developed to the present day, and the future must be a trend. At present, FPC1145, the latest technology of FPC, has also been mass-produced, and its fingerprint recognition module is thinner and longer, so that it can be installed in the middle frame of the mobile phone and used as a power button. (There are currently Huawei glory 7i and Sony Z5p equipped with this module)
Z5P's power button is the fingerprint identification button.
At the same time, Huiding Technology is not idle. It is reported that they are developing an fingerprint identification scheme (IFS) that can be installed under the front glass panel of the mobile phone. The advantage of this scheme is that it can be used both on the front side and the mobile phone. The sense of unity on the front panel enhances the aesthetic.
In today's technological development, convenient and practical fingerprint recognition is no longer a technical barrier or a product unique to Apple. Now the market also proves that the popularity of fingerprint recognition in the future will be an irreversible trend. In the next year or later market, the addition of the fingerprint identification module will no longer be a manifestation of the differentiation of a certain mobile phone, and the lack of the fingerprint module will become the short board of the mobile phone. At present, domestic manufacturers use fingerprint identification to carry out the use of Alipay and WeChat payment. After popularization, it will be more convenient and safer for people's daily life.
1.ANTENK Flexible Printed Circuit (FPC) and Flexible Flat Cable (FFC) connectors are ZIF (zero insertion force) and LIF (low insertion force) connectors designed to provide a fast, easy, reliable method to make a connection of flexible printed circuits to a PCB. Adam Tech`s special contact design completely preserves conductor integrity by eliminating all wiping action while making connection. Flex circuitry enters the connector and the connector cap is pressed down to capture the flex circuit producing a stable, high pressure connection. Raising the cap releases the pressure for exchange or replacement of circuitry. This series includes single and dual row versions in thru-hole or SMT mounting in vertical or horizontal orientations.
