FINGERPRINT RECOGNITION METHODS AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE

An electronic device and fingerprint-recognition method are provided. The method includes: transmitting first part registered fingerprint datasets to the first processing unit; obtaining second part registered fingerprint datasets; obtaining a verification fingerprint image; transmitting the verification fingerprint image to the first processing unit to generate verification fingerprint data; dividing the verification fingerprint data into first part and second part verification fingerprint data; comparing the verification fingerprint data with the registered fingerprint datasets to generate a first matching result and matching information; transmitting the first matching result, the first part verification fingerprint data and the matching information to the second processing unit; comparing the first part verification fingerprint data with one of the first part registered fingerprint datasets to generate a second matching result according to the matching information; and comparing the first matching result and the second matching result to verify the verification fingerprint data.
