There are provided systems and methods for biometric authentication during voice data transfers. A user may initiate voice communications with a service provider endpoint that provides automated services to the user through the voice or audio communications, such as an interactive voice response (IVR) system where a user may navigate menus through audio commands. The user may by required to authenticate their identity during the phone call or other voice data transfer, which may be done by entering a biometric, such as a fingerprint. The biometric may be converted to biometric feature data and provided to one or more token service providers. The token service providers may provide one or more tokens for the biometric, which may be used as the authentication token. This token may then be transmitted to the IVR system through the user's endpoint using a dialer feature of the endpoint.

A method for controlling rotation of an image displayed in a display screen includes establishing a coordinate system with an origin being set at a center of the display screen. The coordinate system includes a coordinate plane in parallel to an average plane associated with the display screen. The method further includes dividing the coordinate plane to four azimuth intervals corresponding respectively to four display modes with four boundary lines being all intersected at the origin of the coordinate system. Additionally, the method includes defining a respective buffer region in a respective angular range around a respective boundary line. Furthermore, the method includes determining whether an azimuth angle of a gravity acceleration vector component in the coordinate plane is kept in a respective azimuth interval corresponding to a current display mode of the image including two buffer regions respectively associated with two boundary lines of the respective azimuth interval.

This application relates to the field of communications technologies, and provides ambient light and optical proximity detection methods, a photographing method, and a terminal, so that an entire display screen of the terminal is used to display a user interface, and this improves user experience. The method specifically includes: controlling, by a terminal, some areas of a display screen to display a black picture for a plurality of times; and when the areas display the black picture, obtaining an intensity of ambient light detected by an ambient light sensor to adjust luminance of the display screen.

Disclosed is an electronic device, including: a housing, which is provided with an opening; a functional module retractable into the housing or extendable out of the housing through the opening; and a driving mechanism, which is arranged in the housing. The driving mechanism includes a driving source, a lead screw, a nut set, and a caliper. The driving source is drivingly connected to the lead screw. The nut set includes a fitting part, and the fitting part is threadedly fitted with the lead screw.

In a computer-implemented method, a portion of an electronic document is displayed on a touch screen display of a portable multifunction device. The displayed portion has a vertical position and a horizontal position in the electronic document. An object is detected on or near the displayed portion of the electronic document. In response to detecting the object, a vertical bar and a horizontal bar are displayed on top of the displayed portion. The vertical bar has a vertical position on top of the displayed portion that corresponds to the vertical position in the electronic document of the displayed portion. The horizontal bar has a horizontal position on top of the displayed portion that corresponds to the horizontal position in the electronic document of the displayed portion. After a predetermined condition is met, display of the vertical bar and of the horizontal bar is ceased.
