Wherein, control unit 200 can judge which function executed according to the information that user inputs, alternatively, control
Unit 200 can also voluntarily switch between two functions according to the pre-set information of user.Also, due to ultrasound
The frequency of wave is lower, and penetration power is stronger, therefore when judging whether there is gtoal setting electronic equipment, due to target and display screen it
Between have certain distance, therefore, ultrasonic wave mould group 100 needs to emit the ultrasonic wave of lower frequency (i.e. above-mentioned first frequency), with
Convenient for ultrasonic wave can transmit larger distance and reach target.And when executing fingerprint identification function, the frequency of ultrasonic wave is got over
The precision of height identification is higher, and since the finger of user directly contacts display screen, lower to the required distance of ultrasonic transmission,
Therefore, the ultrasonic wave that ultrasonic wave mould group 100 emits upper frequency (i.e. above-mentioned second frequency) is more suitable for fingerprint identification function.
