1. A method of controlling an apparatus that includes a fingerprint sensor system, the method comprising:
receiving, by a control system, fingerprint sensor data from the fingerprint sensor system;
detecting, by the control system and according to the fingerprint sensor data, a presence of a digit on an outer surface of the apparatus in a fingerprint sensor system area;
determining, by the control system and according to the fingerprint sensor data, a digit force or a digit pressure of the digit on the outer surface of the apparatus;
making, by the control system and according to the fingerprint sensor data, a time threshold determination, the time threshold determination comprising determining whether a length of time during which the digit force exceeds a threshold digit force or during which the digit pressure exceeds a threshold digit pressure is greater than or equal to a threshold length of time;
determining, by the control system and according to the fingerprint sensor data, a heart rate;
determining, by the control system, whether the heart rate equals or exceeds a threshold heart rate;
wherein the control system determines that the heart rate does not equal or exceed the threshold heart rate, further comprising controlling, by the control system, the apparatus to provide a prompt indicating that at least one of the one or more emergency response functions will be enabled if first specified user actions are taken; and
determining, by the control system and based at least in part on the time threshold determination, whether to enable one or more emergency response functions of the apparatus.
