Abstract

The invention discloses a screen unlocking method, and is applied to an electronic device with a touch screen. The method comprises the following steps: detecting the touch operation of a user by utilizing the touch screen in a screen locking mode of the electronic device; when a touch starting position of the touch operation is detected to be in a sensing range of an unlocking graphical representation, displaying a prompt box corresponding to the unlocking graphical representation in the touch screen; when the unlocking graphical representation is dragged from the touch starting position, and the displacement of the unlocking graphical representation which is dragged in a specific axial direction is greater than a preset value, correspondingly moving the prompt box along the specific axial direction; and when a touch finishing position of the touch operation is located in the prompt box, releasing the screen locking mode, and starting an application program corresponding to the unlocking graphical representation.
