Terminal unlocking method and terminal

Abstract

The invention provides a terminal control method and a terminal. The terminal control method comprises the steps of obtaining a touch position and a touch duration both corresponding to a touch operation input through a touch screen of the terminal when the display screen of the terminal is in an off-screen state or a sleep state; respectively judging whether the touch position satisfies a preset unlocking position range and whether the touch duration satisfies a preset unlocking duration; and when the judgment result is affirmative, controlling the terminal to unlock. Through the terminal control method provided by the invention, a user of the terminal can realize terminal unlocking only by touching the screen in the preset unlocking position range for the preset unlocking duration, the operation is convenient, the unlocking speed is fast, and the fussy operation of unlocking the terminal only through turning on a power key and inputting a password is simplified. In addition, special hardware support is unnecessary, the application range is wide, and the use experience of the terminal user is efficiently improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of terminal unlocking, in particular, to a terminal unlocking method and a terminal. Background technique [0002] The unlocking methods of terminals in the related art generally include password unlocking and fingerprint unlocking, wherein password unlocking includes input methods such as patterns, numbers, and texts to unlock, but because the unlocking process needs to turn on the power button to wake up the screen first, and then input the unlocking password and unlocking pattern or unlock text to unlock, the operation is cumbersome and affects the user experience; at the same time, locking the terminal by setting a password can protect the privacy and security of the terminal owner itself, but because the terminal owner also needs to enter the password to unlock the terminal, it is impossible to realize the terminal without entering the password. The terminal can be unlocked, thereby reducing the...

Capable of unlocking the terminal, thereby degrading the user experience of the terminal owner

However, unlocking the terminal through fingerprint unlocking requires the terminal to be equipped with a fingerprint management system, which cannot meet the needs of most users and has a small scope of application.
