A fingerprint unlocking method and device

Abstract

An embodiment of the invention relates to the technical field of communication and provides a fingerprint unlocking method and a fingerprint unlocking device. The method is applied to terminal equipment with at least two operating systems and includes: receiving a fingerprint unlocking instruction which includes fingerprint characteristic data of a first fingerprint; determining a first operatingsystem corresponding to the first fingerprint according to the fingerprint unlocking instruction; if the first operating system is a current activation system, unlocking the terminal equipment under the current activation system according to the first fingerprint; if the first operating system is not the current activation system, switching to the first operating system, and unlocking the terminalequipment under the first operating system according to the first fingerprint. By the fingerprint unlocking method and the fingerprint unlocking device, the operating systems of the terminal equipment can be switched quickly, and fingerprint unlocking of the terminal equipment is realized, so that user experience is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present invention relate to the field of communication technologies, and in particular, to a fingerprint unlocking method and device. Background technique [0002] With the development of communication technology, multi-system terminals emerge as the times require. Multi-system terminals refer to terminal devices that support multiple operating systems. Users can switch to different operating systems according to different usage requirements. [0003] At present, on the terminal device, user data under different operating systems are completely isolated and cannot access each other. For different operating systems, different unlocking fingerprints can be entered. For example, if the terminal device supports three operating systems, They are respectively recorded as operating system 1, operating system 2 and operating system 3. The user enters one unlocking fingerprint for operating system 1, which is recorded as fingerprint 1, and en...

[0003] At present, on the terminal device, user data under different operating systems are completely isolated and cannot access each other. For different operating systems, different unlocking fingerprints can be entered. For example, if the terminal device supports three operating systems, They are respectively recorded as operating system 1, operating system 2 and operating system 3. The user enters one unlocking fingerprint for operating system 1, which is recorded as fingerprint 1, and enters two unlocking fingerprints for operating system 2, which are recorded as fingerprint 2 and fingerprint 3. System 3 enters three unlocking fingerprints, which are recorded as fingerprint 4, fingerprint 5 and fingerprint 6. The user can only access the operating system when using the unlocking fingerprint corresponding to a certain operating system, and cannot access other operating systems. For example, using fingerprint 1 You can unlock OS 1 and access the data under OS 1, but you cannot access OS 2 and OS 3 with fingerprint 1

[0004] However, when a user uses a terminal device, he usually switches between multiple operating systems frequently. When the terminal device is in a locked screen state, if the current activation system of the terminal device is not the operating system that the user wants to access, the user needs to Use the fingerprint of the currently activated system to unlock the terminal device first, and then switch to the operating system that the user wants to access. This may make switching between operating systems cumbersome and affect the user experience
