Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of terminal technology, and in particular to a pattern unlocking method, a pattern unlocking device and a storage medium. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of terminal technology, intelligent terminals (or terminals) have been widely used in various fields of work and life. Among them, the terminal is usually provided with a password lock. The password lock includes fingerprint password lock, digital password lock and pattern password lock.

[0003] In the related art, a pattern password lock can be used to lock the terminal screen and form a pattern unlocking interface on the terminal. Among them, the pattern unlocking interface is usually set with a fixed pattern, for example, it is composed of nine dots arranged in a 3*3 array. The user can slide his finger on the pattern unlocking interface and draw a thin line consistent with the sliding direction of the finger, that is, each time the finger passes through a pattern, the adjacent patterns are connected together with a connecting line, and finally a drawn unlocking pattern is formed. When the drawn unlocking pattern is consistent with the preset unlocking pattern, it means that the terminal is unlocked successfully.

[0032] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present disclosure. Instead, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0033] In the accompanying drawings, the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements with the same or similar functions. The described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all of the embodiments. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present disclosure, and should not be construed as limitations on the present disclosure. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in the field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure. The embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0034] The pattern unlocking method provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure can be applied to a terminal that uses pattern unlocking. Among them, the terminal uses a pattern lock screen to form a pattern lock screen interface. Further, triggering an unlocking operation on the pattern lock screen interface can form a pattern unlocking interface on the terminal. It can be understood that using a pattern lock screen can also be expressed as using a pattern password lock to lock the screen. Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a terminal pattern unlocking interface provided according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 1 The display interface formed by nine dots arranged in a 3*3 array on the terminal screen is the pattern unlocking interface. Pattern password locks usually include a fixed number of patterns. For example, Figure 1 Each dot displayed on the pattern unlocking interface can be understood as a pattern that makes up the pattern password lock. Figure 1 The terminal shown is in the locked screen state, and the pattern unlocking interface is displayed on the screen. The user can slide the pattern on the pattern unlocking interface to draw the unlocking pattern. During the operation of drawing the unlocking pattern, the user connects the adjacent patterns together with a connecting line each time a pattern is touched, and finally forms a series of lines to form the drawn unlocking pattern. Various unlocking patterns can be drawn by connecting several patterns with connecting lines. When the unlocking pattern drawn by the user matches the preset unlocking pattern, the screen can be unlocked.

[0035] The pattern unlocking method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure draws an unlocking pattern on the pattern unlocking interface based on the second unlocking operation to realize the process of unlocking the terminal, and also requires the user to input the first unlocking operation on the pattern unlocking interface to trigger the first visual change effect of the pattern executed to match the preset unlocking visual effect. In this way, the security of the terminal pattern unlocking can be improved to ensure that in the process of unlocking the terminal, the pattern unlocking will not be cracked due to the sliding gesture of the user drawing the unlocking pattern being easily remembered by others.

[0036] In the pattern unlocking method provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the execution subject is a terminal. It should be understood that the terminal involved in the embodiment of the present disclosure may also be referred to as a mobile terminal, a mobile station (MS), a user equipment (UE), etc. The terminal may communicate with one or more core networks via a radio access network (RAN). For example, the terminal may be a mobile phone (or cellular phone), a computer with a mobile terminal, etc. For example, the terminal may also be a portable, pocket-sized, handheld, computer-built-in or vehicle-mounted mobile device, which exchanges voice and / or data with a radio access network.

[0037] It should be further explained that the embodiments of the present disclosure Figure 1 In the embodiment, dots are used as the pattern of the pattern password lock for illustration, and the specific form of the pattern password lock is not limited in the specific embodiment. The pattern of the pattern password lock can also be a pattern such as a circle, a floating point, a miniature picture, a floating window, etc. That is, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the pattern generally refers to the interface element displayed on the touch screen of the terminal when the user touches it during the process of unlocking the terminal.

[0038] Figure 2 The figure is a flow chart of a pattern unlocking method according to an exemplary embodiment.

[0039] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the pattern unlocking method can be applied to a terminal. Figure 2 As shown, the pattern unlocking method may include step S11 and step S12, and each step will be introduced below.

[0040] In step S11, a first unlocking operation and a second unlocking operation input by a user on the pattern unlocking interface are obtained, wherein the first unlocking operation is used to trigger one or more patterns on the pattern unlocking interface to produce a first visual change effect, and the second unlocking operation is used to draw an unlocking pattern on the pattern unlocking interface.

[0041] Continue to use dots as the pattern of the pattern password lock as an example for explanation. In one embodiment, the first unlocking operation may be an operation acting on the pattern unlocking interface to trigger one or more dots to produce a first visual change effect. Among them, the first visual change effect may be a visual effect that changes the display color of one or more dots. The first visual change effect may be a visual effect that changes the display shape of one or more dots. The first visual change effect may also be a preset operation on one or more dots, and a corresponding preset visual effect may be produced. For example, two adjacent dots may be connected, and a visual effect of two adjacent dots being connected may be produced. It should be noted that the first visual effect may be adjusted according to actual conditions, and in the present disclosure, the first visual effect is not specifically limited.

[0042] In another embodiment, the second unlocking operation may be an operation in which the user slides a pattern on the pattern unlocking interface to draw an unlocking pattern. In one example, during the second unlocking operation, each time the user touches a pattern (dot), the user connects adjacent patterns (dots) together with a connecting line, and finally forms a series of lines to form a drawn unlocking pattern.

[0043] In one embodiment, a first unlock operation and a second unlock operation input by a user on a pattern unlock interface of a terminal can be obtained, and based on a first visual change effect produced by one or more patterns triggered by the first unlock operation, and an unlock pattern drawn based on the second unlock operation, it is determined whether to unlock the terminal.

[0044] In step S12, in response to the first visual change effect executed by the first unlocking operation triggering pattern matching the preset unlocking visual effect, and the unlocking pattern drawn by the second unlocking operation matching the preset unlocking pattern, the control terminal is unlocked.

[0045] Continuing with the example of the dots as the pattern of the pattern password lock described above, in one embodiment, the preset unlocking visual effect is the visual effect produced by the dot M sliding to the left, and the preset unlocking pattern is the pattern formed by sequentially connecting dots C, B, A, and E. During the application process, the first visual change effect executed by the dot M when the first unlocking operation is detected is the visual effect of making the dot M slide to the left (such as Figure 3A ), and it is detected that the unlocking pattern drawn by the second unlocking operation is a pattern formed by sequentially connecting dots C, B, A, and E (as shown in FIG. Figure 3B As shown). Since the first visual change effect executed by the first unlocking operation triggering pattern matches the preset unlocking visual effect, and the unlocking pattern drawn by the second unlocking operation matches the preset unlocking pattern, the terminal can be controlled to be unlocked.

[0046] The pattern unlocking method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure draws an unlocking pattern on the pattern unlocking interface based on the second unlocking operation to realize the process of unlocking the terminal, and also requires the user to input the first unlocking operation on the pattern unlocking interface to trigger the first visual change effect of the pattern executed to match the preset unlocking visual effect. In this way, the security of the terminal pattern unlocking can be improved to ensure that in the process of unlocking the terminal, the pattern unlocking will not be cracked due to the sliding gesture of the user drawing the unlocking pattern being easily remembered by others.

[0047] It can be understood that the preset unlocking visual effect may include various forms. For example, the preset unlocking visual effect may include a specified pattern displaying a preset color.

[0048] Figure 4A-4B A schematic diagram showing a pattern unlocking method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure is shown.

[0049] This disclosure will be presented through the following embodiments, and in combination with Figure 4A and Figure 4B The process of matching the first visual change effect executed by the first unlocking operation triggering pattern with the preset unlocking visual effect when the preset unlocking visual effect is a specified pattern displaying a preset color is described.

[0050] In one embodiment, if Figure 4A and Figure 4B As shown, the dot M in the lower right corner of the pattern unlocking interface can be designated as a designated pattern. When the dot M in the lower right corner is displayed in a preset color, such as red, it indicates that the designated pattern displays the preset color. In one example, the dot M in the lower right corner can be double-clicked to display the dot M in red. It is understandable that the dot M in the lower right corner can also be displayed in red by performing other operations on the dot M in the lower right corner, such as sliding upward. In this embodiment, the operation form for displaying the designated pattern in a preset color is not specifically limited.

[0051] In one embodiment, the above-mentioned dots are used as the pattern of the pattern password lock. The dot M in the lower right corner can be displayed in red as a preset unlock visual effect, and the pattern formed by sequentially connecting dots A, B, C, D and M can be used as the preset unlock pattern. During the application process, it is detected that the first unlock operation triggers the dot M in the lower right corner to be displayed in red (such as Figure 4A ), and it is detected that the unlocking pattern drawn by the second unlocking operation is a pattern formed by sequentially connecting dots A, B, C, D, and M (as shown in FIG. Figure 4B As shown). Since the first visual change effect executed by the first unlocking operation triggering pattern matches the preset unlocking visual effect, and the unlocking pattern drawn by the second unlocking operation matches the preset unlocking pattern, the terminal can be controlled to be unlocked.

[0052] This disclosure will illustrate the process of the pattern unlocking method through the following embodiments.

[0053] Figure 5 The figure is a flow chart of another pattern unlocking method according to an exemplary embodiment.

[0054] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 5 As shown, the pattern unlocking method may include steps S21 to S24, wherein step S21 and step S23 are respectively the same as step S11 and step S12, and their specific execution methods and beneficial effects are described above. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, no further description is given. Steps S22 and S24 will be described below.

[0055] In step S22, the pattern triggered by the first unlocking operation is a designated pattern, and the color displayed by the designated pattern triggered by the first unlocking operation is a preset color, and it is determined that the first visual change effect executed by the first unlocking operation triggering pattern matches the preset unlocking visual effect.

[0056] In step S24, in response to obtaining the first unlock operation and triggering the pattern triggered by the first unlock operation to display a color matching the first unlock operation, other patterns in the pattern unlock interface except the pattern triggered by the first unlock operation are controlled to display colors randomly.

[0057] In one embodiment, the designated pattern can be set to be the dot M in the lower right corner, the preset unlock visual effect is that the dot M in the lower right corner is displayed in red, and the preset unlock pattern is a pattern formed by sequentially connecting dots A, B, C, D, and M. During the application process, it is detected that the first unlock operation triggers the dot M in the lower right corner to be displayed in red (such as Figure 4A ), and it is detected that the unlocking pattern drawn by the second unlocking operation is a pattern formed by sequentially connecting dots A, B, C, D, and M (as shown in FIG. Figure 4B As shown). Since the first visual change effect executed by the first unlocking operation triggering pattern matches the preset unlocking visual effect, and the unlocking pattern drawn by the second unlocking operation matches the preset unlocking pattern, the terminal can be controlled to be unlocked.

[0058] Further, during the application process, when the first unlock operation is detected and the pattern triggered by the first unlock operation is displayed to match the color corresponding to the first unlock operation, for example, when it is detected that the first unlock operation triggers the specified pattern (the dot M in the lower right corner) to be displayed as a preset color (red), the other patterns (dots) in the pattern unlock interface except the pattern (the dot M in the lower right corner) triggered by the first unlock operation can be controlled to display colors randomly. In one embodiment, when the lower right corner dot M is displayed as red when the first unlock operation is triggered last time, the other dots except the dot M in the lower right corner can display colors randomly. When the lower right corner dot M is displayed as red when the first unlock operation is triggered this time, the other dots except the dot M in the lower right corner can display colors randomly. It is understandable that the colors displayed by the other dots this time may be different from the colors displayed by the other dots last time.

[0059] In this embodiment, by controlling the random display colors of other patterns in the pattern unlocking interface except the pattern triggered by the first unlocking operation, it can be ensured that the colors of other patterns in the pattern unlocking interface except the specified pattern are different each time. Therefore, it can be ensured that the preset unlocking visual effect set by the user is not easily remembered by others, thereby improving the security of terminal pattern unlocking.

[0060] This disclosure will illustrate the process of another pattern unlocking method through the following embodiments.

[0061] Figure 6 The figure is a flow chart of another pattern unlocking method according to an exemplary embodiment.

[0062] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 6 As shown, the pattern unlocking method may further include steps S31 to S38, wherein steps S31 to S34 are the same as steps S21 to S24 described above, and their specific implementation and beneficial effects are referred to above. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, no further description is given. Steps S35 to S38 will be introduced below respectively.

[0063] In step S35, in response to the user setting a preset unlock visual effect, a pattern unlock setting interface is displayed.

[0064] In one embodiment, the user can pre-set a preset unlock visual effect and display a pattern unlock setting interface. The pattern unlock setting interface can be understood as a terminal display interface for the user to set a preset unlock visual effect. The preset unlock visual effect can be set according to actual conditions or user preferences. In one embodiment, the preset unlock viewing angle effect can be a preset color for a specified pattern. In the present disclosure, no specific limitation is made to the preset unlock visual effect pre-set by the user.

[0065] In step S36, on the pattern unlock setting interface, each pattern in the pattern unlock interface is displayed in a default color.

[0066] In one embodiment, each pattern in the pattern unlock interface can be displayed in a default color on the pattern unlock setting interface. It is understandable that when the first unlock operation is not performed, each pattern in the pattern unlock interface can display a default color. In one embodiment, each pattern in the pattern unlock interface can be displayed in black. Furthermore, when the first unlock operation is used to trigger one or more patterns on the pattern unlock interface to produce a first visual change effect, the triggered one or more patterns can be displayed in colors different from the default color. In one example, when the first unlock operation is used to trigger the dot M to slide upward on the pattern unlock interface, the triggered dot M can be displayed in red. When the first unlock operation is used to trigger the dot M to slide downward on the pattern unlock interface, the triggered dot M can be displayed in green.

[0067] It is understandable that the default color displayed by each pattern in the pattern unlocking interface can be adjusted according to actual conditions. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, no specific limitation is made to the default color.

[0068] In step S37, in response to the user inputting an unlock setting operation, a pattern triggered by the unlock setting operation is determined, and the pattern triggered by the unlock setting operation is displayed in a color corresponding to the unlock setting operation, wherein different unlock setting operations correspond to different colors.

[0069] In one embodiment, when it is detected that the user inputs an unlock setting operation, a pattern triggered by the unlock setting operation is determined, and a color matched by the triggered pattern is determined and displayed, wherein different unlock setting operations may correspond to different colors.

[0070] It is understandable that the pattern triggered by the unlock setting operation may include one or more patterns. In an exemplary embodiment, the one or more patterns triggered by the unlock setting operation may be displayed as the same color or as multiple different colors.

[0071] In one embodiment, when the user inputs the unlock operation and triggers the dot M to slide to the left, the color displayed by the triggered dot M, for example, red, is determined and displayed. It is understandable that the triggered dot M displaying red can be used as a preset unlock visual effect. In another embodiment, when the user inputs the unlock operation and triggers the dot M to slide to the left and the dot N to slide upward, the colors displayed by the triggered dots M and N are determined and displayed. The colors displayed by the dots M and N can be the same or different. For example, the colors displayed by the dots M and N can both be green. It is understandable that the triggered dots M and N displaying green can be used as a preset unlock visual effect.

[0072] In step S38, the pattern triggered by the unlock setting operation is used as the designated pattern of the preset unlock visual effect, and the color of the designated pattern displayed when the unlock setting operation is triggered is used as the preset color of the preset unlock visual effect.

[0073] In one embodiment, the pattern triggered by the unlock setting operation can be used as the designated pattern of the preset unlock visual effect, and the color of the designated pattern triggered by the unlock setting operation is used as the preset color of the preset unlock visual effect. In one example, when the user inputs the unlock operation and triggers the dot M to slide to the left, the color displayed by the triggered dot M is determined and displayed, for example, red. It can be understood that the dot M triggered by the unlock setting operation is used as the designated pattern of the preset unlock visual effect, and the red color of the dot M triggered by the unlock setting operation is used as the preset color of the preset unlock visual effect. During the application process, when it is detected that the first unlock operation triggers the dot M to be displayed in red, and it is detected that the unlock pattern drawn by the second unlock operation is the preset unlock pattern, the terminal can be controlled to unlock.

[0074] The preset unlock visual effect may include various forms. For example, the preset unlock visual effect may include a specified pattern performing a specified operation.

[0075] Figure 7A-7B A schematic diagram showing another pattern unlocking method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0076] This disclosure will be presented through the following embodiments, and in combination with Fig. 7A and Figure 7B The process of matching a first visual change effect executed by a first unlocking operation triggering pattern with a preset unlocking visual effect when the preset unlocking visual effect is a specified pattern executing a specified operation is described.

[0077] In one embodiment, if Fig. 7A and Figure 7B As shown, the dot M in the lower right corner of the pattern unlocking interface can be designated as a designated pattern. When the operation performed by the dot M in the lower right corner triggered by the first unlocking operation is a sliding operation to the left, it indicates that the designated pattern performs the designated operation. It is understandable that the execution operation performed by the designated pattern can be adjusted according to actual conditions. For example, when the designated pattern is double-clicked, it can indicate that the designated pattern performs the designated operation. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, no specific limitation is made to the execution operation performed by the designated pattern.

[0078] In one example, the dots described above are used as the pattern of the pattern password lock. The operation effect of the lower right corner dot M being triggered by the first unlock operation to slide to the left can be used as the preset unlock visual effect. The pattern formed by connecting dots A, B, C, D and M in sequence can be used as the preset unlock pattern. During the application process, it is detected that the first unlock operation triggers the lower right corner dot M to slide to the left (such as Fig. 7A ), and it is detected that the unlocking pattern drawn by the second unlocking operation is a pattern formed by sequentially connecting dots A, B, C, D, and M (as shown in FIG. Figure 7B As shown). Since the first visual change effect executed by the first unlocking operation triggering pattern matches the preset unlocking visual effect, and the unlocking pattern drawn by the second unlocking operation matches the preset unlocking pattern, the terminal can be controlled to be unlocked.

[0079] As can be seen from the above description, the pattern unlocking method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure draws an unlocking pattern on the pattern unlocking interface based on the second unlocking operation to realize the process of unlocking the terminal, and also requires the user to input the first unlocking operation on the pattern unlocking interface to trigger the first visual change effect of the pattern executed to match the preset unlocking visual effect. In this way, the security of the terminal pattern unlocking can be improved to ensure that in the process of unlocking the terminal, the pattern unlocking will not be cracked because the sliding gesture of the user drawing the unlocking pattern is easily remembered by others.

[0080] Based on the same concept, the embodiment of the present disclosure also provides a pattern unlocking device.

[0081] It is understandable that the pattern unlocking device provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure includes hardware structures and / or software modules corresponding to the execution of each function in order to realize the above functions. In combination with the units and algorithm steps of each example disclosed in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the embodiment of the present disclosure can be implemented in the form of hardware or a combination of hardware and computer software. Whether a function is executed in the form of hardware or computer software driving hardware depends on the specific application and design constraints of the technical solution. Those skilled in the art may use different methods to implement the described functions for each specific application, but such implementation should not be considered to exceed the scope of the technical solution of the embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0082] Figure 8 The figure is a block diagram of a pattern unlocking device according to an exemplary embodiment.
