Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of electronic digital data processing, and in particular relates to an electronic device unlocking method, system and storage medium. Background Art

[0002] Commonly used electronic device unlocking methods are as follows: Method 1: Password or PIN code: Most electronic devices, such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops, support unlocking by entering a password or PIN code. Users need to remember the password or PIN code they set and enter it when needed to unlock the device. Method 2: Fingerprint recognition: Many modern electronic devices, especially smartphones, are equipped with fingerprint recognition technology. Users can unlock the device by placing their fingers on the fingerprint recognition sensor without entering a password. Method 3: Facial recognition technology, namely FaceID. Users only need to align their faces with the camera on the device, and the device will recognize the user and unlock it. Method 4: Gesture or slide unlock: Some devices support unlocking through specific gestures or sliding patterns. Users need to perform specific actions on the screen to unlock the device. Method 5: Application lock: In addition to the unlocking method of the device itself, some applications may also have their own locking mechanism. Users need to enter a password or perform other operations to unlock these applications.

[0003] When using electronic devices, there is a need to lend them to others for temporary use, such as lending smartphones, tablet computers, and laptops to others for temporary use. Taking mobile phones as an example, existing unlocking methods have the following defects:

[0004] First, on a mobile phone with automatic lock screen, the screen will be automatically locked if the borrower does not operate it for a long time. There are usually only two ways to unlock it. One is for the mobile phone owner to unlock it again (for example, by password, gesture or sliding unlock, facial recognition, fingerprint recognition), but this method is more troublesome. The other is for the mobile phone owner to tell the borrower the password, but this will lead to security problems, and it is also difficult for the borrower to remember the password, which is not effective.

[0005] Second, the borrower usually uses one or part of the functions of the mobile phone, such as using one or several apps. However, the existing unlocking method usually enables all functions to be used after unlocking, which poses a security and privacy risk.

[0006] Third, in addition to the unlocking method of the device itself, some applications may also have their own locking mechanism, and users need to enter a password or perform other operations to unlock these applications. If the phone is locked, not only do you need to unlock the phone, you can also unlock the corresponding application to unlock it before you can use the application. Summary of the invention

[0007] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides an electronic device unlocking method, system and storage medium, which have the advantage of being able to temporarily unlock specific applications and solve the problems of insufficient security and privacy in the prior art.

[0008] The present invention is implemented as follows: a method for unlocking an electronic device comprises the following steps:

[0009] Perform preliminary unlocking by inputting a preliminary unlocking command;

[0010] Triggering a characteristic key or a characteristic track, wherein the characteristic key or the characteristic track is associated with a specific function or all functions of the electronic device, so that the characteristic key or the characteristic track is combined with the preliminary unlocking, thereby completing partial or full functional unlocking of the electronic device;

[0011] When some functions are unlocked and the screen is locked, the corresponding functions can be unlocked only by using the characteristic buttons or characteristic tracks;

[0012] When all functions of the device are unlocked once, the preliminary unlock command for unlocking some functions is automatically deleted.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the preliminary unlocking command includes two types, namely, a first type of preliminary unlocking command and a second type of preliminary unlocking command:

[0014] The first type of preliminary unlocking command is a password or sliding a preset track on the touch screen;

[0015] The second type of preliminary unlocking command is to actively lock the screen when all functions are unlocked.

[0016] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the feature button or feature track is associated with a specific function or all functions of the device, and the feature button or feature track includes three types, namely, first type of feature, second type of feature and third type of feature;

[0017] The first type of features are associated with all functions of the device, and the first type of features are combined with the preliminary unlocking to unlock all functions of the device;

[0018] The second type of features are associated with some functions of the device, and the second type of features are combined with the preliminary unlocking to unlock some functions of the device;

[0019] The third type of feature is associated with a certain function of the device, and the third type of feature is combined with the preliminary unlocking to unlock a specific function of the device.

[0020] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in the step of combining the characteristic key or characteristic trajectory with the preliminary unlocking to complete partial or full functional unlocking of the electronic device, the combination of the characteristic key or characteristic trajectory with the preliminary unlocking includes:

[0021] When the preliminary unlocking command is a first type of preliminary unlocking command, the first type of features, the second type of features and the third type of features may all be input before and / or after the preliminary unlocking.

[0022] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in the step of combining the characteristic key or characteristic trajectory with the preliminary unlocking to complete partial or full functional unlocking of the electronic device, the combination of the characteristic key or characteristic trajectory with the preliminary unlocking includes:

[0023] When the preliminary unlocking command is a first type of preliminary unlocking command, the characteristic key or characteristic trajectory is input during the preliminary unlocking process;

[0024] The characteristic key or characteristic track is used to mark the Nth node in the preliminary unlocking process, and the Nth node is associated with the Nth function;

[0025] The method of inputting the characteristic key or characteristic trajectory is: in the process of preliminary unlocking, the Nth node is marked to unlock the Nth function.

[0026] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the step of unlocking corresponding functions only by feature keys or feature tracks after unlocking some functions and locking the screen includes:

[0027] When some functions are unlocked and the screen is locked, the corresponding feature buttons or feature tracks are triggered;

[0028] Determine whether the corresponding feature button or feature track is the same as the feature button or feature track corresponding to the function running on the device when the screen is locked. If they are the same, end the lock screen and only turn on the function. If they are not the same, continue to maintain the lock screen state.

[0029] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the step of unlocking corresponding functions only by feature keys or feature tracks after unlocking some functions and locking the screen includes:

[0030] When some functions are unlocked and the screen is locked, triggering any operation as a feature button or feature trajectory can only unlock the functions running on the device before the screen is locked. Among them, the feature buttons or feature trajectories in triggering any operation as a feature button or feature trajectory are not limited to the feature buttons or feature trajectories corresponding to the functions running on the device when the screen is locked, but all unlocked are the functions running on the device before the screen is locked.

[0031] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the step of unlocking corresponding functions only by feature keys or feature tracks after unlocking some functions and locking the screen includes:

[0032] When some functions are unlocked and the screen is locked, triggering the required feature button or feature track will unlock the function corresponding to the required feature button or feature track.

[0033] An electronic device unlocking system includes a central processing module, wherein the central processing module is signal-connected to:

[0034] A preliminary unlocking module, for performing preliminary unlocking by inputting a preliminary unlocking command;

[0035] A secondary unlocking module triggers a characteristic key or a characteristic track, wherein the characteristic key or the characteristic track is associated with a specific function or all functions of the electronic device, so that the characteristic key or the characteristic track is combined with the initial unlocking, thereby completing partial or full functional unlocking of the electronic device;

[0036] Lock screen wake-up module, when some functions are unlocked and the screen is locked, the corresponding functions can be unlocked only by feature buttons or feature tracks;

[0037] The unlock command deletion module automatically deletes the initial unlock command for unlocking some functions after all functions of the device are unlocked.

[0038] A storage medium stores the electronic device unlocking system.

[0039] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0040] When the electronic device is lent to others for use, the following functions can be achieved through this setting:

[0041] First, if the borrower does not operate the phone for a long time and the screen is locked, he only needs to trigger the characteristic button or characteristic track to unlock the function again. The owner of the phone does not need to unlock the phone again, nor does he need to tell the borrower the password. He only needs to tell the borrower the characteristic button or characteristic track. On the one hand, the characteristic button or characteristic track is usually shorter and easier to remember than the password. On the other hand, the borrower only knows the characteristic button or characteristic track and cannot continue to use the device after the current use.

[0042] Second, when unlocking, there are two unlocking results: first, when the owner of the mobile phone uses it, the feature button or feature trajectory is combined with the preliminary unlocking to complete the unlocking of all functions of the electronic device, and the electronic device can be used normally at this time (the feature button or feature trajectory described here is associated with all functions of the device); second, when lending it to others for use, the feature button or feature trajectory is combined with the preliminary unlocking to complete the unlocking of some functions of the electronic device (the feature button or feature trajectory described here is associated with some functions of the device), and the borrower cannot use other functions, therefore, security and privacy can be guaranteed.

[0043] Third, when some functions are unlocked and the screen is locked, specific functions (such as applications, folders, etc.) associated with the feature keys can be unlocked only through feature keys or feature tracks; there is no need to unlock the electronic device first and then unlock specific functions (such as applications, folders, etc.), thereby preventing the passwords of specific functions (such as applications, folders, etc.) from being leaked (for example, applications and folders also have passwords), and enabling specific functions more conveniently.

[0044] Fourth, when the borrower has finished using the device, once the device user has unlocked all the functions of the device, the partial function unlocking operation can be automatically deleted, and the partial function unlocking function can be released without other operations, which is more convenient. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0045] Figure 1 is a flowchart of a method for unlocking an electronic device provided by an embodiment of the present invention;

[0046] Figure 2 It is a structural block diagram of an electronic device unlocking system provided by an embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0047] In order to further understand the content, features and effects of the present invention, the following embodiments are given as examples and described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0048] The structure of the present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0049] See also Figure 1 , an electronic device unlocking method provided by an embodiment of the present invention comprises the following steps:

[0050] Step S1, performing preliminary unlocking by inputting a preliminary unlocking command;

[0051] Step S2, triggering a characteristic key or a characteristic track, wherein the characteristic key or the characteristic track is associated with a specific function or all functions of the electronic device, so that the characteristic key or the characteristic track is combined with the preliminary unlocking, thereby completing partial or full functional unlocking of the electronic device;

[0052] Step S3, after unlocking some functions and locking the screen, the corresponding functions can be unlocked only by using the characteristic keys or characteristic tracks;

[0053] Step S4, when all functions of the device are unlocked once, the preliminary unlocking command for unlocking some functions is automatically deleted.

[0054] When an electronic device is lent to others for use, this setting enables the following functions:

[0055] First, if the borrower does not operate the phone for a long time and the screen is locked, he only needs to trigger the characteristic button or characteristic track to unlock the function again. The owner of the phone does not need to unlock the phone again, nor does he need to tell the borrower the password. He only needs to tell the borrower the characteristic button or characteristic track. On the one hand, the characteristic button or characteristic track is usually shorter and easier to remember than the password. On the other hand, the borrower only knows the characteristic button or characteristic track and cannot continue to use the device after the current use.

[0056] Second, when unlocking, there are two unlocking results: first, when the owner of the mobile phone uses it, the feature button or feature trajectory is combined with the preliminary unlocking to complete the unlocking of all functions of the electronic device, and the electronic device can be used normally at this time (the feature button or feature trajectory described here is associated with all functions of the device); second, when lending it to others for use, the feature button or feature trajectory is combined with the preliminary unlocking to complete the unlocking of some functions of the electronic device (the feature button or feature trajectory described here is associated with some functions of the device), and the borrower cannot use other functions, therefore, security and privacy can be guaranteed.

[0057] Third, when some functions are unlocked and the screen is locked, specific functions (such as applications, folders, etc.) associated with the feature keys can be unlocked only through feature keys or feature tracks; there is no need to unlock the electronic device first and then unlock specific functions (such as applications, folders, etc.), thereby preventing the passwords of specific functions (such as applications, folders, etc.) from being leaked (for example, applications and folders also have passwords), and enabling specific functions more conveniently.

[0058] Fourth, when the borrower has finished using the device, once the device user has unlocked all the functions of the device, the partial function unlocking operation can be automatically deleted, and the partial function unlocking function can be released without other operations, which is more convenient.

[0059] Assume that the mobile phone uses the unlocking method described above. The following is a specific example:

[0060] 1. Initial unlocking:

[0061] After pressing the power button, user A (the owner of the mobile phone) needs to enter a preset password or slide the unlock pattern to complete the initial unlocking. At this time, the mobile phone is in standby mode.

[0062] 2. Feature buttons are associated with specific functions:

[0063] User A sets a specific long press of the volume + key as a feature key, and this feature key is associated with a function called "borrowing mode".

[0064] 3. Some functions are unlocked:

[0065] When user A wants to lend his mobile phone to user B, after initially unlocking it, user A long-presses the volume + button to enter "borrowing mode". At this point, only some functions of the mobile phone are unlocked, such as phone calls, text messages, and some pre-installed applications, while some sensitive applications (such as banking applications, photo galleries, etc.) remain locked. It should be noted that feature buttons are not limited to the volume + button. Multiple feature buttons or feature tracks can be set, and each feature button or feature track can correspond to one or more functions. For example, feature button 1 is associated with function 1, feature button 2 is associated with function 2, and so on... or feature button 1 is associated with function 1 plus function 2, feature button 2 is associated with function 5 plus function 8...

[0066] 4. Quick unlock after lock screen:

[0067] If the phone is automatically locked due to inactivity for a period of time during the borrowing process, user B only needs to long press the volume + button again to quickly re-enter the "borrowing mode" without having to enter the password or slide to unlock again.

[0068] 5. All functions of the device are unlocked after it is returned:

[0069] When user B returns the phone, user A unlocks the phone and long-presses the volume down button (taking the volume down button as an example, which is associated with all functions of the device) to enter the "normal use mode". At this time, the phone will be restored to the unlocked state with all functions, that is, all applications and functions can be used. It should be noted that when user A unlocks the device in the normal use mode, he also needs to use a combination of a password and a characteristic button or a characteristic track to complete the unlocking.

[0070] 6. Automatically delete some functions unlocked:

[0071] When user A completes unlocking all functions of the device, the system automatically deletes the previously set "borrowing mode" operation, so that the next time user A needs to borrow a mobile phone again, he needs to reset the "borrowing mode".

[0072] Through the above method, when the mobile phone owner lends out the mobile phone, it can ensure that some functions of the mobile phone can be used, and the security of sensitive and private information is ensured. At the same time, for the borrower, there is no need to remember complex passwords, but only to understand simple feature key operations.

[0073] Moreover, in this way, even if the user uses it by himself and only unlocks some functions, it can also save power and computing resources (such as traffic), because other functions are not running in the background of the device at this time, and the required functions can be quickly enabled.

[0074] Furthermore, the preliminary unlocking command includes two types, namely, a first type of preliminary unlocking command and a second type of preliminary unlocking command:

[0075] The first type of preliminary unlocking command is a password or sliding a preset track on the touch screen;

[0076] The second type of preliminary unlocking command is to actively lock the screen when all functions are unlocked.

[0077] Further, the feature button or feature track is associated with a specific function or all functions of the device, and the feature button or feature track includes three types, namely, first-type features, second-type features, and third-type features;

[0078] The first type of features are associated with all functions of the device, and the first type of features are combined with the preliminary unlocking to unlock all functions of the device;

[0079] The second type of features are associated with some functions of the device, and the second type of features are combined with the preliminary unlocking to unlock some functions of the device;

[0080] The third type of feature is associated with a certain function of the device, and the third type of feature is combined with the preliminary unlocking to unlock a specific function of the device.

[0081] Specific examples of how to use the first, second, and third types of features are as follows:

[0082] The first type of features: all functions associated with the device

[0083] Directions:

[0084] 1. User A (the phone owner) first performs a preliminary unlock, such as entering a password or sliding an unlock pattern.

[0085] 2. Next, user A uses the first type of feature, such as long pressing the power button for 3 seconds. This long pressing of the power button is a first type of feature and is associated with all functions of the device.

[0086] 3. When user A completes this operation, the phone will be completely unlocked and all functions and applications can be used.

[0087] The second type of features: some functions related to the device

[0088] Directions:

[0089] 1. After initial unlocking, user A wants to lend his phone to user B, but only wants user B to be able to use some of the functions.

[0090] 2. At this time, user A uses the second type of feature, such as double-clicking the volume down button. This double-clicking the volume down button is a second type of feature and is associated with some functions of the mobile phone, such as making calls, sending text messages, and some pre-installed applications.

[0091] 3. After the screen is automatically locked, if user B completes the second type of feature operation again, the phone will only unlock these functions, and other sensitive or private functions will remain locked.

[0092] The third type of feature: related to a function of the device

[0093] Directions:

[0094] 1. After initial unlocking, user A wants to lend his phone to user B, but only wants user B to use a specific application, such as the camera.

[0095] 2. At this time, user A uses the third type of feature, such as shaking the phone three times quickly. This action of shaking the phone is the third type of feature and is associated with the camera function of the phone.

[0096] 3. After the screen is automatically locked, if user B completes the third feature again, the phone will directly open the camera app without entering the app list or desktop.

[0097] Through these specific examples, we can see that the first, second and third types of features provide users with different levels of unlocking and function access rights, which not only meet the user's usage needs in different occasions, but also ensure the security and privacy of the device. At the same time, the design of these features also fully considers the convenience and intuitiveness of user operation.

[0098] Furthermore, in the step of combining the characteristic key or characteristic trajectory with the preliminary unlocking to complete partial or full functional unlocking of the electronic device, the combination of the characteristic key or characteristic trajectory with the preliminary unlocking includes:

[0099] When the preliminary unlocking command is a first type of preliminary unlocking command, the first type of features, the second type of features and the third type of features may all be input before and / or after the preliminary unlocking.

[0100] This technical solution is relatively simple, and can enable more functions, and is relatively simple and easy to remember. For example, feature 1 is set to enable the first function, feature 2 is set to unlock the second function, feature 3 is set to unlock the third function, and so on... You can first enter the corresponding feature and then perform a preliminary unlock, or perform a preliminary unlock first and then enter the corresponding feature. You can also divide the feature into two parts, one part is completed before the preliminary unlock, and the other part is completed after the preliminary unlock. It should be noted that the first, second and third category features can be set with any non-overlapping numbers, punctuation marks, symbols, trajectories and their combinations.

[0101] Furthermore, in the step of combining the characteristic key or characteristic trajectory with the preliminary unlocking to complete partial or full functional unlocking of the electronic device, the combination of the characteristic key or characteristic trajectory with the preliminary unlocking includes:

[0102] When the preliminary unlocking command is a first type of preliminary unlocking command, the characteristic key or characteristic trajectory is input during the preliminary unlocking process;

[0103] The characteristic key or characteristic track is used to mark the Nth node in the preliminary unlocking process, and the Nth node is associated with the Nth function;

[0104] The method of inputting the characteristic key or characteristic trajectory is: in the process of preliminary unlocking, the Nth node is marked to unlock the Nth function.

[0105] There are two ways:

[0106] Method 1: During the initial unlocking process, mark the Nth node, and then continue to complete the remaining nodes of the initial unlocking to unlock the Nth function.

[0107] Method 2: During the initial unlocking process, mark the Nth node to directly unlock the Nth function;

[0108] Exemplarily, the marking includes at least one of multi-click, long press, and line drawing. The multi-click can be set to double-click, triple-click, etc., the long press can be set to a preset time, and the line drawing can be set to circle or specific line.

[0109] The following is an exemplary description of the first method: the initial unlocking is to enter a password (each password is a node), and the mark is double-clicking (one of the multi-click operations) and the operation is:

[0110] For example, if the complete key for the initial unlock is X1X2X3X4X5X6, then X1 is the first node, X2 is the second node, X3 is the third node, and so on... and if the number of functions to be enabled is less than 6, then X1 corresponds to the first function, X2 corresponds to the second function, X3 corresponds to the third function, and so on... If you need to enable the first function, enter X1X1X2X3X4X5X6, if you need to enable the second function, enter X1X2X2X3X4X5X6, if you need to enable the third function, enter X1X2X3X3X4X5X6, and so on... For example, if the borrower is using the third function, if the screen is automatically locked, he only needs to enter X3 to re-unlock the third function, but if other keys are entered, no function will be unlocked.

[0111] For example, if the unlock password is 490836, then the value 4 is the first node, the value 9 is the second node, the value 0 is the third node, and so on... Then the value 4 corresponds to the first function, the value 9 corresponds to the second function, the value 0 corresponds to the third function, and so on... If you need to turn on the first function, enter 4490836, when you need to turn on the second function, enter 4990836, when you need to turn on the third function, enter 4900836, and so on... For example, if the borrower is using the third function, if the screen is automatically locked, you only need to enter 0 to re-unlock the third function, and pressing any other buttons will not turn on any function of the phone.

[0112] It should be noted that in this setting, adjacent passwords cannot overlap, otherwise confusion will occur. For example, if the password is 440836 and 4440836 is entered, it will not be understood whether function 1 or function 2 needs to be unlocked. In this case, the length of the time interval can be introduced to distinguish them, for example, 444 can be distinguished as 4, 44 or 44, 4.

[0113] Of course, long pressing can solve this problem. For example, long press when entering the first 4, and enter normally when entering the second 4 to turn on the first function, otherwise the second function will be turned on.

[0114] When the mark is long press, for example, the keys for initial unlocking are X1X2X3X4X5X6, when X1 is input, long press X1 to unlock the function corresponding to X1.

[0115] When the mark is a line, for example, the initial unlocking keys are X1X2X3X4X5X6, when X1 is input, a line is drawn on X1 (for example, a circle is drawn), and the function corresponding to X1 can be unlocked.

[0116] It should be noted that the Nth function described in the above description may correspond to only one APP or folder, or may correspond to multiple APPs or folders. For example, the Nth function may correspond to "Folder 2" and a certain APP, and after unlocking, "Folder 2" and the APP can be used.

[0117] The following is an exemplary description of the second method: the initial unlocking is to enter a password (each password is a node), and the mark is to draw a circle (one of the line drawing operations). The operation is:

[0118] For example, if the complete key for initial unlocking is X1X2X3X4X5X6, then X1 is the first node, X2 is the second node, X3 is the third node, and so on... and if the number of functions to be enabled is less than 6, then X1 corresponds to the first function, X2 corresponds to the second function, X3 corresponds to the third function, and so on... If the first function needs to be enabled, first enter X1 and then circle it, and the first function can be enabled without subsequent operations; if the second function needs to be enabled, first enter X1X2 and then circle it, and the second function can be enabled without subsequent operations; if the third function needs to be enabled, first enter X1X2X3 and then circle it, and the third function can be enabled without subsequent operations, and so on... For example, if the borrower uses the third function, if the screen is automatically locked, only the third function can be unlocked by entering a circle, but if other keys are entered, no function will be unlocked. In this way, the operation is faster. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the function corresponding to X1 has the weakest confidentiality level, and the function corresponding to X1 can be set to a function with weaker security requirements, such as a camera.

[0119] If it is used normally (all functions are unlocked) and the screen is turned off actively, and then a certain feature button or feature track is input, only the functions associated with the feature button or feature track can be enabled.

[0120] The function associated with a feature button or feature track can be to unlock some functions or all functions. For example:

[0121] After normal use (unlocking all functions) and actively turning off the screen, turn the screen on again. At this time, if the screen is in the locked state, you only need to enter the first type of feature to use it normally again (unlock all functions). Compared with re-entering all passwords, this solution is simpler to operate.

[0122] After normal use (unlocking all functions) and actively turning off the screen, the screen is turned on again. At this time, in the locked screen state, you only need to enter the second or third type of features to unlock only the corresponding functions, thereby switching the device from unlocking all functions mode to unlocking some functions mode, which can save power and computing resources (such as traffic)

[0123] Furthermore, the step of unlocking corresponding functions only by using feature keys or feature tracks after unlocking some functions and locking the screen includes:

[0124] When some functions are unlocked and the screen is locked, the corresponding feature buttons or feature tracks are triggered;

[0125] Determine whether the corresponding feature button or feature track is the same as the feature button or feature track corresponding to the function running on the device when the screen is locked. If they are the same, end the lock screen and only turn on the function. If they are not the same, continue to maintain the lock screen state.

[0126] Furthermore, the step of unlocking corresponding functions only by using feature keys or feature tracks after unlocking some functions and locking the screen includes:

[0127] When some functions are unlocked and the screen is locked, triggering any operation as a feature button or feature trajectory can only unlock the functions running on the device before the screen is locked. Among them, the feature buttons or feature trajectories in triggering any operation as a feature button or feature trajectory are not limited to the feature buttons or feature trajectories corresponding to the functions running on the device when the screen is locked, but all unlocked are the functions running on the device before the screen is locked.

[0128] Furthermore, the step of unlocking corresponding functions only by using feature keys or feature tracks after unlocking some functions and locking the screen includes:

[0129] When some functions are unlocked and the screen is locked, triggering the required feature button or feature track will unlock the function corresponding to the required feature button or feature track.

[0130] For example, feature button X1 corresponds to function 1, and feature button X2 corresponds to function 2. When the screen is locked, the device runs function 1. After the screen is locked, if feature button X1 is triggered, only function 1 can be unlocked, and if feature button X2 is triggered, only function 2 can be unlocked, and so on. Through this setting, you can jump from one partial function to another partial function, and turn on some functions of the device at the same time, which is convenient for saving power and computing resources.

[0131] An electronic device unlocking system includes a central processing module, wherein the central processing module is signal-connected to:

[0132] A preliminary unlocking module, for performing preliminary unlocking by inputting a preliminary unlocking command;

[0133] A secondary unlocking module triggers a characteristic key or a characteristic track, wherein the characteristic key or the characteristic track is associated with a specific function or all functions of the electronic device, so that the characteristic key or the characteristic track is combined with the initial unlocking, thereby completing partial or full functional unlocking of the electronic device;

[0134] Lock screen wake-up module, when some functions are unlocked and the screen is locked, the corresponding functions can be unlocked only by feature buttons or feature tracks;

[0135] The unlock command deletion module automatically deletes the initial unlock command for unlocking some functions after all functions of the device are unlocked.
