Application Startup Method with Parallel Identity Verification
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing methods for starting application programs on terminals require numerous operation steps, especially when there are a large number of applications, leading to a poor user experience.
Innovation Solution
An application program startup method that involves acquiring an application display instruction upon activation of an application selection entry, controlling the display to show application icons, acquiring a selection instruction for an icon, and upon successful identity verification, executing the unlocking operation and starting the corresponding application program.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the terminal displays a large number of application icons for user selection, then the variety of available applications increases, but the time required to search and locate the desired application increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by displaying application icons in advance during the unlock process. Instead of requiring users to first unlock then search for applications, the application selection interface is prepared and displayed simultaneously with the unlock authentication, allowing users to select their desired application while the system is already preparing to launch it.
Solution Approach 2:
The unlock process is segmented into two independent parallel tasks: identity verification and application selection. Users can perform these tasks simultaneously or in any order, rather than sequentially. The system divides the traditional linear workflow (unlock → find app → launch) into concurrent operations that reduce total completion time.
2Reliability
If the system requires identity verification before displaying application icons, then security is maintained, but the number of operation steps increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges the identity verification process and application selection process into a single unified interface. Both functions are displayed and operable simultaneously on the same screen, eliminating the need to navigate between separate screens or complete one process before starting the other. This reduces the total number of operation steps while maintaining security requirements.
3Reliability
If the terminal requires multiple operation steps to start an application, then security and system control are improved, but user experience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts the unlock interface based on user interaction. When users hover over or touch an application icon, the system dynamically updates the interface to highlight the selected application and prepare its launch parameters. This dynamic responsiveness allows the system to maintain security protocols while adapting to user intent in real-time, reducing perceived operational complexity.

AI summary
An application program startup method and an electronic device are provided. The method includes: acquiring an application display instruction, wherein the application display instruction is an instruction generated in responsive to activation of an application selection entry by an external object; controlling, according to the application display instruction, a display apparatus of an electronic device to display one or more application icons; acquiring an application selection instruction, wherein the application selection instruction indicates that a corresponding application icon is selected; and in a case where identity verification is passed, executing an unlocking operation and starting an application program corresponding to the selected application icon.
