Concurrent Biometric Authentication for Split-Screen App Access
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In shared electronic devices, there is a risk of unauthorized access to personal information due to multiple users accessing different applications without secure biometric authentication, compromising information security and efficiency in human-computer interaction.
Innovation Solution
The method allows simultaneous display of multiple authentication interfaces for different applications, enabling concurrent biometric authentication and ensuring secure access by displaying unlocked application interfaces only after successful authentication, thereby reducing power consumption and improving interaction efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If multiple authentication interfaces are processed separately sequentially, then authentication security is maintained, but human-computer interaction efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple authentication interfaces into a unified authentication service that processes concurrent authentication requests simultaneously. The system combines multiple authentication tasks into a single service framework, allowing parallel processing of authentication requests from different applications while maintaining security through centralized authentication result verification.
2Productivity
If multiple authentication requests are processed concurrently, then interaction efficiency is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an authentication service as an intermediary layer between multiple authentication interfaces and the authentication module. This service framework manages concurrent authentication requests, coordinates authentication resources, and handles result distribution, thereby reducing system complexity while enabling efficient parallel authentication processing.
3Reliability
If authentication interfaces are displayed for each application separately, then application security is ensured, but power consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple authentication operations into a single unified authentication process. By combining concurrent authentication requests into one authentication service call, the system performs authentication once and reuses the result for multiple applications, thereby maintaining security while significantly reducing power consumption compared to performing separate authentication for each application.
4Speed
If sequential authentication processing is used, then system resource usage is reduced, but authentication speed deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic authentication processing where the system adapts its authentication strategy based on the number of concurrent requests. When multiple authentication requests are detected, the system dynamically switches from sequential processing to parallel concurrent processing, optimizing both authentication speed and energy efficiency according to the actual operational context.

AI summary
A display method includes simultaneously running a locked first application and a locked second application on the electronic device; first displaying a first authentication interface and a second authentication interface, where the first authentication interface and the second authentication interface are simultaneously displayed; obtaining first biometric authentication information of a user by using a system authentication service by obtaining fingerprint information of the user; and displaying a first application interface in response to successful authentication on the first biometric authentication information, where the first application interface includes content displayed by the first application after authentication on the first biometric authentication information succeeds.
