Dynamic Screen Locking Time Adjustment for Mobile Terminals
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing mobile terminals have fixed screen locking times that do not adapt to individual user habits or usage scenarios, leading to inefficiencies in user experience, as either short times increase misoperation risks or long times require frequent unlocking.
Innovation Solution
A method and device that dynamically adjust screen locking time based on monitored time intervals between screen locking and unlocking, updating the locking time when intervals fall within a preset threshold range, incorporating a preset time delay value to optimize the locking time according to current usage environments.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a relatively short period of screen locking time is set, then misoperation is prevented effectively, but unlocking operations are added for the user
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the screen locking time adjustable rather than fixed. The system dynamically changes the locking time parameter based on detected usage scenarios, transitioning between different time values to balance security and convenience automatically
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the time parameter adaptively based on usage scenarios. By detecting user behavior patterns and environmental context, the system modifies the screen locking time parameter to optimize both misoperation prevention and user convenience
2Ease of operation
If a relatively long period of screen locking time is set, then unlocking operations are reduced, but the possibility of misoperation is increased
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts the locking time based on real-time scenario detection, switching between shorter and longer time periods depending on the current usage context, thus preventing prolonged locking that would increase misoperation risk
Solution Approach 2:
The patent modifies the time parameter adaptively based on usage scenarios. By detecting user behavior patterns and environmental context, the system adjusts the screen locking time parameter to minimize misoperation risk while reducing unnecessary unlocking operations
3Device complexity
If a fixed screen locking time is provided, then the system is simple to implement, but it cannot adapt to different usage scenarios and user habits
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-adjustment by automatically detecting usage scenarios and modifying the screen locking time without requiring user intervention. The device serves itself by learning from usage patterns and adapting the parameter autonomously
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms by monitoring user interactions and usage patterns, then using this information to adjust the screen locking time. The system continuously receives feedback from usage behavior and modifies the time parameter accordingly

AI summary
Disclosed are a method and a device for adjusting screen locking time, and an electronic terminal. Time interval values T1, T2,..., and TN between screen locking and screen unlocking for consecutive N times are acquired, and when it is determined that the acquired time interval values T1, T2,..., and TN are all in a preset threshold range, a current screen locking time value is updated into the sum of the current screen locking time value and a preset time delay value. In the disclosure, a usage situation in which the terminal automatically locks the screen and a user unlocks the screen is monitored in real time, and according to the time intervals between screen locking and screen unlocking for consecutive N times, it is determined whether the current screen locking time is appropriate in the current usage environment and situation. When the determining result is that the current screen locking time is inappropriate, the current screen locking time value is automatically updated into the current screen locking time value plus the preset time delay value, so as to achieve the objective of dynamically adjusting the screen locking time according to the current usage environment and situation, thereby effectively reducing the unlocking operations and screen locking settings of the user and improving satisfaction in the user experience.
