Electronic Device Password Input Screen Automation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Electronic devices with key input functions, such as mobile wireless terminals, often require users to manually unlock a lock function after entering a password, which can be inconvenient as it necessitates additional key presses or interactions, especially when users are unaware of the lock status.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device and method that deactivate a lock function and display a predefined function on a display module upon receiving a correct password input, allowing users to unlock and access the function without additional key presses by directly entering the password on a password input screen.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a lock function is activated to prevent unauthorized use, then security is improved, but user convenience deteriorates due to additional key presses required to unlock
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary detection of lock status and automatically transitions to password input mode without requiring users to manually initiate unlocking actions. The controller detects when a locked function is activated and proactively displays the password input screen, eliminating the need for users to perform additional key presses to unlock.
2Reliability
If manual unlocking steps are required after password entry, then security verification is ensured, but operation time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the password input function with the function activation process. When a user enters a password to unlock a function, the system combines the authentication verification with the function activation into a single integrated operation. The controller verifies the password and simultaneously activates the locked function, eliminating separate unlocking steps and reducing overall operation time.
