Solution Overview

Problem

Current facial recognition technologies for unlocking electronic devices do not effectively streamline the transition from a locked screen to the intended screen, leading to unnecessary interaction and reduced user experience.

Innovation Solution

A display control method that, after successful facial information verification, intuitively displays the lock screen and the intended screen, such as a desktop or application screen, by superimposing screens or adjusting transparency, allowing users to directly access and operate the desired screen without additional manual interactions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If facial recognition technology is used to unlock the screen, then security is improved, but the number of interaction steps increases and user experience deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovesecurityVSAvoidinteraction steps
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-displaying the lock screen content and the intended target screen content simultaneously during the facial recognition verification process. This allows the user to see both screens before unlocking, so that after successful verification, the transition to the target screen is immediate and intuitive, reducing the number of interaction steps required.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system adds a temporal dimension to the display by showing the lock screen and target screen in a time-sequenced manner during verification, then transitioning to the target screen after successful authentication. This dimensional approach allows both screens to be presented without requiring additional manual navigation steps.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Reliability

If the lock screen is displayed after facial recognition, then security is maintained, but the transition time to the intended screen increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovesecurityVSAvoidtransition time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system prepares the target screen content in advance during the facial recognition verification process, displaying it simultaneously with the lock screen. This preliminary preparation eliminates the need to load or generate the target screen content after unlocking, significantly reducing the transition time while maintaining security through the required verification step.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system maintains continuous useful action by keeping both the lock screen and target screen content displayed throughout the verification process. This continuous display approach ensures that once verification succeeds, the transition to the target screen is immediate without any loading or generation delays, reducing overall transition time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

3Loss of information

If multiple screens are displayed simultaneously, then user interface information completeness is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinterface information completenessVSAvoidscreen management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses a temporal dimension to manage multiple screens, displaying the lock screen and target screen in a time-sequenced manner during verification. This approach presents both screens to the user without requiring complex spatial or layered screen management, reducing device complexity while maintaining information completeness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary display of both screens during the verification process, then transitions to the target screen after successful authentication. This preliminary action approach simplifies screen management by preparing both screens in advance and using a straightforward transition mechanism, reducing the complexity of real-time screen management.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
