Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Foldable and flexible displays with multiple biometric recognition devices are inconvenient to unlock in a folded state, as users must perform separate recognition operations on each screen, such as fingerprint and iris recognition, which is not user-friendly.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device with a foldable and flexible display that determines the current page to be unlocked and adjusts the multi-biometric recognition mode based on the available biometric recognition devices, optimizing the recognition operations to facilitate unlocking by determining and adjusting the recognition mode according to the target biometric devices corresponding to the page.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If multi-biometric recognition is implemented with separate recognition operations on each screen, then security is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the biometric recognition mode adaptable and changeable based on the folded state. The system dynamically switches between different recognition modes (first mode for unfolded state, second mode for folded state) to optimize both security and convenience for different usage scenarios.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the recognition mode parameter based on the display's folded state. When the display is folded, the system changes from requiring multiple separate recognition operations to using a proximity sensor-based recognition mode, effectively changing the operational parameters to suit the folded configuration.
2Reliability
If multiple biometric recognition devices are distributed across different screens, then reliability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the biometric recognition function from the display screens themselves and implements it through the proximity sensor, which is already present in the device. This extraction simplifies the system by using an existing component for recognition in the folded state, reducing the need for additional biometric devices on each screen.
Solution Approach 2:
The proximity sensor serves multiple functions: it detects the folded state of the display and also performs biometric recognition in the folded state. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate biometric recognition devices on each screen, thereby reducing device complexity while maintaining security.

AI summary
The embodiment of the disclosure provides an unlocking control method and related products, applied to an electronic device with a foldable and flexible display. The method includes: determining a current page to be unlocked; determining N target biometric recognition devices corresponding to the current page to be unlocked, N being a positive integer; acquiring a current multi-biometric recognition mode, wherein the current multi-biometric recognition mode comprises at least two recognition operations, each recognition operation corresponds to one kind of biometric recognition device; and adjusting the current multi-biometric recognition mode according to the N target biometric recognition devices. So, the current multi-biometric recognition mode is adjustable according to the biometric recognition devices corresponding to the page to be unlocked. Therefore, the problem that a foldable and flexible display is inconvenient to be unlocked in a folded state, can be solved.
