Application Icon Encryption via Pressure-Sensitive Fingerprint Authentication
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for encrypting applications on intelligent terminals are complex and time-consuming, requiring users to navigate multiple interfaces to select and encrypt applications.
Innovation Solution
A method that detects a touch operation with a pressure force greater than a preset value on an application icon, obtaining fingerprint information to quickly and conveniently encrypt the target application, potentially incorporating facial recognition for enhanced security.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the user navigates through multiple interfaces (home interface, setup interface, security management interface, application encryption interface) to encrypt an application, then the encryption function is available and secure, but the operation becomes complicated and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the encryption function from the complex multi-interface navigation system. By allowing direct fingerprint authentication on the application icon itself, it separates the encryption activation function from the hierarchical interface structure, enabling users to encrypt applications directly without navigating through setup interfaces, security management interfaces, or application encryption interfaces.
Solution Approach 2:
The application icon performs the encryption function itself when the user provides fingerprint authentication. The icon acts as both the identifier and the authentication trigger, eliminating the need for users to navigate to separate security management interfaces. The system serves itself by allowing direct authentication on the target application's icon.
2Reliability
If the system requires navigation through multiple interfaces for application encryption, then comprehensive security management is achieved, but the time required for encryption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by pre-positioning the fingerprint authentication function directly on each application icon. Users have the option to enable fingerprint authentication for individual applications in advance, and when they want to encrypt an application, they simply touch the icon with their fingerprint, which immediately triggers the encryption process without requiring navigation through multiple interfaces.
Solution Approach 2:
The system allows users to skip the intermediate interfaces (setup interface, security management interface, application encryption interface) and directly access the encryption function by performing fingerprint authentication on the application icon. This rushing through of unnecessary intermediate steps significantly reduces the time required for application encryption while maintaining security management capabilities.

AI summary
A method for encrypting an application and a related terminal may be provided. The method may include the follows. A pressure force of a touch operation performed on an icon of a target application is detected. First fingerprint information is obtained when the pressure force is greater than a preset pressure value. The target application is encrypted with the first fingerprint information.
