Lock Screen Fingerprint Verification for Hidden Content Access
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face a poor user experience when viewing hidden information on mobile devices, as current methods require complex operations to unlock and navigate to specific applications to access the content, compromising efficiency and interaction efficiency.
Innovation Solution
A method utilizing a touchscreen with a fingerprint sensor to display a lock screen with a control prompting hidden content, where a user's fingerprint verification allows direct access to the content, simplifying operations and improving interaction efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the content of hidden information is protected by requiring screen unlock and application navigation, then privacy security is improved, but user operation complexity increases and user experience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the information display into hidden and non-hidden portions, allowing users to view only specific parts of information without revealing the entire content. This is achieved by displaying blurred or obscured text that becomes readable only when the user performs authentication, thus maintaining security while simplifying access.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary authentication actions directly on the lock screen before requiring full application unlocking. Users can authenticate their identity and access hidden information content through fingerprint or other biometric verification at the lock screen level, eliminating the need to navigate through multiple application screens to view hidden content.
2Reliability
If the user must navigate through multiple screens and applications to view hidden content, then information security is maintained, but interaction efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary authentication and content revelation actions directly on the lock screen. When users authenticate their identity through fingerprint or other biometric methods at the lock screen, the hidden information content is immediately revealed without requiring navigation to application screens, significantly improving interaction efficiency while maintaining security.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts the hidden information content from its concealed state and displays it directly on the lock screen after authentication. By taking out the hidden content and presenting it in a readable format on the current screen rather than requiring application navigation, the system improves user productivity and interaction efficiency.
3Ease of operation
If the lock screen displays a fingerprint icon for authentication, then ease of accessing hidden content is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes the lock screen serve multiple functions: it acts as both a security barrier and an information display interface. By enabling the lock screen to directly display hidden information content after authentication, the system eliminates the need for separate application navigation screens, thereby improving ease of operation without significantly increasing device complexity.

AI summary
An information content viewing method includes displaying, by a terminal, a first lock screen or keeps in a screen-off state, and displaying, by the terminal, a second lock screen after receiving first information, where the second lock screen displays a first control, and the first control prompts that content of the first information is hidden, receiving, by the terminal, a first operation of a user on a touchscreen, and collecting and verifying, by the terminal, fingerprint information of the user based on the first operation and displaying, by the terminal, a third lock screen after the verification on the fingerprint information succeeds, where the third lock screen displays the first control, and the first control displays the content of the first information.
