Lock Screen Input Triggering for Faster App Access
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current process triggering methods in mobile devices are inconvenient, requiring users to unlock and search for applications manually, especially when the device is in a locked state, leading to complex and time-consuming procedures.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that allow users to input specific operation information to directly trigger a process without unlocking the device, using default or custom triggering operations, and establish a corresponding relationship between the input operation and the desired process.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users manually unlock and search for applications, then security is maintained, but user convenience and access speed deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by monitoring input operations on the lock screen and automatically triggering applications when specific patterns are detected, eliminating the need for users to manually search for and open applications after unlocking
Solution Approach 2:
The lock screen serves as an intermediary that not only provides security but also acts as a trigger mechanism for application launching, allowing users to access applications directly from the locked state through specific input patterns
2Productivity
If direct process triggering from locked state is implemented, then user convenience improves, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The input monitoring mechanism serves multiple functions: it maintains security by recognizing valid unlock patterns, triggers applications through specific patterns, and provides a unified interface for both security and productivity purposes
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically monitors input operations and triggers applications without requiring user intervention beyond the initial input pattern, making the process self-service and reducing operational complexity

AI summary
A process triggering method is disclosed. The method may be implemented by a processor. The method may comprise receiving an input operation on an unlock interface of a terminal device, determining input operation information corresponding to the input operation, determining triggering operation information matching with the determined input operation information, determining a process corresponding to the input operation according to a predetermined corresponding relationship between the triggering operation information and the process, and triggering the process.
