Solution Overview

Problem

Existing electronic devices require cumbersome steps to perform operations on application functions displayed on the lock screen interface, necessitating unlocking and navigating to full-screen interfaces.

Innovation Solution

The method allows direct unlocking and displaying of target interfaces on the lock screen by receiving user inputs on displayed messages or message cards, simplifying the process through direct interface transitions without full-screen navigation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If traditional unlocking and full-screen navigation is required to access application functions on lock screen, then security is maintained, but operation complexity increases and user efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveoperation simplicityVSAvoidinterface transition steps

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the full-screen interface transition into multiple mini-program interfaces that can be directly accessed on the lock screen. Instead of requiring complete unlocking and full-screen navigation, the system divides application functions into separatable mini-programs that render directly on the lock screen interface, reducing the number of steps needed to access functionality.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a new dimension of interaction by allowing mini-program interfaces to overlay and operate within the lock screen space itself, rather than requiring transition to a separate full-screen dimension. This enables direct manipulation of application functions within the existing lock screen boundary, eliminating intermediate navigation steps.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Productivity

If multiple intermediate steps are required to access lock screen functions, then system security is maintained, but time consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveaccess speedVSAvoidunlocking and navigation time

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-loading and pre-rendering mini-program interfaces on the lock screen before full unlocking occurs. The mini-programs are prepared in advance and can be immediately interacted with upon lock screen display, eliminating the time required for post-unlocking interface transitions and acceleration the access speed.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent enables skipping of the traditional full-screen navigation step by allowing direct interaction with mini-program interfaces on the lock screen. Users can rush through the access process by interacting with mini-programs directly on the locked interface, bypassing the time-consuming intermediate steps of full unlocking and full-screen transition.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #21Skipping (Rushing through)

3Ease of operation

If full-screen interface transition is required for each operation, then complete functionality is available, but user convenience decreases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveuser convenienceVSAvoidinterface transition mechanism

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The lock screen interface is enhanced with multi-functionality by integrating mini-program capabilities directly into it. The lock screen becomes a universal platform that can display and interact with multiple application functions simultaneously, eliminating the need for separate full-screen transitions for each operation while maintaining complete functionality.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The mini-program interface acts as an intermediary layer between the lock screen and full application functionality. Instead of requiring direct full-screen transitions, the mini-program serves as a mediator that provides access to application functions within the lock screen context, simplifying user interaction while maintaining system security.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

A method for operating a lock screen interface includes displaying multiple messages on the lock screen interface, receiving a first input for a target message among the multiple messages, and in response to the first input, unlocking the lock screen interface and displaying a target interface. The target interface includes at least one of the following; an interface displayed after performing a target operation on the target message, an interface displayed after performing a next operation corresponding to the target message on the target message, or an interface including an identifier of a next operation corresponding to the target message.
