Lock Screen Region Selection for Mobile Terminal Home Screens
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current mobile terminals lack the ability to display multiple optimized home screens based on user situations and require a single pre-set home screen upon unlocking, limiting user convenience.
Innovation Solution
A mobile terminal with a lock screen featuring multiple regions, where each region can display different information and settings, allowing users to select a home screen based on touch input, and dynamically adjust display elements such as size and information based on user interactions and environmental factors like tilt and time.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a single pre-set home screen is displayed in lock mode, then the device structure remains simple, but user convenience and personalization are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The lock screen is divided into multiple regions, each corresponding to a different home screen. When a user touches a specific region, the corresponding home screen is displayed after unlocking. This segmentation allows multiple home screens to be selected from a single lock screen interface, improving user convenience without requiring complex additional hardware or interfaces.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple home screens are provided with different settings, then user personalization is improved, but the complexity of managing multiple screens increases
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple home screens with different settings are pre-configured and stored in the device memory before use. Each home screen is associated with a specific region on the lock screen. This preliminary preparation allows users to quickly switch between different home screens based on their current situation without needing to manually configure or manage the screens at the moment of use, thereby reducing the perceived complexity for users.
3Adaptability or versatility
If a single unlock method is used, then the operation process is simple, but it cannot adapt to different user situations
Solution Approach 1:
Different regions on the lock screen are assigned different qualities or characteristics, such as different background images, icons, or visual cues that correspond to different home screens. This local differentiation allows users to intuitively understand which region corresponds to which home screen, making the selection process natural and adaptable to different situations without complicating the overall unlock operation.

AI summary
A mobile terminal including a terminal body; a display unit configured to display a lock screen including a plurality of regions in a lock mode in which an input of a control command with respect to an application is limited; and a controller configured to, when a touch input applied to a region among the plurality of regions of the lock screen to release the lock mode is sensed, detect information regarding a home screen corresponding to the touched region, and display the home screen corresponding to the touched region based on the detected information regarding the home screen corresponding to the touched region on the display unit
