Screen Saver Unlocking via User-Preset Track Detection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current screen saver unlocking methods are monotonous and do not allow for personalized applications, failing to convey user personality and increase user engagement.
Innovation Solution
A method and user equipment that detect the position and duration of a user input to unlock a screen saver, utilizing a user-preset track to personalize the unlocking process, which can include presenting a fading track or background image with interactive effects, allowing users to save their track as a key for unlocking.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a traditional screen saver unlocking method is used, then the unlocking operation is simple and quick, but the operation is monotonous and does not allow personalized applications
Solution Approach 1:
The system requires users to pre-set a specific drawing trajectory before the screen saver can be unlocked. This preliminary action enables personalization by allowing users to define their own unique unlocking pattern, while the actual unlocking operation remains simple when the user naturally follows their pre-set trajectory during normal use.
Solution Approach 2:
The screen saver unlocking mechanism serves itself by automatically detecting whether the user's input follows the pre-set trajectory. The system autonomously compares the current input path against the stored trajectory and determines unlocking status without requiring additional user intervention or complex manual operations.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a user-preset track method is implemented, then personalized operations are enabled, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system stores a copy of the user's pre-set drawing trajectory as a reference pattern. During unlocking, the system compares the current input trajectory against this stored copy to determine if they match sufficiently. This copying approach enables personalization through trajectory storage and comparison while maintaining relatively simple implementation through standard pattern recognition algorithms.

AI summary
Embodiments of the present invention provide a method and user equipment for unlocking a screen saver, which can implement personalized operations of screen saver unlocking. The method includes: detecting a position of a first input on a screen; detecting a duration of the first input when the position of the first input falls into a user-preset track; and unlocking the screen saver when the duration exceeds a time threshold. The corresponding user equipment includes a position detecting module, a time detecting module, and a screen. The above technical solutions may implement personalized operations of screen saver unlocking and increase fun by detecting whether the position of a user input falls into a user-preset track and detecting the duration of the user input.
