Automatic Screen Unlocking via Identity Matching
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current screen unlocking methods for electronic devices are complex and time-consuming, requiring users to physically interact with the device to unlock it, even after identifying themselves correctly.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that utilize identity identification information sent by a first terminal, matched with a preset rule, to automatically unlock the screen if the information matches, leveraging technologies like iBeacon and Bluetooth Low Energy for communication, simplifying the unlocking process.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If automatic unlocking based on identity identification information is implemented, then unlocking efficiency is improved and the process is simplified, but device complexity increases due to additional communication interfaces and processing requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by obtaining and verifying identity identification information (such as iBeacon data) before the actual unlocking operation. This allows the device to automatically authenticate the user's identity in advance, triggering the unlock process without requiring manual intervention, thereby improving unlocking efficiency while managing complexity through automated preliminary verification steps
2Reliability
If manual password input is required for security, then information security is improved, but the unlocking process becomes more complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements self-service by automatically obtaining and verifying identity identification information without requiring manual password input from the user. The device autonomously completes the authentication process by comparing received identity data with stored information, maintaining security through automated verification while significantly improving ease of operation by eliminating manual intervention
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical system of manual password input with an automated electronic verification system. Instead of requiring physical keyboard interaction or touch input for password entry, the system uses electronic identity identification (iBeacon, Bluetooth Low Energy) to automatically authenticate the user, substituting manual mechanical operations with automated electronic processes that maintain security while improving ease of use
3Ease of operation
If automatic unlocking is implemented without manual verification, then ease of operation is improved, but reliability may be compromised due to potential unauthorized access
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback mechanisms by continuously monitoring and verifying identity identification information before triggering the unlock process. The device receives identity data, compares it with stored information, and only proceeds with unlocking when verification succeeds. This feedback loop ensures that automatic unlocking maintains reliability by validating user identity through multiple verification steps while preserving ease of operation through automation

AI summary
A screen unlocking method and apparatus, and a storage medium are provided. The method includes: obtaining a message that carries identity identification information of the first terminal; matching the identity identification information of the first terminal with a preset identification information matching rule; and controlling the screen to be unlocked in response to determining that the identity identification information of the first terminal meets the preset identification information matching rule.
