Terminal Device Privacy Interface Selection via Eye Tracking
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing mobile communication technologies fail to comprehensively protect private information, particularly in scenarios where users overlook security measures, leading to potential data leakage.
Innovation Solution
A method and terminal device implementation that detects special unlock operations, displaying a secondary interface different from the primary interface after unlocking, which can include additional operations or thresholds, to prevent direct presentation of private information on the screen.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the terminal device directly displays the interface last displayed before locking after unlocking, then the user experience is smooth and continuous, but the private information on the screen may be exposed to others
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by detecting whether private information is displayed before the screen lock occurs. Based on this detection, it pre-prepares different interface display strategies: if private information is detected, it plans to display a different interface after unlocking; if not, it plans to restore the original interface. This advance preparation resolves the contradiction by ensuring privacy protection is already in place before the vulnerable moment of unlocking occurs.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces an intermediary mechanism - the interface selection logic that acts as a mediator between the unlock action and the interface display. This intermediary detects the unlock operation, checks the state of private information, and decides which interface to display based on privacy requirements. This mediator resolves the contradiction by inserting a privacy-aware decision layer between the user action and the potential information exposure.
2Reliability
If the terminal device encrypts information and requires fingerprint or password input to view, then the security level is improved, but there are still scenarios where private information can be leaked in easily overlooked situations
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies preliminary anti-action by proactively preventing the harmful effect of information leakage before it can occur. Instead of relying solely on encryption and authentication, it continuously monitors the display state and proactively prevents the condition where private information could be exposed during screen lock/unlock transitions. This preliminary protective measure addresses the overlooked scenarios where traditional encryption might fail.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback by continuously monitoring whether private information is currently displayed on the screen, and using this feedback to adjust the interface restoration behavior after unlocking. The system receives feedback about the display state, processes it through the unlock detection mechanism, and adjusts its response accordingly - either restoring the original interface or displaying a different one. This closed-loop feedback mechanism ensures comprehensive privacy protection across all scenarios.
Data Source
AI summary
A method for unlocking an electronic device includes unlocking a screen of the electronic device and displaying a first interface in response to receiving an image, wherein the image comprises an eyeprint image or an iris image that matches a preset condition, wherein the first interface comprises a previous interface that displayed before the screen was last locked, and unlocking the screen and displaying a second interface in response to receiving the image and in response to detecting an action of blinking or moving an eyeball, wherein the second interface is different than the first interface.
