Terminal Lock Screen Fingerprint Authentication and Quick Access
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current terminal lock screen interfaces are not efficiently designed for quick access to applications or functions, requiring users to unlock, navigate, and perform multiple operations to open desired applications or functions, which complicates user interaction and reduces efficiency.
Innovation Solution
A display method that utilizes a fingerprint recognizer on a touchscreen to authenticate users and display a secondary lock screen interface with a navigation menu, allowing direct access to application icons, functions, or notifications, thereby simplifying the process of opening applications or functions without extensive user operations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the terminal displays a traditional lock screen interface requiring unlock operations, then security is maintained, but user interaction efficiency deteriorates due to multiple navigation steps
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by displaying application icons and navigation menu options on the lock screen interface before the user completes the unlock operation. This allows users to pre-select their desired application or function, so that upon successful authentication, the system can immediately launch the selected application without requiring additional navigation steps, thereby reducing the time loss and improving operational efficiency
2Productivity
If the lock screen interface is simplified for quick access, then ease of operation improves, but device complexity increases due to additional interface elements and authentication layers
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the lock screen interface into distinct functional modules: authentication region (fingerprint sensor area), navigation menu region (with icons for settings, messages, camera, etc.), and application shortcut region. This modular segmentation allows each region to serve its specific function independently, enabling quick access to applications while maintaining manageable interface complexity through organized, discrete elements
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple lock screen interfaces are provided for different functions, then adaptability improves, but ease of operation deteriorates due to increased user confusion
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by designing a single unified lock screen interface that integrates multiple functions: fingerprint authentication, application shortcuts, navigation menu access, notification viewing, and camera quick launch. Instead of creating separate interfaces for each function, the system combines all these capabilities into one versatile interface, allowing users to access any function from the same screen without causing confusion or requiring users to learn multiple different interface paradigms

AI summary
Embodiments of this application relate to the field of terminals, and disclose a method for quickly opening an application or an application function and a terminal, so that lock screen interfaces of the terminal are enriched, and interaction between a user and the terminal is more efficient. A specific solution is: The terminal displays a home screen. After receiving an operation of locking the terminal by the user, the terminal is locked. If the terminal is in a lock screen state, when the terminal receives an operation of lighting up a screen by the user, the terminal may light up the screen and display a first lock screen interface. If the terminal is in the lock screen state, when the terminal receives a third operation performed by the user on a touchscreen, the terminal may capture fingerprint information of the user by using a fingerprint recognizer. After fingerprint authentication succeeds, the terminal may display a second lock screen interface different from the first lock screen interface. In this case, when the terminal receives a fourth operation on the second lock screen interface, the terminal displays the home screen.
