Terminal Unlock UI With Continuous Gesture Function Access
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing user interface technologies require separate operations for unlocking a terminal and executing functions, leading to inefficient and disjointed user experiences.
Innovation Solution
A method that allows users to perform a coherent operation to both unlock a terminal and execute a function, such as opening an application, by continuing their input after initial unlocking, using sensors like fingerprint, iris, or touch, and displaying a third user interface (UI) with quick entry shortcuts or gesture recognition.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the terminal requires separate operations for unlocking and executing functions, then security and privacy protection are ensured, but operation efficiency and user experience deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the unlocking operation and function execution into a single continuous gesture. The user performs one unified action (e.g., sliding gesture) that simultaneously unlocks the device and triggers the desired function, eliminating the need for separate operations while maintaining security through authentication verification.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary authentication verification during the unlocking gesture itself, before fully executing the function. This allows the device to prepare and validate security credentials in advance, enabling seamless transition to function execution without interrupting the user's operational flow.
2Reliability
If the terminal requires multiple separate operations to unlock and execute functions, then security control is maintained, but user experience and operational coherence deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple discrete operations (unlocking + function execution) into a single coherent gesture. The user experiences a smooth, uninterrupted interaction where one continuous action accomplishes both security authentication and function triggering, significantly improving ease of operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system maintains continuous user action throughout the unlocking and function execution process. The gesture flows without interruption or required pauses, keeping the interaction seamless and natural while security verification occurs in the background during the continuous motion.
3Productivity
If the terminal allows quick entry shortcuts on lock screen, then operational speed improves, but security boundaries and function access control deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary security verification during the quick entry gesture itself, rather than requiring a separate unlock step afterward. The authentication is completed in advance as part of the function-triggering action, maintaining security boundaries while enabling fast access to authorized functions.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines security authentication and function access into a single integrated operation. The quick entry gesture simultaneously verifies user credentials and executes the desired function, eliminating the need for separate security checks while maintaining robust security control.

AI summary
Embodiments of this application provide a user interface display method of a terminal, and a terminal. The method includes the following steps: when a screen of the terminal is off or the terminal displays a first interface, receiving, by the terminal, a first operation that is entered by a user to unlock the terminal, where the first interface is a lock screen of the terminal; displaying, by the terminal, a third user interface when determining that the first operation meets a preset unlock condition and that the user does not stop operating the terminal after entering the first operation; and in the third user interface, receiving, by the terminal, a second operation entered by the user, and executing a function corresponding to the second operation. In this solution, the terminal provides the third user interface when determining that the user does not stop operating the terminal after entering the unlock operation, and the second operation is entered in the interface, so that the terminal can directly execute the function corresponding to the second operation. The user can use a coherent operation to both unlock the terminal and enable the terminal to execute a function, thereby improving operation efficiency.
