Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current touchscreen locking technologies do not allow users to fully customize their unlocking interface and manner, failing to meet the increasing demand for personalized preferences.
Innovation Solution
A touchscreen unlocking method and apparatus that enables users to define their own screen locking interface and unlocking process by reading a user-defined configuration file, allowing for customizable controls, animations, sounds, and vibrations based on user preferences.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a traditional touchscreen locking technology is used, then the screen locking function is provided, but the user cannot customize the unlocking interface and manner
Solution Approach 1:
The unlocking interface is segmented into independent configurable elements including controls, backgrounds, and effect components. Each element can be independently customized through configuration files, allowing users to modify specific aspects without redesigning the entire unlocking system.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses configuration files to store and apply various parameters for unlocking customization, including control positions, background images, animation types, sound effects, and vibration patterns. By changing these parameters, users can fully customize their unlocking experience without modifying the underlying system code.
2Adaptability or versatility
If limited unlocking options are provided, then the system complexity is kept low, but the user cannot define their preferred unlocking manner
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides self-service capabilities by allowing users to define their own unlocking configurations through configuration files. Users can independently set up their preferred controls, backgrounds, and effects without requiring system administrator intervention or complex programming knowledge.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by providing default unlocking configurations that users can adopt as-is or modify. Configuration files are pre-prepared with standard settings, allowing users to quickly set up customization without starting from scratch, thus maintaining operational simplicity.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple customization options are added, then user personalization is improved, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The configuration file system serves multiple functions: it stores control definitions, background settings, animation parameters, sound effects, and vibration patterns in a unified format. This universal configuration approach allows the system to handle diverse customization needs through a single mechanism, reducing overall system complexity.

AI summary
A touchscreen unlocking method and apparatus are disclosed. The method includes receiving an unlocking instruction triggered by a user by sliding a control on a touchscreen; reading a corresponding user-defined screen locking configuration file according to the unlocking instruction; and performing an unlocking operation on the touchscreen according to the corresponding user-defined screen locking configuration file. In the present disclosure, when a user triggers unlocking, an unlocking operation is performed on a touchscreen according to a user-defined screen locking configuration file; and an unlocking control on the touchscreen can be self-defined and randomly set by the user, and different effects such as animation, sound, and vibration may be displayed in different states, thereby greatly improving unlocking convenience and fun, and meeting the requirement that the user hopes to self-define an unlocking manner according to the preference of the user.
