Unified Lock Screen Interface Reduces Memory Burden
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current screen locking technologies on terminal devices require a lock screen interface that is unnecessary for most interactions, increasing memory burden and reducing efficiency, and users must re-lock the device to view lock screen content, which is inconvenient.
Innovation Solution
A method where a terminal device presents content of a first interface when locked, and upon meeting a preset condition, switches to an unlocked state, allowing more user input responses while maintaining the same interface content, thereby reducing memory burden and improving interaction efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a lock screen interface is added to prevent misoperations, then security is improved, but memory burden increases and use efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the lock screen interface and home interface into a single unified interface. The lock screen functionality is implemented through a locked state mechanism rather than a separate interface layer. This eliminates the need for duplicate interface elements, reducing memory burden while maintaining security through state-based access control.
Solution Approach 2:
The unified interface serves multiple functions: it acts as both the lock screen interface and home interface depending on the device state. When locked, it functions as a security barrier; when unlocked, it provides full home screen functionality. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for separate specialized interfaces.
2Reliability
If a lock screen interface is added to prevent misoperations, then security is improved, but interaction capability decreases
Solution Approach 1:
By combining lock screen and home interface functionalities into one unified interface, the system maintains full interaction capability when unlocked while providing security when locked. The unified interface can respond to all user inputs appropriately based on the current state, eliminating the limitations of separate interfaces.
Solution Approach 2:
The interface dynamically adapts its functionality based on the device state (locked or unlocked). The same interface elements can be enabled or disabled depending on whether the device is locked, allowing the interface to provide appropriate interaction capabilities for each state without requiring separate static interface designs.
3Ease of operation
If the terminal device is unlocked to access functions, then usability is improved, but the user cannot view lock screen content without re-locking
Solution Approach 1:
The unified interface eliminates the need to switch between lock screen and home interface to view content. All interface elements are accessible in the same unified space, whether the device is locked or unlocked, eliminating the time-wasting re-locking cycle and improving operation efficiency.
4Reliability
If a separate lock screen interface is used, then security is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent reduces interface complexity by merging the lock screen interface and home interface into a single unified interface. This eliminates the need to manage two separate interface hierarchies, reducing memory burden and simplifying the overall system architecture while maintaining security through state-based control.

AI summary
The technical solutions provide a method for presentation by a terminal device, and a terminal device, so as to reduce a memory burden of the terminal device, improve efficiency and an interaction capability, and facilitate use for a user. Specifically, a method for presentation by a terminal device is provided, where the method includes: when the mobile terminal is in a locked state, display, on the touch screen, the first interface, the first interface including an interface of a first application program (FAP), an interface of a second application program (SAP) and a first content determined by the mobile terminal based on a habit of using the mobile terminal by a user of the mobile terminal, the interface of the SAP occupying a second area on the touch screen, and the second area being part of the whole display area of the touch screen.
