Unified Password Input Interface for Multi-Character Entry
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing password input methods require users to switch among different input interfaces for various types of characters, making the process complicated and inconvenient, especially when inputting passwords that include letters, numerals, and symbols.
Innovation Solution
A password input interface display method and system that allows users to set and input passwords using a single interface with arranged keys, establishing corresponding relationships between keys and represented terms, and optionally customizing key display content, ensuring secure and convenient password entry without switching between interfaces.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a general input method interface is used to input passwords with multiple character types, then the interface can handle various character types (letters, numerals, symbols), but the user must switch among different input interfaces, making the operation complicated
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple input interfaces (English input interface, numeral input interface, symbol input interface) into a single unified password input interface. This unified interface allows users to input letters, numerals, and symbols without switching between different interfaces, thereby resolving the contradiction between handling various character types and maintaining simple operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The password input interface is designed to be universal, capable of handling multiple types of characters (letters, numerals, symbols) within a single interface. This multi-functional design eliminates the need for users to switch between specialized interfaces for different character types, simplifying the operation while maintaining versatility.
2Reliability
If different types of characters are distributed on different input interfaces, then each interface can be optimized for its specific character type, but the overall password input process becomes more complex requiring interface switching
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple specialized input interfaces into one unified password input interface that handles letters, numerals, and symbols simultaneously. This merging maintains the reliability of character input while reducing the interface structure complexity from multiple separate interfaces to a single integrated interface.

AI summary
A trigger instruction is received to set a password input interface. A setting of a term represented by a key is triggered. A selection or input of the term represented by the key on the password input interface is received. A first corresponding relationship between the key and the represented term is established. The password input interface is displayed. An electronic device sets terms, which are commonly used by a user to set a password, in a same password input interface. Thus, when a user password includes different types of terms, the user inputs the password without switching among different input interfaces to ensure that the user input the password conveniently.
