Unified Screen Unlocking Interface for Touch Devices
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current screen unlocking methods on touch devices either lack security or are cumbersome, with shortcut unlocking being quick but insecure and password pattern unlocking being complex and time-consuming.
Innovation Solution
A screen unlocking interface that combines both password and shortcut unlocking areas, allowing users to perform both types of unlocking interactions on a single interface, ensuring security and reducing unlocking time.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Speed
If shortcut unlocking is used, then unlocking speed is improved, but system security deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines shortcut unlocking and password unlocking into a single unified unlocking interface. The unlocking interface includes both shortcut unlocking areas (for fast access) and password unlocking areas (for security verification). This merging allows the system to provide both quick access and security verification within one interface, resolving the contradiction between speed and security.
2Reliability
If password pattern unlocking is used, then system security is improved, but unlocking time and operation complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the unlocking interface into distinct shortcut unlocking areas and password unlocking areas. Users can choose to perform only shortcut unlocking for fast access, or combine shortcut unlocking with password verification for enhanced security. This segmentation allows flexible unlocking paths, reducing the time penalty associated with password verification by allowing partial shortcut unlocking first.
3Adaptability or versatility
If separate unlocking interfaces for password and shortcut unlocking are used, then functionality is maintained, but operation complexity and unlocking time increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal unlocking interface that serves multiple functions: it supports both shortcut unlocking and password unlocking, allows sequential or combined unlocking operations, and provides a unified entry point for all unlocking methods. This multi-functional interface eliminates the need for separate unlocking screens, reducing operational complexity while maintaining full functionality.

AI summary
Embodiments of the present invention disclose a screen unlocking method, apparatus, and device, and relate to the field of touch control technologies, which can shorten the unlocking time of a user and effectively improve user experience. The method includes: displaying a screen unlocking interface on a screen, where the screen unlocking interface includes a password unlocking area and a shortcut unlocking area; receiving an unlocking pattern input by a user through the screen unlocking interface, where the unlocking pattern includes a password unlocking pattern input through the password unlocking area and a shortcut unlocking pattern input through the shortcut unlocking area; determining whether the password unlocking pattern input by the user is consistent with a preset password unlocking pattern; and if the password unlocking pattern input by the user is consistent with the preset password unlocking pattern, unlocking the screen to enter a function interface corresponding to the shortcut unlocking pattern. The present invention is applicable to unlocking technologies of touch devices.
