Wearable Device Unlocking Control System for Electronic Devices
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional unlocking modes for electronic devices, such as sliding, pattern matching, and fingerprint recognition, are vulnerable to cracking, necessitating improved security measures to protect user information.
Innovation Solution
An unlocking control system that uses a wearable device to communicate with an electronic device, binding them and setting an unlocking mode, which includes an additional secure mode that requires a control instruction from the wearable device to unlock, enhancing security through a layered authentication process.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional unlocking modes (sliding, pattern matching, fingerprint recognition) are used, then ease of operation is improved, but security is worsened due to vulnerability to cracking
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a wearable device as an intermediary authentication element that communicates with the electronic device. This mediator adds an additional layer of security verification beyond traditional methods, requiring both the wearable device and electronic device to mutually authenticate before unlocking, thereby resolving the security vulnerability while maintaining operational convenience
2Reliability
If additional secure mode requiring wearable device verification is added, then security is improved, but device complexity is worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements multiple unlocking modes (traditional modes and secure mode) within the same system framework. The electronic device and wearable device can operate in different modes depending on user selection, allowing the system to serve multiple functions - both conventional unlocking and enhanced security unlocking - without requiring separate dedicated systems, thus managing complexity while providing improved security
Data Source
AI summary
An unlocking control method is applied in a wearable device and a lockable electronic device. The wearable device communicates with the electronic device and can be bound to it. The wearable device can produce an unlocking setting instruction to set an unlocking mode of the electronic device, and can send the unlocking setting instruction to the bound electronic device. The wearable device can set the unlocking mode of the electronic device and produce an unlocking control instruction, sending the unlocking control instruction to the electronic device. The electronic device receives the unlocking control instruction, and is controlled to unlock itself according to the received unlocking control instruction and the unlocking mode of the electronic device.
