Abstract
After an electronic device in a locked state obtains an operation instruction and identity authentication information that does not meet an unlocking requirement, the electronic device may determine whether to allow access to a resource that the operation instruction requests to access, and if yes, access the corresponding resource in response to the operation instruction.
Claims20
A method, wherein the method comprises:
- obtaining, by a first device in a locked state, a first operation instruction and a first authentication factor, wherein the first operation instruction requests to access a first resource of the first device, the first authentication factor comprises identity authentication information that does not meet an unlocking requirement of the first device, and identity authentication information that meets the unlocking requirement of the first device is used to switch the first device from the locked state to an unlocked state;
- determining, by the first device based on the first operation instruction and the first authentication factor, resources that the first device is allowed to access;
- and
- based on that the resources that the first device is allowed to access comprise the first resource, accessing, by the first device while remaining in the locked state, the first resource in response to the first operation instruction,
- wherein the identity authentication information that does not meet the unlocking requirement in the first authentication factor is weaker than the identity authentication information that meets the unlocking requirement, and
- wherein the resources that the first device is allowed to access based on the identity authentication information that does not meet the unlocking requirement are fewer than resources that the first device is allowed to access after switching to the unlocked state based on the identity authentication information that meets the unlocking requirement.
3 more elements
A first device, comprising:
- a memory and one or more processors, wherein the memory is coupled to the one or more processors, the memory is configured to store computer program code, the computer program code comprises computer instructions, and the one or more processors invoke the computer instructions to enable the first device to perform:
- obtaining, by the first device in a locked state, a first operation instruction and a first authentication factor, wherein the first operation instruction requests to access a first resource of the first device, the first authentication factor comprises identity authentication information that does not meet an unlocking requirement of the first device, and identity authentication information that meets the unlocking requirement of the first device is used to switch the first device from the locked state to an unlocked state;
- determining, by the first device based on the first operation instruction and the first authentication factor, resources that the first device is allowed to access;
- and
- based on that the resources that the first device is allowed to access comprise the first resource, accessing, by the first device while remaining in the locked state, the first resource in response to the first operation instruction,
- wherein the identity authentication information that does not meet the unlocking requirement in the first authentication factor is weaker than the identity authentication information that meets the unlocking requirement, and
- wherein the resources that the first device is allowed to access based on the identity authentication information that does not meet the unlocking requirement are fewer than resources that the first device is allowed to access after switching to the unlocked state based on the identity authentication information that meets the unlocking requirement.
4 more elements
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a first device, cause the first device to perform operations, the operations comprising:
- obtaining, by the first device in a locked state, a first operation instruction and a first authentication factor, wherein the first operation instruction requests to access a first resource of the first device, the first authentication factor comprises identity authentication information that does not meet an unlocking requirement of the first device, and identity authentication information that meets the unlocking requirement of the first device is used to switch the first device from the locked state to an unlocked state;
- determining, by the first device based on the first operation instruction and the first authentication factor, resources that the first device is allowed to access;
- and
- based on that the resources that the first device is allowed to access comprise the first resource, accessing, by the first device while remaining in the locked state, the first resource in response to the first operation instruction,
- wherein the identity authentication information that does not meet the unlocking requirement in the first authentication factor is weaker than the identity authentication information that meets the unlocking requirement, and
- wherein the resources that the first device is allowed to access based on the identity authentication information that does not meet the unlocking requirement are fewer than resources that the first device is allowed to access after switching to the unlocked state based on the identity authentication information that meets the unlocking requirement.
