Abstract
A method for unlocking an electronic device displays an unlocking interface on a touch screen of the electronic device, and detects unlocking touch operations of unlocking the electronic device on the unlocking interface. Virtual icons triggered in a sequence by each of the unlocking touch operations are confirmed, and a password corresponding to each of the unlocking touch operations is recorded according to a preset identifier of each of the confirmed virtual icons. An unlocking password is generated according to the recorded code of each of the unlocking touch operations and a touch sequence of the unlocking touch operations. If the unlocking password matches a locking password prestored in a storage device, the electronic device is unlocked.
Claims18
A computer-implemented method for unlocking an electronic device, the method comprising:
- displaying an unlocking interface on a touch screen of the electronic device, the unlocking interface comprising a plurality of virtual icons;
- detecting unlocking touch operations on the unlocking interface;
- confirming virtual icons triggered in a sequence by each of the unlocking touch operations;
- recording a code corresponding to each of the unlocking touch operations according to a preset identifier of each of the confirmed virtual icons;
- generating an unlocking password according to the recorded code of each of the unlocking touch operations and a touch sequence of the unlocking touch operations;
- and
- unlocking the electronic device when the unlocking password matches a locking password prestored in a storage device of the electronic device.
A non-transitory storage medium storing a set of instructions, when executed by at least one processor of an electronic device, cause the at least one processor to perform a method for unlocking the electronic device, the method comprising:
- displaying an unlocking interface on a touch screen of the electronic device, the unlocking interface comprising a plurality of virtual icons;
- detecting unlocking touch operations on the unlocking interface;
- confirming virtual icons triggered in a sequence by each of the unlocking touch operations;
- recording a code corresponding to each of the unlocking touch operations according to a preset identifier of each of the confirmed virtual icons;
- generating an unlocking password according to the recorded code of each of the unlocking touch operations and a touch sequence of the unlocking touch operations;
- and
- unlocking the electronic device when the unlocking password matches a locking password prestored in a storage device of the electronic device.
An electronic device comprising:
- a touch screen;
- at least one processor;
- and
- a storage device storing one or more programs, which when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
- display an unlocking interface on a touch screen of the electronic device, the unlocking interface comprising a plurality of virtual icons;
- detect unlocking touch operations on the unlocking interface;
- confirm virtual icons triggered in a sequence by each of the unlocking touch operations;
- recorded a code corresponding to each of the unlocking touch operations according to a preset identifier of each of the confirmed virtual icons;
- generate an unlocking password according to the recorded code of each of the unlocking touch operations and a touch sequence of the unlocking touch operations;
- and
- unlock the electronic device when the unlocking password matches a locking password prestored in a storage device of the electronic device.
