Abstract
A method for unlocking an electronic device includes identifying a slide path according to touch signals received from a preset touch area of a touch screen of the electronic device when the electronic device is locked. Once the identified slide path is determined to include a preset slide path and passes preset discrete points, and a number of passing times of each of the preset discrete points is equal to preset number of times, the electronic device is unlocked.
Claims15
A computer-implemented method of unlocking an electronic device using at least one processor of the electronic device, the electronic device comprising a touch screen, the method comprising:
- identifying a slide path according to touch signals received from a preset touch area of the touch screen when the electronic device is locked;
- analyzing whether the identified slide path includes a preset slide path and passes preset discrete points;
- analyzing whether a number of passing times of each of the preset discrete points is equal to a preset number of times;
- unlocking the electronic device upon condition that the identified slide path includes the preset slide path and passes the preset discrete points, and the number of passing times of each of the preset discrete points is equal to the preset number of times.
An electronic device comprising:
- a touch screen;
- at least one processor;
- a storage device being configured to store one or more programs that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
- identify a slide path according to touch signals received from a preset touch area of the touch screen when the electronic device is locked;
- analyze whether the identified slide path includes a preset slide path and passes preset discrete points;
- analyze whether a number of passing times of each of the preset discrete points is equal to a preset number of times;
- unlock the electronic device when the identified slide path includes the preset slide path and passes the preset discrete points, and the number of passing times of each of the preset discrete points is equal to the preset number of times.
A non-transitory storage medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by a processor of an electronic device, causes the processor to perform a method for unlocking the electronic device, the electronic device comprising a touch screen, wherein the method comprises:
- identifying a slide path according to touch signals received from a preset touch area of the touch screen when the electronic device is locked;
- analyzing whether the identified slide path includes a preset slide path and passes preset discrete points;
- analyzing whether a number of passing times of each of the preset discrete points is equal to a preset number of times;
- and
- unlocking the electronic device when the identified slide path includes the preset slide path and passes the preset discrete points, and the number of passing times of each of the preset discrete points is equal to the preset number of times.
