Abstract
An apparatus and a method for controlling security in an electronic device are provided. The operating method of an electronic device includes detecting at least one touch input, detecting at least one of a touch area, a touch shape, or the number of touches, which correspond to each of the at least one touch input, and creating a reference pattern for the unlocking, based on at least one of the touch area, the touch shape, or the number of touches, which correspond to each of the at least one touch input. Other embodiments may be provided.
Claims20
An electronic device comprising:
- a touch screen;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- detect at least one of a touch area, a touch shape, or the number of touches, which correspond to each of at least one touch input detected through the touch screen, and
- create a reference pattern for the unlocking, based on at least one of the touch area, the touch shape, or the number of touches, which correspond to each of the at least one touch input.
An electronic device comprising:
- a touch screen;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- detect a touch area corresponding to each of a plurality of touch inputs detected through the touch screen,
- detect an average of the touch areas corresponding to the plurality of touch inputs, and
- create a reference area for separating the touch area to create an input pattern corresponding to the unlocking of the electronic device, based on the average of the touch areas.
An operating method of an electronic device, the method comprising:
- detecting at least one touch input;
- detecting at least one of a touch area, a touch shape, or the number of touches, which correspond to each of the at least one touch input;
- and
- creating a reference pattern for the unlocking, based on at least one of the touch area, the touch shape, or the number of touches, which correspond to each of the at least one touch input.
An operating method of an electronic device, the method comprising:
- detecting a plurality of touch inputs;
- detecting a touch area corresponding to each touch input of the plurality of touch inputs;
- detecting an average of the touch areas corresponding to the plurality of touch inputs;
- and
- creating a reference area for separating the touch area to create an input pattern corresponding to the unlocking of the electronic device, based on the average of the touch areas.
