The method also includes acquiring state information of a user sent by a target wearable device worn by the user, when the detected unlocking information matches the preset reference unlocking information. The method further includes performing unlocking when the state information of the user does not satisfy a preset state condition, and maintaining a screen-locked state when the state information of the user satisfies the preset state condition. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An unlocking method, comprising: detecting an input of unlocking information;
