Abstract

A portable electronic device able to transition directly from a locked state to activation of an application includes a display displaying an unlocking interface. The portable electronic device receives and validates first and second touch inputs from a user, the first input being matchable to an unlocking condition, and the application being selectable by the second input. The first and second inputs may be found together in one sliding touch. Upon validation of the first input, redirecting from the unlocking interface to a home screen if no application is selected, or to an interface of the application if one is selected. Without validation, the display continues to display the unlocking interface and no application is activated. An unlocking method of the portable electronic device is also provided.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A portable electronic device, comprising:

a display displaying an unlocking interface;
wherein the portable electronic device receives and validates a first input and a second input, determines whether the first input is matched to an unlocking condition, and determines an application selected by the second input;
wherein when the portable electronic device determines the first input is matched to the unlocking condition, then activating the application selected by the second input and redirecting to an interface of the application selected by the second input from the unlocking interface;
wherein the receiving of the first input and the second input, the validating of the first input and the second input, and the activating of the application are all processed in the unlocking interface;
wherein when the portable electronic device determines the first input is not matched to the unlocking condition, the display continuously displays the unlocking interface, the portable electronic device does not activate any applications.
