Referring now to Figure 2, presenting example touch screen 200.Touch screen 200 is the electronics for being initially at the state of locking A part of equipment.That is, the solution that the electronic equipment of locking requires user to provide before any other input for receiving touch screen Lock signal (for example, to touch screen 200).Depict two exemplary tactile input sets: tactile input set 204 and tactile input Collection 206.Tactile input is defined as the physical touch to touch screen.Although tactile input can be from light pen, pen or other Mechanical equipment, but in one or more embodiments of the present invention, tactile input is that the finger/thumb of user touches.
Consider that the tactile in tactile input set 204 inputs 202a-202d now.In one embodiment of the invention, it touches Feel that input 202a-202d is simultaneously, so that all of which occurs simultaneously, even if they are not originally in accurate same time Start.That is, one or more tactiles input in tactile input 202a-202d can initially occur in different time, but To be whole tactiles input in final tactile input 202a-202d occur in same time (for example, all fingers while being in touching It touches on screen 200, even if they are reached in different time).
Note that tactile input set 204 includes the two tactiles input 202a and 202d for being separated from each other farthest.That is, not coming It is separated from each other farther than tactile input 202a and 202d from two tactiles input of tactile input 202a-202d.Therefore, tactile Input 202a and 202d are defined as " farthest tactile input ".
Total physical distance between tactile input 202a and tactile input 202d is represented as value " X " in Fig. 2.As retouch Draw, tactile input 202b be in for apart from tactile input 202a " X " a quarter ((.25) X)) distance at, and Tactile input 202c is at the distance for 8/10ths ((.80) X) of " X " apart from tactile input 202a).
The tactile input set 206 including tactile input 208a-208d is considered now.208a is inputted to farthest tactile from tactile The physical distance of input 208d is shown as distance " Y ".Note that inputting the physical distance of 208a to tactile input 208b from tactile It is a quarter ((.25) Y) of " Y "), and be the ten of " Y " to the physical distance of tactile input 208c from tactile input 208a / eight ((.80) Y)).Because these relative distances (.25 and .80) be for both tactile input sets 204 and 206 it is identical, So they are considered of equal value.That is, the positioning of internal tactile input (for example, 202b/202c and/or 208b/208c) is not Be based on the absolute physical distance between it, but input based on it apart from external tactile (for example, 202a/202d with/ Or 208a/208d) in one or both relative distance (for example, percentage of X/Y).
The relative position for needing the tactile for being unlocked to electronic equipment to input is stored in for touch screen tactile In the positioning file of input.That is, positioning file stores to be unlocked electronic equipment the phase of the tactile that must be used input To position.In one embodiment, which touches touch screen 200 for the first time by user to generate.Implement at one In example, user's (for example, four fingers for passing through a hand in its both hands) will be in the initial touch of touch screen 200 For the user in natural position.For example, most users can utilize four hands being uniformly spaced out naturally Refer to and touches touch screen.However, present tactile input pattern shown in Figure 2 user may make in the past it is his/her Two intermediate finger injuries, so as to cause the position for the opening described in 206 the two of tactile input set 204 and tactile input set It sets.Even if user keeps its finger to be close together (for example, as discribed in tactile input set 206), will still capture It is opened to finger unique for the user.Therefore, if user is initially presented what its finger as shown in Figure 2 touched Relative position, then the pattern of the expansion is stored in positioning file as unlock pattern.When user wanted on the date pair later When electronic equipment is unlocked, then no matter external finger separate how far, finger is in putting for identical opposite deployed position Setting will all be detected and matches with the original pattern provided by the user.The matching will be so that electronic equipment be unlocked (that is, making that other inputs can be carried out via touch screen 200 now).
Referring now to Figure 3, present and provide a user (in one embodiment, random/arbitrarily generate) visual cues The example touch screen 300 of prompt is misled with vision.Consideration be shown as star and correspond to it is shown in Figure 2 (one or It is multiple) finger of tactile input set 204/206 opens the visual cues 302a-302d of pattern.In one embodiment of the present of invention In, these stars (visual cues 302a-302d) occur before its finger is placed on touch screen 300 by user, therefore will Guide user by its finger place where.However, in another embodiment of the invention, these stars (visual cues 302a- 302d) only occur after its finger is placed on touch screen 300 by user.
For first embodiment, it is assumed that its finger is placed on touching in user by these stars (visual cues 302a-302d) Touch screen 300 on before occur, therefore will guide user by its finger place where.If its finger is placed on these by user On star (visual cues 302a-302d), then electronic equipment will be unlocked.
Note that vision is presented also on touch screen 300 misleads prompt, the visual pattern (figure including heart, moon shape etc. Mark).If user touches these and misleads prompt rather than star (visual cues 302a-302d), electronic equipment is locked holding Fixed (in one embodiment, permanently being blocked until system manager cancels).
Note that vision, which misleads some visions in prompt, misleads prompt (that is, being described by vision misleading prompt 304a-304d Sun shape) there is the identical finger with star (appropriate visual cues 302a-302d) to open orientation.Assuming that electronic equipment is wanted Ask star (visual cues 302a-302d) and non-solar shape (vision misleads prompt 304a-304d) is touched to set to electronics It is standby to be unlocked.User must know (based on being arranged earlier) is placed on star (visual cues 302a-302d) for its finger And in non-solar shape (vision misleads prompt 304-304d).That is, when setting unlock pattern when, user can during setting (example Such as, from drop-down menu) selection star is that he will touch authorization shape to be unlocked to electronic equipment on the touchscreen.
For second embodiment, it is assumed that user its finger can be placed on touch screen 300 from anywhere in so as to right Electronic equipment is unlocked (as described above, it is assumed that it is appropriate for opening pattern).However, in this second embodiment, Appropriate visual cues are only presented to user in the place that user has placed its finger.I.e., it is assumed that user is by its hand Refer to the position shown by star (visual cues 302a-302d) being placed on touch screen 300.In this embodiment, star Do not inform where user places its finger, but how using its finger contact touch screen 300 and/or contact how long.Example Such as, consider table 400 shown in Fig. 4.
Table 400 in Fig. 4 is the finger contact command and the list of duration provided by the visual cues on touch screen. For example, it is contemplated that the first icon (" smiling face ").If this is reasonable visual cues (for example, visual cues described in Fig. 3 The part of 302a-302d), then finger contact necessarily has (referring to the narrow oblong in " finger contact " column) of finger nail, And/or the duration of finger contact is recognized between 0.10 second and 0.5 second by the unlocking mechanism on electronic equipment.Class As, if icon is sun shape, finger contact must be finger tip (such as being described by biggish ellipse), and/or keep Between 0.5 second and 1.0 seconds.If icon is star, finger contact must be that finger mark (is such as described by longer ellipse ), and/or be maintained between 0.75 second and 1.5 seconds.If icon is moon shape, finger contact must be finger side (such as By wider ellipse description), and/or be maintained between 1.0 seconds and 2.0 seconds.If icon is radiation, finger contact It must be that wheel refers to movement (rocking back and forth), and/or is maintained between 1.0 seconds and 2.5 seconds.If icon is heart, finger is connect Touching must be started with light finger tip (being depicted as small dish type), weight finger tip (being depicted as larger dish type) is followed by, so that finger connects (as describing from smaller dish type to indicated by the transformation of larger dish type) is unfolded in more touch screens in touching, and/or protects It holds between 2.0 seconds and 3.0 seconds.
Note that in one embodiment, prevention table 400 is presented on the touchscreen.Therefore, user must be based only upon Fig. 4 Shown in one or more icons in icon presentation/occur knowing how to touch touch screen and touch how long.However, Because user can (for example, drop-down or customized selection are used in setting screen on an electronic device) setting icon code, So user will be appreciated by/remember the meaning of icon.
In one embodiment, the various combinations of icon shown in table 400 can concentrate in single visual cues and be made With.That is, not being the icon (as depicted in figure 3) that reasonable visual cues entirely have same type, in a reality It applies in example, single visual cues collection can include different icons, so that a tactile from single visual cues collection inputs It must be finger nail, another tactile input from single visual cues collection must be wheel finger tip, come from single visual cues Another tactile input of collection must be to make electronic equipment receive tactile input and therefore to the finger that its own is unlocked Side, etc..
It is performed by one or more processors referring now to Figure 5, presenting to use touch screen to solve electronic equipment The high level flowchart of the one or more steps of lock.After startup program frame 502, detect to the touch screen on electronic equipment Multiple while tactile input (frame 504).Electronic equipment is initially in the state of locking, so that it is allowing to electronic equipment Any access and/or receiving of interior resource, data etc. are to (the example for requiring user to provide before any other input of touch screen Such as, to touch screen) unlocking signal.The example of inaccessible resource includes but is not limited to while touch screen is locked, Browser (for example, browser 146 shown in Fig. 1), network interface in electronic equipment is (for example, network shown in Fig. 1 connects 130) and/or hard disk drive mouth (for example, hard disk drive 134 shown in Fig. 1).
It is determining from the farthest of the multiple while tactile input to touch screen detected as described in block 506 The distance between tactile input.As described in this article, farthest tactile input is (for example, tactile input 202a and tactile input It is 202d) fartherly more physically separate than any other two tactile inputs in the input of multiple while tactile.
As described in frame 508, then calculate it is that the tactile that other detect inputs, such as input and survey from farthest tactile The relative position of amount.For example, relative position can be from the percentage export of the distance between two farthest tactile inputs.
As described in inquiry frame 510, inquired with the relative position of the determining tactile that other are detected input Whether match with the previously stored positioning file for the input of touch screen tactile.If it is, being solved to electronic equipment It locks (frame 512) and flow chart terminates (terminator frame 514).As described in this article, other tactiles detected input Relative position independently of between the farthest tactile input for detecting the multiple while tactile input to touch screen away from Match from the positioning file for the input of touch screen tactile with storage.That is, crucial is not absolute between tactile input Physical separation, but its relative distance for the distance between being inputted according to farthest tactile.(the tactile input set 204 in referring to fig. 2 With tactile input set 206, tactile input set 204 and tactile input set 206 have matched tactile input pattern, even if tactile is defeated The absolute distance entered is different).
As described in this article, in one embodiment of the invention, with farthest tactile input highest distance position and its The visual cues that the relative position for the tactile input that he detects matches are presented on the touchscreen.These visual cues have Specific visual appearance, and touch them and electronic equipment is unlocked.(referring to Fig. 3).As described in this article, one In a embodiment, these visual cues are reasonably to prompt, so that electronic equipment will be unlocked by touching them.
As described in this article, in one embodiment of the invention, vision misleads prompt and is presented on the touchscreen. These visions mislead prompt will be so that electronic equipment keeps locked, even if they and farthest tactile input when being touched by user Highest distance position and other detect tactiles input relative position match.That is, vision, which misleads prompt, has specific view Feel appearance, but touches vision misleading prompt and electronic equipment is maintained in the state of locking.In one embodiment, vision is missed Prompt is led to be laid randomly on touch screen, and in another embodiment, vision misleads prompt and is placed on user initial The place of the finger position of its opening is set during setting.
As described in this article, in one embodiment of the invention, it is placed on touch screen in one embodiment Above so that the vision that the relative position of its highest distance position inputted with farthest tactile and other tactiles detected inputs matches Prompt is according to for hand required by making touch input of the electronic equipment receiving at prompting associated position with particular visual The type (for example, finger nail, finger roll, finger wheel refer to etc.) of abutment and by visual coding.In one embodiment, it retouches State how finger contact must be presented with convenient for being received to be prevented from showing on the touchscreen for the legend of input by electronic equipment.
As described in this article, in one embodiment of the invention, it is placed on touch screen in one embodiment Above so that the vision that the relative position of its highest distance position inputted with farthest tactile and other tactiles detected inputs matches Prompt according in order to make electronic equipment receive touch input at prompting associated position with particular visual need how long (example Such as, minimum time length and maximum time length) and by visual coding.In one embodiment, description finger contacts necessary quilt Present how long in order to by electronic equipment receive for input legend be prevented from showing on the touchscreen.
In addition, in one embodiment of the invention, electronic equipment is unlocked to depend not only on it is placed on finger Where go touch screen, how by finger place on the touchscreen and by finger place on the touchscreen how long, but also take Certainly in the physical orientation of electronic equipment.For example, considering touch screen 200 shown in Figure 2 again.In one embodiment, tactile Input set 204/206 is only in (as depicted in Figure 2) " laterally in electronic equipment (and therefore touch screen 200) (landscape) " just received by (touch screen 200 is component therein) electronic equipment when in orientation.Touch screen 200 compared with Whens wide side (that is, bottom margin of touch screen shown in Figure 2 200) is parallel to ground/floor/wait while being held by user Electronic equipment is in " transverse direction " orientation.Scale etc. is detected (that is, all by the accelerometer, the gravity that find in electronic equipment The physical orientation sensor of (one or more) movement/aspect sensor 154 described as shown in figure 1) detect electronic equipment Physical orientation.
However, in another embodiment, being only oriented in electronic equipment (and therefore touch screen 200) in " longitudinal (portrait) " make the relatively narrow edge of touch screen (that is, the left edge for the touch screen 200 described in Fig. 2 or the right in orientation Edge) be parallel to while being held by user ground/floor/etc. when, 204/206 ability of tactile input set is connect by electronic equipment By.
