Second, system, application, user interface

1. System for controlling a power supply

The system, which may also be referred to as an "operating system," is the interface between the hardware of the terminal device and the applications. At present, when a user uses a terminal device, the user needs to unlock a system first to start an application installed on the terminal device.

2. Applications of

An Application (APP) is an Application program that can be installed and run on a terminal device. The application runs on the operating system of the terminal equipment and runs on the operating system.

Generally, after a User unlocks a system of a terminal device, icons of a plurality of applications are displayed on a User Interface (UI) of the terminal device, and when the User clicks an icon of an application, the terminal device starts the application and further displays the User Interface of the application, so that the User can perform an operation on the application on the User Interface of the application.

3. User interface for an application

When an application is started, the interface of the application displayed on the terminal equipment is the user interface of the application. The user may perform an input operation on the user interface of the application to use the functions provided by the application.

4. Unlocking interface of system

When the terminal device is in a dormant state, if the user clicks the touch display screen of the terminal device, the touch display screen is lightened and an unlocking interface of the system is displayed to the user, for example: a squared figure unlocking interface shown in fig. 3, a sliding unlocking interface shown in fig. 4, a fingerprint unlocking interface shown in fig. 5, etc.

At present, a user operates on an unlocking interface, the user interface displaying various application icons can be seen after unlocking, and the user can start the application after clicking the application icon.

4. Unlocking interface of application

In some embodiments of the invention, a user may switch from an unlock interface of a system to an unlock interface of an application.

After the terminal device displays the unlocking interface of the system to the user on the touch display screen, an operation of switching the user interface by the user can be received on the unlocking interface of the system, such as: and receiving sliding operation of a user on the unlocking interface of the system to the left, the right, the upward or the downward, and further displaying the unlocking interface of the application.

Such as: taking the unlocking interface of the nine-grid system as an example, as shown in fig. 6, the terminal device may display a switching prompt mark, that is, left, right, up, and down arrows above the nine-grid system, on the unlocking interface of the system. The switch prompt mark is used for prompting a user to switch the interface. When a user slides a finger leftwards on the unlocking interface, the terminal device switches the user interface to the unlocking interface of the payment application 1, when the user presses the finger in a fingerprint identification area (the fingerprint identification area can be located on a touch display screen of the terminal device or on a certain key outside the touch display screen), the terminal device collects the fingerprint of the user and matches the collected fingerprint with a stored fingerprint template, and if the matching is successful, the payment application 1 is started. The operation of the user after the payment application 1 is started may be the same as or different from the operation of the current application, and is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

Or, after switching to the unlocking interface of the application, the user identity may not be verified, for example: when the switched application is a music player or a flashlight, the identity of the user may not be verified. Such as: for the music player, the terminal equipment can display a play key, a song selection key and the like on an unlocking interface of the music player, the user clicks the play key, the terminal equipment can play music, the identity of the user does not need to be verified, and the purpose of quickly starting the application is also achieved.

Alternatively, there may be multiple unlocking interfaces of the applications, and the user may set, in advance, on the terminal device, switching to the unlocking interface of which application once, switching to the unlocking interface of which application twice, switching to the unlocking interface of which application, and so on. Or switching to the unlocking interface of different applications to the left, the back, the up or the down respectively.

Third, the state of the terminal device

1. Dormant state

The terminal device may enter the sleep state after receiving no input operation from the user for a long time (e.g., more than 20 seconds), or the user may control the terminal device to enter the sleep state by pressing a key or the like. In the dormant state, some functions of the terminal equipment are closed, and the screen is normally blank, so that the aim of saving electricity can be fulfilled.

When a user needs to use the terminal equipment, the terminal equipment can exit from the dormant state by pressing a key and the like, a screen is usually lightened, an unlocking interface of a system is displayed, and the terminal equipment enters into a system locking state.

2. System locked state

When the terminal device is in the system lock state, the user usually cannot use the application on the terminal device, or can use only a very limited number of applications, such as: emergency calls, music playing, etc.

In the embodiment of the invention, in order to achieve the purpose of quickly starting the application, when the terminal equipment is in a system locking state, a user can also select and start part of the application. In the process of selecting the application, starting and running the application by the user, the terminal equipment is still in a system locking state.

In some embodiments of the present invention, after the terminal device receives a selection operation, which is input by a user on an unlocking interface of the system, of selecting an application from a plurality of applications installed on the terminal device, the terminal device needs to verify the authority of the user to use the application, wherein the terminal device may receive user verification information input by the user and compare the user verification information input by the user with user verification information preset for the application selected by the user, so as to verify the authority of the user to use the application.

In other embodiments of the present invention, after the terminal device receives a selection operation input by the user on the unlocking interface of the system to select an application from a plurality of applications installed on the terminal device, for example: after receiving the switching operation of switching the user from the unlocking interface of the system to the unlocking interface of one application, the terminal equipment directly starts the application selected by the user without verifying the authority of the user for using the application.

3. System unlocked state

In the system unlocking state, the user can select to start all the applications or most of the applications installed in the terminal equipment. At present, a common implementation manner is that a user can select to start all applications installed in a terminal device, but with the development of technology, the system unlocking state is further divided into sub-states, and under different sub-states, the user can select to start applications in different ranges. Such as: applications installed in the terminal device may be divided into several classes in advance, with different sub-states corresponding to different application classes. Under different sub-states, the user can select the different levels of the started applications, so as to realize the flexible setting of the user permission.

Fourthly, inputting a first selection operation on an unlocking interface of the system by a user

In the embodiment of the invention, when the terminal equipment is in the system locking state, a first selection operation input by a user on an unlocking interface of the system can be received, and the first selection operation knowledge user selects an application needing to be unlocked from a plurality of applications installed on the terminal equipment. Wherein the first selection operation may include, but is not limited to, one or more of the following operations:

1. inputting voice;

2. performing key operation;

3. switching operation of switching the unlocking interface of the system to the unlocking interface of one application in the plurality of applications by a user, and selecting operation of starting the application on the switched interface;

4. and clicking an icon of one application on an unlocking interface of the system by the user.

Such as: for 1, voice input, after the terminal device exits the sleep state, the user can input "payment application 1" by voice, the terminal device receives the voice input, and recognizes that the user wants to start the payment application 1.

In some embodiments of the present invention, after recognizing that the user wants to start the payment application 1, the terminal device may display an unlocking interface of the payment application 1 on the touch display screen, the user inputs user authentication information, the terminal device verifies the authority for starting the payment application 1 according to the user authentication information input by the user, and if the verification passes, the payment application 1 is started.

Or after recognizing that the user wants to start the payment application 1, the terminal device performs voice recognition on the payment application 1 which is just voice-inputted by the user, extracts voice feature information of the voice of the user, compares the extracted voice feature information with voice feature information (used for user identity authentication) corresponding to the pre-stored payment application 1, and starts the payment application 1 if the extracted voice feature information is consistent with the pre-stored voice feature information.

In other embodiments of the present invention, after recognizing that the user wants to start the payment application 1, the terminal device directly starts the payment application 1 without performing authentication of the user.

For another example: for 2, key operation, some common applications may be considered when designing the terminal device, such as: social-related applications, payment applications, making phone calls, etc. And setting one or more keys respectively corresponding to the preset applications, and when a user presses the keys, determining that the user selects the application corresponding to the keys by the terminal equipment.

For another example: and 3, switching operation of switching the unlocking interface of the system to the unlocking interface of one application in the plurality of applications by the user, and selecting the operation of starting the application on the switched interface. Such as: for the situation shown in fig. 6, the user slides a finger leftward on the unlocking interface of the system, and switches to the unlocking interface of the payment application 1, and the user presses the fingerprint identification area displayed on the unlocking interface of the payment application 1, on one hand, the terminal device determines that the user selects the payment application 1 when sensing the pressing operation of the user in the fingerprint identification area; on the other hand, the terminal equipment can adopt the user fingerprint to identify the user fingerprint in the process that the user presses the fingerprint identification area, and the user identity verification is completed.

For another example: 4. the method comprises the steps that a user clicks an application icon on an unlocking interface of a system, a terminal device can display a plurality of application icons on the unlocking interface of the system, the user can click one of the application icons on the unlocking interface of the system through a finger, a touch pen or other devices, and the terminal device determines that the user selects one application after perceiving that the user clicks the application icon.

And then, if the terminal equipment needs to verify the authority of the user for using the application, the application is started after the identity verification of the user is passed. Such as: the unlocking interface of the application can be displayed, and user authentication information input on the unlocking interface of the application by a user is received. And if the authority of the user for using the application is not required to be verified, directly starting the application.

Fifthly, user authentication information

In some embodiments of the present invention, after the terminal device receives the first selection operation, the terminal device may receive user authentication information input by a user, compare the user authentication information input by the user with user authentication information set for an application selected by the user, and if the comparison is consistent, start the application selected by the user.

The categories of information to which these user authentication information belong may include, but are not limited to, one or more of the following categories:

1. unlocking pattern

Such as: in the nine-square unlocking pattern shown in fig. 3, the terminal device compares the unlocking pattern input by the user with the preset user verification information for the application selected by the user, and if the comparison is consistent, the application selected by the user is started

2. User speech

The terminal equipment can extract the voice characteristic information of the voice input by the user, compares the extracted voice characteristic information with the preset voice characteristic information aiming at the application selected by the user, and starts the application selected by the user if the extracted voice characteristic information is consistent with the preset voice characteristic information aiming at the application selected by the user.

3. User facial feature information

The terminal equipment can start the camera, collect the face image of the user, obtain the image characteristic information of the face image, compare the image characteristic information obtained with the preset image characteristic information aiming at the application selected by the user, and if the comparison is consistent, start the application selected by the user.

4. User gesture information

The terminal equipment can start the camera, collect gestures input by a user, acquire gesture characteristic information of the gestures, compare the acquired gesture characteristic information with gesture characteristic information preset for the application selected by the user, and if the acquired gesture characteristic information is consistent with the preset gesture characteristic information, start the application selected by the user.

5. User fingerprint

The terminal equipment can start a fingerprint identification function of a fingerprint identification area on an unlocking interface of the application selected by the user, collect the fingerprint input by the user, compare the acquired fingerprint with a pre-stored fingerprint template aiming at the application selected by the user, and start the application selected by the user if the acquired fingerprint is consistent with the pre-stored fingerprint template aiming at the application selected by the user.

6. Character string

The terminal device can display a text input box on an unlocking interface of the application selected by the user and prompt the user to input a password (such as voice prompt or text prompt), the terminal device receives a character string input by the user in the text input box, compares the character string input by the user with the preset password for the application selected by the user, and starts the application selected by the user if the character string input by the user is consistent with the preset password for the application selected by the user.

The above categories of various user authentication information are only examples, and in practical applications, the terminal device may use the multiple user authentication information in combination, for example: the face recognition and the gesture recognition are combined, the face image and the gesture of the user are collected through the camera, and the user identity is verified by integrating two pieces of information.

Next, the flow of the two kinds of start-up applications shown in fig. 7 and 8 will be described.

These two flows can be implemented by the terminal device 20 shown in fig. 2. With respect to the flow shown in fig. 7, when the started application is a payment application, the flow can be applied to the system shown in fig. 1.

In the flow shown in fig. 7, the terminal device needs to verify the user identity, and in the flow shown in fig. 8, the terminal device does not need to verify the user identity.

As shown in fig. 7, the process of starting the application may include the following steps:

s701: prompting a user to input a selection operation on an unlocking interface of the system;

the selection operation is used for selecting an application needing to be unlocked from a plurality of applications installed on the terminal equipment by a user;

s702: receiving a first selection operation input by a user on an unlocking interface of the system;

the first selection operation indicates that the application needing to be unlocked by the user is a first application;

s703: presenting an unlocking interface of the first application;

s704: receiving user authentication information input by a user on an unlocking interface of a first application;

s705: comparing user authentication information input by a user with user authentication information preset by a first application;

if the comparison result is consistent, executing step S706;

s706: the first application is launched.

A plurality of applications are usually installed on a terminal device, and optionally, in the flow shown in fig. 7, before step S701, the following operations may be further performed to preset some applications as applications that are started quickly:

Wherein, the user can select part of applications from a plurality of applications already installed on the terminal device for presetting, and the applications can be started quickly by adopting the flow shown in fig. 7.

The two steps can be implemented by an application management tool provided by the terminal device, such as: a cell phone housekeeper, a cell phone assistant, etc.

Such as: and the terminal equipment receives the input operation of starting a mobile phone manager by a user in a system unlocking state, and displays a list of applications installed in the terminal equipment on a touch display screen of the terminal equipment.

The terminal device may receive an operation of selecting one or more applications in the list by the user, and prompt the user whether to set the applications as "fast-start applications," that is, the fast start of the applications may be implemented through the process shown in fig. 7.

If an input operation that the user determines to set the applications as "fast-start applications" is received, the applications are marked as "fast-start applications".

Further, the terminal device prompts the user to set user authentication information for each application on the touch display screen. Optionally, the user may be prompted to select one or more of a plurality of ways to authenticate, such as: face recognition, fingerprint recognition, character string verification, voice recognition, unlocking pattern verification and the like.

Or, the terminal device may also prompt the user to set the same user authentication information for all selected applications on the touch display screen, or prompt the user to set the same user authentication information for some selected applications. Such as: for the payment-related application, an identity verification mode with higher safety such as fingerprint identification can be adopted; for local entertainment-related applications, that is, entertainment-related applications (local music playing, local video playing, etc.) that do not consume data transmission traffic, an authentication mode with low security, such as gesture recognition, can be adopted.

And if the user selects a certain verification mode, the terminal equipment acquires the user verification information in the verification mode.

Such as: for face recognition, the user can be prompted to take a picture, a face photo of the user is shot, the shot face photo is used as user verification information, or key feature information in the face photo is extracted, and the extracted key feature information is used as the user verification information.

For another example: for fingerprint identification, a user can be prompted to enter a fingerprint, when the finger of the user contacts a fingerprint identification area, the fingerprint of the user is collected, and the collected fingerprint of the user is used as a fingerprint template, namely user authentication information.

For another example: for voice recognition, a user can be prompted to input voice, the voice input by the user is obtained through a microphone, and voice feature information of the voice input by the microphone is extracted and used as user verification information.

For another example: for string verification, the user may be prompted to enter a password, with the string entered by the user as user verification information.

For another example: for the unlocking pattern verification, the user can be prompted to input the unlocking pattern, and the unlocking pattern input by the user is used as user verification information.

No matter what authentication method is adopted, the terminal equipment can prompt the user to acquire user authentication information for multiple times so as to ensure the accuracy of user identity authentication.

The terminal equipment can store the user authentication information in the memory, subsequently read the user authentication information from the memory when authenticating the user identity, compare the user authentication information input by the user when starting a certain application with the user authentication information read from the memory, and start the application if the comparison is consistent.

If the user authentication information corresponding to different applications is not identical, when storing the user authentication information, it is also necessary to mark which application or applications the user authentication information corresponds to respectively.

In the flow shown in fig. 7, in the implementation after the application is started in step S706, the implementation of the application on the current terminal device may be referred to, that is, the flow executed by the application is determined by the implementation of the application itself, for example: showing a user what user interface, prompting the user to enter what information, etc.

By adopting the flow shown in fig. 7, compared with the current flow for starting the application, the step of receiving an unlocking operation performed by a user on an unlocking interface of the system can be avoided, and the operation of searching for an icon of the application to be started from a plurality of applications by the user can also be avoided, such as: the user only sets a few applications which are the applications to be started quickly, the operation of determining the applications to be started from the few applications is relatively simpler, the terminal equipment usually avoids the operation of repeatedly switching the screen, and the phenomenon that the user mistakenly clicks icons of other applications to cause the wrong application starting to occupy the processing resources of the terminal equipment can also be avoided.

Optionally, after step S706, step S707 may be further included: and after the user finishes the operation execution aiming at the selected application, the terminal equipment enters a system locking state.

After the user finishes the operation execution of the application, the terminal equipment enters a system locking state, and the use safety of the terminal equipment can be ensured.

An application scenario is envisioned:

the user checks out in the supermarket by using the payment application. And the user takes out the mobile phone, selects one payment application and inputs user verification information under the system locking state, and if the user verification information is consistent with the user verification information set for the payment application on the terminal equipment, the terminal equipment starts the payment application.

The user operates on the user interface of the payment application, such as: inputting payment amount, payment password, short message verification code and the like, and clicking a confirmation button; the terminal equipment is connected with a remote server, a payment request message carrying the information input by the user is sent to the server, the server carries out payment processing after passing the verification of the payment password and the short message verification code and confirming that the available balance of the user account is not less than the payment amount input by the user, and payment confirmation information used for confirming the successful payment is returned to the terminal equipment.

After the terminal equipment prompts the user that the payment operation is successful on the user interface of the payment application, if the user has no other input operation within the preset time length, the system enters a system locking state.

Or the code scanning device of the supermarket scans the payment bar code, and the payment bar code is displayed on the user interface of the payment application and used for finishing the payment operation of the user. The shop assistant in the supermarket finishes payment after scanning the payment bar code by using the bar code scanning device, and optionally, the terminal device can prompt the user that the payment operation is successful. And if the user has no other input operation within the preset time length, the terminal equipment enters a system locking state.

There are many ways in which payment applications implement payments, such as: two-dimensional code scanning, payment password input, and the like, and the payment method is not limited by the flow shown in fig. 7.

It should be noted that, after the user finishes executing the operation for the application, the terminal device enters a system locking state, which is better close to an actual payment scenario.

At this time, the user uses the terminal device as a wallet or credit card, and after the payment is completed, the user does not perform other operations, such as: the terminal equipment is directly placed in the wallet, and under the condition, the terminal equipment enters a system locking state, so that the use habit of a user is better met, and the use safety of the terminal equipment can be ensured.

In the flow shown in fig. 7, the user identity needs to be verified. In the flow shown in fig. 8, the user identity does not need to be verified. Referring to fig. 8, the process includes the following steps:

s801: receiving switching operation of a user from an unlocking interface of a system to an unlocking interface of one application of a plurality of applications installed on the terminal equipment;

after receiving the switching operation in step S801, the terminal device may determine that the user selects an application corresponding to the switched unlocking interface.

S802: receiving an operation that a user selects to start an application on a switched unlocking interface of the application;

through steps S801 and S802, the terminal device may determine that the user wants to start the application corresponding to the switched unlock interface.

S803: starting an application selected to be started by a user;

optionally, the flow illustrated in fig. 8 may further include step S804: and after the user finishes the operation execution aiming at the selected application, the terminal equipment enters a system locking state.

For specific implementation and corresponding technical effects of step S804, refer to step S707, and are not described herein again.

Similar to the flow shown in fig. 7, before step S801, an operation of setting a quickly started application may be further included

An alternative way to implement step S801 may refer to fig. 9.

Still taking the unlocking interface of the nine-grid system as an example, optionally, the prompt sign is switched up and down on the unlocking interface of the system, that is, the left, right, up and down arrows above the nine-grid.

As shown in fig. 9, when the user slides the finger to the left on the unlock interface, the terminal device switches the user interface to the unlock interface of the entertainment application 1. After the user clicks the 'confirm on' button on the unlocking interface of the entertainment application 1, the terminal device determines that the user selects starting the entertainment application 1, and then the terminal device starts the entertainment application 1.

The system does not need to be unlocked, and when the number of the applications which are set by the user and are started quickly is small, the user can find the applications to be started quickly, so that the purpose of starting the applications quickly is achieved.

Next, a flow shown in fig. 10 is described, which takes a payment application as an example, and verifies the user identity through fingerprint identification. This flow may be regarded as an example of the flow shown in fig. 7.

The terminal equipment is in a dormant state, and the touch display screen of the terminal equipment keeps a black screen.

S1001: the terminal equipment receives a user wake-up operation, such as: receiving the operation of pressing a start key by a user;

s1002: the terminal device displays an unlocking interface of the system on the touch display screen, and displays an unlocking pattern and a switching prompt sign (such as the switching prompt sign shown in fig. 6) on the unlocking interface of the system; detecting input operation of a user on an unlocking interface of the system; if the user is detected to slide a finger on the unlocking pattern, executing step S1003; if the operation of switching the interface by the user is detected, for example: sliding a finger on the touch display screen leftwards, rightwards, upwards or downwards according to the switching prompt mark, and executing a step S1004;

s1003: judging whether the unlocking pattern input by the user is correct or not, if so, executing step S1005; otherwise, go to step S1006;

s1004: displaying an unlocking interface of the switched payment application (such as the payment application 1), and prompting the user to input fingerprints, such as: displaying a fingerprint identification area as shown in fig. 6; and detecting an input operation of a user on an unlocking interface of the payment application 1; if the pressing operation on the user fingerprint identification area is detected, executing step S1007; if the operation of switching the interface is detected and the operation is to switch to the unlocking interface of the system, returning to the step S1002;

s1005: the terminal equipment enters a system unlocking state;

s1006: prompting a user unlocking pattern input error on an unlocking interface of the system;

s1007: collecting a user fingerprint, and matching the collected user fingerprint with a pre-stored fingerprint template; if the matching is successful, executing step S1008; if the matching fails, step S1009 is executed;

s1008: launch payment application 1; after the user completes payment by using the payment application 1, the terminal device returns to the system locking state.

And the terminal equipment sends a payment request to a payment server corresponding to the application payment 1, waits for the authorization of the server, and completes the payment after the authorization of the server.

S1009: prompting the user that the application fails to start, and prompting the user whether to switch to an unlocking interface of other applications, as shown in fig. 11; and detecting an input operation of a user; if an input operation of switching to an unlocking interface of another application by the user is detected, for example: if the finger slides leftwards on the touch display screen, executing step S1010; if an input operation of switching to an unlocking interface of the system by a user is detected, for example: if a finger slides to the right on the touch display screen, step S1002 is executed;

s1010: displaying an unlocking interface switched to the application on the touch display screen (assuming that the application corresponding to the unlocking interface is the payment application 2, displaying the unlocking interface of the payment application 2); if the unlocking is successful, starting the payment application 2 to complete the payment operation of the user, and then returning the terminal equipment to the system locking state; if the unlocking is failed, the user can still be prompted to switch to an unlocking interface of the system or unlocking interfaces of other applications, and the like, and the processing of the terminal device for the payment application 2 is similar to the processing of the payment application 1, and is not described again here.
