Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, the second operation input by the user may specifically be: the method comprises the following steps that clicking operation of a user on a target position of a lock screen interface, pressing operation of the user on the target position of the lock screen interface, specific gestures of the user on the target position of the lock screen interface, or drawing of a pattern on the target position of the lock screen interface by the user. The above-mentioned clicking operation and the specific gesture may refer to the above description, and are not described herein again.

And S204, responding to the second operation, and unlocking the screen locking interface under the condition that the at least one target position is matched with the preset unlocking position by the terminal equipment.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the preset unlocking position may be associated with a lock screen pattern displayed on the lock screen interface, or may be associated with a display position (first position) of the first pattern.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the preset unlocking position is associated with the first position, that is, a corresponding relationship between the preset unlocking position and the first position is stored in the terminal device, or a preset policy for setting the preset unlocking position based on the first position is set.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the preset unlocking position is associated with a screen locking pattern displayed on a screen locking interface, that is, the preset unlocking position in the embodiment of the present invention may change with the difference of the screen locking pattern displayed on the screen locking interface. For example, the lock screen pattern in the lock screen interface may be customized in the background by the user, for example, any pattern that the user wants to unlock, such as a cartoon, a landscape, a self-portrait image, and the like, and the content of the pattern is not limited by the present invention.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the user sets the preset unlocking position, an impressive position of the user may be selected as the preset unlocking position according to image features in the specific lock screen pattern, so that the preset unlocking position selected by the user has personalized characteristics of the user, and an illegal user cannot easily acquire the preset unlocking position.

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present invention, the preset unlocking positions include N preset unlocking positions, and in a scenario where the N preset unlocking positions are associated with the screen locking pattern:

if the at least one target location comprises: the first target position and the second target position, and the second operation is a sliding operation in which the user slides from the first target position to the second target position, then the step S204 specifically includes the following steps:

step a1, the terminal device obtains the sliding track of the sliding operation.

And step A2, the terminal equipment unlocks the screen locking interface under the condition that the sliding track sequentially passes through the N preset unlocking positions.

Further optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the user slides on the lock screen interface, the first pattern moves simultaneously with the sliding operation of the user, and when the sliding operation passes through the preset unlocking position, the first pattern or the pattern at the preset unlocking position is highlighted to prompt the user that the unlocking is correct.

when the at least one target position includes N target positions, and the second operation is a touch operation performed by the user at the N target positions (for example, the touch operation may be a touch operation performed by the user at the N target positions in sequence), the step S204 specifically includes the following steps:

and step B, the terminal equipment unlocks the screen locking interface under the condition that the N target positions are matched with the N preset unlocking positions.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the touch operation may specifically be: the method comprises the steps of clicking operation of a user on a lock screen interface, pressing operation of the user on the lock screen interface and the like. The clicking operation can be a single-click operation, a double-click operation or a continuous clicking operation for a preset number of times.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the matching of the N target positions and the N preset unlocking positions means that the N target positions are the same as the N preset unlocking positions, for example, assuming that the preset unlocking positions are a position a, a position B, and a position C on the lock screen interface, only the positions where the second operation is the three-time touch operation of the user on the lock screen interface are respectively: and the screen locking interface is unlocked only at the position A, the position B and the position C.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the matching between the N target positions and the N preset unlocking positions means that the arrangement sequence of the N target positions is the same as the arrangement sequence of the N preset unlocking positions, for example, it is assumed that the preset unlocking positions are position a, position B, and position C on the lock screen interface, and the arrangement sequence of the positions is position a, position B, and position C, so that only when the first operation is three times of continuous clicking operations of the user on the lock screen interface, the positions respectively corresponding to the first operation are: and the terminal equipment can unlock the screen only at the position A, the position B and the position C.

Further optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the user touches the lock screen interface, the first pattern moves along with the touch operation of the user, and when the touch operation is the same as the preset unlock position, the first pattern or the pattern at the preset unlock position is highlighted to prompt the user that the unlock operation is correct.

For example, assuming that a screen locking pattern displayed in a screen locking interface of a terminal device is a mickey mouse pattern, and a first control on the screen locking interface is exemplified by a circle, if an unlocking start position in preset unlocking positions is a left ear of the mickey mouse, as shown in (a) in fig. 3, when a user clicks the left ear of a person, the circle moving around in the screen locking interface is automatically positioned to the left ear of the mickey; if the user clicks on the left ear of a Mickey mouse, the circle will not respond and the user will not unlock the mouse. As shown in fig. 3 (b), it is assumed that the preset unlocking positions set by the user are respectively: when left ear, nose and right foot, if the position that the user clicked on the lock screen interface in proper order does respectively: when the left ear, the nose and the right foot are clicked by a user, the circle can move to the left ear, the nose and the right foot in sequence, and the screen can be unlocked only when the circle sequentially passes through the three positions.

Optionally, in the scenario that the N preset unlocking positions are associated with the screen locking pattern, a setting process of the preset unlocking positions is described below.

As shown in fig. 4, in the embodiment of the present invention, the method further includes the following steps S301 to S304:

and S301, the terminal equipment receives a third operation.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the third operation is used to trigger a setting interface for presetting an unlocking position.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, the third operation input by the user may specifically be: the method comprises the following steps that a user presses a function control on a main desktop of the terminal device, or clicks the main desktop of the terminal device, or a voice instruction input by the user, or a specific gesture input by the user. The above-mentioned clicking operation and the specific gesture may refer to the above description, and are not described herein again.

And S302, responding to the second operation, and displaying a setting interface by the terminal equipment.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the screen locking pattern displayed on the setting interface includes X number of to-be-selected unlocking positions.

And S303, the terminal equipment receives a fourth operation.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the fourth operation is a selection operation of a user at a Y first to-be-selected unlocking position, and X to-be-selected unlocking positions include: y first to-be-selected unlock positions, Y being less than or equal to X. For example, in the embodiment of the present invention, a user may select Y first to-be-selected unlocking positions as preset unlocking positions from X to-be-selected unlocking positions in a lock screen pattern displayed on a setting interface.

S304, responding to the fourth operation, and enabling the terminal equipment to take the Y first unlocking positions to be selected as preset unlocking positions.

In the embodiment of the invention, the terminal device can only store the position information of the Y first unlocking positions to be selected, so that when the target position is the same as the pre-stored Y first unlocking positions to be selected, the screen can be unlocked; the selection sequence of the Y first to-be-selected unlocking positions selected by the user can be stored while the position information of the Y first to-be-selected unlocking positions is stored, so that the screen can be unlocked when the point contact sequence or the sliding sequence of the target position is the same as the pre-stored selection sequence of the Y first to-be-selected unlocking positions.

According to the screen unlocking method provided by the embodiment of the invention, after receiving the first operation, the terminal equipment can display the first pattern on the first position of the screen locking interface, then receive the second operation of the user on at least one target position of the screen locking interface, and unlock the screen locking interface under the condition that at least one target position is matched with the preset unlocking position. The preset unlocking position is related to the first position or the screen locking pattern displayed on the screen locking interface, so that when the terminal equipment changes the screen locking pattern displayed on the screen locking interface or changes the display position of the first pattern on the screen locking interface, the preset unlocking position can be changed accordingly, the difficulty of an illegal user in cracking the unlocking position from the screen locking interface is increased, and the safety of screen unlocking is improved.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the second operation is a pressing operation, the terminal device may identify whether the user is the owner by determining whether the pressing force value corresponding to the pressing operation of the user meets a pressing force value customary for the user according to the usage habit of the user.

Illustratively, the foregoing S204 specifically includes the following steps:

and step C, responding to the second operation, the terminal equipment acquires a pressing force value corresponding to the pressing operation under the condition that at least one target position is matched with the preset unlocking position, and the screen locking interface is unlocked when the absolute difference value between the pressing force value and the preset pressing force value is smaller than or equal to a preset threshold value.

In the embodiment of the present invention, if the at least one target position includes N target positions, the second operation is a pressing operation of the user on the N target positions of the lock screen interface, and therefore, when the step C is executed, the user may perform a pressure determination on the pressing operation of the user on each target position, or may perform a pressure determination on one or more pressing operations selected from the N pressing operations corresponding to the N target positions, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present invention.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the preset pressing force value is obtained by the terminal device according to the pressing force value of the pressing operation of the user history, and the predetermined threshold may be flexibly set according to the actual application scenario. Specifically, the terminal device may average pressing force values of the pressing operations of the user within a predetermined time period to obtain an average pressing force value, or may count pressing force values corresponding to the pressing operations of the user within the predetermined time period, and use the pressing force value with the highest occurrence frequency as the preset pressing force value.

Therefore, according to the use habit of the user, whether the pressing force value of the pressing operation of the user unlocking the screen meets the usual pressing force value of the user or not is judged, whether the current user is the owner of the mobile phone is identified, and the safety of screen unlocking is improved.

The following describes a screen unlocking method according to an embodiment of the present invention with reference to a method flowchart of the screen unlocking method shown in fig. 5. As shown in fig. 5, the method includes S401 to S405:

s401, the terminal equipment receives a first operation of a user.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the first operation is an operation of a user at a second position of the screen locking interface.

S402, responding to the first operation, the terminal device displays a second pattern on a second position.

And S403, the terminal device displays the first pattern at the first position under the condition that the characteristic information of the second pattern is matched with the preset characteristic information.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the feature information of the pattern includes position information and shape information of the pattern.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the matching of the feature information of the second pattern and the preset feature information means that the shape of the bolus of the second pattern is the same as the shape of the preset pattern, and/or the second position is the same as the second preset unlocking position.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the first pattern and the second pattern may have the same pattern shape or different pattern shapes. For example, the shape of the first pattern and/or the second pattern may be any possible shape such as a circle, a rectangle, a triangle, a diamond, or a polygon, which may be determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited.

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present invention, the first pattern and/or the second pattern may be displayed on the screen locking interface in a superimposed manner. Specifically, the first pattern and/or the second pattern may be displayed on the screen locking interface in a superimposed manner with a preset transparency. For example, if the preset transparency is denoted as T2, the value range of T2 may be 0% < T2< 100%.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the terminal device displays the first pattern at the first position, which is mainly used when the first position is prompted to the user on the screen locking interface, at this time, the terminal device may directly display a specific pattern at the first position of the screen locking interface, or highlight the pattern at the first position of the screen locking interface, or display a dynamic pattern at the first position of the screen locking interface, or dynamically display the pattern at the first position of the screen locking interface.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, before the terminal device displays the first pattern at the first position, the first position may be determined according to the second position.

In one example, when the terminal device determines the first location according to the second location, the terminal device may find the first location corresponding to the second location from the location correspondence table. For example, the location correspondence table includes location information of at least one first location and location information of at least one second location, and one first location corresponds to one second location. It should be noted that the terminal device may divide the entire screen locking interface into a plurality of partitions, each partition corresponds to a first location, and the division of the partitions may be flexibly set according to actual conditions, or the terminal device may also divide an area commonly used by a user in the screen locking interface into a plurality of partitions according to a history behavior record of the user, and each partition corresponds to a first location. The invention is not limited in this regard.

S404, the terminal equipment receives a second operation of the user on at least one target position of the screen locking interface.

S405, responding to the second operation, and unlocking the screen locking interface under the condition that the at least one target position is matched with the preset unlocking position by the terminal equipment.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the preset unlocking position is associated with a first position and a second position. The target position is different from the first position and the second position.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, the preset unlocking position may be on a connection line between the first position and the second position, in other words, a center point of the preset unlocking position is on a connection line between a center point of the first position and a center point of the second position, or on a central vertical line of a line segment using the center point of the first position and the center point of the second position as end points.

For example, the center point of the preset unlocking position is on the connection line between the center point of the first position and the center point of the second position. As shown in fig. 6 (a), when the user wants to unlock the screen, the user draws a triangle at position a, and if the position of the preset pattern preset by the user is also position a, the terminal device automatically displays a triangle at position B as shown in fig. 6 (B). After the user sees the triangle, as shown in (C) of fig. 6, the user presses the center point of the position a and the position B (i.e., the position C in (C) of fig. 6), and if the position C matches the preset unlocking position, the screen locking interface is unlocked.

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present invention, the step S405 specifically includes the following steps:

and E, responding to the second operation, and under the condition that at least one target position is matched with the preset unlocking position, the terminal equipment displays the first pattern displayed on the first position and the second pattern displayed on the second position in an exchange mode.

For example, taking the first operation as an operation of the user drawing the second pattern at the second position as an example, as shown in (a) of fig. 7, when the user wants to unlock the screen, the user draws a triangle at the position a (i.e., the second position), and if the position of the preset pattern preset by the user is also the position a, at this time, as shown in (B) of fig. 7, the terminal device automatically displays a circle at the position B (the first position). Next, as shown in fig. 7 (C), the user presses one half of the connecting line between the position a and the position B (i.e., the position C in fig. 7 (C)), and if the position C matches the preset unlock position, the triangle at the position a and the circle at the position B are displayed in an exchange manner, and the lock screen interface is unlocked after the display.

It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the above detailed description may be directly referred to for the above related description (for example, the detailed description in S401 and S403 to S405 may refer to the specific description in S201 to S204), and is not repeated here.

According to the screen unlocking method provided by the embodiment of the invention, after receiving the first operation of the user on the second position of the screen locking interface, the terminal equipment displays the first position on the screen locking interface, at the moment, if the terminal equipment is a local user, the preset unlocking position can be determined according to the first position and the second position after the first position is obtained, so that the screen locking interface is unlocked, and if the terminal equipment is an illegal user, the preset unlocking position can not be determined because the purposes of the first position and the second position can not be obtained, so that the screen unlocking can not be carried out.
