Description

Unlocking method and device

Technical Field

The embodiment of the invention relates to the technical field of communication, in particular to an unlocking method and device.

Background

At present, the mobile phone can be automatically unlocked by establishing connection with a smart watch, an earphone or a sound device and other Bluetooth devices. For example, when the mobile phone of the same user is connected with the bracelet through the bluetooth protocol, the user can add the bracelet as a trusted device on the mobile phone, and then when the mobile phone is connected with the bracelet, the mobile phone can be automatically unlocked, so that the inconvenience that the user needs to frequently and manually unlock the mobile phone is avoided.

However, in the bluetooth communication mode, the maximum connection distance between the bracelet and the mobile phone may reach 10-15 meters when the bracelet and the mobile phone are in a connection state, that is, when the user wears the bracelet at a distance of 15 meters from the mobile phone, the mobile phone may be automatically unlocked, but the mobile phone may not be within a visible or operable controllable distance (for example, 2 meters) of the user, which undoubtedly increases the security risk of important information leakage in the mobile phone.

Disclosure of Invention

The embodiment of the invention provides an unlocking method and device, which can automatically adjust the safety distance of automatic unlocking of electronic equipment in different use scenes and reduce the safety risk of revealing user privacy.

In order to achieve the above purpose, the embodiment of the invention adopts the following technical scheme:

in a first aspect, an embodiment of the present invention provides an unlocking method, including: when the first electronic equipment and the second electronic equipment are in a connection state, the first electronic equipment acquires the equipment type of the second electronic equipment; the first electronic equipment determines an unlocking distance between the first electronic equipment and the second electronic equipment according to the equipment type of the second electronic equipment; and when the actual distance between the first electronic equipment and the second electronic equipment is smaller than the unlocking distance, the first electronic equipment is automatically unlocked. Therefore, the first electronic equipment can adjust the unlocking distance of automatic unlocking under different use scenes according to the equipment type of the second electronic equipment connected with the first electronic equipment, and the problem of potential safety hazard of user privacy disclosure caused by too far setting of the unlocking distance is avoided.

In one possible design method, the determining, by a first electronic device, an unlocking distance between the first electronic device and a second electronic device according to a device type of the second electronic device includes: when the device type of the second electronic device is a first type, the first electronic device determines a first threshold value as an unlocking distance between the first electronic device and the second electronic device; when the device type of the second electronic device is a second type, the first electronic device determines a second threshold as an unlocking distance between the first electronic device and the second electronic device, the second threshold is greater than the first threshold, and the mobility of the first type of electronic device is higher than that of the second type of electronic device.

It can be seen that, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the first electronic device to be unlocked is an electronic device with a relatively weak mobility, the unlocking distance between the first electronic device and the second electronic device may be appropriately widened, and when the first electronic device to be unlocked is an electronic device with a relatively strong mobility, the unlocking distance between the first electronic device and the second electronic device may be appropriately shortened. That is to say, the unlocking distance between the first electronic device and the second electronic device can be adaptively adjusted according to the device type of the first electronic device, so that the trouble that a user carries the first electronic device to frequently unlock the first electronic device by hand when moving near the second electronic device with weaker mobility is avoided, and meanwhile, the risk of information leakage caused by overlarge unlocking distance when the first electronic device is connected with the second electronic device with stronger mobility is reduced.

In one possible design method, after the first electronic device determines, according to a device type of the second electronic device, an unlocking distance between the first electronic device and the second electronic device, the method further includes: the method comprises the steps that first electronic equipment obtains a target position where the first electronic equipment is located; the first electronic device adjusts the unlocking distance according to the target position.

In one possible design method, the adjusting, by the first electronic device, the unlocking distance according to the target position includes: when the target position is located in a first preset area, the first electronic device increases the unlocking distance; when the target position is located in a second preset area, the first electronic device reduces the unlocking distance, wherein the security level of the first electronic device in the first preset area is higher than that of the first electronic device in the second preset area.

In this way, different unlocking distances can be set for the first electronic device in different application scenes according to the target position of the master control device (i.e. the first electronic device) and the device type of the slave device (i.e. the second electronic device), so that the first electronic device can be automatically unlocked in a relatively safe environment, and the trouble of frequently executing unlocking operation by a user is avoided; and the locking state is kept in the environment with higher security risk, so that the first electronic equipment is prevented from being used by a user without the operation authority of the first electronic equipment, and the information security in the first electronic equipment is improved.

In one possible design approach, the unlock distance is used to indicate a preset target signal strength; when the actual distance between the first electronic device and the second electronic device is smaller than the unlocking distance, the first electronic device is automatically unlocked, and the method comprises the following steps: the method comprises the steps that a first electronic device obtains the real-time signal intensity between the first electronic device and a second electronic device; and when the real-time signal intensity is greater than the target signal intensity, the first electronic equipment is automatically unlocked.

In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present invention provides an unlocking method, including: when the first electronic equipment and the second electronic equipment are in a connection state, the first electronic equipment acquires a target position where the first electronic equipment is located; the first electronic equipment determines the unlocking distance between the first electronic equipment and the second electronic equipment according to the target position; and when the actual distance between the first electronic equipment and the second electronic equipment is smaller than the unlocking distance, the first electronic equipment is automatically unlocked.

In one possible design method, determining, by the first electronic device, an unlocking distance between the first electronic device and the second electronic device according to the target position includes: when the target position is located in a first preset area, the first electronic device determines a first preset value as an unlocking distance between the first electronic device and the second electronic device; when the target position is located in a second preset area, the first electronic device determines a second preset value as an unlocking distance between the first electronic device and the second electronic device, wherein the security level of the first electronic device in the first preset area is higher than that of the first electronic device in the second preset area, and the first preset value is larger than the second preset value.

That is to say, when the first electronic device to be unlocked is in an area with a higher security level, the unlocking distance between the first electronic device and the second electronic device may be appropriately widened, and when the first electronic device to be unlocked is in an area with a lower security level, the unlocking distance between the first electronic device and the second electronic device may be appropriately shortened. Therefore, the unlocking distance between the first electronic device and the second electronic device can be adaptively adjusted according to the position of the first electronic device, the trouble that a user frequently and manually unlocks the electronic device in a place with a higher security level is avoided, and meanwhile, the risk that information leakage is caused by automatic unlocking of the electronic device in a place with a lower security level is reduced.

Detailed Description

In the following, the terms "first", "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and are not to be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, "a plurality" means two or more unless otherwise specified.

An embodiment of the present invention provides an unlocking method, as shown in fig. 1, after a master device (e.g., a first electronic device 21) establishes a communication connection with a slave device (e.g., a second electronic device 22), the first electronic device may automatically adjust an unlocking distance between the first electronic device 21 and the second electronic device 22 according to parameters such as a device type of the second electronic device 22 and/or a geographic location where the first electronic device 21 is located. For example, when the device type of the second electronic device 22 is a wearable device such as a watch, since the user usually wears the second electronic device 22 with him, the unlocking distance between the first electronic device 21 and the second electronic device 22 may be set to be close to 1 meter, for example, so that when the actual distance between the first electronic device 21 and the second electronic device 22 is less than 1 meter, that is, the first electronic device 21 is within the controllable distance of the user, the automatic unlocking of the first electronic device 21 may be triggered, and the security risk that the privacy of the user is leaked is reduced.

For another example, when the first electronic device 21 is located in a user residence, since the security level of the first electronic device 21 is generally higher when the first electronic device 21 is located in the user residence, the first electronic device 21 may set the unlocking distance between the first electronic device 21 and the second electronic device 22 to be longer, for example, 10 meters, so that when the user walks around with the first electronic device 21 at home, as long as the actual distance between the first electronic device 21 and the second electronic device 22 is less than 10 meters, the first electronic device 21 can be automatically unlocked to be in the unlocked state, and the user does not need to frequently trigger the unlocking operation.

It can be seen that in the embodiment of the invention, the first electronic device can adjust the unlocking distance of automatic unlocking according to parameters such as the device type and/or the geographic position under different use scenes, so that the potential safety hazard that privacy of a user is revealed due to too far setting of the unlocking distance and the problem that the user frequently unlocks due to too close setting of the unlocking distance are avoided, and the information safety is ensured while the user experience is improved.

Wherein the touch pad 104-1 can capture touch events on or near the touch pad 104-1 by a user of the cell phone 100 (e.g., user operation on or near the touch pad 104-1 using any suitable object such as a finger, a stylus, etc.) and transmit the captured touch information to other devices, such as the processor 101. Although in FIG. 2, the touch pad 104-1 and the display screen 104-2 are shown as two separate components to implement the input and output functions of the cell phone 100, in some embodiments, the touch pad 104-1 and the display screen 104-2 may be integrated to implement the input and output functions of the cell phone 100. It is understood that the touch screen 104 is formed by stacking multiple layers of materials, and only the touch pad (layer) and the display screen (layer) are shown in the embodiment of the present application, and the other layers are not described in the embodiment of the present application. In addition, in some other embodiments of the present application, the touch pad 104-1 may be covered on the display 104-2, and the size of the touch pad 104-1 is larger than that of the display screen 104-2, so that the display screen 104-2 is completely covered under the touch pad 104-1, or the touch pad 104-1 may be disposed on the front surface of the mobile phone 100 in a full-panel manner, that is, the touch of the user on the front surface of the mobile phone 100 can be sensed by the mobile phone, so that the full-touch experience on the front surface of the mobile phone can be achieved. In other embodiments, the touch pad 104-1 is disposed on the front surface of the mobile phone 100 in a full-panel manner, and the display screen 104-2 may also be disposed on the front surface of the mobile phone 100 in a full-panel manner, so that a frameless structure can be implemented on the front surface of the mobile phone.

In the embodiment of the present application, the mobile phone 100 may further have a fingerprint recognition function. For example, the fingerprint identifier 112 may be disposed on the back side of the handset 100 (e.g., below the rear facing camera), or the fingerprint identifier 112 may be disposed on the front side of the handset 100 (e.g., below the touch screen 104). For another example, the fingerprint acquisition device 112 may be configured in the touch screen 104 to realize a fingerprint identification function, i.e. the fingerprint acquisition device 112 may be integrated with the touch screen 104 to realize the fingerprint identification function of the mobile phone 100. In this case, the fingerprint acquisition device 112 is configured in the touch screen 104, and may be a part of the touch screen 104, or may be configured in other manners in the touch screen 104. The main component of the fingerprint acquisition device 112 in the present embodiment is a fingerprint sensor, which may employ any type of sensing technology, including but not limited to optical, capacitive, piezoelectric, or ultrasonic sensing technologies, etc.

In the embodiment of the present application, the mobile phone 100 may further include a bluetooth device 105 for enabling data exchange between the mobile phone 100 and other short-distance electronic devices (e.g., mobile phone, smart watch, etc.). The bluetooth device in the embodiment of the present application may be an integrated circuit or a bluetooth chip.

The Wi-Fi device 107 is used for providing network access for the mobile phone 100 according to Wi-Fi related standard protocols, the mobile phone 100 can be accessed to a Wi-Fi access point through the Wi-Fi device 107, so that the mobile phone helps a user to send and receive e-mails, browse webpages, access streaming media and the like, and wireless broadband internet access is provided for the user. In other embodiments, the Wi-Fi apparatus 107 can also be a Wi-Fi wireless access point, which can provide Wi-Fi network access to other electronic devices.

The handset 100 may also include at least one sensor 106, such as a light sensor, motion sensor, and other sensors. Specifically, the light sensor may include an ambient light sensor that adjusts the brightness of the display of the touch screen 104 according to the brightness of ambient light, and a proximity sensor that turns off the power of the display when the mobile phone 100 is moved to the ear. As one of the motion sensors, the accelerometer sensor can detect the magnitude of acceleration in each direction (generally, three axes), can detect the magnitude and direction of gravity when stationary, and can be used for applications of recognizing the gesture of the mobile phone (such as horizontal and vertical screen switching, related games, magnetometer gesture calibration), vibration recognition related functions (such as pedometer and tapping), and the like; as for other sensors such as a gyroscope, a barometer, a hygrometer, a thermometer, and an infrared sensor, which can be configured on the mobile phone 100, further description is omitted here.

A positioning device 108 for providing a geographic location for the handset 100. It is understood that the positioning device 108 may be a receiver of a Global Positioning System (GPS) or a positioning system such as the beidou satellite navigation system, russian GLONASS, etc. After receiving the geographical location transmitted by the positioning system, the positioning device 108 transmits the information to the processor 101 for processing or transmits the information to the memory 103 for storage. In still other embodiments, the positioning device 108 may also be a receiver of an Assisted Global Positioning System (AGPS) that assists the positioning device 108 in performing ranging and positioning services by acting as an assistance server, in which case the assistance positioning server provides positioning assistance by communicating with the positioning device 108 (i.e., GPS receiver) of an electronic device, such as the handset 100, over a wireless communication network. In other embodiments, the location device 108 may also be a Wi-Fi access point based location technology. Because each Wi-Fi access point has a globally unique MAC address, the electronic equipment can scan and collect broadcast signals of the surrounding Wi-Fi access points under the condition of starting Wi-Fi, and therefore the MAC addresses broadcasted by the Wi-Fi access points can be obtained; the electronic device sends the data (such as the MAC address) capable of identifying the Wi-Fi access points to the location server through the wireless communication network, and the location server retrieves the geographic location of each Wi-Fi access point, and calculates the geographic location of the electronic device according to the strength of the Wi-Fi broadcast signal, and sends the geographic location of the electronic device to the positioning device 108 of the electronic device.

The audio circuitry 109, speaker 113, microphone 114 can provide an audio interface between a user and the handset 100. The audio circuit 109 may transmit the electrical signal converted from the received audio data to the speaker 113, and convert the electrical signal into a sound signal by the speaker 113 for output; on the other hand, the microphone 114 converts the collected sound signal into an electrical signal, converts the electrical signal into audio data after being received by the audio circuit 109, and outputs the audio data to the RF circuit 102 to be transmitted to, for example, another cellular phone, or outputs the audio data to the memory 103 for further processing.

Peripheral interface 110, which is used to provide various interfaces for external input/output devices (e.g., keyboard, mouse, external display, external memory, SIM card, etc.). For example, a mouse via a Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface, and a subscriber identity module card (SIM) card provided by a telecommunications carrier via metal contacts on a SIM card slot. Peripheral interface 110 may be used to couple the aforementioned external input/output peripherals to processor 101 and memory 103.

The mobile phone 100 may further include a power supply device 111 (such as a battery and a power management chip) for supplying power to each component, and the battery may be logically connected to the processor 101 through the power management chip, so as to implement functions of managing charging, discharging, and power consumption through the power supply device 111.

Although not shown in fig. 2, the mobile phone 100 may further include a camera (front camera and/or rear camera), a flash, a micro-projector, a Near Field Communication (NFC) device, and the like, which are not described in detail herein.

An unlocking method provided by an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments, as shown in fig. 3, including:

301. the first electronic device establishes a connection with the second electronic device.

Specifically, the first electronic device may establish a communication connection with the second electronic device through any wireless communication manner, for example, the wireless communication manner may specifically be a bluetooth manner, an infrared manner, a Z-Wave manner, a ZigBee (ZigBee protocol), a Wi-Fi manner, or an NFC manner, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to this.

Taking bluetooth connection as an example, a main control device (i.e., a first electronic device) initiating connection may discover a peripheral bluetooth device (i.e., a second electronic device) through paging (page), and after the first electronic device discovers the second electronic device, a bluetooth physical Link (ACL) may be established through a pairing (pairing) process, thereby implementing communication connection between the first electronic device and the second electronic device.

Furthermore, the first electronic device may further add the second electronic device as a trusted device of the first electronic device in response to the operation of the user, so that the subsequent first electronic device may directly establish a bluetooth connection with the second electronic device when detecting the bluetooth signal of the second electronic device again.

302. The first electronic equipment acquires the target position of the first electronic equipment.

Optionally, the first electronic device may obtain the target position of the current first electronic device through any positioning device, for example, the positioning device may be a receiver of a positioning system such as a Global Positioning System (GPS) or a beidou satellite navigation system, russian GLONASS, or the like; alternatively, the positioning device may also be an Assisted Global Positioning System (AGPS) receiver; or, the positioning apparatus may also be a positioning technology based on a Wi-Fi access point, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present invention.

Or, the first electronic device may further determine a current target location of the first electronic device according to the currently connected Wi-Fi or IP address. For example, user a sets the name of Wi-Fi in the home to "abc", then when detecting that the first electronic device is connected to the wireless local area network with the name "abc", the first electronic device may determine that the target location where it is located is user a's home.

Or, the first electronic device may also intelligently learn the current target location of the first electronic device according to past use habits or work and rest habits of the user. For example, the user may be at home at about 8-10 pm, and if the current time is 8 pm and 30 pm, the first electronic device may determine that the target location is the home of the user; for another example, if the user goes out 8 am and arrives at the company for about 8 am 30 minutes, the first electronic device may determine that the target location is in a certain public place in the middle of work if the current time is 8 am and 10 minutes.

303. And the first electronic equipment determines the unlocking distance between the first electronic equipment and the second electronic equipment according to the target position.

Specifically, one or more preset areas may be preset in the first electronic device, and each preset area has a corresponding security level. For example, as shown in table 1, the user Tom of the first electronic device sets the home of Tom as a preset area with the highest security level, sets the home and company of the friend Amy as preset areas with a general security level, and sets public places such as fast food restaurants as preset areas with the lowest security level. Of course, the security level of each preset region may also be determined by the first electronic device after performing machine learning according to data such as usage habits of the user, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present invention.

TABLE 1

Predetermined area	Level of security
		Tom's family	Height of
Amy's Home, inc	In general
		* Fast food restaurant	Is low in

Then, in step 403, when the target location is located in a first preset area, for example, home of Tom, the first electronic device is relatively in a safe state because the security level corresponding to the target location is the highest level, that is, when the first electronic device is located in home of Tom. Therefore, as shown in fig. 4 (a), the first electronic device may use a first preset value with a larger value as an unlocking distance between the first electronic device and the second electronic device, where the first preset value is 10 meters, for example. That is, when the actual distance between the first electronic device and the second electronic device is less than 10 meters, the first electronic device may be triggered to unlock automatically.

Accordingly, when the target location is located in a second predetermined area, for example, fast food restaurant, the security level corresponding to the target location is the lowest level, that is, when the first electronic device is located in fast food restaurant, the security level of the first electronic device is lower than the security level at home of Tom, and the security risk of the first electronic device is greater. Therefore, as shown in (b) of fig. 4, the first electronic device may use a second preset value smaller than the first preset value as an unlocking distance between the first electronic device and the second electronic device, for example, the second preset value is 1 meter. That is, when the actual distance between the first electronic device and the second electronic device is less than 1 meter, the first electronic device may be triggered to unlock automatically.

In addition, if the target location obtained in step 303 does not belong to any of the preset areas, the unlocking distance between the first electronic device and the second electronic device may be set to the value of the unlocking distance when the security level is the lowest, so as to ensure the security of the electronic device.

Of course, the corresponding relationship between different preset areas and corresponding unlocking distances may also be directly set in the first electronic device, for example, when the first electronic device is located at home of Tom, the corresponding unlocking distance is 10 meters; when the first electronic device is located at Amy's home, its corresponding unlock distance is 5 meters. Therefore, after the target position is obtained, the first electronic device can directly judge the corresponding unlocking distance according to the corresponding relation.

It should be noted that the correspondence between the preset area and the security level and/or the correspondence between the unlocking distances of the preset area may be set in the first electronic device in a form of a table (for example, table 1), or may be set in the first electronic device in any other form, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present invention.

It can be seen that, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the first electronic device to be unlocked is in the area with the higher security level, the unlocking distance between the first electronic device and the second electronic device may be appropriately widened, and when the first electronic device to be unlocked is in the area with the lower security level, the unlocking distance between the first electronic device and the second electronic device may be appropriately shortened. That is to say, the unlocking distance between the first electronic device and the second electronic device can be adaptively adjusted according to the position of the first electronic device, so that the trouble that a user frequently and manually unlocks the electronic device in a place with a higher security level is avoided, and meanwhile, the risk of information leakage caused by automatic unlocking of the electronic device in a place with a lower security level is reduced.

304. And when the actual distance between the first electronic equipment and the second electronic equipment is smaller than the unlocking distance, the first electronic equipment is automatically unlocked.

For example, the first electronic device may determine a magnitude relationship between an actual distance between the first electronic device and the second electronic device and the unlocking distance according to a Signal Strength, e.g., RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indication), between the first electronic device and the second electronic device.

For example, the unlock distance is 5 meters, and when the distance between the first electronic device and the second electronic device is 5 meters, the signal strength between the first electronic device and the second electronic device is the target signal strength. Then, when the first electronic device and the second electronic device are in a connected state, if the first electronic device detects that the real-time signal intensity between the first electronic device and the second electronic device is greater than the target signal intensity, it indicates that the actual distance between the first electronic device and the second electronic device is less than 5 meters at the moment, and then the first electronic device is triggered to be automatically unlocked.

Of course, a corresponding distance sensor may also be provided on the first electronic device, and then, when the distance sensor detects that the actual distance between the first electronic device and the second electronic device is smaller than the unlocking distance, the first electronic device is triggered to be automatically unlocked.

Specifically, when the actual distance between the first electronic device and the second electronic device is smaller than the unlocking distance, the second electronic device may send authentication information to the first electronic device, where the authentication information may be information unique to each electronic device authenticated by the first electronic device and used for performing identity authentication, for example, a Media Access Control (MAC) address, a device identifier of each authenticated electronic device, or a preset and stored password, fingerprint, or the like.

Then, after receiving the authentication information, the first electronic device may compare the authentication information with one or more pieces of pre-stored authorization authentication information, and when it is determined that the authentication information is the pre-stored authorization authentication information, it indicates that the identity of the second electronic device is authenticated, and at this time, the first electronic device may reduce its local management authority, for example, unlock a screen of the first electronic device, unlock an operation authority of one or more applications in the first electronic device, and the like.

In one possible design, as shown in fig. 5 (a), after the first electronic device unlocks the screen, the user may be prompted by a prompt box that the screen is unlocked. Or, as shown in fig. 5 (b), after the first electronic device unlocks the screen, the user may directly enter the operation interface of the first electronic device, so that the user can perform corresponding operations on the first electronic device conveniently. Still alternatively, as shown in (c) of fig. 5, when the first electronic device may unlock the screen in the background, then the first electronic device may still be in the black screen state after the unlocking. At this time, the user may wake up the screen of the first electronic device through operations such as clicking or sliding, and then perform corresponding operations on the first electronic device.

Of course, a person skilled in the art may set other ways to reduce the local management authority of the first electronic device, and the embodiment of the present invention does not limit this. For example, when the actual distance between the first electronic device and the second electronic device is smaller than the unlocking distance, the fingerprint of the user may still be collected when the first electronic device is unlocked, but compared with a scenario when the actual distance between the first electronic device and the second electronic device is larger than the unlocking distance, the first electronic device may collect only a part of the fingerprint of the user and authenticate the identity of the user according to the collected part of the fingerprint, thereby increasing the speed of fingerprint unlocking.

In a possible design method, as shown in fig. 6, an unlocking method provided in an embodiment of the present invention includes:

401. the first electronic device establishes a connection with the second electronic device.

The specific manner of establishing the connection between the first electronic device and the second electronic device may refer to the related description in step 301, and thus is not described herein again.

402. The first electronic device obtains the device type of the second electronic device.

Taking bluetooth connection as an example, the bluetooth protocol is provided with identifiers of different device types. For example, the microphone is identified 1040, the camera is identified 1072, the wearable headset is identified 1028, and the blood pressure monitor is identified 230.

Then, after the first electronic device and the second electronic device establish a connection through the bluetooth protocol, the first electronic device may call a related function to obtain the device type of the second electronic device, for example, send a request for obtaining the device type to the second electronic device through a getDeviceClass () function, and then the second electronic device returns the identifier of the device type to the first electronic device. Therefore, the first electronic device can determine the device type of the second electronic device according to the identifier returned by the second electronic device.

403. The first electronic device determines an unlocking distance between the first electronic device and the second electronic device according to the device type of the second electronic device.

For example, the unlocking distance between the first electronic device and the second electronic device may be set according to the strength of the mobility of the second electronic device. The electronic device with high mobility refers to a device which can be carried by a user or worn on the body of the user, such as a wearable watch, wearable glasses, a wearable bracelet and the like; accordingly, the electronic device with weak mobility refers to a device, such as a bluetooth speaker, a bluetooth printer, and the like, which is located at a relatively fixed position and generally cannot move along with the movement of the user, and the embodiment of the present invention does not limit this.

For a mobile electronic device, since the mobile electronic device generally moves along with the movement of the user, the location of the mobile electronic device can be generally regarded as the location of the user. Therefore, when the device type of the second electronic device is such a type of electronic device with strong mobility, as shown in (a) in fig. 7, the first threshold with a smaller value may be used as the unlocking distance, for example, the unlocking distance is set to 1 meter, so that it can be ensured that the first electronic device is within the operable range of the user, and the automatic unlocking of the first electronic device is triggered, thereby improving the safety of the first electronic device when the first electronic device is automatically unlocked.

Accordingly, for a mobile electronic device, the mobile electronic device is usually not able to move with the movement of the user because the location of the mobile electronic device is relatively fixed. Therefore, when the device type of the second electronic device is such a weak-mobility electronic device, as shown in fig. 7 (b), the second threshold with a larger value may be used as the unlocking distance, for example, the unlocking distance is set to 15 meters, so that when the user carries the first electronic device to move near the second electronic device after the first electronic device and the second electronic device are connected, as long as the real-time distance between the first electronic device and the second electronic device does not exceed 15 meters, the first electronic device can be automatically unlocked and is in an unlocked state, and then the user can avoid the trouble of frequent unlocking when using the first electronic device, and user experience is improved.

It can be seen that, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the first electronic device to be unlocked is an electronic device with relatively weak mobility, the unlocking distance between the first electronic device and the second electronic device may be appropriately widened, and when the first electronic device to be unlocked is an electronic device with relatively strong mobility, the unlocking distance between the first electronic device and the second electronic device may be appropriately shortened. That is to say, the unlocking distance between the first electronic device and the second electronic device can be adaptively adjusted according to the device type of the first electronic device, so that the trouble that a user carries the first electronic device to frequently unlock the first electronic device by hand when moving near the second electronic device with weak mobility is avoided, and meanwhile, the risk of information leakage caused by the overlarge unlocking distance when the first electronic device is connected with the second electronic device with strong mobility is reduced.

404. And when the actual distance between the first electronic equipment and the second electronic equipment is smaller than the unlocking distance, the first electronic equipment is automatically unlocked.

The specific method for automatically unlocking the first electronic device may refer to the related description of step 304, and therefore, the detailed description is omitted here.

In addition, the first electronic device may further determine the unlocking distance by combining the device type of the second electronic device and the target location where the first electronic device is located, for example, as shown in fig. 8, the unlocking method provided in the embodiment of the present invention includes:

501. the first electronic device establishes a connection with the second electronic device.

502. The first electronic device obtains the device type of the second electronic device.

The specific method for establishing the connection between the first electronic device and the second electronic device may refer to the relevant description in step 301, and the specific method for acquiring the device type of the second electronic device by the first electronic device may refer to the relevant description in step 402, so that details are not repeated herein.

503. The first electronic device determines whether the device type of the second electronic device is the device type with stronger mobility.

For example, when the second electronic device is a wearable device such as a smart watch, smart glasses, a smart band, or a bluetooth headset, it may be determined that the second electronic device is a device type with stronger mobility.

Accordingly, when the second electronic device is additionally provided with a bluetooth sound, an in-vehicle device or a desktop computer, the type of the device is not mobile, that is, the type of the device is weak in mobility.

When the second electronic device is determined to be the device type with stronger mobility, the first electronic device may continue to perform the following steps 504-506; when it is determined that the second electronic device is of the less mobile device type, the first electronic device may continue to perform steps 507-509, described below.

504. When the second electronic device is of a device type with strong mobility, the first electronic device sets an unlocking distance between the first electronic device and the second electronic device to be a first threshold value.

In step 504, when the second electronic device is a device type with strong mobility, the first electronic device may use a preset unlocking distance with a minimum value as the first threshold. For example, the first electronic device has preset 3 unlocking distances, namely: 1 meter, 5 meters and 10 meters, then, when the unlocking distance is the type of the device with stronger mobility from the second electronic device, the first electronic device may: 1 meter is set as the first threshold.

Therefore, when the user A carries the second electronic device to move near the first electronic device, if the real-time distance between the first electronic device and the second electronic device is smaller than 1 meter, at the moment, the first electronic device is still in the operable range of the user A, so that the first electronic device can be triggered to be automatically unlocked, and the user A can operate the first electronic device conveniently. Once the real-time distance between the first electronic device and the second electronic device is detected to be greater than or equal to 1 meter, the first electronic device is not triggered to be automatically unlocked, at this time, the first electronic device is not in the operable range of the user A, but because the first electronic device is in the locked state, the user without the operation authority of the first electronic device cannot operate the first electronic device, and therefore information security in the first electronic device is improved.

505. The first electronic equipment acquires the current target position of the first electronic equipment.

506. And the first electronic equipment adjusts the first threshold value according to the target position.

In steps 505-506, the first electronic device may further obtain a current target location of the first electronic device, and adjust the first threshold according to a security level of the first electronic device at the target location. For the method for the first electronic device to obtain the current target position, reference may be made to the related description of step 302, and therefore, details are not repeated here.

Illustratively, the first electronic device acquires a first preset area with the highest security level at the current target position, for example, the home of the user a. Then, the first electronic device may increase the value of the first threshold by a little, for example, adjust the current unlocking distance of 1 meter to the unlocking distance of 10 meters. Therefore, when the user A connects the first electronic device and the second electronic device at home, and the real-time distance between the first electronic device and the second electronic device is less than 10 meters, the first electronic device can be automatically unlocked, so that the first electronic device can avoid the trouble that the user frequently executes unlocking operation while ensuring the information safety of the first electronic device.

For another example, the first electronic device acquires a second preset area with a current target position having a common security level, for example, a company of the user a. Then, since the security level of the target location is between the highest level and the lowest level, the first electronic device may increase the value of the first threshold by a small amount, but the magnitude of the increase of the first threshold should be smaller than that of the increase of the first electronic device when the first electronic device is located in the home of the user a. For example, the first electronic device may adjust the current unlocking distance of 1 meter to an unlocking distance of 5 meters. Therefore, when the company connects the first electronic device and the second electronic device, and the real-time distance between the first electronic device and the second electronic device is less than 5 meters, the first electronic device is in a relatively safe environment, so that the first electronic device can be triggered to be automatically unlocked, and the trouble that the user frequently executes unlocking operation is avoided; when the real-time distance between the first electronic device and the second electronic device is larger than or equal to 5 meters, the safety risk of the environment where the first electronic device is located is increased, at the moment, the first electronic device cannot be triggered to be unlocked automatically, a user without the operation authority of the first electronic device is prevented from using the first electronic device, and therefore information safety in the first electronic device is improved.

For another example, the first electronic device acquires a third preset area with the current target location being the lowest security level, for example, a fast food restaurant, that is, the security risk of the environment where the first electronic device is currently located is higher. Then, since the first threshold value has been set to take the minimum unlocking distance in step 504, the first electronic device may still maintain the first threshold value at this time. That is to say, when the real-time distance between the first electronic device and the second electronic device is less than 1 meter, the first electronic device can be triggered to unlock automatically, so that the user a can operate the first electronic device conveniently. Once the real-time distance between the first electronic device and the second electronic device is detected to be greater than or equal to 1 m, the first electronic device is not triggered to be automatically unlocked, and a user without the operation authority of the first electronic device is prevented from operating the first electronic device, so that the information security in the first electronic device is improved.

507. When the second electronic device is of a device type with weak mobility, the first electronic device sets an unlocking distance between the first electronic device and the second electronic device to be a second threshold, and the second threshold is larger than the first threshold.

In step 507, when the second electronic device is of a device type with a weak mobility, the first electronic device may use a preset unlocking distance with a maximum value as the second threshold. For example, the first electronic device may unlock a distance: 10 meters is set as the second threshold. Or, it may also be set that when the first electronic device and the second electronic device are in a connected state, the first electronic device may be triggered to be automatically unlocked, that is, the second threshold is the maximum connection distance when the first electronic device and the second electronic device are in the connected state.

Therefore, when the user A carries the first electronic device to move near the second electronic device, the first electronic device can be automatically unlocked within 10 meters of the second electronic device, and the trouble that the user needs to frequently unlock the first electronic device due to the fact that the second electronic device cannot move is reduced. When the first electronic device is 10 meters away from the second electronic device, the security risk of the environment where the first electronic device is located is considered to be high, and therefore the first electronic device cannot be triggered to be automatically unlocked, so that the information security of the first electronic device is guaranteed.

508. The first electronic equipment acquires the current target position of the first electronic equipment.

509. And the first electronic equipment adjusts the second threshold value according to the target position.

In steps 508-509, the first electronic device may further obtain a current target location of the first electronic device, and adjust the second threshold according to a security level of the first electronic device at the target location.

Illustratively, if the first electronic device acquires that the current target position is a first preset area with the highest security level, for example, the home of the user a. Then, since the second threshold has been set to the maximum unlocking distance in step 507, the first electronic device may still maintain the second threshold at this time. That is to say, when the real-time distance between the first electronic device and the second electronic device is less than 10 meters, the first electronic device can be triggered to be automatically unlocked, so that the user a can operate the first electronic device conveniently. Once the real-time distance between the first electronic device and the second electronic device is detected to be greater than or equal to 10 meters, the first electronic device cannot be triggered to be automatically unlocked, and a user without the operation authority of the first electronic device is prevented from operating the first electronic device, so that the information security in the first electronic device is improved.

For another example, if the first electronic device obtains that the current target location is a second preset area with a common security level, for example, a company of the user a. Then, the first electronic device may decrease the value of the second threshold to any value between the first threshold and the second threshold. For example, the current unlocking distance of 10 meters is adjusted to an unlocking distance of 5 meters. Thus, when the company connects the first electronic device and the second electronic device, and the real-time distance between the first electronic device and the second electronic device is less than 5 meters, the first electronic device is in a relatively safe environment, so that the first electronic device can be triggered to be automatically unlocked, and the trouble that the user frequently executes unlocking operation is avoided; when the real-time distance between the first electronic device and the second electronic device is larger than or equal to 5 m, the safety risk of the first electronic device in a company is increased, at the moment, the first electronic device cannot be triggered to be unlocked automatically, a user without the operation authority of the first electronic device is prevented from using the first electronic device, and therefore information safety in the first electronic device is improved.

For another example, if the first electronic device acquires the third preset area with the current target location having the lowest security level, for example, the security risk in a fast food restaurant, that is, the environment where the first electronic device is currently located, is higher. Then, the first electronic device may adjust the value of the second threshold to the minimum unlocking distance, for example, adjust the current unlocking distance of 10 meters to the unlocking distance of 1 meter. Therefore, when the user A connects the first electronic equipment and the second electronic equipment in the fast food restaurant, the first electronic equipment is triggered to be automatically unlocked only when the real-time distance between the first electronic equipment and the second electronic equipment is smaller than 1 meter; otherwise, in order to avoid that a user without the operation authority of the first electronic device uses the first electronic device, the automatic unlocking of the first electronic device is not triggered.

It can be seen that the unlocking method provided in the embodiment of the present invention can set different unlocking distances for the first electronic device in different application scenarios according to the target location where the master control device (i.e., the first electronic device) is located and the device type of the slave device (i.e., the second electronic device), so that the first electronic device can be automatically unlocked in a relatively safe environment, and the trouble of frequently executing an unlocking operation by a user is avoided; and the locking state is kept in the environment with higher security risk, so that the first electronic equipment is prevented from being used by a user without the operation authority of the first electronic equipment, and the information security in the first electronic equipment is improved.

In addition, the first electronic device also provides a setting interface of the automatic unlocking function for the user. As shown in fig. 9, the user may manually open the function of unlocking the first electronic device through the second electronic device; for another example, the user may add one or more electronic devices for unlocking the first electronic device; for another example, for different electronic devices added by the user, the user may manually set the unlocking distance, and for different application scenarios, the user may also set the unlocking distance in each application scenario, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present invention.
