Description

Electronic device and method for unlocking electronic device

The present invention relates to an electronic device, and more particularly to an electronic device that uses a touch screen to release a user interface in a locked state. When a user interface of the electronic device is in a locked state, the first region is After the triggering, the electronic device randomly generates the second region in the touch region, and if the second region is triggered, the locked state is released.

The conventional touch-type electronic device releases the user interface locking state by continuous sliding, but may be unlocked due to hand sliding, thereby releasing the user interface locking state. Therefore, the present invention provides an electronic device and method that effectively solve the above problems.

The present invention provides an electronic device including a touch display unit having a touch area having a first area and a second area, a control unit coupled to the touch display unit, and a Detector The detecting unit is coupled to the control unit, and the detecting unit is configured to detect a position where the touch display unit is touched; wherein, when the electronic device is in a locked state, the detecting unit detects the first After the area is triggered, the control unit randomly generates the second area in the touch area. If the detecting unit detects that the second area is triggered, the control unit releases the locked state; if the detecting unit The second area is not detected to be triggered, and the control unit maintains the locked state.

The present invention further provides a method for controlling an electronic device to release a locked state, wherein the electronic device has a touch area having a first area and a second area, wherein the method comprises: (a) When the electronic device is in the locked state, detecting whether the first region is triggered, and if not, maintaining the locked state; if yes, performing step (b); (b) randomly touching the touch region The second area is generated in the control area; and (c) detecting whether the second area is triggered, and if not, maintaining the locked state; if so, releasing the locked state.

The main purpose of the present invention is to provide an electronic device that uses a touch screen to release the user interface in a locked state. When the user interface of the electronic device is in the locked state, the electronic device makes the touch after the first region is triggered. The second area is randomly generated in the area, and if the second area is triggered, the locked state is released. The various embodiments are described in detail below, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

1 is a schematic structural view of a preferred embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the electronic device 100 of the present invention includes a touch display unit 120, a control unit 140, and a detecting unit 160. The electronic device 100 can be an electronic device with a touch function interface, such as a smart phone, a satellite navigation device or a lithographic computer. The touch function can be resistive or capacitive, but is not intended to limit the present invention. The touch display unit 120 has a display 122 and a touch panel 124. The detecting unit 160 is coupled to the control unit 140 and the touch panel 124. The display 122 and the touch panel 124 are respectively coupled to the control unit 140 for detecting the user. The position of the touch area (the dotted line in Figure 1) is triggered by the electronic The device performs a corresponding function corresponding to the triggered position.

The working principle of the present invention will be described in detail below, as shown in Figures 2A-2B. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2A, when the user of the electronic device interfaces to the locked state (standby), at this time, if the user wants to release the locked state, the user only needs to press the button 180, and the button 180 is triggered. The control unit 140 generates the first area 210 in the touch area, wherein the first area 210 is fixed or random. The detecting unit 160 detects that the first area 210 is triggered, and the control unit 140 is in the touch area. The second area 220 is randomly generated at any position. If the detecting unit 160 detects that the second area 220 is triggered, the control unit 140 releases the locked state. If the detecting unit 160 does not detect that the second area 220 is triggered, the control unit 140 remains locked.

In addition, after the button 180 is triggered, the control unit 140 generates the first area 210 in the touch area. If the detecting unit 160 detects that the first area 210 is triggered within a predetermined time, the control unit 140 subsequently generates the second area. The area 220; if the detecting unit 160 detects that the first area 210 is not triggered for a predetermined time, the control unit 140 maintains the locked state. Similarly, if the detecting unit 160 detects that the second area 220 is triggered within a predetermined time, the control unit 140 releases the locked state; if the detecting unit 160 detects that the second area 220 is not triggered for a predetermined time, Control unit 140 maintains a locked state. In addition, the button 180 is also a power-on key, but the non-limiting condition is to generate a signal to wake up the electronic device to enter the unlock state interface.

In addition, please refer to FIG. 2A-2B. After the button 180 is triggered, the control unit 140 generates the first area 210 in the touch area. At this time, the control unit 140 simultaneously controls the display 122 to generate the image 212 corresponding to the first area 210. Used to prompt the user to trigger the position of the first area 210; likewise, the control unit 140 can also control the display The generated image 222 corresponds to the second area 220 for prompting the user to trigger the position of the second area 220. It should be noted that the images 212, 222 may be the same or different and are not intended to limit the invention.

FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of a method according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention; as shown in FIG. 3:

S31: The electronic device 100 is in the standby lock state.

S32: Whether the electronic device 100 receives an unlock signal, if received, proceeds to S33, and if not, returns to the locked state S31, wherein the unlocking signal can be released by pressing the button 180, and the button 180 is triggered to generate the unlocking signal.

S33, S34: The control unit 140 generates the first area 210 in the touch area, the detecting unit 160 detects whether the first area 210 is triggered, and if so, proceeds to S35, and if not, returns to the locked state S31, where the first area The 210 position can be fixed or random.

S35, S36: The control unit 140 randomly generates the second area 220 at any position in the touch area, and the detecting unit 160 detects whether the second area 220 is triggered. If yes, the process proceeds to S37, and if not, returns to the locked state S31.

S37: Release the user interface to the locked state.

The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and all changes and modifications made to the scope of the present invention should be within the scope of the present invention.
