The storage unit 302 is further configured to pre-define and store a correspondence between an operation feature of the user and an application or a file. For example, please refer to Table 2 again, the user can pre-define that the operation feature 1 corresponds to the first application, the operation feature 2 corresponds to the first file, the operation feature 3 corresponds to the second application, and the operation feature 4 corresponds to the third application, and the operation feature 4 corresponds to the third application. Feature 5 corresponds to the second file, and operation feature 6 corresponds to the third file.

In other embodiments, the operational features stored by the storage unit 302 are not limited to Table 2, but may be a combination of other fingers and other pressing forces. The correspondence stored in the storage unit 302 is also not Limited to Table 2, each operational feature can correspond to a different application or file.

The comparison unit 303 is configured to compare the operation features input by the user touched by the touch sensor 20 with the operation features pre-stored in the storage unit 302, and determine whether the storage unit 302 stores the storage unit 302. An operational feature that matches the operational characteristics of the user input communicated by the touch sensor 20. In the process of comparison, when the operating feature input by the user includes a plurality of fingers, a plurality of fingers of the operating features must simultaneously press the touch screen 10. For example, when the user inputs the operation feature 4, the right index finger and the left index finger of the user must simultaneously press the touch screen 10. For another example, when the user inputs the operating feature 6, the user's left index finger, left middle finger, right middle finger, and right middle finger must simultaneously press the touch screen 10.

The comparison unit 303 can compare the operation features input by the user touched by the touch sensor 20 with the operation features pre-stored in the storage unit 302. In the process of comparing the operating characteristic input by the user with the operating feature pre-stored in the storage unit 302, the matching unit 303 not only ensures that the fingerprint feature of the finger pressed by the user and the fingerprint feature of the operating feature are The matching is also required to ensure that the pressing force of the finger pressed by the user is the same as the pressing force in the operating feature, and it can be determined that the operating characteristic input by the user matches the operating feature pre-stored in the storage unit 302. For example, when the comparing unit 303 compares the operating characteristics of the user input transmitted by the touch sensor 20 with the operating features pre-stored in the storage unit 302, only when the user uses four fingers simultaneously The touch screen 10 is pressed, and the four fingers are respectively a left index finger, a left middle finger, a right index finger, and a right middle finger, and the pressing force of the four fingers is respectively the first strength, the second strength, and the second force. When the third strength and the fourth strength are used, the comparison unit 303 can determine that the operation feature input by the user matches the operation feature 6 stored in the storage unit 302. If the finger pressed by the user touches the touch screen 10 is different from one of the operating features pre-stored in the storage unit 302, or the pressing force of any finger of the user and the pressing force of the same finger in the operating feature Different, then the comparison Unit 303 will determine that the operational feature entered by the user does not match the operational feature pre-stored in the storage unit 302. If the operation feature input by the user does not match any of the operation features pre-stored in the storage unit 302, the comparison unit 303 determines that the operation feature of the user input is not stored in the storage unit 302. Matching operational characteristics.

It can be understood that when the comparison unit 303 compares the operation characteristic input by the user with one of the operation features pre-stored in the storage unit 302, the same pressing force of the item means that the pressing force output by the user is equal to the storage. The operating feature pre-stored in the unit 302 includes a preset pressing force, or a difference between the pressing force output by the user and the pressing force of the preset is less than a preset value. For example, when the pressing force output by the user is equal to the preset first strength or the difference between the two is less than the preset value, the pressing force of the user output may be considered to be the same as the preset first strength.

It can be understood that when the comparison unit 303 determines that the storage unit 302 prestores an operation feature that matches the operation feature input by the touch sensor 20, the control unit 301 controls the control unit 301. The touch screen 10 is switched from the lock screen state to the screen unlock state, and controls the bottom layer operation unit 304 to start an application or file corresponding to the operation feature. For example, please refer to Table 1 and Table 2 above. When the touch screen 10 is in the lock screen state, the user presses the right index finger on the touch screen 10 with a first force. At this time, the fingerprint detecting unit 201 and the motion detecting unit 202 respectively detect the fingerprint feature and the pressing force of the finger, that is, the operating features input by the user, and transmit the detected operating features input by the user. To the comparison unit 303. The comparison unit 303 compares the detected operational characteristics of the user input, that is, the combination of the fingerprint feature of the right index finger and the pressing force of the right index finger with the pre-stored operation feature to determine the storage unit 302. Whether it is stored in an operational characteristic that matches the operational characteristics entered by the user. When the comparison unit 303 determines that the storage unit 302 stores an operation feature matching the detected operation input of the user, for example, the right input by the user The fingerprint feature of the index finger is consistent with the right index finger fingerprint feature of the preset operational feature 1, and the first strength of the user output is equal to the preset first velocity or the difference between the two is less than a preset value, the control The unit 301 controls the touch screen 10 to enter a screen-opening state, and controls the bottom layer operating unit 304 to start an application or file corresponding to the operating feature 1, such as a first application.

Of course, it can be understood that when the comparing unit 303 determines that the operating feature in the storage unit 302 does not store the operating feature input by the detected user, the control unit 301 will control the The touch screen 10 continues to be in a lock screen state. For example, when the user presses the touch screen 10 with only the right index finger, and the difference between the pressing force output by the user and the preset first strength is greater than the preset value, because the storage unit 302 does not store the phase. The matching control feature 301 will control the touch screen 10 to remain in the lock screen state.

Step S71: Pre-set and store the operating characteristics of the user and their correspondence with the application or file, such as the operating features and correspondences in Table 2.

Step S72: When the touch screen 10 is in the lock screen state, the touch sensor 20 detects an operation feature input by the user, and transmits the detected operation characteristic input by the user to the ratio. For unit 303.

Specifically, in the embodiment, the fingerprint detecting unit 201 detects the fingerprint feature of the user on the touch screen 10, for example, the user presses one finger or multiple fingers on the touch screen 10 respectively. The fingerprint feature is transmitted, and the detected fingerprint feature is transmitted to the comparison unit 303. The force detecting unit 202 is configured to detect the pressing force of each finger of the user when one or more fingers of the user press the touch screen 10, and press the detected The velocity is transmitted to the comparison unit 303.

Step S73: The comparison unit 303 determines whether the storage unit 302 stores Operating features that match the operational characteristics of the user input communicated by the touch sensor 20 are stored. If yes, step S74 is performed. If not, step S75 is performed.

Step S74: When the storage unit 302 prestores an operation feature that matches the operation characteristic input by the user input from the touch sensor 20, the control unit 301 controls the touch screen 10 from the lock. The screen state is switched to the unwinding state, and the underlying operating unit 304 is controlled to launch an application or file corresponding to the operational feature that matches the item.

Step S75: When the comparing unit 303 determines that the operating feature of the user input from the touch sensor 20 is not stored in the storage unit 302, the control unit 301 The touch screen 10 is controlled to continue to be in a lock screen state.
