Unnecessary power consumption.

Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to FIG. 1, in the embodiment of the present invention, an electronic product includes a detecting unit 10, an obtaining unit 11, and a processing unit 12, wherein

The detecting unit 10 is configured to detect that the user clicks an application icon in the screen when the device is in the lock screen state, and drags the application icon to the first designated coordinate area;

The obtaining unit 11 is configured to determine an application function corresponding to the application coordinate point setting, and obtain an operation interface corresponding to the application function;

The processing unit 12 is configured to unlock the screen of the device, and present an operation interface corresponding to the application function to the user.

In practice, there are many types of electronic products, such as mobile phones, tablets, PDAs (personal handheld computers), and e-books.

Based on the above technical solution, referring to FIG. 2, in the embodiment of the present invention, the detailed process of unlocking the screen by the electronic product is as follows:

Step 200: In the lock screen state, the electronic product detects that the user clicks on an application icon in the screen, and drags the application icon to the first designated coordinate area.

In the embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of application icons are set in the lock screen interface, and each application icon corresponds to at least one application function. For example, the set application icons represent application functions: unlocking, mute, dialing, information, Calendar, browser, gallery, music, video, photography, and more.

Each application icon may be set as a nine-square grid pattern or as a carousel pattern. In this embodiment, a carousel pattern is taken as an example for description.

For example, referring to FIG. 3, in the lock screen interface, 10 unlocking holes (ie, 10 application icons) are set in the carousel pattern, and each application icon corresponds to at least one application function, and the occlusion pattern in the carousel indicates This is the first specified coordinate area. After clicking on any of the app icons, the user can drag them to the occlusion pattern to unlock the corresponding app function. Therefore, when the step 200 is performed, the click behavior of the user detected by the electronic product may be: after the user clicks on an application icon, drag the application icon along an arbitrary coordinate track to the occlusion pattern, as shown in FIG. 4; The click behavior of the user detected by the electronic product may also be: After the user clicks on an application icon, the application icon is dragged along the preset coordinate track by the occlusion pattern, as shown in FIG. 5 .

Step 210: The electronic product determines an application function corresponding to the application coordinate point set by the user, and obtains the application function. Use the operation interface corresponding to the function.

Specifically, after the electronic product determines the application function corresponding to the application coordinate point set by the user, it is determined whether the application function currently has pending data, and if so, the operation interface corresponding to the to-be-processed data is acquired; otherwise, the application function is acquired. The main operation interface.

For example, when it is detected that the application icon that the user clicks and drags to the occlusion pattern is "information", the electronic product determines whether there is currently received new information (ie, pending data), and if so, directly obtains browsing and replying of the new information. The interface is as shown in FIG. 6A; otherwise, it enters the information list interface, as shown in FIG. 6B.

For another example, when it is detected that the application icon clicked and dragged to the occlusion pattern is "unlocked", the electronic product determines whether there is an expired reminder event (eg, a memo event reminder of the calendar, a timed event reminder of the alarm, etc.) Etc.), if yes, obtain an operation interface corresponding to the reminder event, for example, a calendar list interface (as shown in FIG. 7A), an alarm clock display frame interface (as shown in FIG. 7B); otherwise, obtain a main operation interface of the system, That is, the standby interface, as shown in Figure 7C.

Of course, in the case shown in FIG. 7A, when the electronic product detects that the application icon that the user clicks and drags to the occlusion pattern is "calendar," the calendar list interface is also acquired, as shown in FIG. 7B. In this case, when the electronic product detects that the application icon clicked and dragged to the occlusion pattern is "alarm", the alarm display frame interface is also obtained.

Further, in order to facilitate the use of the user, and in order to shorten the processing time of the electronic product, an application icon (eg, unlocking, mute, etc.) may be set to correspond to different application functions in different application scenarios, such that the electronic product detection When the user clicks and drags an application icon to the occlusion pattern, the current application scenario needs to be confirmed, and then the application function corresponding to the application icon setting in the application scenario is determined.

For example, as shown in FIG. 7D, when there is an alarm alarm event, if the electronic product detects that the user clicks and drags the application icon to the occlusion pattern to “mute,” the alarm will stop and the lock screen will be restored.

For example, when an incoming call is received, if the electronic product detects that the application icon clicked and dragged to the occlusion pattern is "unlocked", the incoming call is turned on, and if the user clicks and drags the application icon to the occlusion pattern, "Mute" rejects the call, and the electronic product will resume the lock screen after the user ends the call or rejects the call.

In the actual application, the specific application function of each application icon may be preset by the software personnel, or may be customized by the user, and details are not described herein again.

Step 220: The electronic product unlocks the screen, and presents an operation interface corresponding to the application function to the user. In step 220, after the electronic product unlocks the screen, the obtained operation interface is presented to the user, wherein the obtained application interface may be a standby interface, or may be an operation interface corresponding to other application functions, such as steps. 210 is not repeated here.

Based on the above embodiment, in an actual application, in order to further shorten the processing time of the electronic product, a second designated area may be set in the lock screen interface for handling an emergency event. For example, referring to FIG. 8, in the lock screen interface, the center area of the carousel pattern in which 10 application icons are set is set as an emergency call area, when the user clicks on the center area. In the domain, the electronic product converts the 10 application icons in the lock screen to a dialing keyboard, allowing the user to quickly make an emergency call.

On the other hand, in order to provide more optimized operation management, preferably, after the electronic product unlocks the screen, in the process of using the application function, if the user detects that the user has not exited the application function, the instruction is performed. After the lock screen is enabled, the electronic product unlocks the third designated coordinate area in the lock screen interface (ie, realizes partial interface unlocking), and presents the above-mentioned non-exit application in the third designated coordinate area. Function The current operating interface.

For example, referring to FIG. 9, when the electronic product detects that the user is instructing to perform a lock screen during the process of using "music,", after the lock screen interface is enabled, the center area of the dial pattern is unlocked, and at the center. The area presents the operation interface of the last played song of the user under the application function of "music"; when the electronic product detects that the user is instructing to perform the lock screen during the process of using the "calendar," the dial can be turned on after the lock screen is enabled. The central area of the pattern is unlocked, and the operation interface last used by the user under the application function of "calendar" is presented in the central area; when the electronic product detects that the user is instructing to perform the lock screen during the process of using the "gallery", After the lock screen interface is enabled, the center area of the carousel pattern is unlocked, and the operation interface of the last picture of the user under the application function of "Gallery" is presented in the center area; when the electronic product detects that the user is using "video, During the process of indicating the lock screen, the central area of the carousel pattern can be activated after the lock screen interface is enabled. To unlock, and present the operation interface of the video screen that the user last viewed under the application function of "Video" in the center area, etc., the four cases shown in FIG. 9 are only examples, other application functions It can also be implemented in this way, and will not be described here.

Of course, as shown in FIG. 9, in the embodiment of the present invention, the second designated coordinate area and the third designated coordinate area are both set as the central area of the turntable pattern, and in actual applications, the two areas may also be set to be different respectively. The coordinate area is only an example of an embodiment in this embodiment, and details are not described herein again.

On the other hand, in the case shown in FIG. 9, if the user clicks "unlock," the application icon and drags it to the occlusion pattern, the electronic product will directly present to the user that the user has not exited after unlocking the screen. The application function of the current user interface, to "calendar," for example, is shown in Figure 10.

In summary, in the embodiment of the present invention, in the lock screen interface of the electronic product, a plurality of application icons are set, and each application icon corresponds to at least one application function, when the user clicks on an application icon and drags to the specified Coordinate area

(ie, unlocking the area), the electronic product unlocks the screen, and presents the operation interface of the application function corresponding to the application icon clicked by the user to the user, so that the application function that the user wants to use needs to pass multiple levels in the standby interface. When the menu is searched, the number of operations of the user is greatly reduced, thereby shortening the processing time of the electronic product, effectively avoiding unnecessary power consumption due to user operation, and improving the standby time of the electronic product.
