  • Electronic device and launcher screen position identifying method
    Patent number: 9870140
    Abstract: A launcher screen position identifying method obtains a set of coordinates of a reference point of each launcher screen and a set of coordinates of a reference point of a touch screen. The method calculates a distance difference between each launcher screen and the touch screen according to the set of coordinates of the reference point of each launcher screen and the set of coordinates of the reference point of the touch screen, and the method converts the distance difference between each launcher screen and the touch screen to a scalar value of the corresponding launcher screen. The scalar value is between negative one and positive one. The method further identifies a position relationship between each launcher screen and the touch screen according to the scalar value of the corresponding launcher screen. A related electronic device and a related non-transitory storage medium are provided.

  • DEVICE AND METHOD FOR UNLOCKING ELECTRONIC DEVICE
    Publication number: 20150261406
    Abstract: A method for unlocking an electronic device is disclosed. The method includes: configuring, at the electronic device, a gesture password; storing, at the electronic device, the gesture password; detecting, at the electronic device, gestures on a touch screen of the electronic device when the electronic device is in a locked state; determining, at the electronic device, whether the detected gestures are consistent with the gesture password stored in the electronic device; and unlocking the electronic device if the detected gestures are consistent with the gesture password stored in the electronic device.
