Abstract: Disclosed are an electronic device and a method for unlocking screen. The electronic device includes a touch screen, a storage and a processor. The touch screen displays unlocking blocks and non-unlocking blocks in the screen-locking mode of the electronic device. A plurality of files are stored in the storage. In the screen-locking mode, the processor detects a motion track generated when an object is touching the touch screen. If the object has touched the unlocking blocks and the motion track is satisfied with a first unlocking sequence, the processor makes the screen-locking mode released and loads all files. If the object has touched the unlocking blocks and the motion track is satisfied with a second unlocking sequence, the processor makes the screen-locking mode released and loads some of the files. Thus, according to different motion tracks, the electronic device determines to load all or some of the files.
