Publication number: 20130212533Abstract: An electronic device and a method for unlocking touch screens randomly generates an unlocking sequence that includes one or more data combinations. Each of the data combinations includes one or more sets of coordinates on the touch screen. The nth data combination is selected from the unlocking sequence, and an unlocking icon is displayed on a particular location of the touch screen according to the selected data combination. After there is a touch on the unlocking icon during a predetermined time period, a next data combination in the unlocking sequence is selected to display the unlocking icon on another location of the touch screen, until all the data combinations have been selected. The touch screen is unlocked until the unlocking icon can be touched every time when displayed on different locations of the touch screen.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 27, 2012Publication date: August 15, 2013Applicant: FIH (HONG KONG) LIMITEDInventor: HSING-CHUN HSIEH
