LIMITED-ACCESS FUNCTIONALITY ACCESSIBLE AT LOGIN SCREEN

摘要

Techniques and technologies for providing limited-access functionality accessible at a “login screen” (or “lock screen”) of a device are described. In at least some embodiments, a system includes a user interface operatively coupled to a processing component; and one or more instructions stored on a memory that, when executed by the processing component, are configured to: (a) generate a login portion displayed on the user interface, the login portion configured to receive at least one user access credential to determine whether to provide access to one or more authorized-access functionalities; and (b) generate a limited-access functionality access portion displayed on the user interface concurrently with the login portion, the limited-access functionality access portion configured to provide access to at least one limited-access functionality without requiring receipt of the at least one user access credential.

主权项

1. A system having a limited-access functionality accessible at a login screen, comprising:
a processing component operatively coupled to a memory; a user interface operatively coupled to the processing component; and one or more instructions stored on the memory that, when executed by the processing component, are configured to cause one or more operations including:
generate a login portion displayed on the user interface, the login portion configured to receive at least one user access credential to determine whether to provide access to one or more authorized-access functionalities; andgenerate a limited-access portion displayed on the user interface concurrently with the login portion, the limited-access portion configured to provide access to at least one limited-access functionality without requiring receipt of the at least one user access credential, the at least one limited-access functionality being at least one of (i) a subset of the one or more authorized-access functionalities, or (ii) having access to less data stored in the memory than the one or more authorized-access functionalities.
