Combining wake-up and unlock into a single gesture

摘要

A computer-implemented method, a system and a computer-readable medium provide for receiving a first pattern of sensor inputs that are associated with a user of a mobile device. Subsequently, this pattern can be replicated, and based on the input, used to perform one or more of tasks such as identifying the user, unlocking the device, turning the device on, and authenticating the user.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
receiving, by a processor of a computing device and while the computing device is in an inactive state, a plurality of sensor inputs for logging into a user account associated with the computing device, the computing device being associated with a plurality user accounts, each respective user account being associated with a respective distinct input pattern for logging into the respective user account; responsive to determining, by the processor and while the computing device is still in the inactivate state, that the plurality of sensor inputs define an input pattern that is within a first predetermined range of two or more distinct input patterns associated with two or more respective user accounts from the plurality of user accounts, automatically selecting a second predetermined range, wherein the second predetermined range is narrower than the first predetermined range; and responsive to determining, by the processor, that the input pattern is within the second predetermined range of only a first input pattern from the two or more distinct input patterns, activating the computing device, wherein activating the computing device comprises transitioning the computing device to an active state and logging into a user account from the plurality of user accounts that is associated with the first input pattern.
