USER-DEFINED SHORTCUTS FOR ACTIONS ABOVE THE LOCK SCREEN

摘要

Customized tasks can be performed above the lock screen in response to a user-defined shortcut input as an interaction with a user interface of a device while the device is in a locked state. A method for facilitating user-defined shortcuts for actions above the lock screen includes at least monitoring user interactions made with respect to the user interface of the device while the device is in the locked state for at least one interaction associated with at least one feature of an application. The user interaction may be a gestural input of a custom combination of one or more gestures on a designated region of the lock screen. The user-defined shortcut may be reconfigured at any time by a user.
