摘要

An electronic device with unlocking function includes an accelerometer, an unlocking module, a touch screen and a storage. The accelerometer detects a direction of movement of the electronic device. The touch screen provides output and input for the electronic device. The touch screen detects a contact path of a user when the user contacts the touch screen. When the contact path matches an unlocking path stored in the storage, the electronic device is unlocked.
