Abstract
A multiple-access-level lock screen system allows different levels of functionality to be accessed on a computing device. For example, when a device is in a locked state, a user can select (e.g., by making one or more gestures on a touchscreen) a full-access lock screen pane and provide input that causes the device to be fully unlocked, or a user can select a partial-access lock screen pane and provide input that causes only certain resources (e.g., particular applications, attached devices, documents, etc.) to be accessible. Lock screen panes also can be selected (e.g., automatically) in response to events. For example, when a device is in a locked state, a messaging access lock screen pane can be selected automatically in response to an incoming message, and a user can provide input at the messaging access lock screen pane that causes only a messaging application to be accessible.

20. One or more computer-readable storage media having encoded thereon computer-executable instructions causing a computer to perform a method comprising:
-
displaying on a touchscreen of a mobile computing device having a display area, a default lock screen pane in a graphical user interface comprising plural lock screen panes, wherein the default lock screen pane is associated with a default access level, and wherein the default lock screen pane comprises a visual indication that the mobile computing device is in a locked state; receiving selection input comprising gesture input on the touchscreen; selecting a lock screen pane other than the default lock screen pane based on the selection input; displaying the selected lock screen pane in the display area, wherein the selected lock screen pane is associated with an access level that differs from the default access level; receiving unlock input at the selected lock screen pane; determining whether the unlock input is sufficient to enable functionality on the mobile computing device that corresponds to the access level associated with the selected lock screen pane; exiting the locked state in response to the determining; displaying a visual indication that the locked state has been exited in the display area; and enabling the functionality that corresponds to the access level associated with the selected lock screen pane.
