Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention provide an unlocking method of a touch screen terminal and a touch screen terminal. The method includes: when a touch screen terminal is in a locked status, displaying, by the touch screen terminal, an unlocking position and icon(s) of one group of application(s) of the touch screen terminal, where the one group of application(s) are determined by the touch screen terminal according to related information of executing applications by the touch screen terminal; detecting, by the touch screen terminal, whether an icon of an application among the one group of application(s) is dragged to the unlocking position; and when the touch screen terminal detects that the icon of the application among the one group of application(s) is dragged to the unlocking position, executing, by the touch screen terminal, an unlocking operation and starting running the detected application.

Claims

1. An unlocking method of a touch screen terminal, comprising:

displaying, by a touch screen terminal, an unlocking position and at least one icon of one group of at least one application of the touch screen terminal when the touch screen terminal is in a locked status, wherein the one group of at least one application are determined by the touch screen terminal according to related information of executing applications by the touch screen terminal;

detecting, by the touch screen terminal, whether an icon of an application among the one group of at least one application is dragged to the unlocking position; and

executing, by the touch screen terminal, an unlocking operation and starting running the application when the touch screen terminal detects that the icon of the application among the one group of at least one application is dragged to the unlocking position.

2. The method according to claim 1, further comprising:

determining, by the touch screen terminal, the one group of at least one application of the touch screen terminal according to the related information of executing applications by the touch screen terminal.

3. The method according to claim 2, wherein the determining, by the touch screen terminal, the one group of at least one application of the touch screen terminal according to the related information of executing applications by the touch screen terminal comprises:

determining, by the touch screen terminal, the one group of at least one application of the touch screen terminal according to the related information of executing applications by the touch screen terminal and a preset application determination policy.

4. The method according to claim 3, wherein the application determination policy at least comprises one of the following policies:

determining, according to the number of times of use of each application, that the one group of at least one application comprise at least one application, wherein the number of times of use of the at least one application is greater than a preset threshold among the applications of the touch screen terminal;

determining, according to use time of each application, that the one group of at least one application comprise at least one application, wherein a difference between use time of the at least one application and current time is less than a preset threshold among the applications of the touch screen terminal;

determining, according to a priority of each application, that the one group of at least one application comprise at least one application whose priority is greater than a preset threshold among the applications of the touch screen terminal.

5. A touch screen terminal, comprising:

a displaying module, configured to display an unlocking position and at least one icon of one group of at least one application of the touch screen terminal when the touch screen terminal is in a locked status, wherein the one group of at least one application are determined by the touch screen terminal according to related information of executing applications by the touch screen terminal;

a detecting module, configured to detect whether an icon of an application among the one group of at least one application is dragged to the unlocking position; and

an unlocking module, configured to execute an unlocking operation and start running the application detected by the detecting module, when the detecting module detects that the icon of the application among the one group of at least one application is dragged to the unlocking position.

6. The touch screen terminal according to claim 5, further comprising a determining module, configured to determine the one group of at least one application of the touch screen terminal according to the related information of executing applications by the touch screen terminal.

7. The touch screen terminal according to claim 6, wherein the determining module is specifically configured to:

determine the one group of at least one application of the touch screen terminal according to the related information of executing applications by the touch screen terminal and a preset application determination policy.

8. The touch screen terminal according to claim 7, wherein the determining module at least comprises any one of the following units:

a first determining unit, configured to determine, according to the number of times of use of each application, that the one group of at least one application comprise at least one application, wherein the number of times of use of the at least one application is greater than a preset threshold among the applications of the touch screen terminal;

a second determining unit, configured to determine, according to use time of each of the application, that the one group of at least one application comprise at least one application, wherein a difference between use time of the at least one application and current time is less than a preset threshold among the applications of the touch screen terminal; and

a third determining unit, configured to determine, according to a priority of each application, that the one group of at least one application comprise at least one application whose priority is greater than a preset threshold among the applications of the touch screen terminal.

9. A touch screen terminal, comprising:

a display, configured to display an unlocking position and at least one icon of one group of at least one application of the touch screen terminal when the touch screen terminal is in a locked status, wherein the one group of at least one application are determined by the touch screen terminal according to related information of executing applications by the touch screen terminal;

a processor, configured to

detect whether an icon of an application among the one group of at least one application is dragged to the unlocking position; and

execute an unlocking operation and start running the application detected by the detecting module, when the icon of the application among the one group of at least one application is dragged to the unlocking position.
