1. A method for unlocking an electronic device, comprising:
- displaying a protection layer on the touch screen in the screen-locked state of the electronic device;
detecting a touch operation with the touch screen;
revealing an original layer visually covered by the protection layer by moving the entire protection layer according to the touch operation, wherein a spatial size of a revealed part of the original layer is positively correlated to a vertical moving distance of a top edge of the entire protection layer; and
moving the entire protection layer until the entire original layer is displayed on the touch screen, wherein a relative position between the original layer and the touch screen is not changed during moving the entire protection layer, and the electronic device is unlocked after the entire original layer is displayed on the touch screen.

Abstract
A method for unlocking a screen-locked state of a touch screen, and an electronic device and a recording medium using the same are disclosed. In the present method, during a screen-locked state, an unlocking area of a touch screen of the mobile device is divided into a first touch area and a second touch area by a separate line. Next, the touch screen is used to detect a touch operation of a user. If it is determined that the touch operation is started from the first touch area and ended in the second touch area, the screen of the mobile device is to be unlocked.
