Unlocking a head mounted device
First Claim
1. A computing device comprising:
- a non-transitory computer readable medium; and
program instructions stored on the non-transitory computer readable medium and executable by at least one processor to;
cause a computing device to operate in a locked mode; and
while the computing device is in the locked mode;
(a) analyze head-pose data to determine whether a head pose associated with the computing device matches a predetermined head pose;
(b) analyze touchpad data associated with the computing device to detect a predetermined sequence of touch gestures;
(c) if both (i) the head pose matches the predetermined head pose and (ii) the predetermined sequence of touch gestures is detected, then cause computing device switch to an unlocked mode; and
(d) otherwise, refrain from causing computing device switch to the unlocked mode.

Abstract
Embodiments described herein may help to provide a lock-screen for a computing device. An example method involves, while a computing device is in a locked mode, the computing device: (a) analyzing head-pose data to determine whether a head pose associated with the computing device matches a predetermined head pose, (b) analyzing touchpad data associated with the computing device to detect a predetermined sequence of touch gestures, (c) if both (i) the head pose matches the predetermined head pose and (ii) the predetermined sequence of touch gestures is detected, then the computing device switching to an unlocked mode, and (d) otherwise, refraining from causing computing device switch to the unlocked mode.

15. A computer-implemented method comprising:
-
while a computing device is in a locked mode, the computing device; analyzing head-pose data to determine whether a head pose associated with the computing device matches a predetermined head pose; analyzing touchpad data associated with the computing device to detect a predetermined sequence of touch gestures; if both (i) the head pose matches the predetermined head pose and (ii) the predetermined sequence of touch gestures is detected, then the computing device switching to an unlocked mode; and otherwise, refraining from causing computing device switch to the unlocked mode. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17)

18. A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored therein instructions executable by a computing device to cause the computing device to perform functions comprising:
-
while a computing device is in a locked mode, the computing device; analyzing head-pose data to determine whether a head pose associated with the computing device matches a predetermined head pose; analyzing touchpad data associated with the computing device to detect a predetermined sequence of touch gestures; if both (i) the head pose matches the predetermined head pose and (ii) the predetermined sequence of touch gestures is detected, then the computing device switching to an unlocked mode; and otherwise, refraining from causing computing device switch to the unlocked mode.

19. A computing device comprising:
-
a non-transitory computer readable medium; and program instructions stored on the non-transitory computer readable medium and executable by at least one processor to; cause a computing device to operate in a locked mode and an unlocked mode; and while the computing device is in the locked mode; (a) analyze head-pose data to determine whether a head pose associated with the computing device matches a predetermined head pose; (b) if the associated head pose matches the predetermined head pose, then; (i) analyze touchpad data associated with the computing device to detect a predetermined sequence of touch gestures; and (ii) if the predetermined sequence of touch gestures is detected, then cause computing device switch to the unlocked mode; and (c) otherwise, refrain from causing computing device switch to the unlocked mode. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21)
