1. A method for unlocking a locked computing device, comprising:
- identifying, by the computing device, a first numerical value, wherein the first numerical value comprises at least a portion of a current time or a current temperature displayed on a display associated with the computing device;
generating, based on the first numerical value, an input portion of a user interface configured in a locked state;
determining, based on the first numerical value, a second numerical value; and
in response to receiving, via the input portion, a gesture input corresponding to the second numerical value, transitioning the user interface from the locked state to an unlocked state.

Abstract
According to some aspects, disclosed methods and systems may include determining, by an electronic device, a value associated with a first parameter configured to dynamically change, and displaying, via a user interface, an object corresponding to the value associated with the first parameter. The methods and systems may also include receiving, via the user interface, an input intended to unlock the electronic device, unlocking the electronic device if the received input interacts with the object in a predefined manner, and maintaining the electronic device in a locked state if the received input does not interact with the object in the predefined manner.

13. A method comprising:
-
determining, by a computing device that is in a locked state, a first numerical value and a second numerical value that are displayed on a display associated with the computing device; applying a preselected mathematical formula to the first numerical value and the second numerical value, thereby generating a third numerical value; displaying, on the display of the computing device, a plurality of slide inputs, wherein each slide input of the plurality of slide inputs corresponds to one of a plurality of numerical values; receiving a selection of a slide input of the plurality of slide inputs, wherein the selected slide input corresponds to the third numerical value; and in response to receiving the selection of the slide input, unlocking the computing device. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)
