Google的手機解鎖專利

自從Apple不斷的追打Android系統,Google似乎沒有足夠的子彈反擊,2011年Apple又獲得一個智慧型手機的殺手級專利─螢幕滑動解鎖,這也讓非蘋陣營的廠商一陣悚動。
Google終於不負眾望的發展了另一個可能與Apple對抗的螢幕解鎖專利,這個專利在2010.8.6.向USPTO提出申請,2012.2.9.公開。

US20120036556
Title : Input to Locked Computing Device
Filing Date : 2010.8.6.
Application Date : 2012.2.9.
Abstract :
The subject matter of this specification can be embodied in, among other things, a method that includes receiving at a computing device that is in a locked state, one or more user inputs to unlock the device and to execute at least one command that is different from a command for unlocking the device. The method further includes executing in response to the user inputs to unlock the device an unlocking operation by the device to convert the device from a locked state to an unlocked state. The method further includes executing the at least one command in response to receiving the user inputs to execute the at least one command. The at least one command executes so that results of executing the at least one command are first displayed on the device to a user automatically after the device changes from the locked state to the unlocked state.

Google的這個專利尚未核准,從USPTO的公開公報上可以看出:它的解鎖技術,為了迴避Apple的滑動解鎖,而使用更為複雜的方法,把命令icon拖到觸控螢幕上的一個解鎖icon處,就可以直接執行該程式,同時,它也提供語音解鎖的功能。
