【detailed description】

The aforementioned and other technical content, features and effects of the present invention will be clearly presented in the following detailed description of three preferred embodiments with reference to the drawings.

Before the present invention is described in detail, it should be noted that in the following description, similar components are denoted by the same numerals.

Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 , the first preferred embodiment of the password forming method for an electronic device of the present invention is executed on a password forming system for an electronic device. The system includes a display unit 2, a receiving unit 3 and a processor 4. In this embodiment, the receiving unit 3 is combined with the display unit 2 to form a touch display, but not limited thereto. Unit 3 can also be a mouse that detects press and move input sources. The method includes the following steps:

Step S1—the display unit 2 displays a point and a plurality of path pointers extending from the starting point to different directions, and each path pointer has an end point. In this embodiment, the path pointers are four arrows extending from the starting point S to the up, down, left, and right directions respectively, and have four end points of A, B, C, and D respectively (as shown in Figure 3) , but not limited thereto, it may also be eight or other numbers of multiple orientations arranged radially. The path pointers of the present invention are not limited to radial arrangement, as long as each path pointer represents a specific path and has a common point and an end point.

Step S2 - the receiving unit 3 receives a guidance action input from the outside and sends it to the processor 4 . The processor 4 determines if the guiding action meets a preset input condition, and proceeds to the next step.

The input condition is that the guiding action starts from the starting point and moves along one of the path pointers to the end point of the path pointer, and terminates at the end point signal.

In this embodiment, the guidance action is a touch signal generated by the touch-sensitive display being touched by a finger, but it is not limited thereto. The touch signal generated by the input received by the display, or the mouse signal generated by the mouse being pressed.

Taking a finger as an example again, a touch signal will be generated after the finger touches the touch display, and a series of touch signals including time and position information will be generated when the finger moves without leaving the touch display. This is the guidance action. After the finger leaves the touch-sensitive display, the guiding action signal is terminated. Therefore, the way of inputting a touch signal that meets the input conditions in step S2 with a finger is that the finger first touches the starting point, moves along one of the path pointers to the end point of the path pointer, and leaves (no contact) at the end point. The touch-sensitive display.

Step S3 - the processor 4 records a code corresponding to the guidance action, and the content of the code includes the path pointer.

Steps S2 and S3 are then repeated, and the codes are accumulated and recorded sequentially. This process is repeated until the receiving unit 3 does not receive a signal for a predetermined end time, or after receiving a confirmation command, a password is formed.

For example, the receiving unit 3 receives three guidance actions in sequence, namely moving to the end point A, the end point B, and the end point B again, then at the end of the first guidance action, the content of the code is "A ", corresponding to the first guiding action; when the second guiding action ends, because the accumulatively recorded "B" corresponding to the second guiding action, the coded content obtained by the accumulated record is "AB"; the last third At the end of the guidance action, the code is accumulated to form "ABB". And still have another kind of recording mode, be to also add counting when recording code, for example " ABB " is recorded as " A1-B2 ", promptly represent to have an " A " earlier, then follow two " B ", also can achieve the same effect, but this embodiment is not limited to the above method. In actual operation, the user starts to touch from the start point S, and moves the pointer along the path with the end point "A" to the end point A and then leaves the touch (that is, the signal is terminated), thus recording and encoding an "A". Then the user starts to touch again from the starting point S, and moves the pointer along the path with the end point "B" to the end point B and then leaves the touch, which is to record and encode a "B". Record codes are accumulated in this manner to form a cipher.

It should be emphasized that, in this embodiment, not as long as the finger reaches the end point "A", it is not necessary to record "A" into the code. The "A" in the code represents the path pointer whose end point is "A", and the finger must It will be recorded only when the pointer moves to the end point A along the path pointer whose end point is "A". In practice, the path pointer has a certain tolerance range. As long as the user's touch movement is within the fault tolerance range of the path pointer, it can be regarded as "moving the finger along the path pointer". The tolerance range may be, for example, a range greater than the line width of the path pointer, or, for example, the proportion of the portion of the finger movement path that deviates from the path pointer.

Referring to FIG. 4 , the second preferred embodiment of the password forming method for an electronic device of the present invention is substantially the same as the first preferred embodiment, including step S1, step S21 similar to but different from step S2, and step S3. The difference is that an input condition of step S21 is that the guiding action starts from the starting point and moves along one of the path pointers to the end point of the path pointer, and reversely returns to the starting point from the end point (similar to a joystick). That is to say, in this embodiment, the user can move the finger back and forth between the starting point and one of the end points without interrupting the input of the guidance action (for example: the finger does not leave the touch-sensitive display) to form a the password. In the process, the coding recording method is the same as that of the first preferred embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

Referring to Fig. 5, the third preferred embodiment of the password forming method of the electronic device of the present invention is substantially the same as the first preferred embodiment, including step S1, step S22 similar but different from step S2, and similar but different from step S2 Step S32 of step S3. The difference lies in that the input condition in step S22 and the encoding content in step S32 are different. The input condition of step S22 is that the guiding action starts from the starting point and moves along one of the path pointers to the end point of the path pointer, and the signal of the guiding action is terminated after staying at the end point for a counted time. The encoded content of step S32 includes the path pointer and the information generated by counting.

In this embodiment, within the counting time, the display unit 2 also displays a number corresponding to the count (as shown in Figure 6), and as the counting time increases, the number also changes, generally speaking, gradually increases The coding content described in step S32 includes the path pointer and the number, but the implementation style is not limited to this, and it can also be a character symbol or a color corresponding to the count display; the character symbol or the color Can be generated randomly, or in a predetermined order. In the embodiment of displaying the character symbol or the color, the coded content in step S32 includes the path pointer and the character symbol, or includes the path pointer and the color.

For example, the receiving unit 3 receives two guidance actions in sequence, respectively moving to the end point A and staying for one second, and moving to the end point B and staying for two seconds, then when the first guidance action ends, the code The content is "A1", corresponding to the first guiding action, representing the path pointer whose end point is "A" and a number "1" obtained by counting after staying for one second; It corresponds to "B2" of the second guidance action, so the coded content obtained by accumulating and recording is "A1-B2". It can be noted that the encoding and recording method described here can be applied not only to the third preferred embodiment, but also to the first and second preferred embodiments, that is, to all preferred embodiments of the present invention.

In addition, in the password forming method of the electronic device of the present invention, in the password setting stage, forming the password is setting the password; in the use stage after the password setting, forming the password is inputting the password. Combined with the use of a lock screen, the user can prevent the user from accidentally touching the input interface of the electronic device when not in use, because the user must input the password according to a predetermined specific method to unlock.

It is worth mentioning that, in each embodiment of the present invention, the user can complete the formation action of the password only by using one-handed touch, and because it is multiple times to move between the starting point and each of the end points, when others watch Compared with the password formation method such as clicking the numeric keypad, it has higher privacy. For example, when you want to input "5 times to the right" in Embodiment 1 or 2, you need to move 5 times, and click the number key 5, you only need to click once, and the way of using movement increases the difficulty of observation by others, and has a higher Confidentiality, and in embodiment three, bystanders need to pay attention to the direction of movement in addition to the numbers shown, increasing the difficulty of stealing passwords.

To sum up, the input condition that the guiding action needs to meet is limited by the path pointer, so that the guiding action is moved between the starting point and each of the ending points multiple times, and the password is formed after accumulating and recording, which can prevent the user from Touching the input interface by mistake when not in use, and even under the gaze of others, also has higher privacy, so the purpose of the present invention can be really achieved.
