Abstract
Embodiments enable a mobile device to execute an action analogous to a user-defined action in response to receipt of a gesture analogous to a user-defined gesture. In a first embodiment, a computer-implemented method executes an action on a mobile device. A lock screen view is displayed on the mobile device to prevent unauthorized and inadvertent access to the mobile device's data. While the mobile device is locked, a touch gesture having a pre-defined shape is detected on a touch screen of the mobile device independently of the initial position of the touch gesture on the touch screen. In response to detection of the touch gesture, a particular action is executed on the mobile device while the mobile device stays locked. The particular action determined according to the pre-defined shape. In this way, detection of the touch gesture causes the particular action to execute while keeping the mobile device locked.
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- This field relates to touch gestures on a mobile device.
- 2. Background Art
- Some mobile devices, such as cell phones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), portable navigation devices (PNDs) and handheld game consoles, include touch screens. These devices accept input by detecting movements, known as touch gestures, of fingers or other objects in contact with the touch screen. Upon detection of a touch gesture, the mobile device, or an application stored thereon, may execute an action. For example, upon detection of a pinch touch gesture, a web browsing application may zoom out of a web page.
- Mobile devices generally include lock screens to prevent unauthorized or unintentional access to the device. Mobile devices running the ANDROID operating system, available from Google Inc., enable a user to define a touch pattern gesture to unlock a touch screen. This feature, known as pattern unlock, enables a user to define a gesture to authenticate the user and unlock the device. Once the device is unlocked, user can execute functionality of the mobile device. However, unlocking the mobile device and then executing the desired action is a multi-step process and can be cumbersome.
- Systems and methods are needed that enable users to access more easily functionality of a locked mobile device.
- Embodiments enable a user to execute an action by inputting a touch gesture directly from a lock screen. In a first embodiment, a computer-implemented method executes an action on a mobile device. A lock screen view is displayed on the mobile device to prevent unauthorized and inadvertent access to the mobile device's data. While the mobile device is locked, a touch gesture having a pre-defined shape is detected on a touch screen of the mobile device independently of the initial position of the touch gesture on the touch screen. In response to detection of the touch gesture, a particular action is executed on the mobile device while the mobile device stays locked. The particular action is determined according to the pre-defined shape. In this way, detection of the touch gesture causes the particular action to execute while keeping the mobile device locked.
- In a second embodiment, a system executes an action on a mobile device. The system includes a lock screen module that displays a lock screen view on the mobile device to prevent unauthorized and inadvertent access to the mobile device's data. While the lock screen module displays the lock screen view, a gesture interpretation module detects a touch gesture having a pre-defined shape on a touch screen of the mobile device independently of the initial position of the touch gesture on the touch screen. In response to detection of the touch gesture and while the mobile device remains locked, a lock action module executes a particular action on an application of the mobile device determined according to the pre-defined shape. The mobile device comprises at least one processor and memory. In this way, detection of the touch gesture initiates the particular action while keeping the mobile device locked.
- In a third embodiment, a computer-implemented method executes an action on a mobile device. When the mobile device is unlocked, a user is able to define a shape of a touch gesture to cause the mobile device to execute a particular action. A lock screen view is displayed on the mobile device to prevent unauthorized and inadvertent access to the mobile device's data. While the mobile device is locked, a touch gesture having the shape defined by the user is detected on a touch screen of the mobile device. In response to detection of the touch gesture, a particular action is executed on the mobile device while the mobile device stays locked. In this way, detection the user-defined shape securely authorizes execution of the particular action while the mobile device is locked.
- Further embodiments, features, and advantages of the invention, as well as the structure and operation of the various embodiments of the invention are described in detail below with reference to accompanying drawings.
- The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated herein and form a part of the specification, illustrate the present invention and, together with the description, further serve to explain the principles of the invention and to enable a person skilled in the pertinent art to make and use the invention.

- As mentioned above, executing actions from a lock screen can be a cumbersome multi-step process. Embodiments disclosed herein enable a user to execute an action by inputting a touch gesture directly from a lock screen. In an embodiment, the mobile device may detect the touch gesture without regard to its initial position on the touch screen. In this way, a user can execute an action while keeping the mobile device locked without looking at the mobile device's view. In another embodiment, the touch gesture to execute the action may be pre-defined by the user. In this way, detection of the touch gesture serves to verify that the user has authority to execute the action while the mobile device remains locked. These and other embodiments are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

lock screen module 210 may prevent unauthorized access to the mobile device.Lock screen module 210 may prevent unauthorized access to a user's personal data on a mobile device. The lock screen module may receive an input to authenticate the user and, in response to the authenticated input, unlock the mobile device. In an example, the input may be a touch gesture that the user had pre-set for authentication purposes. -
Touch receiver 202 may be any type of touch receiver that accepts input from a touch screen. In an example,touch receiver 202 may receive touch input on a view (not shown) ofmobile device 200. The touch input received may include a position that the user touched as defined by an X and Y coordinate on the screen. The user may touch the screen with a finger, stylus, or other object.Touch receiver 202 may be able to receive multiple touches simultaneously if, for example, the user selects multiple locations on the screen. The screen may detect touches using any technology known in the art including, but not limited to, resistive, capacitive, infrared, surface acoustic wave, strain gauge, optical imaging, acoustic pulse recognition, frustrated total internal reflection, and diffused laser imaging technologies. - In an embodiment,
touch receiver 202 may receive two user inputs. For example,touch receiver 202 may sample inputs on the touch screen periodically.Touch receiver 202 may receive a first user input at a first sampling period and may receive a second user input at a second sampling period. The first user input may indicate that an object has touched a view of the mobile device, and the second user input may indicate that the object has moved to a new position. In this way,touch receiver 202 is able to receive touch gestures. In an example, a gesture may be a single stroke and may terminate with the user lifts her finger from the touch screen. In another example, a gesture may include multiple strokes. -
Gesture definition module 204 enables a user to define a touch gesture to initiate an associated action. In an embodiment,gesture definition module 204 may present an interface to define a touch gesture for an action. For example,gesture definition module 204 may present the user with a list of actions for which the user may define a gesture. The user may select an action from the list of actions. In an example, the mobile device may enable a user to enter a touch gesture using an interface as described below with respect toFIG. 4 . In response to the selection, gesture definition module may prompt the user for the touch gesture. The user may move her finger along the mobile device's touch screen to input the gesture.Touch receiver 202 receives the input and forwards data specifying the input togesture definition module 210. Finally,gesture definition module 210 stores data specifying at least the shape of the touch gesture intogesture database 212. In this way, a user can define any shape for the touch gesture. -
Gesture database 206 may store data specifying touch gestures for associated actions. In an embodiment,gesture database 206 may store data specifying a shape of a touch gesture and identifying an action corresponding to the touch gesture. In an embodiment, the touch gestures may be defined by a user using gesture definition module. In other embodiments, pre-defined touch gestures may not be defined by a user. For example, an “up” arrow may cause the mobile device to turn its volume up, and a “down” arrow may cause the mobile device to turn its volume down. In another example, a letter may designate a particular action. For example, the letter “D” may cause the mobile device to display the day's schedule. - Once a user defines a touch gesture, the user may input the touch gesture while the mobile device is locked to execute the action.
Touch receiver 202 may receive the touch gesture on the touch screen of the mobile device. -
Gesture interpretation module 208 may determine whether the inputted touch gesture matches a pre-defined touch gesture.Gesture interpretation module 208 may compare the shape of the inputted touch gesture to the shape of the pre-defined touch gesture. In an embodiment,gesture interpretation module 208 may detect a matching touch gesture regardless of a difference in position between the inputted touch gesture and the pre-defined touch gesture on the touch screen of the mobile device. By detecting the touch gesture independently from its initial position on the touch screen of the mobile device, a user can execute an action more easily without looking at the touch screen of the mobile device. This is especially useful in when the mobile device is locked, because the user may not have been actively using the mobile device before the gesture. - In an embodiment,
gesture interpretation module 208 may first need to be activated by some other input. In examples,gesture interpretation module 208 may be initiated by pressing a physical button, detecting motion, or detecting a change in lighting.Gesture interpretation module 208 may provide feedback (e.g., making a sound or vibration) to indicate when it is accepting input. - When
gesture interpretation module 208 detects a matching touch gesture,gesture interpretation module 208 may provide feedback to a user. For example,gesture interpretation module 208 may present a line showing the shape of the touch gesture or may cause the mobile device to vibrate or make a noise. In this way,gesture interpretation module 208 acknowledges that the touch gesture was detected. - When
gesture interpretation module 208 detects a matching touch gesture,lock action module 214 may initiate an action.Lock action module 214 may initiate any type of action. In an example, the action may change a setting on the mobile device, such changing the volume or disabling sounds or alarms. In another example, the action may execute an application, such as a game, on the mobile device. The mobile device may enable a user to download and install applications to expand the functionality of the mobile device. The action may result in the display of data to the user while the touch screen is locked. A user may be able to define an action that corresponds to a particular gesture. For example, a user may be able to define an “at the beach” or “on vacation” gesture that silences the mobile device and clears the day's schedule on the user's calendar. In an embodiment, the action may access and display personal data frompersonal database 212. -
Personal database 212 may store personal data relating to a specific user, such as calendar data, contact data, emails and text messages. This information may be particularly sensitive and, for that reason, requiring authentication to access it may be particularly useful. In that way, if a user misplaces her mobile device, or if the mobile device is stolen, the data remains secure. - In an example operation, a user may define a gesture to view the day's schedule using
gesture definition module 204. Data defining the gesture and indicating the corresponding action is stored ingesture database 206. When the mobile device is locked, the user may input the previously defined touch gesture.Gesture interpretation module 208 identifies the inputted touch gesture and instructslock action module 214 to display the calendar data while the mobile device remains locked.Lock action module 214 may retrieve the schedule for that day and display to the user. In this way,mobile device 214 may securely display calendar data to the user, without having to unlock the device. - Each of the
gesture definition module 204,gesture interpretation module 208,lock action module 214, andlock screen module 210 may be implemented in hardware, software, firmware, or any combination thereof. -
Gesture database 206 andpersonal database 212 may be any type of persistent memory including, for example, a SQL database. -
Mobile device 200 may be implemented on any type of mobile computing device. Such computing device can include, but is not limited to, a personal computer, mobile device such as a mobile phone, workstation, embedded system, game console, television, set-top box, or any other computing device.

The computing device may also have multiple processors and multiple shared or separate memory components. -
FIG. 3A shows a flowchart illustrating amethod 300 for defining a touch gesture. In an embodiment,method 300 may be used in operation ofgesture definition module 204. In an example,method 300 may only be executed when the user is authenticated or when the device is unlocked. - At
step 302, a user is presented with an interface to define a touch gesture for an action. For example, a user may select an action and the mobile device may prompt to user to input a touch gesture to execute the action while locked. In other examples, the interface may enable a user to define a sequence of actions to execute in response to the touch gesture. To enable the user to define the touch gesture, the mobile device may present a 9-dot pattern as described with respect toFIG. 4 below. - At
step 304, the mobile device receives a touch gesture from the user. For example, the user may touch a position on the touch screen. While remaining in contact with the touch screen, the user may move her finger along the surface of the screen. The touch gesture may terminate when the user removes her finger from the surface of the touch screen. As mentioned above, in other examples, a gesture may include a series of strokes on the touch screen. - At
step 306, data is stored representing the shape of the touch gesture received instep 304. The data may represent the shape of the touch gesture. For example, the data may represent may represent the path on the touch screen of the mobile device. In this way, by enabling a user to define the gesture, the gesture may be used to authenticate the user prior to executing an action while the mobile device is locked. -
FIG. 3B shows a flowchart illustrating amethod 300 for detecting a touch gesture and executing an action in response to the touch gesture. In an embodiment,method 300 may be executed onmobile device 200 inFIG. 2 . - At
step 352, a lock screen view may be displayed on the mobile device to prevent unauthorized or inadvertent access to a mobile device. The mobile device may prevent inadvertent access by failing to react to any other input until a particular touch gesture input is received. The mobile device may prevent unauthorized access if the particular touch gesture input that has been previously defined by the user. - At
step 354, a touch gesture is detected on the touch screen of the mobile device, while the mobile device is locked. Data representing the inputted touch gesture may be compared with data representing the pre-defined touch gestures. In an embodiment, the shape of the inputted touch gesture may be compared with the shape of pre-defined touch gestures. The shapes may be compared independent of their position on the touch screen of the mobile device. In this way, by comparing the shape of the touch gesture independent of its position, a user can input the touch gesture without looking at the touch screen. - If the inputted touch gesture matches a pre-defined touch gesture, then an action corresponding to the touch gesture is executed while the mobile device is locked at
step 356. In this way, a user may execute an action while the mobile device remains locked. -
FIG. 4 is diagram 400 illustrating aninterface 402 to define a touch gesture to execute an action from a lock screen view to execute an action, according to an embodiment.Interface 402 includes a number of dots, such asdot 404.
