A method for limiting usage of an application on a mobile terminal is provided. In an implementation, a usage limitation condition is preset for the application, where the usage limitation condition includes at least one of a geographical location, a time, and a network condition of the mobile terminal. A current operation environment corresponding to the usage limitation condition is obtained in response to receiving an input operation of a user. Usage of the application is limited when the operation environment meets the usage limitation condition, and the application is normally used when the operation environment does not meet the usage limitation condition.

According to a method for pushing a notification provided in some embodiments of the present disclosure, a to-be-notified event is obtained; a first notification condition and a second notification condition are determined; a first notification page is displayed on the display when the first notification condition is met, to display, to a user, first association information when the first notification condition is met, for example, event status information, to-be-executed behavior information, and operation association information; and a second notification page is displayed on the display when the second notification condition is met after the first notification page is displayed, to display, to the user, second association information when the second notification condition is met. A plurality of notification pages are pushed for a to-be-notified event, and each notification page is pushed when a notification condition is met as the event develops.

Provided is an improved direct store delivery (DSD) system for providing customized information to a user. The DSD system includes a device that receives a first voice command from the user and determines a current location of the user. The first voice command is then transformed into a first text request based on a conversion of the points in speech to points in data. Further, the first text request is processed to determine a first set of information, based on a current location of the device, to be provided audibly to the user. The first set of information is transmitted to the user through speech. The device further receives a second voice command from the user to interact with the first set of information. The second voice command is processed to determine a final set of information, and the final set of information is visually displayed to the user in an instance in which the user has arrived at a desired location.

A method for applying an always-on interface includes: displaying a first always-on interface, wherein the first always-on interface is an interface displayed when a terminal is in the always-on display state, and the first always-on interface includes a target control which is used to call out a target function item; receiving a first selection operation on the target control; and displaying an intermediate state interface according to the first selection operation, and the intermediate state interface is an interface displayed when the terminal is in the half always-on display state.

When a user approaches or accesses a device, the device attempts to recognize the user. A multi-user note management system takes different actions based on whether the user is recognized as the owner of the device, is recognized as a known user of the device, or is determined to be an unknown user of the device. If the user is recognized as the owner or a known user, the system receives user input and stores the user input as a note. If the user is an unknown user, the system does not allow the user to leave a note at the device, or receives user input and captures an image of the user, and stores the user input as a note associated with the captured image. When the owner of the device unlocks the device after a note has been left, the system displays or otherwise presents the notes.

A method for wireless policy enforcement of an MDM device according to the detection of a preselected state is provided. In one embodiment, the method includes providing a software application for execution by the MDM device, such that the MDM device determines whether or not the preselected state is present. If the preselected state is present, the software application is further operable to notify an MDM server, which then pushes temporary policy controls to the MDM device. The temporary policy controls overwrite existing policy controls and remove non-whitelisted application tiles from the MDM device home screen. Non-whitelisted application tiles can be selected by the MDM administrator and can include texting functions, social media applications, and internet browsers. The preselected state can include the presence or absence of motion, a minimum speed, location, date and time, proximity to a signal source, internet connectivity, Bluetooth connectivity, and combinations of the foregoing.

Disclosed are an electronic device and a control method thereof. The electronic device according to the present invention includes a display unit, a memory including at least one instruction, and a processor for executing at least one instruction to control the display unit to display a pattern image and a widget UI set by a user while the electronic device is operating in a standby mode, wherein the processor changes the pattern image on the basis of information contained in the widget UI or the type of the widget UI. Accordingly, the electronic device can provide a more diverse experience.

Disclosed in the embodiments of the present disclosure are a method and a device for reducing the power consumption of a mobile terminal, a storage medium and a mobile terminal. The method may include: acquiring, in a screen-off state, a fingerprint detected by a fingerprint recognition module; controlling, if the fingerprint is a non-unlocking fingerprint, a touch chip to output a touch sensing control signal to a touch display screen; finding, according to the fingerprint, a matching application program on which the user has rights to operate, and acquiring a set of blank screen gestures corresponding to the application program; and reporting, upon detection of a blank screen gesture belonging to the set of blank screen gestures, a blank screen gesture event to an application layer to execute an operation corresponding to the blank screen gesture.

An information content viewing method includes displaying, by a terminal, a first lock screen or keeps in a screen-off state, and displaying, by the terminal, a second lock screen after receiving first information, where the second lock screen displays a first control, and the first control prompts that content of the first information is hidden, receiving, by the terminal, a first operation of a user on a touchscreen, and collecting and verifying, by the terminal, fingerprint information of the user based on the first operation and displaying, by the terminal, a third lock screen after the verification on the fingerprint information succeeds, where the third lock screen displays the first control, and the first control displays the content of the first information.

A wireless device configured to temporarily unlock includes a processor configured to execute an unlocking application and a lock mechanism. The processor implementing the unlocking application to control the lock mechanism to unlock based on one of the following: the location provided by a location determination device or based on a time and date provided from the transceiver and/or the processor. A process to temporarily unlock a wireless device is also disclosed.
