Disclosed is a mobile device to provide enhanced security based upon contextual sensor inputs. The mobile device may include: a biometric sensor; a contextual sensor; and a processor. The processor may be configured to: determine an authentication score based upon a biometric input received from the biometric sensor; modulate the authentication score based upon a contextual sensor input from the contextual sensor related to an event; and determine if the modulated authentication score falls below a predetermined threshold. If the authentication score falls below the predetermined threshold, the processor may command that a secondary authentication be performed.

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.

This document describes techniques and systems for radar-based gesture-recognition with context-sensitive gating and other context-sensitive controls. Sensor data from a proximity sensor and/or a movement sensor produces a context of a user equipment. The techniques and systems enable the user equipment to recognize contexts when a radar system can be unreliable and should not be used for gesture-recognition, enabling the user equipment to automatically disable or “gate” the output from the radar system according to context. The user equipment prevents the radar system from transitioning to a high-power state to perform gesture-recognition in contexts where radar data detected by the radar system is likely due to unintentional input. By so doing, the techniques conserve power, improve accuracy, or reduce latency relative to many common techniques and systems for radar-based gesture-recognition.

A terminal screen-on/off control method includes receiving an operation instruction that is sent by a user by using a first terminal; if the operation instruction meets a preset condition, determining a current state of a screen of a second terminal, and if the current state of the screen is on, controlling the second terminal to turn off the screen; or if the current state of the screen is off, controlling the second terminal to turn on the screen. The preset condition is used to determine whether the second terminal is to turn the screen on/off. The first terminal can be directly used to control the second terminal to turn the screen on/off. This operation is very simple.

This disclosure discloses a display method and apparatus for a video playing interface, a terminal device, and a storage medium. The display method of the video playing interface includes: receiving, in a screen locking state of a terminal device, a video playing instruction of a user for a screen locking interface of the terminal device; and switching, in response to the video playing instruction, from the screen locking interface to a video playing interface displayed according to a video playing program in the screen locking state, wherein through the video playing program, a video list is displayed or video data is played in the video playing interface in the screen locking state.

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.

Provided is a computer implemented method and system for delivering text messages, emails, and messages from a messenger application to a user while the user is engaged in an activity, such as driving, exercising, or working. Typically, the emails and other messages are announced to the user and read aloud without any user input. In Drive Mode, while the user is driving, a clean interface is shown to the user, and the user can hear announcements and messages/emails aloud without looking at the screen of the phone, and use gestures to operate the phone. After a determination is made that a new text message and/or email has arrived, the user is informed aloud of the text message/email/messenger message and in most instances, and if the user takes no further action, the body and/or subject of the text message/email/messenger message is read aloud to the user. All messages can be placed in a single queue, and read to the user in order of receipt.

A camera shooting program control method, the method is applied to terminal equipment, and the method includes obtaining motion parameters collected by at least one motion sensor in response to a situation that the terminal equipment enters a camera shooting program from a screen locking state, and determining a motion state of the terminal equipment according to the motion parameters collected by the at least one motion sensor; obtaining a mistaken touch rate of a display screen of the terminal equipment in response to the motion state of the terminal equipment being a moving state; and exiting the camera shooting program in response to a condition that the mistaken touch rate is greater than a preset first proportion threshold value.

A display assembly for a terminal device, a terminal device, and a method for operating a display assembly are provided. The display assembly for a terminal device includes a display layer, capable of displaying information and being turned on and off; and a switchable film, disposed above the display layer, and capable of changing opacity of the switchable film.

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.
