Claim 14:
15. A computer program product comprising computer-executable instructions stored on a non-transitory computer-readable medium that, when executed by one or more processors, cause an apparatus to:
perform a first user authentication for unlocking a touch screen of the apparatus;
record a first time when the first user authentication succeeds;
detect a first input for executing an application program when the touch screen is unlocked, wherein the application program is configured to require a second user authentication for executing the application program, and wherein the first input is detected at a second time after the first time;
compare a time interval between the first time and the second time with a preset time threshold to detect whether the time interval is less than the preset time threshold or the time interval is greater than the preset time threshold;
lock the application program and require perform the second user authentication to start the application program when the time interval is greater than the preset time threshold; and
start the application program without performing the second user authentication when the time interval is less than the preset time threshold and the first user authentication succeeds.
