This application is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 12/842,899, filed Jul. 23, 2010, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
Further, designers have attempted to provide certain restrictions on the operation or usage of wireless devices in certain contexts. However, the current state of the art fails to perform such a function in an efficient and/or non-intrusive manner. Sonic state of the art systems suggest selection of applications without logging in to the device by moving icons to a particular location of the screen. However, the state of the art generally requires active selection of an application by the user in addition to performing an action to unlock a selected application. These systems require much intervention from the user in order to obtain access to an application on the device.
FIG. 7 illustrates a block diagram depiction of the flow of access input data employed by the device of FIG. 1, in accordance with one illustrative embodiment;
One or more embodiments disclosed herein provide for one or more access input modes of a smart device, such as a cellular phone or a Smartphone (e.g., the iPhone™ from Apple Inc.), a desktop computer (e.g., the Mac Pro™ from Apple Inc.), a portable computer (e.g., the Macbook Air™ from Apple Inc.), a touchpad or tablet computer (e.g., the iPad™ from Apple Inc.), a portable music device (e.g., the iTouch™ from Apple Inc.) a personal digital assistant (PDA), etc. The term “smart device” may encompass a variety of types of devices that comprise a controller, a processor, a micro-controller, a micro-processor, programmable device (e.g., a field programmable device, an ASIC, etc.), and/or the like. Embodiments disclosed herein provide for access to a smart device in a relatively non-cumbersome or efficient manner.
The terms “adapted to” and “capable of as used herein may imply, among other things, that a device has a structure sufficient to perform some task or operation. The terms-adapted to” and “capable of” are not used to state (implicitly or explicitly) mere intended use limitations in the description and claims of the instant application.
The processor 510 of the device 100 is capable of performing (and/or adapted to perform) various processing-type functions that may affect the operation of the device 100. The processor 510 may represent a single processor, a plurality of processors (e.g., co-processors), digital signal processors (DSPs), microprocessors, and/or microcontrollers, memory components, etc., that work independently or in conjunction with each other. The memory components associated with the processor 510 may be a computer readable program storage device that may be encoded with instructions that, when executed by a computer or the processor 510, performs various methods associated with the embodiments described herein. The collective term processor 510. thus, may represent various types of processors, a computing device, a programmable device, and/or controllers. Further, a programmable device, such as a field programmable gate array (FPGA) device, an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), complex programmable logic device (CPLD), programmable logic array (PLA) and/or programmable array logic (PAL) may be implemented to perform various control functions that may be represented by the processor 510. In one embodiment, the processor 510 may be a computer as known to those skilled in the art having benefit of the present disclosure. In one embodiment, this computer may be a device that is capable of interfacing with a computer readable program storage device that may be encoded with instructions that, when executed by the computer, performs various methods associated with the embodiments described herein.
The access input interface 540 is capable of receiving one or more access inputs from a user. Further, the access input interface 540 is capable of processing an access input signal and performing various functions such as analog-to-digital (AID) conversion, filtering, digital signal processing, correlation(s), lookup functions (e.g., matching an access input signal to a stored signal), etc. The access input interface 540 is also capable of performing various functions relating to a graphical user interface. In other words, the access input interface 540 is capable of providing information to a user via a graphical interface and receiving information from an external source, such as a user. The access input signal received and processed by the access input interface 540 may comprise various types of signals, such as touch input signals from a touch-sensitive screen, audio signals, keyboard-generated signals, mouse-generated signals, infrared signals and/or the like. The access input interface 540 is operationally coupled to the access module 530 and is capable of sending and receiving signals to and from the access module 530.
Turning now to FIG. 9, a flowchart depiction of the method for accessing one or more applications of the device 100, in accordance with one illustrated embodiment, is provided. Generally, a device 100 may be locked by default, time out, or by active action by a user. Therefore, upon accessing the device 100, a user may provide an access input data, which may be received by the device 100 (block 910). The access input data may be one of several types of data described herein, such as audio data, keyboard/keypad entry data, mouse data, a touch-screen touch pattern, etc. The device 100 may then compare the access input data to one or more stored access input data (block 920). This may be performed by comparing the received data with data stored in a look up table, wherein the comparison data may be stored in the memory 520 (FIG. 5).
