Patent ID: 8694791

Claim:
A method comprising: outputting, by a computing device and for display at a first region of a presence-sensitive display, a first set of two or more selectable objects in a first arrangement of locations comprising at least a first location of a first selectable object of the first set, the computing device operating in a first instance of a first access state that denies access to one or more applications executable by the computing device, wherein the first selectable object of the first set comprises an element from a plurality of elements of a predetermined passcode; receiving, by the computing device, an indication of a first gesture to select the first selectable object; responsive to receiving an indication of a second gesture to designate the first selectable object as an element of a candidate passcode: outputting, by the computing device and for display at a second region of the presence-sensitive display, an indication that the selected object has been designated as the element of the candidate passcode, and transitioning, by the computing device, and based at least in part on a comparison between the candidate passcode and the predetermined passcode, the computing device from operating in the first instance of the first access state to operating in a second access state that permits access to the one or more applications executable by the computing device; and responsive to transitioning the computing device from operating in the second access state to operating in a second instance of the first access state, outputting, by the computing device and for display at the first region of a presence-sensitive display, a second set of two or more selectable objects in a second arrangement of locations, wherein the first set of two or more selectable objects and the second set of two or more selectable objects each include the first selectable object that comprises the element from the plurality of elements of the predetermined passcode, and wherein the second arrangement is different than the first arrangement such that the first selectable object that comprises the element from the plurality of elements of the predetermined passcode is displayed at a second location that is different than the first location of the first arrangement.
