P1: Smart Phone Interaction Workaround

Patent Claim… Claim 1. A computer-implemented method of controlling a portable electronic device comprising a touch-sensitive display (408, 1014), comprising: detecting contact with the touch-sensitive display while the device is in a user-interface lock state; transitioning the device to a user-interface unlock state if the detected contact corresponds to a predefined gesture; and maintaining the device in the user-interface lock state if the detected contact does not correspond to the predefined gesture; characterized by moving an unlock image along a predefined displayed path on the touch-sensitive display in accordance with the contact, wherein the unlock image is a graphical, interactive user-interface object with which a user interacts in order to unlock the device.

Main Idea Sketch, design, implement and document via a portfolio an interface that provides an alternative way to unlock a mobile phone equipped with a multi-touch display and sensors. Develop two techniques: one with gestural/multi-touch input; one with sensor input (for one handed use) Use animation to provide feedback Goodness: should avoid accidental activation & that it can be used as a weak password
