BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments may be combined with each other without conflict. Considering the related art, the existing unlocking information input is difficult and requires a lot of effort to memorize the technical problems such as the password. The related solutions are provided below in conjunction with the embodiments, and will now be described in detail. Embodiment 1 FIG. 1 is a flowchart of an unlocking method according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1 , the method includes: Step S102: Detecting a specified action performed on a terminal; Step S104: Acquire, before detecting a specified action, acquiring unlocking information pre-stored by the terminal, where the specified action corresponds to the unlocking information; S106: Unlock the specified application of the terminal by using the unlocking information. Through the above various processing steps, since the related unlock information stored by the terminal itself can be acquired according to the specified action performed on the terminal, the step of memorizing the password is omitted, and the user experience is improved. In the above process, the specified action may be in various implementation forms, for example: for a terminal provided with a gravity sensor or a level sensor, the unlocking information may be triggered by a rocking action of different postures; for a terminal provided with a touch screen, The specified sliding trajectory made on the touch screen of the terminal can be detected. In this case, the specified sliding trajectory made from the designated position of the touch screen can be detected. In addition, different key operations can be considered as the specified action. : For example, using different key combinations, that is, combining key operations. For the different implementation forms of the above specified actions, when detecting the specified slide track made from the designated position of the touch screen as a starting point, in order to facilitate the user to find the specified position, it is also necessary to perform the step of displaying the specified position. In order to further ensure the security of the unlock information, the above-mentioned area for displaying the specified position may be set to be random. The representation of the step S106 may include, but is not limited to, the following two types: the first type, the unlocking information is displayed to the terminal user, and the terminal user unlocks the specified application according to the unlocking information; Specify the app to unlock. The unlocking information may unlock multiple specified applications, and the same specified action may also acquire multiple unlocking information. In other words, the unlocking information corresponds to multiple specified applications, and/or the specified action corresponds to multiple unlockings. information. The storage of the unlocking information may be implemented by setting in the terminal in advance, or may be stored when the specified application of the terminal is unlocked for the first time. In the embodiment, an unlocking device is also provided for implementing the above-mentioned embodiments and preferred embodiments. The descriptions of the modules and the preferred embodiments have been omitted. The modules involved in the devices are described below. As used hereinafter, the term "module" may implement a combination of software and/or hardware of a predetermined function. Although the apparatus described in the following embodiments is preferably implemented in software, hardware, or a combination of software and hardware, is also possible and conceivable. 2 is a block diagram showing the structure of an unlocking apparatus according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, the device includes: a detecting module 20, connected to the obtaining module 22, configured to detect a specified action performed on the terminal; and an obtaining module 22 connected to the unlocking module 24, configured to acquire when the specified action is detected The unlocking information pre-stored by the terminal, wherein the specified action corresponds to the unlocking information; and the unlocking module 24 is configured to unlock the specified application of the terminal by using the unlocking information. Through the functions implemented by the foregoing modules, the related unlocking information stored by the terminal itself can be obtained according to the specified action performed on the terminal. Therefore, the step of omitting the memory password can be implemented to improve the user experience. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the foregoing detecting module 20 includes: a first detecting unit 200 configured to detect a specified sliding track made on the touch screen when the terminal includes the touch screen. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the foregoing detecting module 20 may further include: a second detecting unit 202 configured to detect a key operation performed on the terminal In order to better understand the above-described Embodiment 1, the following will be described in detail in conjunction with Embodiment 2 and related drawings. The main design idea of the following embodiment is that the user will save this field in a memory area of the system after entering the password for the first time, and at the same time give an explicit position prompt in a certain area of the screen. When the password is needed next time, the user removes the password at this location (or nearby area) by special gestures or combination of buttons, and then performs subsequent operations. Embodiment 2 This embodiment provides a method of inputting unlock information (password) using a hidden method in a device having a display screen. This embodiment can be applied to a variety of screens, multiple layouts, and a variety of applications, and is not limited to the input of passwords, and is still effective for some inputs that require encrypted information. The input of the above unlocking information can be divided into two steps. The first step is to select a location on the interface, and the second step is to initiate from the location, and the user initiates a means that the system can detect as an input action. The means by which the system can detect can be a combination of several buttons, or a gesture operation on a touch screen. In the present embodiment, the gesture operation on Android and the touch screen will be described as an example. The details are as follows - Set the storage location and gestures as shown in Figure 4. The first step of the solution is to set a storage location and gestures. Set according to the steps in Figure 4: Select a location in the blank space in 1.1 as the storage location, ie 1.2 This position does not need to be accurate to the pixel level. In fact, in order to reduce the user's memory burden, the effective area can be appropriately enlarged at the position selected by the user (when the next time you need to use this position, it is counted in this area) Be effective). Then choose the next step to reach 1.3. In 1.3, a gesture is drawn from the selected storage location as the starting point, and the system recognizes and memorizes (1.4). The system will save this starting point and gestures. The next time you need to enter your password, you will need the storage location and gestures for this step. The password setting interface location reminder is shown in Figure 5. When an application (or website login, etc.) will generate a password, the system will monitor the process. After entering the password point, the system will be on the screen. The storage location with a certain explicit prompt password will store the current password in a certain field in the memory or in a file on the disk (actually the password is stored in the memory or hardware file, but here is given The user's mental model is stored at this location on this interface). It should be noted that the storage point for the user to explicitly prompt the password is not necessary, because the steps in FIG. 4 can set the location and the gesture, so the flow shown in FIG. 5 mainly prompts the user that the password has been System records, the next time you can directly remove the use of "the role. Password input interface Figure 6 shows a typical password input interface, which requires the user to input the password. The password that needs to be entered here actually refers to the password saved in the scheme shown in Figure 5. Enter the password using gestures. As shown in Figure 7, the user first moves the finger to the original password area (that is, the position set by the user in Figure 4 or the password position of the explicit prompt in Figure 5), and then draws a certain point from the area. The gesture (the gesture set by the user in Figure 4), as shown in the middle image. After the gesture is completed, the system first compares the gesture input by the user with the gesture stored in FIG. 4. If it is correct, the password is extracted from the memory or file where the password was originally saved, and is filled in the input box, as shown in the right figure. Show. In this process, if the initial position selected by the user or the gesture drawn does not match any of FIG. 4, an error is considered, and a response operation of inputting a password is not performed. As can be seen from the above embodiments, the above embodiments achieve the following beneficial effects: Compared with the prior art, the prior art, such as a web browser, usually has the function of remembering passwords and saving passwords, but this function does not prevent others. The use of a password by a person when using the current account is actually equivalent to revealing personal information. The above embodiment can effectively avoid this problem and provide security protection for personal information. The location obtained after each password entry can be random, and the information security can be guaranteed to a certain extent. In another embodiment, software is also provided for performing the technical solutions described in the above embodiments and preferred embodiments. In another embodiment, a storage medium is provided, the software being stored, including but not limited to: an optical disk, a floppy disk, a hard disk, a rewritable memory, and the like. Obviously, those skilled in the art should understand that the above modules or steps of the present invention can be implemented by a general-purpose computing device, which can be concentrated on a single computing device or distributed over a network composed of multiple computing devices. Alternatively, they may be implemented by program code executable by the computing device, such that they may be stored in the storage device by the computing device and, in some cases, may be different from the order herein. The steps shown or described are performed, or they are separately fabricated into individual integrated circuit modules, or a plurality of modules or steps are fabricated as a single integrated circuit module. Thus, the invention is not limited to any specific combination of hardware and software. The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention, and various modifications and changes can be made to the present invention.
