Abstract

Implementations of data security technologies are disclosed. In an implementation, a plurality of feature points of a user-selected image are determined. A first plurality of interactive operations performed on at least a portion of the plurality of feature points by a user are detected during lock screen passcode set up of a mobile computing device. The first plurality of interactive operations are stored. The user-selected image is displayed on a lock screen when the mobile computing device is in a locked state. A second plurality of interactive operations on a touchscreen of the mobile computing device are detected when the mobile computing device is in the locked state, and the mobile computing device is unlocked if the second plurality of interactive operations match the first plurality of interactive operations.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
receiving an image uploaded by a user;
determining one or more feature areas of the image using one or more image feature detection algorithms, wherein each of the one or more image feature detection algorithms is configured to detect a feature area of the image based on a shape of the feature area;
determining a plurality of feature points of the image from at least one of the one or more feature areas;
obtaining, based on the plurality of feature points of the image, a predetermined number of feature points for setting up a lock screen passcode of a mobile computing device, wherein obtaining the predetermined number of feature points comprises:
determining whether the plurality of feature points exceed the predetermined number of feature points;
in response to determining that the plurality of feature points exceeds the predetermined number of feature points, obtaining the predetermined number of feature points by removing one or more feature points from the plurality of feature points;
and in response to determining that the plurality of feature points is less than the predetermined number of feature points, obtaining the predetermined number of feature points by adding one or more feature points to the plurality of feature points;
detecting a first plurality of interactive operations performed on the predetermined number of feature points by a user during lock screen passcode set up of the mobile computing device, wherein the first plurality of interactive operations comprise a sliding force for a sliding operation from a first feature point to a second feature point among the plurality of feature points, and wherein the sliding force corresponds to one of a plurality of levels of predetermined sliding forces;
storing the first plurality of interactive operations as the lock screen passcode;
displaying the image on a lock screen when the mobile computing device is in a locked state;
detecting a second plurality of interactive operations on a touchscreen of the mobile computing device when the mobile computing device is in the locked state; and
unlocking the mobile computing device when the second plurality of interactive operations match the first plurality of interactive operations, wherein the second plurality of interactive operations match the first plurality of interactive operations when the second plurality of interactive operations are performed on at least a portion of the plurality of feature points with same orders and with same level of sliding force.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving the image from a camera of the mobile computing device before determining the plurality of feature points.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of feature points of the image are determined by at least one of the mobile computing device or one or more selections made by the user.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the first plurality of interactive operations and the second plurality of interactive operations are at least one of a plurality of strokes that connect at least a portion of the plurality of feature points to form a pattern or a plurality of tapping operations on at least a portion of the plurality of feature points.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein displaying the image on the lock screen further comprises displaying the plurality of the feature points superimposed on the image.

6. A non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing one or more instructions executable by a computer system to perform operations comprising:
receiving an image uploaded by a user;
determining one or more feature areas of the image using one or more image feature detection algorithms, wherein each of the one or more image feature detection algorithms is configured to detect a feature area of the image based on a shape of the feature area;
determining a plurality of feature points of the image from at least one of the one or more feature areas;
obtaining, based on the plurality of feature points of the image, a predetermined number of feature points for setting up a lock screen passcode of a mobile computing device, wherein obtaining the predetermined number of feature points comprises:
determining whether the plurality of feature points exceed the predetermined number of feature points;
in response to determining that the plurality of feature points exceeds the predetermined number of feature points, obtaining the predetermined number of feature points by removing one or more feature points from the plurality of feature points; and
in response to determining that the plurality of feature points is less than the predetermined number of feature points, obtaining the predetermined number of feature points by adding one or more feature points to the plurality of feature points;
detecting a first plurality of interactive operations performed on the predetermined number of feature points by a user during lock screen passcode set up of the mobile computing device, wherein the first plurality of interactive operations comprise a sliding force for a sliding operation from a first feature point to a second feature point among the plurality of feature points, and wherein the sliding force corresponds to one of a plurality of levels of predetermined sliding forces;
storing the first plurality of interactive operations as the lock screen passcode;
displaying the image on a lock screen when the mobile computing device is in a locked state;
detecting a second plurality of interactive operations on a touchscreen of the mobile computing device when the mobile computing device is in the locked state; and
unlocking the mobile computing device when the second plurality of interactive operations match the first plurality of interactive operations, wherein the second plurality of interactive operations match the first plurality of interactive operations when the second plurality of interactive operations are performed on at least a portion of the plurality of feature points with same orders and with same level of sliding force.

7. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 6 , further comprising receiving the image from a camera of the mobile computing device before determining the plurality of feature points.

8. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 6 , wherein the plurality of feature points of the image are determined by at least one of the mobile computing device or one or more selections made by the user.

9. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 6 , wherein the first plurality of interactive operations and the second plurality of interactive operations are at least one of a plurality of strokes that connect at least a portion of the plurality of feature points to form a pattern or a plurality of tapping operations on at least a portion of the plurality of feature points.

10. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 6 , wherein displaying the image on the lock screen further comprises displaying the plurality of feature points superimposed on the image.

11. A computer-implemented system, comprising: one or more computers; and one or more computer memory devices interoperably coupled with the one or more computers and having tangible, non-transitory, machine-readable media storing one or more instructions that, when executed by the one or more computers, perform one or more operations comprising:
receiving an image uploaded by a user;
determining one or more feature areas of the image using one or more image feature detection algorithms, wherein each of the one or more image
