Abstract

This application discloses various unlocking control methods and apparatuses, and various electronic devices. An unlocking control method disclosed herein comprises: in response to an orientation of a to-be-unlocked first control plane of an electronic device as a reference orientation, acquiring second unlocking input information through a second control plane of the electronic device, and an orientation of the second control plane and the orientation of the first control plane being different; according to the second unlocking input information, unlocking the first control plane. This application improves privacy and security of the unlocking control.
