Proximity unlock and lock operations for electronic devices

The invention relates to proximity unlock and lock operations for electronic devices. The described embodiments perform a proximity unlock operation. For the proximity unlock operation, a first electronic device in a locked operating state detects that an anthorized second electronic device is in proximity to the first electronic device. Based on detecting the authorized second electronic device in proximity to the first electronic device, the first electronic device transitions from a locked operating state to an unlocked operating state. In the described embodiments, the transition to the unlocked operating state occurs without the user performing a manual authentication step that is performed in existing electronic devices to cause the transition from the locked operating state to the unlocked operating state. 本发明涉及电子设备的接近解锁和锁定操作。本发明所描述的实施例执行接近解锁操作。对于接近解锁操作，处于锁定操作状态的第一电子设备检测到被授权的第二电子设备接近第一电子设备。基于检测到被授权的第二电子设备接近第一电子设备，该第一电子设备从锁定操作状态转变到解锁操作状态。在所述实施例中，转变到解锁操作状态是在无需用户执行在现有电子设备中所执行的手动认证步骤来使得从锁定操作状态转变到解锁操作状态的情况下
