Zusammenfassung:A method and apparatus for unlocking an electronic device includes displaying (110) a lockscreen with an initial image in an initial region on a touch screen of the electronic device when it is in a locked state (100). Responsive to detecting (120) a first touch contact in the initial region, the electronic device displays (130) an intermediate image in a secondary region of the touch screen. Responsive to detecting (140) a second touch contact in the secondary region, the electronic device displays (150) an action image in a tertiary region of the touch screen. Responsive to detecting (160) a third touch contact in the tertiary region, the electronic device executes (180) an action associated with the action image and transitions the electronic device to an unlocked state (190).
