The idea presented in this sketch is to have the user pose in the shape of letters from the english alphabet infront of their phones camera. The user would aim to spell out their password with their body to unlock their phone. This idea would use machine learning to register pose gestures.
The idea presented in this sketch is to have the user aim their camera at themselves acting out a complicated yoga pose. This app would use machine learning to register pose gestures. This app would be marketed to experienced yogis!
The idea presented in this sketch is to have the user hit a high note. This would be based on a specific frequency/pitch and duration. If the user hits the same note that they had created before then they unlock the phone. This app would be marketed to anyone with musical proficiency, someone potentially with a opera or singing background.
The idea presented in this sketch is inspired by naruto the animated series. The user would reenact hand signs in a specific pattern to unlock their phone. Failure to guess correctly would lock themselves out of the their phone.
The idea presented in this sketch is to have the user solve a side of a rubics cube, not to completion but to a certain level of completion. They would then use their camera to check whether or not the side they show matches the side that they had set in the unlock application settings to be the valid side. Failure to guess correctly would lock themselves out of the their phone.
The idea presented in this sketch is to have the user use the microphone to sing what they view as the best line from a song ever. If they say it correctly into the microphone then their phone will unlock. Failure to guess correctly would lock themselves out of the their phone.
The idea presented in this sketch is a simple fingerprint reader. However my idea is not to use the fingerprint sensor as it is only available in some new smart phones, instead use the camera since it is a feature in every modern smart phone.
The idea presented in this sketch is to use the gyroscrope in a users phone to move a ball threw a maze to the finish line to unlock their phone. To make it secure the app could record the path the user took to get the ball to the exit, if they moved it in the correct path then unlock their phone. Otherwise, lock the user out of the phone!
The idea presented in this sketch is answer a question created by the owner of the phone using the microphone on the smart phone device. Failure to answer correctly would result in the user being locked out of the phone.
The idea presented in this sketch is to have the user user their finger as a metaphorical arrow pointing in one of four directions. Directions would be up, down, left and right. If the user doesnt input the directions in the correct order as the preset password, the user would be locked out of the phone.
We came up with many pose type unlock methods and chose posing letters because it made classification easy. By swiping the screen upward, the unlock process begins. This avoids accidental unlocks. It serves as the homescreen where the user can receive notifications and check the time as they normally can.
We decided we needed a button to record between each pose scan. We decided on a timer that counts down in a loop instead, for user convenience.
With a timer, the user could stay in one spot and enter the whole password. Instead of going back and forth between each letter to press a button.
The user has an x amount of seconds to pose the correct letter. When the timer hits 0, the current pose made by the user is registered.
Incorrect password entry with a try again button. We decided to go with an automatic reset after the password bar turns red instead, because a try again button makes it more like a game. The automatic reset is more alike password entry so it is good for a phone unlock design that uses letters.
We also decided not to go with an input method that gives feedback on every entry. This is less secure than what we changed it to - users inputting the whole password before hitting enter for the password.
Each letter being added in after the timer reaches 0.
We decided 10 seconds is a good enough time for users to pose for each letter scan. Not so long that password entry takes too long and not so so quick that users struggle to pose in time.
Instead of this, we went with the full password entry, then hit enter design.
This was the general idea; to pose the correct sequence of letters, then hit enter to unlock the phone. This is secure from being opened accidentally.
