微軟取得智慧型手機鎖定狀態中直接開啟相機功能的專利權

根據WMPOWERUSER的消息指出,USPTO(美國專利局)正式通過微軟聲請行動裝置鎖定狀態中直接開啟相機的專利權

這項功能早在前年(2010年9月)加入了Windows Phone,今天終於獲得這項專利, 之後iOS5(2011年10月)也加入類似的功能

專利概述:
"Apparatus and methods are disclosed for allowing smart phone users to "capture the moment" by allowing easy access to a camera application when a mobile device is in an above-lock (or locked) mode, while also preventing unauthorized access to other smart phone functionality. According to one embodiment of the disclosed technology, a method of operating a mobile device having an above-lock state and a below-lock state comprises receiving input data requesting invocation of an camera application when the mobile device is in the above-lock state and invoking the requested camera application on the device, where one or more functions of the requested application are unavailable as a result of the mobile device being in the above-lock state."

"此項技術是讓智慧型手機用戶，當行動裝置在鎖定模式時,方便地訪問一個攝影應用程序，“捕捉瞬間"，同時也防止未經授權訪問其他智慧型手機功能.根據上述技術之具體敘述,此方法是讓一個包含解鎖,未解鎖的行動裝置能因為鎖定狀態中,一個或多個功能被限制而導致無法直接開啟攝像程式,直接接收輸入開啟攝像程式的指令需求"
