Electronic device
An electronic device includes a display and a controller that controls screen display of the display. When the mode immediately before suspension of screen display of the display is a first mode, the controller displays a security lock screen before resuming screen display of the display, and when the mode immediately before suspension of screen display of the display is a second mode, the controller resumes screen display of the display while selectively causing the security lock screen not to be displayed.
1. An electronic device comprising:
a display configured to display a running screen and a security lock screen; and
a controller configured to, upon resuming display of the running screen on the display after a suspension of displaying the running screen:
determine whether the electronic device was operating in a regular mode or a gesture mode immediately before the suspension of displaying the running screen on the display; and
in a case that the electronic device was operating in the regular mode immediately before the suspension of displaying the running screen on the display, cause the display to display the security lock screen before resuming display of the running screen on the display; and
in a case that the electronic device was operating in the gesture mode immediately before the suspension of displaying the running screen on the display, cause the display to resume displaying the running screen on the display without first displaying the security lock screen on the display, wherein
the regular mode is a mode for operating the electronic device by touching the electronic device, and
the gesture mode is a mode for operating the electronic device without touching the electronic device.
2. The electronic device of claim 1 , further comprising:
a proximity sensor, wherein
the controller enables detection with the proximity sensor of a gesture operated by a user during the gesture mode.
3. The electronic device of claim 2 , further comprising:
a touch screen configured to receive a touch input from a user, wherein
the controller is further configured to cause the touch screen not to detect the touch input during the gesture mode.
4. The electronic device of claim 1 , further comprising:
an acceleration sensor configured to measure a value of acceleration, wherein
if the mode immediately before suspension of displaying the running screen on the display is the gesture mode, the controller is further configured to cause the display to display the security lock screen if the value is equal to or greater than a threshold.
5. An electronic device comprising:
a display configured to display a screen;
a proximity sensor configured to detect a gesture of a user in the proximity thereof; and
at least one processor configured to:
set an operation mode to at least one of a gesture mode for operating the electronic device without touching the electronic device, and a regular mode for operating the electronic device by touching the electronic device;
cause the display to suspend displaying the screen; and
cause the display to resume displaying the screen without first displaying a security lock screen on the display, if displaying the screen is suspended in the gesture mode and the gesture is detected; and
cause the display to display a security lock screen on the display before resuming display of the screen, if displaying the screen is suspended in the regular mode and a touch input is detected.
