Abstract

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a display configured to display information, an input device configured to receive a user input, an image sensor, a processor electrically connected with the display, the input device, and the image sensor, and a non-transitory computer readable storage medium electrically connected with the processor that stores instructions that cause the processor to control the display to display first-level information as a locking mode is partially released when partial authentication passes based on bio-information acquired through the image sensor in a state in which the electronic device is in the locking mode, and control the display to display second-level information having a security level higher than a security level of the first-level information as the locking mode is fully released when full authentication passes based on a user input made through the input device.

Claims (28)

1. An electronic device comprising:

a touch screen display configured to display information;

an image sensor;

a processor electrically connected with the touch screen display and the image sensor; and

a memory electrically connected with the processor,

wherein the memory stores instructions that, when executed by the electronic device, cause the processor to:

control the touch screen display to display a first user interface including a first notification indicating that a new message is received in a locked mode,

perform a non-contact partial authentication using bio-information acquired through the image sensor in the locked mode,

control the display to display first-level information of the new message by changing the first notification to the first-level information while maintaining the first user interface as the locked mode is partially released when the non-contact partial authentication passes, the first-level information includes partial content of the new message,

perform a full authentication using a touch input acquired through the touch screen display in the locked mode, and

control the display to display second-level information having a security level higher than a security level of the first-level information as the locked mode is fully released when the full authentication passes, the second-level information includes full content of the new message.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the second-level information further includes:

an additional amount of information, additional personal information, additional detailed information, or information requiring stronger access authority, as compared with the first-level information; and

at least a portion of the first-level information.

3. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the partial authentication is based on face information or iris information of a user acquired through the image sensor.

4. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the full authentication is based on a user input of a pattern drawn on the touch screen display for unlocking, a user input of a password input with the touch screen display for unlocking, or a user input of a fingerprint for fingerprint recognition on the touch screen display.

5. A method for displaying information of an electronic device, the method comprising:

displaying a locked mode screen representing that the electronic device is in a locked mode;

displaying a first notification on the locked mode screen, the first notification indicating that a new message is received in the locked mode;

performing non-contact partial authentication based on bio-information acquired as a non-touch user input through an image sensor in the locking mode;

displaying first-level information of the new message by changing the first notification to the first-level information while displaying the locked mode screen as the locked mode is partially released, when the non-contact partial authentication passes, the first-level information includes partial content of the new message;

performing full authentication based on a touch input acquired through a touch screen display, in a state in which the locked mode is partially released; and

displaying second-level information having a security level higher than a security level of the first-level information as the locked mode is fully released, when the full authentication passes, the second-level information includes full content of the new message.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the second-level information further includes:

an additional amount of information, additional personal information, additional detailed information, or information requiring stronger access authority, as compared with the first-level information; and

at least a portion of the first-level information.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the partial authentication is based on face information or iris information of a user, which is acquired through the image sensor.

8. The method of claim 5 , wherein the full authentication is based on a user input of a pattern drawn on the touch screen display for unlocking, a user input of a password input on the touch screen display for unlocking, or a user input of a fingerprint on the touch screen display for fingerprint recognition.
