Abstract
A dynamic unlocking method and an electronic apparatus using the same method are proposed. The method includes the following steps: recording an unlocking password combination including at least one unlocking password, where each unlocking password is characterized by a touch operation initiating from a specific icon and sliding toward a specific direction along a specific path by a specific distance; displaying an unlocking screen including a plurality of predetermined icons, where the predetermined icons are randomly arranged on the specific path; receiving at least one unlocking input performed on the predetermined icons; when the at least one received unlocking input completely matches the unlocking password combination, unlocking the electronic apparatus.
