Abstract
A screen unlocking method applied to an electronic device including a touch screen and storing graphic patterns and a plurality of text data is provided. Each of the graphic patterns corresponds to one piece of the text data. Display an unlocking mark on the touch screen locked. Detect a movement trace of an object touching the touch screen. When the object touches the unlocking mark, search for the graphic pattern most similar to the movement trace. Enable an interface for displaying at least the text data corresponding to the graphic pattern most similar to the movement trace. Selectively transmit an image of at least one part of the interface to a social networking website or a social application that is random or preset, and unlock the touch screen after a preset condition is satisfied.
