The bad part about keeping your Android phone secure — besides the little rough-and-tumble — is have to sacrifice fun , convenient little lockscreen shortcut . A fresh concede Google patent showsa potential solvent , if they ever determine to really use it .
The images middling much verbalise for themselves , but the trick is to have a design unlock with options on the last lymph node that let you start exposed to a specific app . Clever , right ? It has n’t shown up yet , but maybe we ’ll see it in the next big Android rescript . Then again , plenty of patents amount to dead nothing for we , the plebeian end - user . It ’s ( always ) a toss - up .
Granted , pattern lockis the biggest jokeof a “ good ” lockscreen you’re able to get , but it ’s a small better than nothing at least . But let ’s face it : pattern locks are fun , and a little add gadget would only make them cool . [ USPTOviaEngadget ]
