This patent is about the feature of unlocking a device by performing gestures on an unlock image. The primary effect of this is the slide to unlock patent where Apple patented the ability to slide your finger along the bottom of the screen to unlock your phone and grant access to all of its capabilities. All of the diagrams detail extensively how the apparatus works. From left to right, you would slide your finger to unlock the phone. But the screen will notice your touch and thus correlate it correctly with the unlocking motion. Each device is then connected to another until you reach the computing power where it takes in all the information and allows the user to unlock their phone via touch. There are far too detailed explanations of each drawing which takes up most of the patent space - drawings and explanation of the drawing. Claim #1 gets into the method of unlocking a hand held electronic device. This encompasses an example of how one needs continuous contact with the device to slide their finger completely across the screen in order to successfully unlock the device.
