One using touch screen interface One using other device sensors
Constraints:
Apple’ s “slide to unlock” patent Avoid copying Windows/Android designs too
Methodology

Define:
What does it mean to “unlock” a phone?
Materials
Nokia Lumia 520 or your own device Standard sensors:
ambient light accelerometer proximity camera (back) microphone

Interpretation
What actually constitutes infringement? Let’ s look at some examples…
Bottom Line
Infringement is not black or white:
In the real world, companies pay huge $$$ for lawyers to duke it out I am not a patent lawyer, so I will not be a stickler about details
