Abstract
In some examples, an electronic device includes a touch-based sensor, a proximity sensor, and a processor to in response to determining, based on output from the proximity sensor, that the electronic device is in an enclosed space: determine whether a specified number of multiple touches of the touch-based sensor has been detected by the touch-based sensor, and in response to determining that the specified number of multiple touches of the touch-based sensor has been detected by the touch-based sensor, unlock the electronic device.
