Abstract
A user interface of a touch sensitive display for an electronic device and method for managing a state of a user interface of a touch sensitive display between a locked state and an unlocked state are provided. The touch sensitive display is adapted for receiving a user interaction with the touch sensitive display at a location along the display surface including a display element selection and a defined path. The state of the user interface is changed from the locked state to the unlocked state when a state change module detects display elements in respective unlock positions, where a lock state interface module including a path analyzer having an avoid area comparator determines whether a gesture attempting to transition a display element from a lock position to its respective unlock position interacts with an avoid area, and if so returning the display element to its preselection position.
