Google patents launching specific applications via unlock pattern

A patent approved only recently, but deposited by Google last year, could lead to future versions of Android to introduce a method of release similar to that commonly use for our lockscreen, based on the execution of a screen unlock pattern, however applied to specific applications .

An example would be home banking applications, but also the call log, messages or whatever else needs to be managed with greater security and privacy, away from prying eyes. A simple concept that, for the moment, has not been applied in practice with the current distribution Android 4.3 . It is not impossible that Bigg may decide to do it with the next release of the operating system Android.
