新华网9月1日电 据美国科技博客Gizmodo报道,你可能还不知道,最新版本的Android系统增加了一个实用功能:将你的联系人信息显示在锁屏上,一旦你遗失手机或平板电脑,这项功能就会派上用场了。你可以通过依次点击选项“设置-安全-其它信息”来对这项功能进行设置。
对于三星TouchWiz界面,你需要选择“锁屏-锁屏软件-机主信息”来完成相同设置。如果你的手机是HTC Sense的界面,那你就不“走运”了,因为制造商已经移除了这项功能。
事实上,你可以选择在锁屏上显示任何你希望别人看到的信息,比如:电子邮箱地址、联系电话、邮寄地址等等。一定要记住,任何拿到你的设备的人都能够看到这些信息,所以尽量不要透露你的家庭住址。
这项功能也可用于提供亲属信息,以防你遇到意外。如果你在某种程度上神志不清了,事故现场的人能够通过你手机上的信息确认你的身份。

The latest versions of Android include a handy feature that you might not know about: the option to display your contact information on the lockscreen, which can be used if you misplace your phone or tablet. You can access the feature from the Settings app by tapping Securityand then Owner info. Tick the box and compose your on-screen message accordingly.
On Samsung"s TouchWiz, you need to choose Lock screen, Lock screen widgets and thenOwner information to get to the same feature. If you"re rocking an HTC Sense-powered handset, then you"re out of luck—the manufacturer has removed the option.
You can in fact choose to display anything you like on the lockscreen—an email address, a contact number, a postal address, and so on. Bear in mind that anyone who comes across your device is going to be able to read whatever you write, so you might not want to reveal where you live.
The same information screen can be used to provide next-of-kin information if you"re involved in an accident. If you"ve incapacitated in some way, then your mobile is going to be one of the key ways for those on the scene to identify who you are.
