LG's latest technological transformation, the Knock Code, is a groundbreaking feature that empowers consumers with security and convenience. The Knock Code pattern allows for more than 80,000 possible security combinations and can be entered on a blank screen using two to eight taps. The device screen shows no detectable outline of the pattern and so the code is virtually impossible to duplicate.

For the launch campaign of this feature, LG has tied up with Eccentric Engine. Using personified fingers to show various ways of unlocking, the campaign attributes the various 'Knock Code' styles to the personalities and interests of people.

Post the unveiling of the Knock Code on the latest Android KitKat OS based smartphones - LG L90 and L70 - it will soon be seen as a regular feature on all of LG's future mobile devices. The Knock Code's USP is defined by the fact that it works on the entire display screen and has a consistent recognition rate. Interestingly, the Knock Code also elicits an emotional response from the user as he/she imbibes the tapping habit.

Amit Gujral, Head, Mobile Phones Marketing, LG India, said, “Knock Code with it's almost impossible to crack, invisible phone tap patterns, single-hand use convenience and no gimmicks like dotted patterns, visible numbers, face recognition or finger print scan base security mechanism would become a habit by all LG L90 and L70 users to start with to be followed on all new upcoming LG smartphones.”

“To introduce this exciting Knock Code feature LG India is launching an innovative digital campaign for smartphone users in collaboration with Eccentric Engine. LG's unique story concept brings out five interesting characters, namely, the Footballer, the Kickboxer, the Fashionista, the Unstoppable and the Dancer. The first phase of LG's digital campaign focuses on individual's MyCodeMyStyle and #KnockCode as a teaser, and will be initiated with creative images. In the second phase of the campaign, a '2 videos per day' contest will be launched for the users, wherein there will be a set of two videos created for each of the characters. These videos will then be seeded on Facebook and Twitter, in an effort to position the #KnockCode feature,” Gujral added.  

Ankit Mishra, Head, Strategy, Eccentric Engine, said that Knock Code allows people to express themselves and gives the flexibility of setting a personalized code. “The campaign links your identity and passions to this powerful feature. We stay committed to enhancing the LG's consumer experience by means of superior content and innovative campaigns,” he said.

Knock Code is available on all LG Android phones on Kit Kat OS.
