Recognizing the Swiping pattern for screen lock n unlock ios

I want to create a swiping pattern for lock and unlock the screen(swiping without taking off the finger). How can I do that with UISwipeGestureRecognizer. I want to save it and match it when I again try to login. How can I save that? As an image or something else?. Please do help me with this. Thank you.

What do you mean when you talk about "pattern", and what exactly do you want to save?

You should use a UIPanGestureRecognizer because a swipe is just a quick flip gesture, wheras a pan is a controlled movement for which you can track the whole distance.

This is how I handle it, moving from right to left (opposite direction of the lock screen):

- (IBAction)slide:(UIPanGestureRecognizer *)gesture
{
    CGPoint translate = [gesture translationInView:gesture.view];
    translate.y = 0.0; // Just doing horizontal panning

    if (gesture.state == UIGestureRecognizerStateChanged)
    {
        // Sliding left only
        if (translate.x < 0.0)
        {
            self.slideLane.frame = [self frameForSliderLabelWithTranslate:translate];
        }
    }
    else if ([gesture stoppedPanning])
    {
        if (translate.x < 0.0 && translate.x < -(gesture.view.frame.size.width / 2.5))
        {
            // Panned enough distance to unlock
        }
        else
        {
            // Movement was too short, put it back again
            NSTimeInterval actualDuration = [self animationDuration:0.25 forWidth:gesture.view.frame.size.width withTranslation:(-translate.x)];

            [UIView animateWithDuration:actualDuration delay:0.0 options:UIViewAnimationOptionCurveEaseInOut animations:^{
                self.slideLane.frame = [self frameForSliderLabelWithTranslate:CGPointZero];
            } completion:^(BOOL finished) {

            }];
        }
    }
}

- (CGRect)frameForSliderLabelWithTranslate:(CGPoint)translate
{
    return CGRectMake(translate.x, self.slideLane.frame.origin.y, self.slideLane.bounds.size.width, self.slideLane.bounds.size.height);
}

Because I don't care why a gesture has stopped, I added this category to make the else-if-clause more readable. It's optional, though:

@implementation UIPanGestureRecognizer (Stopped)
- (BOOL)stoppedPanning
{
    return (   self.state == UIGestureRecognizerStateCancelled
            || self.state == UIGestureRecognizerStateEnded
            || self.state == UIGestureRecognizerStateFailed);
}
@end

Ideally, you'd take into account the velocity of the movement, because a quick flick into the right direction could suffice. In my case, I wanted the user to move the block, no matter how fast.
