Method for validating identification information and terminal thereof

Abstract

The invention provides a method for validating identification information and a terminal thereof. The method comprises the following steps: a client of a terminal acquires identification information which needs to be validated and is inputted by a user, and the identification information is used for identifying a terminal; the client generates or obtains a validation code used for validation from a server; through the terminal, the client sends the validation information to the terminal identified by the identification information, wherein the validation information contains the validation code; When the client receives the validation information through the terminal, according to the validation code generated by the client or obtained from the server, the client validates whether the validation code in the validation information is valid or not, if so, validation of identification information is successful. According to the invention, problems of distributing application identification for an application server by an operator and configuring the application identification in information gateway equipment of the operator are avoided. Dependence of the client corresponding to an application on the operator is effectively reduced, and configuration and maintenance cost of the operator are reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present invention relate to communication technologies, and in particular to a method and terminal for verifying identification information. Background technique [0002] With the development of communication technology, more and more application functions are integrated into the terminal, such as Fetion and electronic payment. The application programs corresponding to these application functions need to use the identification information of the terminal (for example: telephone number, email address, etc.) as the basis for operation. Since the client corresponding to the application program cannot directly obtain the identification information of the terminal from the terminal, the user of the terminal needs to input the identification information. After the client obtains the identification information input by the user, it also verifies the identification information through the application server. For example: the application se...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, in the above-mentioned prior art, the operator needs to provide the application server with an interface for sending short messages, so that the application server can be connected with the operator's SMS gateway device; in addition, the operator also needs to assign an application identifier to the application server , and the application identifier needs to be configured in the operator's SMS gateway device, which increases the dependence on the operator, thereby increasing the operator's configuration and maintenance costs
