Method for validating identification information and terminal thereof

Abstract

Provided are a method and terminal for verifying identification information. The method for verifying identification information includes: a client on a terminal acquiring identification information requiring verification inputted by a user of the terminal, wherein the identification information is used for identifying a terminal; the client generating or acquiring from a server a verification code for verification; the client sending verification information containing a verification code to the terminal identified by the identification information via the terminal; when the client receives the verification information via the terminal, verifying whether the verification code in the verification information is legitimate according to the verification code generated by the client or acquired from the server, and if it is legitimate, then the verification of the identification information succeeds. The embodiments in the present invention can avoid the problem of the operator allocating application identification to the application server and configuring the same in the operator's information gateway device, effectively reducing the configuration and maintenance costs of the operator as well as the dependence of the client corresponding to the application program on the operator.

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
