Embodiment 1

[0027] see figure 1 , which shows a flowchart of a method for prompting a user provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The method, including:

[0028] 101: Monitor the event of invoking the collection device in the terminal;

[0029] 102: Output prompt information when the event is detected.

[0030] The embodiment of the present invention monitors the event of invoking the collection device, and outputs prompt information when the event of invoking the collection device is detected, to remind the user that the collection device has started to work, preventing malicious applications from calling the collection without the user's knowledge The device causes the occurrence of vicious incidents that leak user privacy, improving user security.

Embodiment 2

[0032] see figure 2 , which shows a flowchart of a method for prompting a user provided by an embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that, the embodiment of the present invention is described by taking the method of prompting the user by turning on the prompt device after calling the collection device in the Android operating system as an example.

[0033] Wherein, the method flow includes:

[0034] 201: Monitor the event of invoking the collection device in the terminal.

[0035] Wherein, in the Android operating system, when the application or the operating system invokes a collection device such as a camera or a microphone to collect images or sounds, the underlying performance of the Android operating system is to operate on files corresponding to the collection device.

[0036] For example: in the file path of the system: / dev / video0 (the corresponding file name may be different in different devices, and the file name is not limited here). The file is ...

Embodiment 3

[0057] see image 3 , which shows a schematic structural diagram of a device for prompting a user provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The unit includes:

[0058] A monitoring module 301, configured to monitor an event that invokes the collection device in the terminal;

[0059] The output module 302 is configured to output prompt information when the event is detected.

[0060] As an implementation manner, the monitoring module 301 can be used for:

[0061] An event in which a file corresponding to the acquisition device is read in the operating system of the terminal is monitored.

Abstract

The invention discloses a method, a device and a terminal for prompting a user, and belongs to the technical field of computers. The method comprises the steps of monitoring the event of calling a collecting device in the terminal; when the event is monitored, outputting a prompt message. According to the method, the event of calling the collecting device is monitored; when the event of calling the collecting device is monitored, the prompt message is output to prompt the user that the collecting device already starts to work; the condition that when the user is ignorant, malicious software calls the collecting device to cause a vicious accident of the privacy leak of the user is prevented, and the safety of the user is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of computer technology, in particular to a method, device and terminal for prompting users. Background technique [0002] With the development of mobile terminal technology, more and more acquisition devices such as cameras and microphones are used in mobile terminals. [0003] For example: the user can use the camera to take pictures of various beauties in life and record the bits and pieces of life through the traditional method; for the microphone, the sound can be recorded through the traditional method. With the development of application technology, the images collected by the camera can already be used in real-scene games, and the function of measuring heart rate through the images collected by the camera has also been realized; for the microphone, it has also been used in games, enriching people's lives. [0004] At present, malicious applications are also accompanied by the development of application...
