Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0031] In the embodiments of the present invention, words such as "exemplary" or "for example" are used to represent examples, illustrations, or illustrations. Any embodiment or design solution described as "exemplary" or "for example" in the embodiments of the present invention should not be construed as being more preferable or advantageous than other embodiments or design solutions. To be precise, words such as "exemplary" or "for example" are used to present related concepts in a specific manner.

[0032] In this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish the same names, rather than implying the relationship or order between these names.

[0033] In the embodiment of the present invention, the electronic device may be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, an Ultra-Mobile Personal Computer (UMPC), a netbook, or a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), etc.

[0034] See figure 1 , The embodiment of the present invention provides a privacy protection method, the execution subject of the method is an electronic device, and the specific steps of the method are as follows:

[0035] Step 101: Receive the first input;

[0036] Step 102: In response to the first input, turn on the privacy setting mode;

[0037] In the embodiment of the present invention, the user instructs the electronic device to turn on the privacy setting mode through the first input, that is, instructs the electronic device to use the privacy protection method of the embodiment of the present invention.

[0038] Specifically, when at least one input parameter of the first input satisfies a preset condition, the privacy setting mode is turned on, and the input parameter includes at least one of the following: input time, input times, input strength, and input fingerprint.

[0039] The above-mentioned preset conditions may be preset by the electronic device, for example: the input time reaches the preset duration, the input intensity reaches the preset pressure value, etc. The preset conditions may be set by the user himself, for example: fingerprints entered by the user in advance, user Set input time, etc.

[0040] In some embodiments, the input parameters include fingerprint input and input time. For example, the user presses the fingerprint module with his finger, and the electronic device verifies that the current fingerprint is passed in the background and records the time the user has to press the finger. When the preset time ( For example, after 3 seconds), turn on the privacy setting mode.

[0041] In some embodiments, a fingerprint pressing pressure threshold V is set (for example, the pressure value output by the fingerprint module is 10), the user presses the fingerprint module with the finger, and the electronic device background verifies that the current fingerprint is passed, when the pressure value exceeds the previous setting If the current pressure is less than the pressure threshold V after a period of time S (for example, 0.5 seconds), it is determined that a pressing event is triggered. When the number of triggers reaches the preset number N (for example, 3 times), and the current fingerprint is passed, Turn on the privacy setting mode, the specific operation process is: when the user's finger is put into the fingerprint module, after the fingerprint is verified, then press the fingerprint module 3 times with a certain pressure to enter the privacy setting mode.

[0042] Step 103: Display the first interface of the target application;

[0043] In the embodiment of the present invention, after the privacy device mode is turned on, the user can start the target application in a normal way of using the application to display the first interface of the target application.

[0044] Step 104: Receive a second input acting on the target control in the first interface;

[0045] Step 105: In response to the second input, set the target control as a privacy control, and then return to step 104, or perform step 106;

[0046] In the embodiment of the present invention, the user sets the target control as a privacy control by performing a second input on the target control in the first interface, and the second input may be long pressing the target control for a certain period of time (for example, 2 seconds). After the target control is set as the privacy control through the second input, the second input is performed on the target control again to cancel the privacy setting of the target control. Or, after the second input to the target control, two menu items pop up, one is used to set the target control as a privacy control, and the other is used to cancel the setting of the target control as a privacy control.

[0047] It should be noted that after step 105 is executed, step 104 can be returned, that is, step 104 and step 105 are repeatedly executed to set multiple target controls.

[0048] In some implementations, considering that in the process of using the application, various operations of the user are input to the controls in the application interface, so when the privacy device mode is turned on, all controls in the application interface are identified , So that users can specify which controls can be set in the application interface, for example: see figure 2 All the controls are identified through the identification box. It can be understood that the way of identifying the controls can be highlighting, changing the font color, etc. The embodiment of the present invention does not specifically limit the way of identifying the controls.

[0049] In some embodiments, the method of the embodiment of the present invention further includes: receiving a fourth input acting on any control in the first interface; in response to the fourth input, displaying a second interface that matches the any control;

[0050] In the embodiment of the present invention, many applications have multiple interfaces, and different interfaces can be opened by clicking different controls. For example, in the address book interface, clicking a contact control will open the contact details accordingly. Information interface. For this kind of application interface opened by the control, there are also operable controls, so it is also necessary to set privacy settings for the controls in the newly opened interface.

[0051] Specifically, the aforementioned fourth input is an input different from the second input. For example, the second input is a long-pressing of the control for 2 seconds, and the fourth input can be a normal tap (that is, the tapping time is less than 2 seconds), or a double-click tap . In this way, when the user performs the fourth input to the target control, the second interface matching the target control is opened, so that the user can set the controls in the second interface.

[0052] Further, after setting the target control as a privacy control, a mapping relationship between the target application and the privacy control is established, so that when the user uses the target application, the electronic device will find out which controls in the target application are private according to the mapping relationship Control.

[0053] Step 106: When the privacy setting mode is closed and the third input acting on the privacy control is received, identity verification is performed;

[0054] In the embodiment of the present invention, there may be many ways to close the privacy setting mode, such as re-entering the first input or returning to the homepage. The embodiment of the present invention does not specifically limit the way of closing the privacy setting mode.

[0055] The aforementioned third input refers to an input performed by the user while using the control, such as a tap input on the control. When the user wants to use the privacy control, the electronic device verifies the user's identity. The identity verification can be done in multiple ways, such as verifying the user's fingerprint, verifying the user's face, and so on.

[0056] Step 107: If the identity verification is passed, respond to the third input.

[0057] In the embodiment of the present invention, the electronic device responds to the third input only when the user's identity verification is passed, that is, the privacy control can be used only when the identity verification is passed. This can ensure that users who currently use electronic devices are safe and avoid leakage of private information. Optionally, if the authentication fails, the privacy control can be made unclickable, or the privacy control can be grayed out, or the privacy control can not be displayed.

[0058] In the implementation of the present invention, after the electronic device starts the privacy setting mode, the controls in the target application interface can be set as privacy controls, and only controls related to privacy information are protected. In this way, the user needs to verify the privacy controls when using the application. The non-private space can be used without verification, making the privacy protection of electronic devices more detailed.

[0059] See image 3 , The embodiment of the present invention provides another privacy protection method, the execution subject of the method is an electronic device, and the specific steps of the method are as follows:

[0060] Step 301: Receive the first input;

[0061] Step 302: In response to the first input, turn on the privacy setting mode;

[0062] Step 303: Display the first interface of the target application;

[0063] Step 304: Receive a second input acting on the target control in the first interface;

[0064] Step 305: In response to the second input, set the target control as a privacy control, and then return to step 304, or perform step 306;

[0065] Step 306: When the privacy setting mode is turned off and the third input acting on the privacy control is received, identity verification is performed;

[0066] Step 307: If the identity verification is passed, respond to the third input.

[0067] The description of the above steps 301 to 307 can refer to figure 1 The description of steps 101 to 107 in step 101 will not be repeated here.

[0068] Step 308: Display the privacy information matching the privacy control;

[0069] In the embodiment of the present invention, in the case of passing the identity verification, in response to the third input, the privacy information that matches the privacy control is displayed. For example, for an e-mail application, the inbox control is a privacy control, and the inbox control is a privacy control. The private information matched by the control is the received mail.

[0070] Step 309: In the case of detecting the acquisition operation of the private information, determine whether the privacy level of the privacy control reaches a preset level;

[0071] Step 310: When the privacy level of the privacy control reaches a preset level, the user who obtains the operation is authenticated.

[0072] In the embodiment of the present invention, some special circumstances are considered. For example, the owner of the electronic device leaves without returning the interface after viewing the private information. At this time, the private information is still displayed in the electronic device. Obtaining operations such as copying, screenshots, etc. of this private information will lead to the disclosure of private information. Therefore, further protection and processing are required for private information.

[0073] Specifically, after the target control is set as the privacy control in step 305, the privacy level of the privacy control is set, and when the privacy level reaches the preset level, the identity verification of the user performing the acquisition operation is performed.

[0074] The following describes the authentication process of the user who obtains the operation in the case of copying private information and taking screenshots of private information.

[0075] Case 1. The acquisition operation is a copy operation of private information, and the identity verification of the user of the acquisition operation includes the following sub-steps:

[0076] (1) Obtain the identity information of the user who obtained the operation;

[0077] When a copy operation of private information is detected, obtain the identity information of the user who is currently performing the copy operation, for example: obtain the face information of the current user, attach the face information to the clipboard, and combine the copied data with the current face information Binding.

[0078] (2) Verify the identity information of the user who is copying;

[0079] (3) In the case where the authentication of the user's identity information of the obtaining operation is passed, the pasting operation of the private information is allowed.

[0080] In the embodiment of the present invention, the copied private information can be pasted only when the identity information is verified, which effectively prevents other users from stealing private information by copying and pasting.

[0081] Case 2: The acquisition operation is a screenshot operation of the private information, and the identity verification of the user who acquired the operation includes the following sub-steps:

[0082] (1) Obtain the identity information of the user who performed the screenshot operation, and obscure the screenshot;

[0083] When a screenshot operation on private information is detected, the identity information of the user currently performing the screenshot operation is obtained, for example, the facial information of the current user is obtained, and the screenshot is blurred.

[0084] (2) In the case of detecting the browsing operation of the screenshot, verify the identity information of the user who operated the screenshot;

[0085] In the embodiment of the present invention, when a user wants to browse a screenshot of private information, the user's identity information is verified.

[0086] (3) In the case where the identity information of the user performing the screenshot operation is verified, the screenshot is decoded.

[0087] In the embodiment of the present invention, the screenshot can be decoded only when the identity information is verified. Even if the user who fails the identity verification takes a screenshot of the private information, the result is a vague picture, and the private information cannot be obtained, which is effective Prevent other users from stealing private information through screenshots.

[0088] In the implementation of the present invention, the privacy protection of the electronic device is refined to the control level, and the matching privacy information is further protected to prevent other users from obtaining the privacy information through copying or screenshots, and to provide the reliability of the privacy protection of the electronic device. .
