Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the interdisciplinary field of information security and mobile communications, and specifically refers to a method for obtaining and locking the use permissions of various devices such as cameras and microphones in mobile terminals such as mobile phones, reducing the risk of various optical and acoustic acquisition devices being called by backdoor software and stealing data, and more particularly relates to a security protection method for mobile terminals with occupied permissions. Background Art

[0002] With the popularity of smart phones, the importance of user privacy data security protection has become increasingly prominent. Smart phones provide a running environment for various APPs, and the calls to various hardware modules and core data require user confirmation and authorization. However, the above operating mechanism has important risks, which are mainly reflected in three aspects: First, when various APPs are running and installed, users will need to confirm the permissions. Given the large number of detailed terms, users usually click to agree directly and unconsciously authorize the access permissions of hardware modules and core data; second, when some APPs are running and installed, they forcibly require the use permissions of various devices such as cameras and microphones on the condition that "the software cannot run normally" (otherwise, the installation will fail), and users usually do not conduct a reasonable analysis of whether the APP really needs to obtain so many permissions; third, a small number of APPs have a background operation mechanism, that is, various hardware devices such as cameras and microphones are started without the user's knowledge, and user privacy data is collected and sent directly to the APP maintenance unit.

[0003] For high-security event venues, cell phone signal blockers and other means are usually used to block the remote control and signal transmission of mobile phones, or people entering are directly required to lock their phones in shielding cabinets. Once a mobile phone is brought into a high-security event venue by mistake, some uncertified apps may activate hardware devices such as cameras and microphones, record or videotape without the user's knowledge, obtain confidential meeting content and cause serious consequences. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of the above defects, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is how to prevent various APPs from starting the camera and microphone in the background, collecting image and audio information and obtaining user privacy data, while not affecting other functions such as making calls and receiving messages.

[0005] In order to technically circumvent the above-mentioned problems and further prevent lawless persons from stealing privacy data for profit through remote control of mobile phones and the like, the present invention develops an APP for smart phones. The APP has a single function and only accesses and occupies various hardware devices such as cameras and microphones with the highest authority when started, preventing various APPs from starting cameras and microphones in the background, collecting images and audio information and obtaining user privacy data, while not affecting other functions such as making calls and receiving messages.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned effects, the mobile terminal security protection method for permission occupation provided by the present invention realizes functions through APP, and is characterized by including: APP startup and permission list are directly specified by the user; when the APP is started, the APP accesses and occupies the camera, microphone and various hardware devices with the highest authority, and all other APPs cannot turn on the camera and microphone at this time and cannot obtain image and audio information. The forensic system is retained in the APP, and the access frequency of other APPs to the camera and microphone access permissions during the period of occupying permissions is counted in real time to form a privacy data acquisition early warning list.

[0007] Preferably, the above method specifically comprises the following steps:

[0008] S101, permission call, compile a special APP, when the APP is started, call and occupy the camera and microphone with the highest permission, all other APPs cannot open the camera and microphone at this time, and cannot obtain image and audio information;

[0009] S102. Monitoring alarm, retaining the evidence collection system in the APP, real-time statistics on the frequency of other APPs' access to the camera and microphone during the period of occupying permissions, forming a privacy data acquisition warning list, and providing important data basis for remote illegal privacy acquisition.

[0010] Preferably, the above APP obtains the root authority of the mobile phone, and the camera and microphone are occupied at the highest level. Once the APP is started, the camera and microphone will always be in a closed state and the APP will occupy the authority.

[0011] Preferably, during the operation of the above-mentioned APP, if other APPs repeatedly retrieve camera and microphone data, the log data of other APPs' application for access to the camera and microphone are recorded in real time, and the log data is directly fed back to the user after the APP is closed by the user.

[0012] A method for protecting mobile terminal security from permission occupation is implemented through an APP, specifically including:

[0013] S201, when the user enters a specific space, start the APP;

[0014] S202, the APP uses the highest authority to access and occupy the camera and microphone. All other APPs cannot open the camera and microphone and cannot obtain image and audio information at this time;

[0015] S203. During the operation of the APP, no restrictions are imposed on the mobile phone's Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, voice communication, and SMS sending and receiving functions;

[0016] S204. During the running of the APP, if other APPs repeatedly access the camera and microphone data, the log data of other APPs' application for access to the camera and microphone will be recorded in real time, and the log data will be directly fed back to the user after the APP is closed by the user.

[0017] Preferably, the specific space described in S201 above includes a high-security activity venue or a private space.

[0018] Preferably, the above APP startup and permission list are directly specified by the user.

[0019] Preferably, the management authority for the operation and maintenance of the above-mentioned APP is directly scheduled by the user, and other software does not have the authority to modify the APP.

[0020] Preferably, the above APP is set by an administrator of a specific place or environment, and when the mobile phone enters the environment, the APP is automatically awakened.

[0021] The present invention provides a computer-readable storage medium on which a computer program is stored. When the program is executed by a processor, the above method is implemented.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the present invention achieves the following technical effects:

[0023] Firstly, the present invention proposes a mobile terminal security protection method based on permission occupation, which can prevent illegal persons from arbitrarily turning on the camera and microphone, collecting image and audio data and leaking user privacy by remotely controlling the APP by occupying the camera and microphone usage permissions;

[0024] Secondly, the method proposed in the present invention has a wide range of applications and is easy to operate. It can be promoted as a "conference communication" product and applied to various confidential meetings and daily life, realizing on-demand protection of privacy data without affecting other functions (flight mode does not meet this condition);

[0025] Finally, the present invention can also provide an effective means of collecting evidence for the supervision of illegal background behaviors of APPs, and provide an important solution for purifying the smart phone APP market. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

During the operation of the APP, if other APPs repeatedly access the camera and microphone data, the log data of other APPs' application for access to the camera and microphone will be recorded in real time, and the log data will be directly fed back to the user after the APP is closed by the user.

[0045] As another solution of the present invention, this embodiment also provides a method for protecting the security of a mobile terminal with occupied permissions, which is implemented by installing a specific APP in a mobile phone. The APP can be awakened by a third party with higher permissions. The implementation steps are:

[0046] 1. When a mobile phone with a specific APP enters a specific space, the third party wakes up and starts the APP; for example, in a high-security event venue, the third party is woken up by the software or system set up in the venue.

[0047] 2. The APP uses the highest authority to access and occupy various hardware devices such as the camera and microphone. At this time, other APPs will not be able to turn on the camera and microphone, and there is no possibility of obtaining image and audio information.

[0048] 3. During the operation of the APP, it does not restrict other functions of the smartphone, such as WiFi, Bluetooth, voice communication, SMS sending and receiving, etc.

[0049] 4. During the operation of the APP, if other APPs repeatedly access the camera and microphone data, the log data of other APPs' application for access to the camera and microphone will be recorded in real time, and the log data will be directly fed back to the user after the APP is closed by the user.
