AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Current mobile phones cannot effectively isolate and manage SMS services from multiple SIM cards, resulting in users' inability to meet their personalized needs in different scenarios and posing a risk of privacy data leakage.

Method used

By introducing a subsystem-SIM card association mechanism into electronic devices, isolated management of SIM cards is achieved. SMS information is hidden when the subsystem is not activated, and relevant information is only displayed in the subsystem to prevent privacy leaks. The security of SMS records is ensured through interface design and storage location isolation.

Benefits of technology

It enables isolated management of SIM cards in different scenarios, protecting user privacy, simplifying SMS management, and improving user experience and security.

Abstract

The present application relates to the technical field of terminals. Provided are an information hiding method and an electronic device. The electronic device comprises a main space, a parallel space and a plurality of SIM cards. After the parallel space is bound to a first SIM card among the plurality of SIM cards, during the running of the main space in the foreground, the electronic device receives a short message from the first SIM card. When it is determined that the parallel space is not activated and an information hiding function is disabled, which indicates that when the parallel space is not activated, a user expects the electronic device to hide a short message associated with a subsystem, the electronic device may not display information of the number of a sender of the short message, thereby avoiding leakage of the information. Subsequently, the user can view the short message by means of the parallel space, thereby avoiding the loss of the short message, and the user cannot directly view the short message in a main system, thus protecting the privacy of the user.
