Application Protection Interface Intercepts Startup Requests
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current methods for protecting application programs on terminal devices start the protection interface after the application has already begun, potentially leaking information through sounds or other means.
Innovation Solution
Intercepting the request to start an application program and determining if it needs protection, with the protection interface initiated before starting the application if necessary, ensuring that the application only begins after the protection interface is released.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the protection interface is launched after the application program has started, then the user interface can be covered for protection, but information in the application program may leak through sound or other means
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by intercepting the application startup request and launching the protection interface before the application program actually starts running. The system detects the startup attempt, prevents the application from executing, and only launches it after successful password verification. This ensures the protection interface is in place before any potential information leakage can occur.
2Ease of operation
If the application program is started before the protection interface, then the application can run normally, but the protection mechanism cannot prevent information leakage
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary anti-action by implementing a preemptive blocking mechanism that intercepts application startup requests before execution. The system sets up a protection barrier that actively prevents the application from running until authentication is complete. This counter-measure is taken in advance to neutralize the security risk before it can materialize.
3Reliability
If the protection interface covers the application interface, then access is controlled, but the application cannot be accessed without password
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the intermediary principle by introducing a password verification mechanism as a mediator between the user and the application program. The protection interface acts as an intermediate layer that intercepts startup requests, verifies credentials, and only then allows the application to execute. This intermediary control ensures secure access while maintaining usability for authorized users.

AI summary
The present disclosure relates to a method for protecting an application program in a terminal device, and a terminal device thereof. The method includes: intercepting a request for starting an application program; determining whether the application program needs protection; and starting a protection interface before starting the application program, if the application needs protection. According to the present disclosure, the protection interface is launched before starting the application program when the terminal device detects that the application program needs protection, thereby protecting the application program comprehensively and thoroughly.
