Terminal Priority Control for Multi-Device Account Security
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
When multiple mobile terminals share the same account, all devices logged into that account receive and start application programs for incoming information, leading to leakage of private user information, compromising security and privacy.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that determine the priority of each terminal based on network-side provided priority information, where only the terminal with the highest priority starts the application program, ensuring that sensitive information is processed and secured within the highest-priority device.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If all mobile terminals logged on with the same account receive and start application programs for incoming information, then the service coverage and accessibility are improved, but the information security and user privacy are compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by assigning different priority levels to different terminals logged on with the same account. Each terminal is given a specific priority attribute, and only the terminal with the highest priority is allowed to start application programs for incoming information. This resolves the contradiction by allowing multiple terminals to be logged on (maintaining service coverage) while ensuring that only the highest-priority terminal processes sensitive information (maintaining information security).
2Ease of operation
If multiple terminals can log on with the same account simultaneously, then the ease of operation and user convenience are improved, but the risk of information leakage increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the parameter of terminal priority to resolve the contradiction. By introducing a priority parameter and dynamically determining which terminal has the highest priority (e.g., based on terminal type, user settings, or network conditions), the system allows multiple terminals to log on conveniently while ensuring that only the highest-priority terminal starts application programs, thus preventing information leakage to lower-priority terminals.
3Speed
If all logged-on terminals start application programs for received information, then the response speed and service availability are improved, but the privacy protection and security control are weakened
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-assigning priority levels to different terminals before information arrives. When information is received, the system quickly determines which terminal has the highest priority and directs the application program to start only on that terminal. This preliminary prioritization enables fast response (no need to evaluate all terminals at runtime) while protecting privacy by ensuring only the authorized terminal processes the information.

AI summary
The embodiment of the present invention provides a method for processing information and method for sending priority information and apparatus, used for solving the existing problem that privacy and security of private information of a user using the account cannot be ensured when the same account is logged on in multiple mobile terminals. The method for processing information includes: after receiving information sent to a logged-on account, according to the priority information corresponding to the account sent by a network side device, a terminal determining whether the priority thereof is the highest; the priority information comprises the identifiers and priorities of various terminals which log on the account; if yes, starting up a corresponding application program according to the received information; and if no, not starting up the application program corresponding to the received information. The method for sending priority information includes: a network side device determining various terminals which have already logged on the same account; for various terminals logging on the same account, the network side device sending the priority information of the account to various terminals.
