Fig. 1 shows a typical scenario of the present application, where a first user holds a first terminal device, and a social application is installed in the first terminal device, where the social application includes various applications that can perform online social activities, and the first terminal device and a network device corresponding to the social application establish a communication connection in a wired or wireless manner. The method comprises the steps that a first user obtains a social interaction interface (such as a chat window) of a second user in the social interaction application after opening the social interaction application, and in response to the triggering operation of the first user on a camera function in the social interaction window, a first terminal device presents an authentication window, and the first user inputs authentication information in the authentication window. Based on the communication connection, the network device receives the verification information, and queries in a mapping list of an application function and default verification information according to the camera function to obtain default verification information of the camera function, if the default verification information is consistent with the verification information received by the network device, the network device sends an enabling instruction of the camera function to a first terminal device, based on the instruction, the first user can shoot an image by using the camera function and send the image to a second user, wherein the first terminal device includes but is not limited to a mobile phone, a tablet, a notebook computer and other computing devices (with a touch screen).

Fig. 2 shows a method for using application functionality in a social application according to an embodiment of the present application, the method comprising step S101 and step S102.

Specifically, in step S101, the first terminal device obtains a target social object in a social application of the first terminal device in response to a trigger operation of the first user in the social application. For example, in response to a selection operation of a first user on a target social object in one or more social objects in a social application, a first terminal device determines the target social object selected by the first user, wherein the target social object comprises at least one of a group session or a single chat session (e.g., a friend session or a non-friend session); the first user comprises other users except the user corresponding to the login account currently logging in the social application, and can also comprise other users except the owner of the first terminal equipment; the subsequently related second users comprise users corresponding to the login account currently logged in the social application, and also comprise owners of the first terminal equipment; for example, after the owner of the first terminal device opens the social application, the owner clicks the target social object to perform social interaction with the user corresponding to the target social object, and the first terminal device presents any social function (for example, location sharing) that can be used for the owner to perform selection operation in the session interface to perform social interaction.

In some embodiments, the first terminal device first detects whether the first user has the usage right of the social application. For example, the second user sets the usage right of the social application in the first terminal device, for example, authentication information for entering the application is enabled in a system setting interface of the first terminal device or an application setting interface of the social application (for example, unlocking by a password, a face, a gesture, or the like is required), after the first user obtains the usage right of the social application through the authentication information, or some social applications need to log in for use, the first user obtains the usage right of the social application after logging in, and in response to a trigger operation of the first user in the social application of the first terminal device, the first terminal device may obtain a target social object in the social application. For example, on the basis that the first user obtains the enabling authority of the social application (for example, the first terminal device and the first user perform account login or unlock the social application for use), the first user may perform subsequent trigger operation of the application function.

In step S102, a first terminal device, in response to an operation of obtaining a target function related to the target social object by the first user, detects whether the first user meets a verification information condition of the target function, and if yes, executes a target operation corresponding to the target function; otherwise, ignoring the obtaining operation, wherein the target function comprises a function for the first user to perform social interaction with the user in the target social object. In some embodiments, in step S102, the first terminal device first detects whether the first user can directly use the target function, and in response to the operation of the first user to obtain the target function related to the target social object, determines whether the target function belongs to a list of functions to be verified; if yes, detecting whether the first user meets the verification information condition of the target function, and if yes, executing target operation corresponding to the target function; otherwise, the fetch operation is ignored. In some embodiments, the method further includes step S104 (not shown), and in step S104, if the target function does not belong to the to-be-verified function list, the first terminal device executes a target operation corresponding to the target function. For example, the first terminal device may determine, by wire, whether the target function belongs to a to-be-verified function list, if the target function does not belong to the to-be-verified function list, the first user may directly use the target function, and if the target function belongs to the to-be-verified function list, the first terminal device may detect, according to subsequent verification information of the user, whether the first user satisfies a verification information condition of the target function, so that the usage right of the target function may be determined more efficiently. In some embodiments, the first terminal device may locally determine whether the target function belongs to the to-be-verified function list, for example, the first terminal device locally stores the to-be-verified function list, and performs matching query on the target function in the to-be-verified function list by the first terminal device, and if the query result is not null, the first terminal device determines that the target function belongs to the to-be-verified function list, and continues to perform subsequent detection. In some embodiments, the determining whether the target function belongs to a list of functions to be verified includes: sending the target function to network equipment corresponding to the social application; receiving a matching result sent by the network equipment after the target function is matched in a function list to be verified; if the matching result is not null, judging that the target function belongs to the list of functions to be verified; otherwise, judging that the target function does not belong to the list of functions to be verified. For example, in response to a triggering operation of a first user on the target function, the first terminal device sends the target function to the network device, the network device performs a matching query on the target function in a to-be-verified function list, and if the matching result is null, the network device determines that the target function does not need to be verified and can be directly enabled by the first user, wherein all application functions stored in the to-be-verified function list need to be verified.

In some embodiments, the detecting whether the first user satisfies the verification information condition of the target function if the first user belongs to the target function includes: if the target function belongs to the social application, sending a verification request about the target function to network equipment corresponding to the social application, wherein the verification request comprises verification information input by the first user; receiving authentication feedback information returned by the network equipment in response to the authentication request; if the verification feedback information is consistent, determining that the first user meets the verification information condition of the target function; otherwise, determining that the first user does not meet the verification information condition of the target function, wherein the verification feedback information is obtained by comparing default verification information of the target function obtained by the network equipment with the verification information. For example, on the premise that the target function belongs to the list of functions to be verified, the first terminal device presents a verification interface for verifying the target function to the first user, where the verification interface includes performing password input, performing fingerprint input, performing face recognition, and the like, and in response to an input operation of the first user in the verification interface, the first terminal device sends a verification request for the target function to the network device, where the verification request includes verification information input by the first user; in some embodiments, the first user-entered verification information includes at least any one of:

1) a password entered by the first user;

2) fingerprint information input by the first user;

3) face information input by the first user;

4) gesture information input by the first user; for example, the first user may perform multiple ways for the first terminal device to detect whether the first user satisfies the verification information condition of the target function, so as to improve the flexibility of detection and the efficiency of detection. The network device receives the verification request about the target function, queries the target function in a mapping relation between a corresponding function to be verified and default verification information to obtain default verification information corresponding to the target function, compares the default verification information with the verification information input by the first user (for example, a password input by the first user is consistent with a password corresponding to the default verification information), and returns a verification feedback result after comparison to the first terminal device, the first terminal device detects whether the first user meets the verification information condition of the target function based on the result, if the verification feedback result includes that the default verification information is consistent with the verification information input by the first user, the first terminal device determines that the first user can obtain the authority to use the target function, and executes the target operation corresponding to the target application based on the obtaining operation, for example, the target function includes location sharing, and if the first user meets the verification information condition of the target function, the first terminal device performs an operation of sending the location information of the first user to a corresponding target social object. On the premise that the network device detects whether the first user meets the verification information condition of the target function, corresponding setting can be reserved if the subsequent social application is installed on other first terminal devices or the social application is reinstalled, and mapping contents of the function to be verified and default verification information do not need to be reset in other first terminal devices, so that the operation of the user is simplified, and the detection efficiency is improved. In some embodiments, if the target operation is satisfied, the executing the target operation corresponding to the target function includes: and if so, executing the target operation corresponding to the target function, wherein the current time accords with the use time period corresponding to the target function. On the premise that the first user meets the verification information condition of the target function, if the current time does not reach the usable time of the target function (for example, the first user meets the verification information adjustment of the location sharing function, but the current time is not in the usable time period of the location sharing function, for example, 21:00-22:00), the first terminal device ignores the obtaining operation of the first user, and if the current time reaches the usable time of the target function, the first terminal device executes the corresponding operation.

For example, a first user holds a first terminal device, a social application is installed in the first terminal device, the first user acquires a target social object (for example, a contact a) in the social application, and in response to an acquisition operation of the first user on a target function (for example, a photo function), the first terminal device detects whether the first user satisfies an authentication information condition of the target function (for example, authentication information input by the first user after clicking the function is consistent with default authentication information of the function), and if not, the first terminal device ignores the acquisition operation; otherwise, the first terminal equipment executes the operation corresponding to the function.

For example, fig. 4 illustrates a schematic diagram of using an application function in a social application according to an embodiment of the present application, where a first user holds a first terminal device, the first terminal device has the social application installed therein, the first user acquires a target social object (e.g., a group chat) in the social application, and in response to an acquisition operation of a target function (e.g., a photo function) performed by the first user in the group chat, the first terminal device detects whether the function is in a function library provided with a password, and if not, the first terminal device performs an operation corresponding to the function after presenting a normal use prompt; otherwise, the first terminal device presents a verification interface (for example, a password input window) for the first user to input, and executes an operation corresponding to the function when the password input by the first user is correct.

In some embodiments, in step S102, a first terminal device enables verification setting of one or more functions corresponding to the target social object, and in response to an operation of the first user to obtain a target function of the one or more functions, detects whether the first user satisfies a verification information condition of the target function, and if so, executes a target operation corresponding to the target function; otherwise, ignoring the obtaining operation, wherein the target function comprises a function for the first user to perform social interaction with the user in the target social object. For example, on the premise that the first terminal device enables the verification setting of one or more functions corresponding to the target social object, a basis is provided for subsequently detecting whether the first user meets the verification information condition of the target function in the one or more functions, so that a strange user is facilitated to prevent from viewing or mistakenly touching privacy information in a social application.

In some embodiments, the enabling of the verification setting of the one or more functions corresponding to the target social object comprises: and enabling verification setting of one or more functions corresponding to the target social object in response to selection operation of a second user on the one or more functions in the social application. For example, fig. 5 shows a schematic diagram of using application functions in a social application according to another embodiment of the present application, where a second user includes an owner of the first terminal device, and in response to a trigger operation of the second user on a target social object (e.g., a social group) in the social application, the first terminal device presents a privacy setting interface, where the privacy setting interface includes one or more functions (e.g., a red envelope, a camera, a video, etc.) related to the social group to be set for verification, and according to a selection operation of the second user (e.g., the red envelope function), if the red envelope function has been set for verification (e.g., a password setting) before, the second user inputs a password set before the red envelope function to release the verification setting of the red envelope function, if the red envelope function has not been set for verification (e.g., password setting), the second user performs authentication setting (e.g., password setting) for the red packet-sending function, and in the case that the owner of the first terminal device can manually set authentication authority about one or more functions, the owner of the first terminal device is given personalized setting rights, so that the use experience and privacy security of the user are improved. In some embodiments, the enabling of the verification setting of the one or more functions corresponding to the target social object comprises: acquiring image information of the first user through the social application, and sending the image information to network equipment corresponding to the social application; receiving history limited information, in the social application, of the first user, which is returned by the network device and determined according to the image information; enabling verification setting of one or more functions corresponding to the target social object according to the history limited information, wherein the history limited information comprises history verification setting information of the first user in the social application and relevant to the target social object. For example, in a process that the first user enables the social application (for example, when the social application is just opened or in a using process), the social application acquires image information of the first user through a camera device of the first terminal device, and sends the image information to the network device corresponding to the social application. The network device determines history limited information of the first user in the social application according to the image information of the first user, wherein the history limited information includes verification function information that the first user is set in the social application, for example, the network device acquires that verification setting of at least one function of one or more functions related to the target social object exists in the history behavior information of the first user, the network device sends the history limited information related to the target social object to the first terminal device, and the first terminal device can automatically enable the verification setting of the one or more functions corresponding to the target social object based on the history limited information (for example, enable the at least one function related to the target social object according to a plurality of functions of the verification setting enabled in the history limited information), under this situation, the complexity of manual setting of the second user is avoided, the efficiency of starting verification setting is improved, and the user experience is improved. In some embodiments, the first terminal device may automatically enable the verification setting of one or more functions corresponding to the target social object in combination with the manual setting of the second user (e.g., the owner of the first terminal device). For example, the first terminal device enables verification settings of one or more functions corresponding to the target social object according to historical verification setting information of the first user, for example, the historical verification setting information includes a limit on a red packet sending function and a shooting function, the second user selects a sending location function corresponding to the target social object in the social application, the first terminal device enables verification settings for the sending location function, finally, when the first user performs social interaction with the target social object, the red packet sending function, the shooting function and the sending location function need to be verified, and when the verification is passed, the functions can be enabled.

Fig. 3 shows a method for limiting application functions in a social application, applied to a second terminal device, according to an embodiment of the present application, where the method includes step S201 and step S202.

In step S201, the second terminal device, in response to a trigger event in the social application, acquires one or more social objects selected by the second user in the social application. For example, the trigger event includes a selection operation of a second user on one or more social objects in a social application, where the second user includes a user corresponding to a login account currently logged in the social application, and may also include an owner of the second terminal device, and the social object includes at least one of a group session or a single chat session (e.g., a friend session or a non-friend session). For example, the second user may select one or more social objects individually or in batches in the social application.

In step S202, the second terminal device generates a first verification setting of the target function based on a setting operation of the second user on the target function corresponding to each social object. The first verification setting includes password setting, the target function includes any function (e.g., a common function or a privacy function, etc.) presented when a user corresponding to the social object performs a session, for example, in response to a trigger operation of a second user on a setting interface corresponding to the social object (e.g., a group session) in the social application, the second terminal device presents the privacy setting interface, where the interface includes one or more functions (e.g., a red packet, a camera, a video, etc.) related to the group session and to be subjected to verification setting, according to a selection operation (e.g., a red packet sending function) of the second user, the red packet sending function performs verification setting (e.g., password setting) for the red packet sending function by the second user after being selected, and saves the password setting.

For example, the second user opens a friend setting interface of friend a in the social application, and according to the requirement of the second user, the second user selects "chat with friend", "send photo", "send red packet" functions in the friend setting interface and sets an enabling password, for example, the passwords are all set, or different passwords are set for each function, and the password setting is stored.

In some embodiments, the method further comprises step S203 (not shown), in step S203, the second terminal device determines the usage period information available for use by the target function; in step S202, the second terminal device generates a first verification setting of the target function based on a setting operation of the second user on the target function corresponding to each social object and the usage time period information of the target function. For example, the second terminal device determines the available usage time period information of the target function according to the default setting of the target function by the second user, or determines the available usage time period information of the target function based on the usage habit of the second user, for example, the second user performs, at 21: the probability of using the target function in the night time period of 00-8:00 is smaller than a preset probability threshold, in the case of setting operation of the target function corresponding to each social object based on the second user, the target function sets initial verification setting based on the operation of the second user, and generates first verification setting of the target function by combining use time period information, for example, taking the target function as a red packet sending function, on the basis that the red packet sending function is set with an enabled password, the use of the red packet sending function needs to be combined with usable time (for example, 21: 00-8:00), and a user needing to use the red packet sending function of the social application in the second terminal device can use the red packet sending function by unlocking the password within the usable time. Thereby enhancing the restriction of the target function.

In some embodiments, the method further comprises step S204 (not shown), in step S204, the second terminal device determines security level information of the target function; inquiring other functions belonging to the same classification with the security level information of the target function in a security level classification table according to the security level information of the target function; in step S202, the second terminal device generates first verification settings of the target function and the other functions based on a setting operation of the second user on the target function corresponding to each social object. For example, the second terminal device may perform a security level classification on one or more functions in the social application and generate a security level classification table, e.g., with a highest level a, a corresponding to at least one function (e.g., a money-related red parcel or a money transfer function), a next highest level B, B corresponding to at least one function (e.g., location sharing, location sending, etc., related to a person), and so on. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the foregoing security level classification schemes are merely exemplary, and that other existing or future security level classification schemes may be used and are intended to be encompassed within the scope of the present application and are hereby incorporated by reference. Taking the target function as the red packet sending function as an example, the second terminal device determines other functions (for example, account transfer and card and ticket sharing functions) consistent with the security level classification to which the red packet sending function belongs, and on the premise that the second user performs first verification setting (for example, password setting) on the red packet sending function, the second terminal device automatically performs the account transfer and performs the first verification setting (for example, password setting) on the card and ticket sharing function, so that the efficiency of function setting in social applications is improved, the operation of the user is simplified, and meanwhile, the security of the functions in the social applications is automatically improved.

Specifically, the one-to-one module 101 is configured to, in response to a trigger operation of a first user in a social application of a first terminal device, obtain a target social object in the social application. For example, the first user may include other users besides the owner of the first terminal device and the current login user of the social application, and in some embodiments, the first user may be the owner of the first terminal device, and in response to a selection operation of the first user on a target social object in one or more social objects in the social application, the first terminal device determines the target social object selected by the first user, where the target device object includes a social group or a contact in the social application.

In some embodiments, the first terminal device further includes, before the one-to-one module 101, a three-module 103 (not shown), and the three-module 103 is configured to obtain the usage right of the social application by the first user.
