If personal information is under initial data state, privacy line module 540 can be using under initial data state Personal information perform function and be not decrypted process.

Meanwhile, Fig. 8 to Figure 13 is the diagram for illustrating various example embodiments.

If being determined the application request associated person information for needing to protect personal information, processor 120 can be configured to Associated person information is encrypted and to application provide encryption associated person information, and if from application receive for plus Close information-related function performs request, then processor 120 can be configured to the associated person information to encrypting and be decrypted And the contact person UI that on the display 130 associated person information of the display based on decryption is produced.

With reference to regard to above-mentioned Fig. 8, if providing address book information to produce using 121 request secret protection modules 122 List of friends UI, then secret protection module 122 initial data 810 with regard to address book information can be obtained from memory 110.

Here, telephone number " 01095300602 " as the initial data 810 with regard to address book information example, but this The example for generally only describing for convenience, with regard to produce list of friends UI address book information initial data 810 include it is many Individual telephone number.

Secret protection module 122 can be encrypted with will be with regard to address book to the initial data 810 with regard to address book information The initial data 810 of information is converted to the protected data 820 with regard to address book information.

For example, telephone number " 22091820385 " as the protected data 820 with regard to address book information example, but This example for generally only describing for convenience, with regard to the protected data of the address book information with regard to producing list of friends UI 820 include multiple telephone numbers.

Meanwhile, with regard to address book information protected data 820 by entering to the initial data 810 with regard to address book information Row is encrypted and produced, and therefore, physical number " 01095300602 " is expressed as different forms “22091820385”。

Additionally, privacy protection mode 122 can be to the protected data 820 provided using 121 with regard to address book information.Cause This, though address book information is sent to into server 840 using 121, but by being protected number using 121 address informations for sending According to the address book information 820 (22091820385) of the encryption under state, rather than including the initial data shape of actual phone number Address book information 810 (01009530602) under state, and therefore, personal information can be protected.

Meanwhile, if performing display friend's row using the request of protected data 820 with regard to address book information using 121 The protection data 820 with regard to address book information are sent while the function of table UI, then secret protection module 122 can be to regard to address The protected data 820 of book information is decrypted to change into regard to address with regard to the protected data 820 of address book information The initial data 810 of book information, based on initial data list of friends UI 830 is produced, and shows what is produced by display 130 List of friends UI 830.

For example, show and include within a processor two identical secret protection modules 122, but this is to illustrate application 121 request secret protection modules 122 provide the situation of personal information and perform the function relevant with personal information using 121 requests Situation.Processor 120 may include a secret protection module 122.

Similarly, because the initial data 810 of the address book information with regard to being used to show list of friends UI 830 is only aobvious Show in device 130 and used, therefore protected data 810 with regard to address book information, and unavailable pass can be only obtained using 121 In the initial data 810 of address book information, and therefore, personal information can be protected.

Meanwhile, if receive performing request for the call function based on the associated person information encrypted from application, Processor 120 can be configured to the associated person information to encrypting and be decrypted and perform the call function.

With reference to regard to above-mentioned Fig. 9, if user input user operation is marked with performing with list of friends UI 910 Specific people call function, then can send while asking secret protection module 122 to perform call function using 121 and close In the protected data 820 (22091820385) of address book information.

Additionally, secret protection module 122 can be decrypted with will be with regard to the protected data 820 with regard to address book information The protected data 820 (22091820385) of address book information changes into the initial data 810 with regard to address book information (01095300602), and by communicator 140 hold to specific people corresponding with the initial data 810 with regard to address book information Row calling sends request.

Additionally, secret protection module 122 can control electronics while calling transmission request is performed by communicator 140 Device 100 shows calling connection screen 920, wherein, calling connection screen 920 is shown as actual phone number with regard to address The initial data 810 (01095300602) of book information.

For example, when call function is performed, the protected data 820 with regard to address book information can be only obtained using 121 (22091820385), it is not identifiable as the initial data with regard to address book information of actual phone number (01095300602), and therefore, personal information can be protected.

Meanwhile, if application request positional information, processor 120 can be configured to be encrypted positional information and to Using the positional information for providing encryption, and if receive holding for the function relevant with the positional information of encryption from application Row request, then processor 120 can be configured to be decrypted the positional information of encryption, and show over the display based on decryption Positional information produce map screen.

With reference to regard to above-mentioned Figure 10, if the request secret protection of map application 121 ' module 122 positional information is provided with The screen of the current location for representing electronic equipment 100 is produced, then secret protection module 122 can be obtained with regard to position from memory 110 The initial data 810 ' of confidence breath.

For example, the initial data 810 ' with regard to positional information include with regard to longitude and latitude information (37.4562684, 127.0228328) initial data 810 ', but with regard to positional information may include with regard to azimuth and height above sea level rather than longitude and latitude Information.

Secret protection module 122 can be encrypted with will be with regard to positional information to the initial data 810 ' with regard to positional information Initial data 810 ' be converted to protected data 820 ' with regard to positional information.

For example, the protected data 820 ' with regard to positional information may include by being encrypted to the information with regard to longitude and latitude And produce and show information (37.2029352,127.102934), and with as the initial data with regard to positional information 810 ' information with regard to actual longitude and latitude (37.4562684,127.0228328) different form.

Additionally, secret protection module 122 can provide the protected data 820 ' with regard to positional information to map application 121 '. Therefore, even if map application 121 ' sends positional information, the positional information sent by map application 121 ' is in protected data Encryption under state positional information 820 ' (37.2029352,127.102934), rather than exist including actual position information Positional information 810 ' under initial data state (37.4562684,127.0228328), and therefore, personal information can be protected.

Meanwhile, if map application 121 ' is being referred to using the request execution display of protected data 820 ' with regard to positional information While showing the function of screen of the current location of electronic equipment 100, will send with regard to the protected data 820 ' of positional information To secret protection module 122, then secret protection module 122 protected data 820 ' with regard to positional information can be decrypted with The initial data 810 ' with regard to positional information will be changed into regard to the protected data 820 ' of positional information, produced based on initial data The screen of the raw current location for indicating electronic equipment 100, and the present bit for indicating electronic equipment 100 is shown by display 130 The screen put.

For example, to show and include two identical secret protection modules 122 in processor 120, but this is to illustrate Perform using the situation of the offer personal information of 121 request secret protection modules 122 and using 121 requests relevant with personal information Function situation.Processor 120 may include a secret protection module 122.

Similarly, due to regard to for show indicate electronic equipment 100 current location screen positional information original Beginning data 810 ' are only used in display 130, therefore map application 121 ' can be obtained only with regard to the protected of positional information Data 820 ' and the unavailable initial data 810 ' with regard to positional information, and therefore, personal information can be protected.

Meanwhile, for example, electronic equipment 100 can be implemented as the intelligent TV of executable at least one application rather than user's end End device.

With reference to Figure 11, various applications can be shown on the screen of intelligent TV 1100, and in this case, video call Can be performed to ask the memory of intelligent TV 1100 to provide address book information using 1110.

Similarly, the secret protection module 122 in intelligent TV 1100 can obtain the original with regard to address book information from memory Beginning data, by initial data the protected data with regard to address book information is encrypted as, and is received to the offer of video call application 1110 Protection data.

If video call application 1110 using with regard to address book information protected data request perform show with regard to While the function of the screen of address book, to secret protection module 122 protected data with regard to address book information is sent, then it is hidden Private protection module 122 can be decrypted with by with regard to the protected of address book information to the protected data with regard to address book information Data change into the initial data with regard to address book information, and based on initial data the screen with regard to address book information is produced, and lead to Cross display 130 show produce with regard to address book information screen.

In this example, due to only existing with regard to the initial data for display with regard to the address book information of the screen of address book Used in display 130, therefore video call application 1110 can only obtain the protected data with regard to address book information, not The initial data with regard to address book information can be obtained.Therefore, personal information can be protected.

Similarly, user desire to selecting specific people and performing video call with the specific people, video call should Asked to perform video call function, and secret protection module using the protected data with regard to address book information with 1110 122 by being the initial data with regard to address book information controlling communicator with regard to the decryption of the protected data of address book information 140 perform video call function.

Meanwhile, with reference to Figure 12, if performing photo album application in intelligent TV 1200, photo album application is obtained In memory in intelligent TV store photo files are to produce and show various photograph images, as shown in figure 12.Show figure As one of 1210 process will be described as an example.

Photo album application can ask the memory of intelligent TV 1200 to provide corresponding photo files, and secret protection Module 122 can obtain initial data with regard to corresponding photo files from the memory of intelligent TV 1200, and initial data is encrypted It is the protected data with regard to photo files, and protected data is provided to photo album application.

If photo album is applied is performing display including corresponding using the protected data request with regard to photo files While the function of the photograph album screen of image 1210, secret protection module will be sent to regard to the protected data of photo files 122, then secret protection module 122 protected data with regard to photo files can be decrypted for photo files to change into pass In the initial data of photo files, corresponding image 1210 is produced based on initial data, and include producing by the display of display 130 The photograph album screen of raw corresponding image 1210.

In this example, photo album application can only obtain the protected data with regard to photo files, and with regard to being used for Display includes that the initial data of the photo files of the photograph album screen of corresponding image 1210 is only used in display 130.Cause This, the unavailable initial data with regard to photo files of photo album application, and therefore, personal information can be protected.

Meanwhile, even if when data are sent between multiple electronic equipments and server, it is above-mentioned for personal information The process of protection can be employed.

With reference to Figure 13, if the user while performing files passe application in notebook PC screens 1310, select in notebook PC Memory in store photo files and by the photo files be added to perform files passe application files passe window So that photo files to be uploaded onto the server on 1320, then the photo files of addition are uploaded onto the server 1320 by files passe application On.In this example, the secret protection module 122 in notebook PC can detect photo files and be uploaded on server 1320, And the photo files under initial data state are converted to into the photo files under protected data state, and to files passe application Protected data is provided.

Therefore, because the photo files under protected data state are sent to server 1320 by files passe application, because This server 1320 cannot obtain the photo files under initial data state.Therefore, the leakage of personal information can be avoided.

Subsequently, if the user while photo album application being performed in intelligence TV and being performed by photo album application from server 1320 download the photo files under protected data state and show the function of photo files, then hidden in intelligence TV 1330 Private protection module 122 can detect photo album application desired display photo, and the protected number that will be downloaded from server 1320 Photo files are shown according to the photo files decryption under state for the photo files under initial data state and by display 130.

Additionally, if the user while perform file download application in smart mobile phone 1340, downloading from server 1320 protected Photo files under data mode simultaneously perform the function of showing the photo files under the protected data state downloaded, then intelligent hand Secret protection module 122 in machine 1340 can detect file download application desired display photo, by what is downloaded from server 1320 Photo files decryption under protected data state is the photo files under initial data state, and is shown by display 130 Photo files.

Meanwhile, Figure 14 is the diagram of the exemplary construction for illustrating secret protection module.

For example, in the foregoing description with regard to Fig. 8, in processor 120 two identical secret protection modules are included 122, but this is merely for convenience of description.If wrapped using 121, secret protection module 122, memory 110 and display 130 Include in electronic equipment 100 as shown in Figure 4, then a secret protection module 122 can obtain personal information simultaneously from memory 110 Personal information is sent to into display 130 with perform function.
