As shown in fig. 2, the application package may include applications such as camera, gallery, calendar, phone call, map, navigation, WLAN, bluetooth, music, video, short message, etc.

The application framework layer provides an Application Programming Interface (API) and a programming framework for the applications of the application layer the application framework layer includes predefined functions.

As shown in FIG. 2, the application framework layers may include a window manager, content provider, view system, phone manager, resource manager, notification manager, and the like.

The window manager is used for managing window programs. The window manager can obtain the size of the display screen, judge whether a status bar exists, lock the screen, intercept the screen and the like.

The content provider is used to store and retrieve data and make it accessible to applications. The data may include video, images, audio, calls made and received, browsing history and bookmarks, phone books, etc.

The display interface may be comprised of or more views.

The phone manager is used to provide a communication function of the communication terminal 100. Such as management of call status (including on, off, etc.).

The resource manager provides various resources for the application, such as localized strings, icons, pictures, layout files, video files, and the like.

The notification manager enables the application to display notification information in the status bar, can be used to convey notification-type messages, can disappear automatically after a short dwell, and does not require user interaction. Such as a notification manager used to inform download completion, message alerts, etc. The notification manager may also be a notification that appears in the form of a chart or scroll bar text at the top status bar of the system, such as a notification of a background running application, or a notification that appears on the screen in the form of a dialog window. For example, text information is prompted in the status bar, a prompt tone is given, the communication terminal vibrates, and an indicator light flashes.

The Android Runtime comprises a core library and a virtual machine. The Android runtime is responsible for scheduling and managing an Android system.

The core library comprises two parts, wherein part is a function to be called by java language, and part is the core library of android.

The application layer and the application framework layer run in a virtual machine. And executing java files of the application program layer and the application program framework layer into a binary file by the virtual machine. The virtual machine is used for performing the functions of object life cycle management, stack management, thread management, safety and exception management, garbage collection and the like.

The system library may include a plurality of functional modules. For example: surface managers (surface managers), Media Libraries (Media Libraries), three-dimensional graphics processing Libraries (e.g., OpenGL ES), 2D graphics engines (e.g., SGL), and the like.

The surface manager is used to manage the display subsystem and provide fusion of 2D and 3D layers for multiple applications.

The media library supports a variety of commonly used audio, video format playback and recording, and still image files, among others. The media library may support a variety of audio-video encoding formats, such as MPEG4, h.264, MP3, AAC, AMR, JPG, PNG, and the like.

The three-dimensional graphic processing library is used for realizing three-dimensional graphic drawing, image rendering, synthesis, layer processing and the like.

The 2D graphics engine is a drawing engine for 2D drawing.

The kernel layer is a layer between hardware and software. The inner core layer at least comprises a display driver, a camera driver, an audio driver and a sensor driver.

The following exemplifies the workflow of the software and hardware of the communication terminal 100 in connection with capturing a photographing scene.

When the touch sensor 180K receives a touch operation, a corresponding hardware interrupt is issued to the kernel layer. The kernel layer processes the touch operation into an original input event (including touch coordinates, a time stamp of the touch operation, and other information). The raw input events are stored at the kernel layer. And the application program framework layer acquires the original input event from the kernel layer and identifies the control corresponding to the input event. Taking the touch operation as a touch click operation, and taking a control corresponding to the click operation as a control of a camera application icon as an example, the camera application calls an interface of an application framework layer, starts the camera application, further starts a camera drive by calling a kernel layer, and captures a still image or a video through the camera 193.

The communication terminal 100 in the embodiment of the present application may be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a wearable device, a notebook computer, a television, and the like.

FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram illustrating a user interface on a communication terminal (e.g., communication terminal 100 of FIG. 1). in some implementations , a user may open a corresponding application by touching an application icon on the user interface or may open a corresponding folder by touching a folder icon on the user interface.

In the application layer shown in fig. 2, the application package includes, in addition to the system application, a third-party application, such as a shopping application, a chat application, a video application, a game application, and the like. Some third party applications may use sensitive devices, such as cameras, microphones, positioning devices, etc., that are related to the privacy of the user without the user's knowledge. Some third-party applications enable users to select whether to open the permission of using the sensitive devices for the applications or not during installation, but default choices are all open, and many users directly ignore the setting in order to install the applications as soon as possible, so that the installed third parties have the permission of using the sensitive devices.

When the third-party application uses the sensitive device, such as opening a camera, opening a microphone or opening a positioning device, most of the situations are not perceived by the user, so that the privacy of the user is revealed, and bad experience is brought to the user.

To this end, an processing method of a communication terminal is provided in an embodiment of the present application, where in response to a user input for opening a th application, during running of the th application, if it is detected that the th application is using the sensitive device, a prompt that the th application is using the sensitive device is displayed on a user interface.

Note that the -th application is generally a third-party application.

In implementations, a process of monitoring that application is using the sensitive device is illustrated by taking the sensitive device as a camera, a application in an application program layer calls the camera, after receiving a call request, an application framework layer sends the request to a system library through a JNI (JAVA Native Interface, JAVA local Interface), namely a Native layer for processing, and when the Native layer updates a caller (Client) list of the camera, the Native layer informs a battery status service of information of the caller in the form of UID.

In this embodiment, during the running of the th application, if the mobilesaffervice detects that the user of the camera is the th application, the prompting information that the th application is using the camera is displayed on the user interface, fig. 4 is a schematic view of the user interface for showing that the touch screen displays the prompting information that the a application is using the camera, and as shown in fig. 4, a prompting window 801 pops up on the user interface, and the prompting information that the a application is using the camera is displayed on the prompting window 801.

In other implementations, the Notification is displayed in the form of a Notification that the application is using the sensitive device FIG. 5 is a schematic view of a user interface showing a touch screen displaying the Notification that an application is using a camera, in the above example, the Notification that an application is using a camera is displayed in a Notification window 901 as shown in FIG. 5, where the interface shown in FIG. 6 is entered in response to a user input opening the Notification window 901.

In implementations, a sensitive device is taken as a microphone to exemplify a process of monitoring that application is using the sensitive device, a application in an application layer calls the microphone, after receiving a call request, an application framework layer sends the request to a system library through a JNI (JAVA Native Interface) to be processed, the Native layer acquires a wakelock lock when acquiring the microphone, and when acquiring the wakelock lock, the powermanagervice calls back locking information of the microphone to mobilesaffervice, so that the mobilesaffervice can acquire a user and a use state of the microphone in real time.

In this embodiment, during the running of the th application, if mobilesaffervice detects that the user of the microphone is th application, the prompting message that the th application is using the microphone is displayed on the user interface, fig. 7 is a schematic diagram of the user interface for showing that the touch screen displays the prompting message that the B application is using the microphone, and as shown in fig. 7, a prompting window 802 pops up on the user interface and the prompting message that the B application is using the microphone is displayed in the prompting window 802.

In other implementations, the reminder that the aforementioned application is using the sensitive device is displayed in the form of a notification FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram of a user interface showing a touch screen display that the B application is using a microphone.

The method comprises the steps that , a sensitive device is taken as a positioning device to exemplify a process of monitoring that application uses the sensitive device, a application in an application program layer calls a positioning function, and after an application program framework layer receives a call request, a locationManagerservice service responds to positioning calls of applications in the application program layer and returns positioning information.

In this embodiment, during the running of the th application, if mobilesaffervice detects that the user of the positioning device is the th application, a prompt message that the th application is using GPS or network positioning is displayed on the user interface.

In application scenarios, if the application runs in the foreground, a prompt is displayed that the application is using the sensitive device while the application user interface is displayed, as shown in fig. 4, during the video playing period of the a application, it is monitored that the a application is using the camera, and a prompt window 801 pops up on the user interface displaying the a application to prompt the user that the a application is using the camera.

In an optional implementation, if the application runs in the background, the notification that the application is using the sensitive device is displayed at the same time as the user interface of the second application is displayed, wherein the second application is a different application from the application, in examples, the application is an a application belonging to a video class application, such as Tencent video, and the second application is a navigation class application, such as a hundred-degree map.

In alternative embodiments, the usage rights of the application to the sensitive device are modified to be disabled or the user is queried before use in response to user input modifying the usage rights of the sensitive device of application through the prompt.

FIG. 10 is a schematic diagram of an -group user interface for showing a user modifying the camera usage rights of an A-application in response to a user input opening the prompt window 801 of FIG. 4, the notification window 901 of FIG. 5, or the notification window 901 of FIG. 6, entering an interface as shown in FIG. 10 through which the user can modify the camera usage rights of the A-application from enabled to disabled.
