Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some, not all, embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without any inventive step, are within the scope of the present invention.

Fig. 1 is a schematic flow chart of a password prompting method provided in an embodiment of the present invention, which can be executed by a mobile terminal, and referring to fig. 1, the method may specifically include the following steps:

step 102: and when detecting that the first user fails in password verification, displaying a password prompt image, wherein the password prompt image comprises a cipher text of the password prompt information.

All users (i.e., users who set passwords) of the terminal device can be marked as second users, and then the first user can be the second user or other users besides the second user; the password prompting image is a carrier of password prompting information, and can be a static image or a dynamic image; the password prompt information refers to information which is preset by the second user and has an association relation with the password; the cipher text of the password prompt message refers to a character obtained by encrypting the password prompt message based on a preset encryption mode, and the preset encryption mode is set by a second user.

The cipher text of the password prompt information can be called as a password prompt information cipher text and can be preset by a user or terminal equipment for setting a password, and the cipher text of the password prompt information can be referred to by a first user to input decryption information; the password verification is used for verifying whether the password input by the first user is legal or not, and the password verification comprises verification of a screen locking password, a payment password, a login password and the like.

Further, one implementation of step 102 may be:

step 1021: the method comprises the steps that terminal equipment obtains password information input by a first user and verifies the password information;

step 1022: and if the number of times of continuous verification failure exceeds the preset upper limit of times, triggering and displaying the password prompting image.

It should be noted that, assuming that the password authentication process is performed on the login password, and the preset number of times is limited to 5, referring to fig. 2a, step 1021 and step 1022 may be specifically exemplified as:

the terminal device detects that the first user inputs the wrong login password for 5 times continuously, and displays a password prompt image shown in fig. 2a, wherein the password prompt image contains a cipher text of password prompt information, and the cipher text is used for selecting two friends of you.

It should be understood that the password hint image presented at step 102 may be an image previously uploaded by the second user, and before step 102, the method further comprises: an image processing step, which may be implemented in a manner of:

step S1: determining a target image uploaded by a second user in the password setting process;

step S2: determining whether the second user performs setting operation on the target image, wherein the setting operation is used for inputting password prompt information and decryption conditions corresponding to the target image;

step S3: and if the second user performs setting operation on the target image, encrypting the password prompt information corresponding to the target image to obtain a password prompt image.

Further, the target image uploaded by the second user may include images corresponding to a plurality of scenes, where the plurality of scenes are used to represent the relationship between the second user and other users; the step S1 may specifically be exemplified by:

firstly, dividing a plurality of scenes based on the relationship between the second user and other users; for example:

dividing a family scene based on the relationship between the second user and other users; dividing a school scene based on the teacher-student relationship or the classmate relationship between the second user and other users; dividing a company scene based on the co-worker relationship between the second user and other users; and dividing a friend gathering scene based on the friend relationship between the second user and other users.

Second, one or more images are uploaded for each of the plurality of scenes during the setting of the password.

Wherein, the image corresponding to each scene may be different, for example: the image corresponding to the family scene is generally an image related to family members, and the image corresponding to the work scene is generally an image related to colleagues or companies.

Based on the above, by uploading the target image in different scenes and displaying the password prompt image corresponding to the second scene different from the first scene of the first user to the first user instead of displaying the password prompt image corresponding to the first scene of the first user, the first user can be prevented from carrying out decryption operation on the password prompt image corresponding to the first scene according to the enlightenment of the first scene of the first user when the first user is not the second user, so that the password prompt information is obtained, and the security of the password can be ensured more reliably.

Accordingly, one implementation of step 102 may be:

determining a first scene where the first user is located, and displaying a password prompt image corresponding to a second scene; wherein the second scene is any one of the plurality of scenes except the first scene; the plurality of scenes includes family, school, company, and friend gathering, etc. Specific examples can be:

example 1, a terminal device captures a real-time image by using a camera carried by the terminal device, the real-time image includes a location environment of a first user, the terminal device compares the real-time image with a target image uploaded by a second user, and determines that the location environment of the first user matches with an image corresponding to a company scene uploaded by the second user, and then determines that the first scene where the first user is located is a company, and randomly displays an image corresponding to any scene of family, school, and friend gathering scenes to the first user.

Example 2, the terminal device determines current location information of the terminal device by using a GPS technology, compares the current location information with location information of scenes uploaded by a second user, such as a family, a school, a company, and a friend gathering place, determines that the current location information matches the location information of the school where the terminal device is located, determines that a first scene where a first user is located is the school, and randomly displays an image corresponding to any scene of the scenes of the family, the company, and the friend gathering to the first user.

It should be noted that, referring to fig. 2a to 2d, the circular area in fig. 2b is orange, the circular area in fig. 2d is red, and steps S1 to S3 may specifically be exemplified as:

firstly, the terminal device determines a first target image uploaded by a second user in a password setting process and shown in fig. 2a, and determines first password prompt information 'orange represents a month of a birthday' corresponding to the first target image input by the second user, and a first decryption condition 'an area touched by the first user is matched with an orange circular area shown in fig. 2 b'; secondly, the terminal device determines a second target image uploaded by the second user as shown in fig. 2c, and determines that the second password hint information "red represents capital letters" corresponding to the second target image input by the second user, and the second decryption condition "the area touched by the first user matches with the red circular area shown in fig. 2 c"; and finally, the terminal equipment encrypts first password prompt information corresponding to the first target image and second password prompt information corresponding to the second target image respectively to obtain a first password prompt image and a second password prompt image.

Based on the password prompting image, the target image which is uploaded and set by the second user in advance is encrypted to obtain the password prompting image, so that the password prompting information corresponding to the password prompting image can be displayed when the decryption information input by the first user meets the decryption condition, and the security of the password can be further reliably ensured.

Step 104: determining whether the first user carries out decryption operation on the password prompt image, wherein the decryption operation is used for inputting decryption information; and the decryption information is used for decrypting the ciphertext of the password prompt information to obtain the plaintext of the password prompt information.

It will be appreciated that after the user enters the decryption information, the method further comprises: and a decryption information verification step, namely verifying whether the decryption information can meet the decryption condition of the ciphertext of the password prompt information, wherein the decryption condition is a condition which is corresponding to the preset encryption mode and is required to be met by decrypting the ciphertext of the password prompt information to obtain the plaintext.

The decryption information verification step may specifically be as follows:

example 1, assume that the decryption information includes: the first user inputs the target biometric information based on the ciphertext of the password hint information, and the decryption information verification step may specifically be:

and if the target biological characteristic information is matched with the biological characteristic information required by the decryption condition, determining that the target biological characteristic information meets the decryption condition.

The biometric information may be a physiological characteristic inherent to a human body used by the first user for personal authentication, and the biometric information includes a fingerprint, an iris, a face, and the like.

It should be noted that, assuming that the first scene is a company, the displayed password hint image is an image corresponding to a school, and the ciphertext of the password hint information is "please verify your fingerprint", step 104 and the decryption verification step may specifically be exemplified as:

the first user presses the fingerprint identification area with the index finger of the right hand, the terminal device determines a target fingerprint input by the first user, compares the target fingerprint with a fingerprint (the index finger fingerprint of the right hand uploaded by the second user in advance) required by a decryption condition, and if the target fingerprint is matched with the fingerprint required by the decryption condition, the target fingerprint is determined to meet the decryption condition.

Based on the method, whether the target biological characteristic information meets the decryption condition is determined by comparing the target biological characteristic information input by the first user with the biological characteristic information required by the decryption condition, so that whether the decryption information of the first user meets the decryption condition can be determined more conveniently.

Example 2, assume that the decryption information includes: the first user inputs the target text information based on the ciphertext of the password hint information, and the decryption information verification step may specifically be:

and if the target text information is matched with the text information required by the decryption condition, determining that the target text information meets the decryption condition.

It should be noted that, assuming that the first scene is a company, the displayed password hint image is an image corresponding to a school, and the ciphertext of the password hint information is "name of your senior high school executive owner", step 104 and the decryption information verification step may be specifically exemplified as:

the method comprises the steps that a first user inputs target character information 'wangxian' in a text input box of a password prompt image, the terminal equipment compares the 'wangxian' with character information (names of senior high school banjo masters and majors preset by a second user) required by a decryption condition, and if the target character information is matched with the character information required by the decryption condition, the target character information is determined to meet the decryption condition.

Based on the method, whether the target character information meets the decryption condition can be determined not only through the target biological characteristic information input by the first user, but also through comparing the target character information input by the first user with the character information required by the decryption condition, so that whether the decryption information of the first user meets the decryption condition can be determined more conveniently and more variously.

Example 3, assume that the decryption information includes: the first user may specifically perform the decryption information verification step in a target area touched by the ciphertext of the password hint information on the password hint image:

and if the target area is matched with the area required by the decryption condition, determining that the target area meets the decryption condition.

It should be noted that, referring to fig. 2c, assuming that the first scene is a company, the displayed password hint image is an image corresponding to a family, and the ciphertext of the password hint information is "please select a family location", step 104 and the decryption information verification step may specifically be exemplified as:

the first user touches a target area of the password prompt image: and the terminal equipment compares the first area with an area (an area preset by a second user) required by a decryption condition, and if the target area is matched with the area required by the decryption condition, the target area is determined to meet the decryption condition.

Based on the method, whether the target area meets the decryption condition can be determined by comparing the target area touched by the first user with the area required by the decryption condition, so that whether the decryption information of the first user meets the decryption condition can be determined more conveniently, more variously and more flexibly.

Step 106: and if the received decryption information meets the decryption condition of the password prompt information ciphertext, displaying the password prompt information for the first user to input the password again.

It should be noted that, when there is one password hint, step 106 may specifically be exemplified as:

the terminal device determines that the decryption information input by the first user meets the decryption condition of the ciphertext of the password prompt information, displays the password prompt information that the password is your birth year and month (lunar calendar), and the user re-inputs the password "199303" based on the password prompt information.

It should be noted that, when there are a plurality of password hint information, after "displaying the password hint information" in step 106, a password verification image displaying step is further included, and an implementation manner of the step may be:

displaying a password verification image to allow the first user to input a password again by combining a plurality of password prompt messages and the password verification image;

the password verification image comprises a plurality of image elements with sequence, and the sequence of the image elements represents the sequence of the passwords corresponding to the password prompt messages.

It should be noted that, referring to fig. 2a to fig. 2e, the password verification image displaying step may specifically be exemplified as:

the terminal device determines that the area touched by the first user in the first password prompt image shown in fig. 2a is matched with the orange circular area required by the decryption condition, prompts the first user to select right, and displays first password prompt information orange shown in fig. 2b to the first user to represent the month of the birthday; the terminal device determines that the area touched by the first user in the second password hint image shown in fig. 2c matches the red circular area required by the decryption condition, prompts the first user to "select correct", and displays to the first user the second password hint information "red stands for capitalization of the first name" shown in fig. 2 d; the terminal device presents the password prompting image shown in fig. 2e to the first user (the circular areas 1 and 4 are red, the circular areas 2 and 3 are orange), the first user determines that the image elements corresponding to the circular areas 1 to 4 are father, son, wife and mother respectively, because the circular areas 1 and 4 are red, the capital letters of the father and the mother need to be input (red represents capital letters), the circular areas 2 and 3 are orange, the birth months of the son and wife need to be input (orange represents the month of birthday), and therefore the first user can input the capital letters of the father, the son and the wife in turn, and the maternal capital letters are input as the re-input password.

Based on this, the password verification image is displayed, so that the user can input the password more conveniently and accurately by combining the password prompt information and the password verification image.

In addition, if the decryption information does not meet the decryption condition of the cipher prompt information ciphertext, the situation that malicious unlocking possibly occurs is determined, and an alarm step is executed; one implementation of the step of alarming may be:

and recording the biological characteristic information and the position information of the first user, and sending alarm information to a preset emergency contact. Referring to fig. 2a and 2c, the alarm step may specifically be as follows:

example 1, the decryption information is not decrypted successfully after being input for multiple times:

the terminal device performs a first decryption attempt: when the fact that the target area touched by the first user's two friends selected out of the ciphertext of the first password hint image shown in fig. 2a is not matched with the area required by the decryption condition is detected, it is determined that the first decryption fails; the terminal device performs a second decryption attempt: when it is detected that a target region touched by a first user based on a ciphertext 'please select a home position' of a second password prompt image shown in fig. 2c is not matched with a region required by a decryption condition, it is determined that decryption fails for the second time, and since the number of times of decryption has reached a preset upper limit of times of decryption, a group of confusion images preset by the second user is displayed to the first user, so that in the process of performing decryption operation on images in the group of confusion images by the first user, a face and an iris of the first user are recorded, position information of the first user is determined, the face, the iris and the position information are sent to a server, and prompt information is sent to an emergency contact preset by the second user: "strange user tries decryption and sends its related information to the server, please pay attention to protect your password security".

Example 2, inputting multiple decryption information at a time did not succeed in decryption:

the terminal device first detects that the target area touched by the first user 'selecting two friends' based on the ciphertext of the first password hint image shown in fig. 2a is not matched with the area required by the decryption condition, then detects that the target area touched by the first user 'please select the home position' based on the ciphertext of the second password hint image shown in fig. 2c is not matched with the area required by the decryption condition, determining that the decryption attempt fails, and presenting a group of confusion images preset by the second user to the first user, so as to record the face and the iris of the first user in the process of the first user decrypting the images in the confusion image group, and determining the position information of the first user, sending the face, the iris and the position information to a server, and sending prompt information to an emergency contact preset by a second user: "strange user tries decryption and sends its related information to the server, please pay attention to protect your password security".

Based on this, by transmitting the alarm information when the decryption information does not satisfy the decryption condition, the security of the password can be ensured more reliably.

Therefore, on one hand, in the embodiment, the image is used as a carrier of the password prompt information to suggest that the user remembers the correct password, so that the purpose of conveniently finding the password is achieved; on the other hand, the password prompt information is converted into the ciphertext to be displayed, and the password prompt information is displayed after the user successfully decrypts the password, so that the purpose of safely retrieving the password is achieved.

Fig. 3a is a flowchart illustrating a password prompting method according to another embodiment of the present invention, which may be executed by a mobile terminal, and referring to fig. 3a, the method may specifically include the following steps:

step 302 a: when detecting that the first user fails in password verification, displaying a prompt information carrier, wherein the prompt information carrier contains a cipher text of password prompt information and comprises voice and/or text;

step 304 a: determining whether the first user carries out decryption operation on the prompt information carrier, wherein the decryption operation is used for inputting decryption information;

Example 2, assuming that the prompt information carrier is a text, the specific examples of the steps 302a to 306a are as follows:

the method comprises the steps that terminal equipment obtains password information input by a first user and verifies the password information; the terminal equipment detects that the frequency of continuous verification failure exceeds a preset upper frequency limit, triggers and displays a character 'aaabbc', and pops up a ciphertext 'your favorite literary work'; when the terminal device detects that the literary work input by the first user is matched with the literary work required by the decryption condition, displaying password prompt information 'a is the birth month of your daughter, b is the age of your mother and c is the birth month of your husband'; the first user inputs the birth month of the daughter (3 times), the age of the mother (2 times), and the birth month of the husband (1 time) in sequence as the re-input password.

Example 3, assuming that the prompt information carrier is voice and text, the specific examples of the steps 302a to 306a may be:

the method comprises the steps that terminal equipment obtains password information input by a first user and verifies the password information;

when the terminal device detects that the number of times of continuous verification failure exceeds a preset upper limit of times, firstly, triggering to play voice (the voice relates to the voice of 3 persons), and popping up a ciphertext 'your favorite actor' after the voice is played; when the terminal device detects that the actor name input by the first user is matched with the actor name required by the decryption condition, the terminal device displays the password prompt information, wherein the first component of the password is as follows: capitalization of the first person's name, the year of birth of the second person's name, the month of birth of the third person "; the first user hears 3 persons' voices as the father, sister, and brother, respectively.

Secondly, triggering and displaying the text 'bac' and popping up a ciphertext 'favorite literary work of you'; and when the terminal equipment detects that the literary work input by the first user is matched with the literary work required by the decryption condition, displaying the password prompt information' in a second component of the password: a is the birth month of your daughter, b is the age of your mother, c is the birth month of your husband ".

The first user sequentially inputs the initials of the father's name, the birth year of the sister, the birth month of the brother, the age of the mother, the birth month of the daughter and the birth month of the husband as the re-input password.
