Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some, but not all embodiments of the present application. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

It should be noted that "/" in this context means "or", for example, A/B may mean A or B; "and/or" herein is merely an association describing an associated object, and means that there may be three relationships, e.g., a and/or B, which may mean: a exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone.

It should be noted that "a plurality" herein means two or more than two.

It should be noted that, in the embodiments of the present invention, words such as "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations or explanations. Any embodiment or design described as "exemplary" or "e.g.," an embodiment of the present invention is not necessarily to be construed as preferred or advantageous over other embodiments or designs. Rather, use of the word "exemplary" or "such as" is intended to present concepts related in a concrete fashion.

It should be noted that, for the convenience of clearly describing the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention, in the embodiments of the present invention, words such as "first" and "second" are used to distinguish the same items or similar items with substantially the same functions or actions, and those skilled in the art can understand that the words such as "first" and "second" do not limit the quantity and execution order. For example, the first input and the second input are for distinguishing different inputs, rather than for describing a particular order of inputs.

At present, the electronic equipment is low in safety because any user can trigger the electronic equipment to start or uninstall an application program in the electronic equipment.

Taking the example that the user triggers the electronic device to start the application program, in the unlocked state of the electronic device, when any user wants to trigger the electronic device to start a certain application program, the user can click an application icon of the certain application program, and then trigger the electronic device to start the certain application program. However, any user can start the certain application program, and after the electronic device starts the application program, the any user can see the data in the application program, which causes data leakage in the application program and reduces the security of the electronic device.

In order to solve the above problem, in the embodiment of the present invention, after a user drags an application icon to a target area according to a straight line; the electronic device also needs to start the application program indicated by the certain application icon according to the dragging track (straight line). And further, the phenomenon that the certain application icon is started by mistake or data is leaked can be avoided, and the safety of the electronic equipment in starting the application program is improved.

Taking the example that the user triggers the electronic device to uninstall the application program, in the unlocked state of the electronic device, when any user wants to trigger the electronic device to uninstall a certain application program, the user can press the certain application program for a long time, and when the pressing time reaches a preset value, the application icon of the certain application program is highlighted and enters an icon editing mode. At this time, a delete button is displayed on the upper right of the application icon, and the user can unload the certain application program by clicking the delete button. However, the user data of the certain application may be deleted while the certain application is uninstalled, and the user data cannot be retrieved, so that the data in the application is lost, and the security of the electronic device is reduced. In order to solve the above problem, in the embodiment of the present invention, after a user drags an application icon to a target area according to a polyline; the electronic device also needs to uninstall the application program indicated by the certain application icon according to the dragging track (polyline). Therefore, the phenomenon that the certain application icon is wrongly unloaded or maliciously unloaded can be avoided, and the safety of the electronic equipment in unloading the application program is improved.

The application program control method provided by the embodiment of the invention can be applied to various scenes for controlling the application programs, and can be applied to switching the application programs running in the background to the foreground running scene and the like besides the scenes for starting the application programs and the scenes for unloading the application programs.

The execution subject of the application control method provided in the embodiment of the present invention may be the electronic device (including a mobile electronic device and a non-mobile electronic device), or may also be a functional module and/or a functional entity capable of implementing the application control method in the electronic device, which may be determined specifically according to actual usage requirements, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited. The following takes an electronic device as an example to exemplarily describe the application control method provided by the embodiment of the present invention.

The electronic device in the embodiment of the invention can be a mobile electronic device or a non-mobile electronic device. The mobile electronic device may be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a palm computer, a vehicle-mounted terminal device, a wearable device, an ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), a netbook or a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), etc.; the non-mobile electronic device may be a Personal Computer (PC), a Television (TV), a teller machine, a self-service machine, or the like; the embodiments of the present invention are not particularly limited.

The electronic device in the embodiment of the present invention may be an electronic device having an operating system. The operating system may be an Android (Android) operating system, an ios operating system, or other possible operating systems, and embodiments of the present invention are not limited in particular.

The following describes a software environment to which the application control method provided by the embodiment of the present invention is applied, by taking an android operating system as an example.

Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of an architecture of a possible android operating system according to an embodiment of the present invention. In fig. 1, the architecture of the android operating system includes 4 layers, which are respectively: an application layer, an application framework layer, a system runtime layer, and a kernel layer (specifically, a Linux kernel layer).

The application program layer comprises various application programs (including system application programs and third-party application programs) in an android operating system.

The application framework layer is a framework of the application, and a developer can develop some applications based on the application framework layer under the condition of complying with the development principle of the framework of the application.

The system runtime layer includes libraries (also called system libraries) and android operating system runtime environments. The library mainly provides various resources required by the android operating system. The android operating system running environment is used for providing a software environment for the android operating system.

The kernel layer is an operating system layer of an android operating system and belongs to the bottommost layer of an android operating system software layer. The kernel layer provides kernel system services and hardware-related drivers for the android operating system based on the Linux kernel.

Taking an android operating system as an example, in the embodiment of the present invention, a developer may develop a software program for implementing the application program control method provided in the embodiment of the present invention based on the system architecture of the android operating system shown in fig. 1, so that the application program control method may operate based on the android operating system shown in fig. 1. Namely, the processor or the electronic device can implement the application control method provided by the embodiment of the invention by running the software program in the android operating system.

The following describes an application program control method according to an embodiment of the present invention with reference to a flowchart of the application program control method shown in fig. 2, where fig. 2 is a flowchart of an application program control method according to an embodiment of the present invention, and includes steps 201 and 202:

step 201: the electronic device receives a first input of a target application icon in the N application icons displayed by the electronic device from a user.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the first input is an input of dragging the target application icon to a target area.

For example, the input for dragging the target application icon to the target area may be a dragging input of a user for dragging the target application icon in any direction, for example, dragging in a clockwise direction, dragging in a counterclockwise direction, dragging in an upward direction, dragging in a downward direction, dragging in a left direction, dragging in a right direction, and the like, and may be specifically set according to actual requirements.

For example, the N application icons may include application icons displayed on a screen of the electronic device, and may also include application icons not displayed on the screen of the electronic device, where N is a positive integer. For example, taking an electronic device as a mobile phone as an example, a desktop of the mobile phone has a desktop a and a desktop B, and if the desktop a is currently displayed on a screen of the mobile phone, the N application icons may be application icons in the desktop a, and may also be application icons in the desktop a and application icons in the desktop B.

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present invention, the target area may include any one of the following items: the fingerprint identification area on the screen of the electronic equipment, and the preset area in the screen of the electronic equipment except the fingerprint identification area.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, the electronic device may display a preset icon on the target area to prompt a user of a position of the target area.

For example, the preset icon may include at least one of the following items: the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to the text and the drawings. For example, if the target area is a fingerprint identification area, the electronic device displays a fingerprint identification icon in the target area.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the user wants to start or uninstall the application program, the electronic device may be triggered to control the N application icons to be in a draggable state.

In an example, if all screens of the electronic device have the fingerprint identification area, the target area may include any preset area on the screen of the electronic device.

Illustratively, before the step 201, the method may further include the following steps 201a and 201 b:

step 201 a: the electronic device receives a second input of the user on a screen of the electronic device.

Illustratively, the second input may include: the click input of the user on the screen, or the voice instruction input by the user, or the specific gesture input by the user may be determined according to the actual use requirement, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

The specific gesture in the embodiment of the invention can be any one of a single-click gesture, a sliding gesture, a dragging gesture, a pressure identification gesture, a long-press gesture, an area change gesture, a double-press gesture and a double-click gesture; the click input in the embodiment of the invention can be click input, double-click input or click input of any number of times, and can also be long-press input or short-press input.

Step 201 b: and responding to the second input, and controlling the N application icons to be in a draggable state by the electronic equipment.

For example, the above N application icons in a draggable state means: the N application icons may be displayed on the screen in a floating manner. For example, when a user drags any one of the N application icons on the screen, the any one application icon may move on the screen as the user's drag input.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the N application icons are in the draggable state, the electronic device may display the N application icons in a first display effect, and display the preset icon.

Illustratively, the first display effect may include any one of the following: highlighting, magnifying, dithering, flashing, and displaying with a preset transparency.

For example, if the first display effect is displayed with a preset transparency, the N application icons may be displayed on the screen in a superimposed manner with the preset transparency. For example, if the preset transparency is denoted as T1, the value range of T1 may be 0% < T1< 100%.

For example, taking the first display effect as the highlight and the target area as the fingerprint identification area as an example, as shown in (a) of fig. 3, 8 app icons, namely, a "contact" app icon, a "set" app icon, a "home" app icon, a "camera" app icon, a "browser" app icon, a "weather" app icon, an "information" app icon, and a "phone" app icon are displayed on the screen of the electronic device (i.e., 31 in (a) of fig. 3), and when the user wants to trigger the electronic device to control the 8 app icons to be in the draggable state, the user may double-click the blank area of the screen 31 of the electronic device (i.e., the second input). At this time, as shown in (b) of fig. 3, the 8 application icons (i.e., the 8 application icons are in a draggable state) are highlighted on the screen of the electronic device (i.e., 31 in (b) of fig. 3), and the fingerprint identification icon (i.e., 33 in (b) of fig. 3) is displayed in the fingerprint identification area (i.e., 32 in (b) of fig. 3).

In one example, the second input may be a pressing input of a user to any one of the N application icons on the screen of the electronic device for a preset time period.

Step 202: and responding to the first input, and executing the operation corresponding to the input graph on the target application program indicated by the target application icon by the electronic equipment according to the input graph of the first input.

In this embodiment of the present invention, the operation may be to start a target application, to uninstall the target application, or to switch a target application running in a background to a foreground running, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present invention.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the input pattern may include: straight line, broken line, curve, triangle, trapezoid, rhombus, rectangle, pentagon, circle. It should be noted that the input pattern in the embodiment of the present invention includes, but is not limited to, the above-mentioned pattern, which may be specifically set according to actual requirements, and the embodiment of the present invention does not limit this.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the input graphic may be determined according to a dragging track of a user dragging the target application icon to the target area. For example, when the user starts to drag the target application icon, taking the center coordinate point of the area where the target application program is located in the screen as a starting point until the user drags the target application icon to the target area, and taking the center coordinate point of the area where the target application program is located in the target area as an end point, the electronic device obtains an input graph corresponding to a dragging track of the target application icon from the starting point to the end point.

It should be noted that, taking the screen of the electronic device as an example of the capacitive screen, when a user touches the capacitive screen, due to the electric field of the human body, a coupling capacitor is formed between the finger of the user and the working surface, and since the working surface is connected with a high-frequency signal, the finger absorbs a small current, the current flows out from the electrodes at the four corners of the screen respectively, and theoretically, the current flowing through the four electrodes is proportional to the distance from the finger head to the four corners of the screen, and the controller obtains the coordinate position of the touch point by precisely calculating the proportions of the four currents. Therefore, when a finger of a user drags the target application program on the screen, the electronic device can acquire the coordinate position of each touch point, and the electronic device can acquire a dragging track according to the coordinate positions of all the touch points, so as to acquire the corresponding input graph according to the dragging track.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the input pattern corresponds to an operation corresponding to the input pattern, that is, different input patterns correspond to different operations.

For example, the operation corresponding to the input graph and the input graph has a target corresponding relationship, which may specifically include: the input graph and the preset input graph have a first corresponding relation, and the operation corresponding to the preset input graph and the preset input graph has a second corresponding relation. That is, when the electronic device acquires the preset pattern, the preset input pattern may be matched with the electronic device, and if the preset input pattern is matched with the electronic device, the electronic device may execute an operation corresponding to the preset input pattern on the target application program.

For example, referring to fig. 3 (b), taking the preset input graph including a straight line, the straight line corresponds to the starting application program as an example, as shown in fig. 4, when the user wants to start the "weather" application program, the "weather" application icon (i.e., 41 in fig. 4) corresponding to the "weather" application program may be dragged to the fingerprint identification area (i.e., 32 in fig. 4) according to a straight line trajectory (i.e., the first input described above). At this time, the electronic device detects a dragging track of the "weather" application icon 41 dragged to the target area 32 by the user, if the dragging track is a straight line (i.e., the input graph), the electronic device performs matching in the preset input graph, matches the straight line of the preset graph according to the first corresponding relationship, and then learns that the straight line corresponds to the start application program according to the second corresponding relationship, and then learns the intention of the user, and starts the "weather" application program.

It should be noted that, if the preset pattern is not matched, the electronic device does not execute any operation, and displays a first prompt message, where the first prompt message is used to prompt the user that the input pattern is absent or incorrect. And if the corresponding operation is not known, the electronic equipment does not execute any operation and displays second prompt information, wherein the second prompt information is used for prompting the user to define the operation corresponding to the preset graph.

According to the application program control method provided by the embodiment of the invention, after receiving a first input of a target application icon in N application icons displayed by the electronic equipment from a user, the electronic equipment can execute an operation corresponding to the input graphic on the target application program indicated by the target application icon according to the input graphic of the first input. The first input is an input of dragging the target application icon to a target area. Therefore, when the user wants to trigger the electronic device to start or unload the target application program, the electronic device not only needs the user to drag the target application icon to the target area, but also needs to start or unload the target application program according to the first input graph, so that the target application program is prevented from being started or unloaded by mistake, and the safety of starting or unloading the application program of the electronic device is improved.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, the electronic device may execute different operations according to different input graphs, and it is necessary to compare the input graph with a preset graph stored in the electronic device, and then determine the executed operation.

For example, based on the step 202, if the input pattern matches with the first preset pattern, the following step 202a may be performed, and if the input pattern matches with the second preset pattern, the following step 202b may be performed.

Step 202 a: and under the condition that the input graph is matched with a first preset graph, the electronic equipment executes a first operation corresponding to the first preset graph on the target application program.

For example, the first preset pattern may include any one of the following: straight lines, broken lines, curved lines, triangles, trapezoids, rhombuses, rectangles, pentagons, circles, which are not limited in the embodiments of the present invention.

Step 202 b: and under the condition that the input graph is matched with a second preset graph, the electronic equipment executes a second operation corresponding to the second preset graph on the target application program.

For example, the second preset pattern may include any one of the following: straight lines, broken lines, curved lines, triangles, trapezoids, rhombuses, rectangles, pentagons, circles, which are not limited in the embodiments of the present invention.

The second preset pattern and the first preset pattern are different patterns.

For example, if the first operation is to start the target application, the second operation is to uninstall the target application; or, if the first operation is to uninstall the target application, the second operation is to start the target application, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

For example, if the user wants to trigger the electronic device to start the "weather" application, as shown in fig. 4, the user may drag the "weather" application icon 41 to the fingerprint identification area 32 according to a straight line, and in a case that the dragging track matches the preset graph straight line (i.e., the first preset graph), the electronic device starts the "weather" application (i.e., the first operation). If the user wants to trigger the electronic device to uninstall the "weather" application, as shown in fig. 5, the user may drag the "weather" application icon (i.e., 41 in fig. 5) to the right to the edge of the screen according to the polyline and then turn back and drag the "weather" application icon to the fingerprint identification area (i.e., 32 in fig. 5), and in the case that the drag trajectory matches the preset graphic polyline (i.e., the second preset graphic), the electronic device uninstalls the "weather" application (i.e., the second operation).

It should be noted that the first operation and the second operation in the embodiment of the present invention include, but are not limited to, the above operations, for example, the above first operation or the second operation may also be to switch a target application running in the background to run in the foreground.

The application program control method provided by the embodiment of the invention can be applied to scenes of executing different operations according to different input graphs, and enables the steps of starting and uninstalling the electronic equipment to be simpler and more convenient and to have high efficiency under the condition of ensuring the safety of the electronic equipment.

Further optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, besides relying on the above-mentioned input graphics and dragging the target application icon to the target area, the security of the electronic device may be further improved according to other manners.

Illustratively, the step 202a may specifically include the following step 202a 1:

step 202a 1: and under the condition that the input graph is matched with a first preset graph and the first biological characteristic information of the user is matched with the first preset biological characteristic information, the electronic equipment executes a first operation corresponding to the first preset graph and the first preset biological characteristic information on the target application program.

Illustratively, the step 202b may specifically include the following step 202b 1:

step 202b 1: and under the condition that the input graph is matched with a second preset graph and second biological characteristic information of the user is matched with the second preset biological characteristic information, the electronic equipment executes second operation corresponding to the second preset graph and the second preset biological characteristic information on the target application program.

For example, whether the input graph is matched with the preset graph or not and whether the sequence of matching the biological characteristic information of the user with the preset biological characteristic information or not are not obvious, the electronic device may first judge whether the input graph is matched with the preset graph or not, then judge whether the biological characteristic information of the user is matched with the preset biological characteristic information or not, or first judge whether the biological characteristic information of the user is matched with the preset biological characteristic information or not, then judge whether the input graph is matched with the preset graph or not, and also judge whether the biological characteristic information of the user is matched with the preset biological characteristic information or not while judging whether the input graph is matched with the preset graph or not, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present invention.

Illustratively, the biometric information in the embodiment of the present invention may include at least one of: fingerprint, face, voiceprint, iris, pose, which are not limited in the embodiments of the present invention.

For example, the first biometric information and the second biometric information may be the same biometric information or different biometric information, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

For example, the first biometric information and the second biometric information are different biometric information, and may include: the same type of biometric information (for example, the first biometric information is a fingerprint of the finger 1, and the second biometric information is a fingerprint of the finger 2), or different types of biometric information (for example, the first biometric information is a fingerprint, and the second biometric information is a human face), which is not limited by the embodiment of the present invention.

For example, taking the target area as the fingerprint identification area and the biometric information as the fingerprint, if the user wants to trigger the electronic device to start the "weather" application, referring to fig. 4, if the user wants to trigger the electronic device to start the "weather" application, the user may drag the "weather" application icon 41 into the fingerprint identification area 32 by using the finger 1 according to a straight line. At this time, the electronic device obtains the fingerprint of the finger 1 of the user (i.e. the first biometric information mentioned above), and starts the "weather" application program (i.e. the first operation mentioned above) when the dragging track matches with the preset graph straight line (i.e. the first preset graph mentioned above) and the fingerprint of the finger 1 of the user matches with the first preset biometric information. Referring to fig. 5, if the user wants to trigger the electronic device to uninstall the "weather" application, the user can drag the "weather" application icon 41 to the right to the edge of the screen and then turn back to the fingerprint identification area 32 by using the finger 2 according to the broken line. At this time, the electronic device obtains the fingerprint of the finger 2 of the user (i.e. the second biometric information mentioned above), and unloads the "weather" application (i.e. the second operation mentioned above) when the dragging track matches the predetermined graph broken line (i.e. the second predetermined graph mentioned above) and the fingerprint of the finger 2 of the user matches the second predetermined biometric information.

The application program control method provided by the embodiment of the invention can be applied to scenes that the safety of the electronic equipment is further improved by other modes, and the safety of the electronic equipment can be further improved by increasing the matching of the biological characteristics of the user.

It should be noted that the first preset biometric information and the second preset biometric information are pre-stored in the electronic device. At least one preset biometric information may be stored in the electronic device.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, to avoid that the user triggers the current operation of the electronic device to be an incorrect operation, the electronic device may prompt the user of the current operation.

Illustratively, the method may further include the step 203 of:

step 203: after the first input is finished, the electronic equipment displays the target identification in the target area.

It is to be understood that the above-mentioned after the first input is ended may be after the first input is ended, which means that the user ends the first input.

Illustratively, the target identifier is used for indicating an operation corresponding to the input pattern.

Illustratively, the target identification may include at least one of: the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to the text and the drawings.

In example 1, if the target mark is a character, after the first input is finished, the electronic device displays a character "start application" in the target area.

Example 2, if the target mark is an icon, the electronic device displays the icon in the target area after the first input is finished. For example, in conjunction with fig. 5, if the user wants to trigger the electronic device to uninstall the "weather" application program, after the user drags the "weather" application icon 34 to the right along the broken line to the edge of the screen and then turns back to drag the "weather" application icon to the fingerprint identification area 32, as shown in fig. 6, a "trash can" icon (i.e. the above-mentioned target identifier, such as 51 in fig. 6) is displayed on the fingerprint identification area (i.e. 32 in fig. 6) on the screen (i.e. 31 in fig. 6) of the electronic device.

The application program control method provided by the embodiment of the invention can be applied to a scene for prompting the current operation of the user, and the current operation of the user is prompted by displaying the target identification of the operation corresponding to the input graph indicated by the user in the target area, so that the misoperation of triggering the electronic equipment by the user is avoided.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, the starting the target application may include starting an encrypted target application.

For example, the electronic device in the embodiment of the present invention includes two methods for starting the target application program, and in addition to the starting of the target application program in the embodiment of the present invention, the method further includes that the user clicks the target application icon to start the target application program corresponding to the target application icon (i.e., "normal start").

For example, the application data of the target application program may be divided into public data and encrypted data, when the user or another user clicks the target application icon to start the target application program, the electronic device reads the public data (i.e., data that can be viewed by both the user and another user), and when the user drags the target application icon to the target area and triggers the electronic device to start the target application program according to the input graph, the electronic device reads the encrypted data.

It should be noted that the encrypted data is stored in the data storage sandbox of the target application program, and the electronic device loads the specific application data (i.e., the encrypted data) in the data storage sandbox for operation after the application program is started.

For example, taking the target area as the fingerprint identification area, with reference to (a) in fig. 3, when an arbitrary user wants to view the public data in the "information" application program, the arbitrary user may directly click the "information" application icon, that is, the "information" application program may be started, and then view the public data. When the user wants to view the encrypted data in the "info" application, the "info" application icon may be pressed for up to 3 seconds when pressed. At this time, as shown in (b) of fig. 3, the electronic device controls 8 application icons to be in a draggable state, and displays a fingerprint identification icon 33 in the fingerprint identification area 32. As shown in fig. 7, the user may drag the "information" application icon (i.e., 61 in fig. 7) to the fingerprint identification area (i.e., 32 in fig. 7) according to a straight line, at this time, the electronic device displays a "private start" function identifier (i.e., 62 in fig. 7) on the fingerprint identification area 32, and obtains the fingerprint of the user, and when the dragging track matches the straight line of the preset graph and the fingerprint of the user matches the preset fingerprint, the electronic device starts a private start procedure of the "information" application program, and after the "information" application program is started, the electronic device loads the encrypted data under the data storage sandbox of the "information" application program to run, so that the user may view the encrypted data, and other users cannot view the encrypted data.

It should be noted that the electronic device may read the public data at the same time as the encrypted data.

Compared with the scheme that the application program is encrypted in the related technology 1, password authentication is needed when the application program is started every time, and the scheme that the application program needs to be switched back and forth between the visitor mode and the normal mode in the related technology 2, the application program control method provided by the embodiment of the invention keeps a common starting mode that the application program can be started by directly clicking an application icon, a user does not need to carry out identity authentication every time, only when the user wants to check encrypted data, the user needs to operate, and the mode similar to the visitor mode for switching back and forth between systems is not needed, so that the steps of starting the application program and checking the encrypted data by the electronic equipment are simple and convenient, the efficiency is high, and the safety of the electronic equipment is improved.

For example, the encrypted data may be all data in the target application after private startup, or may be data that the user triggers the electronic device to encrypt.

In one example, the encrypted data is data that a user triggers the electronic device to encrypt. For example, an interface of a "contact" application is displayed on a screen of the electronic device, and 2 contact icons, namely a "contact a" icon and a "contact B" icon, are displayed on the interface. If the user wishes to set the information of contact a as encrypted data via the electronic device, the user may double-click the "contact a" icon. At this time, the electronic device may pop up a window, where the window displays two options, namely an "encryption" option and a "cancellation" option, and when the user clicks the "encryption" option, the electronic device is triggered to set the information of the contact a as encrypted data and store the encrypted data in the data storage sandbox corresponding to the "contact" application program.
