According to an embodiment, the processor 120 determines, from at least one account information associated with the application, whether a social account capable of supporting a social login function (or social login service) based on account information of a social application exists for the application. You can judge (or analyze).

According to an embodiment, the processor 120 may operate to determine whether a social account exists from account information related to an application based on a specified condition. In one embodiment, the specified conditions may include various determination conditions for distinguishing social accounts as follows, and the electronic device 101 may distinguish social accounts by any one or combination of these various determination conditions. .

According to an embodiment, a user may log in to an application using account information of the application itself, or may log in to an application using social account information. In this case, two account information may be set in relation to the application. For example, the two account information for an application have the same unique value (e.g., package name and/or package signature) that can distinguish the application, but the web domain that leads to the login screen. (web domain) address (or link address) (e.g. uniform resource identifier (URI) or uniform resource locator (URL)) is different (e.g. the web domain address field has a different value or contains no value) can include

According to one embodiment, the processor 120 determines that a web domain address corresponding to a unique value related to an application capable of distinguishing an application is different from a web domain address corresponding to a unique value of the same application previously stored in the database 200. or, if there is no web domain address corresponding to the shared value of the same application, it may be determined that the application includes a social account capable of supporting a social log-in function.

For example, the processor 120 may determine the account information of the item with the web domain address as a social account when there exists an item with the same unique value of the application but no web domain address in relation to the application. For example, if the first application has an A-specific value, a B address corresponding to the A-specific value, and a C-address (or null) corresponding to the A-specific value and the A-specific value, the processor 120 may generate the A-specific value. Based on the B address corresponding to , it may be determined that the first application includes a social account.

According to another embodiment, the processor 120 determines that the web domain address corresponding to the unique value of the application obtained from the application on the login screen is different from the web domain address corresponding to the same unique value stored in the database 200 or does not exist. Otherwise, if there is another unique value (eg, unique value of another application) stored in the same web domain address in the database 200, it can be determined that the application includes a social account capable of supporting the social login function. . For example, the first web domain address corresponding to the first unique value for the first application is different from the second web domain address corresponding to the first unique value stored in the database 200, or the first unique value. The second web domain address corresponding to may not exist. In this case, the processor 120, when there is a second unique value item of the second application having the same first web domain address but different from the first unique value of the first application in the database 200, the corresponding first web domain address The web domain address may be determined as a web domain address corresponding to a social account login screen.

For example, the first application has a unique value A and a B address corresponding to the unique value A are different from a C address corresponding to the same unique value A previously stored in the database 200, or there is no corresponding web domain address. In the database 200, the second application may have a unique value D different from the unique value A of the first application, and an identical B address identical to the B address of the first application. The processor 120 determines whether the web domain address corresponding to the A-specific value of the first application is different from the web domain address corresponding to the same A-specific value stored in the database 200 or the corresponding web domain address does not exist. , Identifying a second application (eg, a second unique value of the second application) having the same web domain address in the database 200, and if the second application is identified, based on the same web domain address of the second application It may be determined that the first application includes a social account.

According to an embodiment, the processor 120 communicates with a separate server (eg, a cloud server) to separately manage the web domain address for the social login function, and determines whether the corresponding web domain address is a social account from the server 108. If a positive response is received, it may be determined that the application includes a social account capable of supporting a social log-in function.

According to an embodiment, an operation of determining whether a social log-in function based on account information (eg, a social account or social account information) of a social application for an application will be described below.

According to an embodiment, if the application includes social account information, the processor 120 may control an operation related to providing a usable social application and its social account information to a user on a login screen.

According to an embodiment, the processor 120 stores account information (eg, ID and password) entered by a user when logging in from an application for each application, and logs in the application when a trigger for executing a log-in function is detected. Extract account information used for the function, determine whether the extracted account information includes social account information of the application and other social applications, and if it includes social account information, the social application available on the login screen and its social account information It can operate to provide to the user.

According to an embodiment, the processor 120 may include a component (or module) (not shown) for storing and/or providing account information for a login function according to various embodiments of the present disclosure. For example, the processor 120 may include an account management function (eg, an account autocomplete function). According to one embodiment, the account management function is included in processor 120 as a hardware module (eg, circuitry) and/or implemented as software including one or more instructions executable by processor 120. It can be. For example, operations performed by the processor 120 may be executed by instructions stored in the memory 130 and causing the processor 120 to operate when executed.

3 is a diagram for explaining an example of providing an auto-completion function for account information in an electronic device according to an exemplary embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 3 , example <301> shows an example of a login screen (or login page or view) of a first application (eg, App1), and example <307> shows an example of a second application (eg, App2). An example of a login screen of can be shown. In one embodiment, a login screen for each application may be different according to a user interface provided by the application. According to an embodiment, when the electronic device 101 executes an application according to a user request or detects a user input for logging in to an application in an executed application, the display module 160 displays a log-in screen of a corresponding application. ) can be displayed.

When the login screen is displayed through the display module 160 of the electronic device 101, as in example <301> or example <307>, the user enters the account information field 300 (eg, ID input field 310) on the login screen. ) and password input field 320), account information may be input. In one embodiment, the account information is related to a string specified by the user so that the corresponding application can prove the user's identity, and may include, for example, an ID (ID) and a password (PW). there is. The user may request the electronic device 101 to log in based on the input account information based on inputting account information through the account information field 300 and selecting (eg, touching) the login button 330. .

When the electronic device 101 detects user input by the login button 330 on the login screen, it can authenticate the account information entered into the account information field 300, and when the input account information is normally authenticated, A corresponding application may be logged in, and an execution screen of the logged-in application may be displayed through the display module 160 .

Meanwhile, the user may set account information identically or differently for each application. For example, a user sets first account information (eg, a first ID and a first password) through a login screen of a first application (eg, App1) as in example <301>, and as in example <307>. Second account information (eg, a second ID and a second password) may be set through the login screen of the second application (eg, App2). According to an embodiment, the first account information for the first application and the second account information for the second application may be composed of the same information or different information by the user.

When the electronic device 101 detects a request to set account information specified by the user on the login screen of the application, the account information field ( 300) (eg, ID input field 310 and password input field 320) input account information (eg ID and password) into the memory 130 (eg account management) of the electronic device 101 It can be stored and managed in the designated database 200). In one embodiment, when the electronic device 101 stores the account information in the database 200, the account information and a unique value of the application for which the account information is set (eg, package name and/or package signature) )) and/or reference information such as a web domain address may be mapped and stored as mapping information 350 and 360 .

For example, when the first account information is set for the first application (eg, App1) of example <301>, the electronic device 101 provides first mapping information for the first application in example <303>. (350) can be stored in the database (200). For example, the electronic device 101 may include a first package name (eg “packageName: com.xxxx”), a first web domain address (eg “webDomain: null”), and a first ID (eg “ID: johnnyKim”) and the first password (eg, “PW: wnislrla!”) may be mapped and stored in the database 200 . Here, the field of the first web domain address may represent a state without data (eg, a stored value), and may be represented as “null” for understanding. For another example, when the second account information is set for the second application (eg, App2) of example <307>, the electronic device 101 performs second mapping for the second application in example <309>. Information 360 may be stored in database 200 . For example, the electronic device 101 may include a second package name (eg, “packageName: com.yyyy”), a second web domain address (eg, “webDomain: login.yyyy.co.kr”), and a second ID. (eg, “ID: johnny”) and a second password (eg, “PW: wnislrla12!@”) may be mapped and stored in the database 200. In one embodiment, when there is no web domain address as in the case of the first application, the field related to the web domain address (eg, the “webDomain:” field of example <303>) is stored in the database 200 without data. It can be.

After the account information for the application is set, the electronic device 101 when the user gives focus to the account information field 300 in the corresponding application (eg, detects selection of the account information field 300) ), account information (eg, ID and password) stored in advance in the database 200 by the account management function may be automatically input (or automatically completed) into the account information field 300 and provided to the user.

When the electronic device 101 automatically inputs account information into the account information field 300, the electronic device 101 refers to reference information (eg, package name and/or web domain address) of a corresponding application, and transmits the corresponding account information to the account information field. (300) can be automatically entered and recommended to the user.

For example, with respect to the first application of example <301>, the electronic device 101 refers to first reference information (eg, a first package name and a first web domain address), and in the example of example <305> , First account information (eg, a first ID and a first password) may be automatically completed in the account information field 300 and provided to the user. As another example, for the second application of Example <307>, the electronic device 101 refers to the second reference information (eg, the second package name and the second web domain address), , second account information (eg, a second ID and a second password) may be automatically completed in the account information field 300 and provided to the user.

Meanwhile, the recent electronic device 101 may provide a login screen by linking a social account of a social application separately from account information of an application. For example, when a login screen of an application is provided, a login function by social accounts of various types of social applications (eg, google, facebook, twitter, apple, naver, and/or kakao) may be provided. For example, a user may execute a login function by a social account of a corresponding social application by using the social login execution object 370 (eg, an application icon). However, when logging in to an application using a social account through an account management function (eg, an account auto-completion function), the electronic device 101 provides simple reference information (eg, package name and/or web domain address). Referring to, when any one of the items matches, the corresponding account information is recommended. Therefore, even if the login function (e.g., social login function) by the social account of the actual social application is possible, if there is no matching item, it may not be able to provide a recommendation by automatically entering account information, or may recommend incorrect account information. can

In addition, since one application provides a log-in function in conjunction with various types of social accounts, it may be difficult for a user to determine whether the corresponding application uses account information of the application itself or a linked social account. Alternatively, even if the user uses a social account, it may be difficult to remember which type of social account from among various types of social application social accounts was used to use the log-in function.

For example, it may be assumed that the database 200 of the electronic device 101 stores A-th account information of the A-th application, B-th account information of the B-th application, and C-th account information of the C-th application. In addition, in the case of application A, it may be assumed that the account information (eg, social account) of the application C (eg, social application) is connected (or a login function is set) separately from the account information of account A. . However, even if the user enters the login screen of application A in the above state and gives focus to the account information field 300, only the account information of application A is available in the current electronic device 101 or its account management function. can provide For example, information (eg, a guide) indicating that a third account information (eg, social account) connected to the Cth application is stored on the login screen of the Ath application is not provided. In addition, when the user sets the login function with the Cth account information in the Ath application and enters the login screen of the Bth application to which the Cth account information of the Cth application is not connected, the current electronic device 101 or In its account management function, although the user has no associated C-th account information in the B-th application, login by the C-th account information of the C-th application can be recommended. In this case, even if the user attempts to log in using the recommended account information of C, the log in of application B fails, and the user may perform unnecessary and repetitive log in operations.
