Therefore, the present disclosure can achieve the above objects without affecting the fluency and convenience of the operation of the electronic device.

Please refer to Figure 1. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an electronic device 100 according to an embodiment of the disclosure. The electronic device 100 includes a touch screen 110, a sensing unit 120, a selection unit 130, a data unit 140, a verification unit 150, and an execution unit 160. The sensing unit 120 is coupled to the touch screen 110. The selecting unit 130 is coupled to the sensing unit 120. The verification unit 150 is coupled to the selecting unit 130, the data unit 140 and the touch screen 110, and the executing unit 160 is coupled to the verification unit 150. The electronic device 100 of the present disclosure may be a mobile phone, a PDA, a notebook or a tablet, or the like.

In the electronic device 100, the touch screen 110 is a device for providing output information and input information; the sensing unit 120 is configured to sense fingerprint data; the selecting unit 130 is configured to receive the selected information, wherein the selected information is used to select an application; The data unit 140 is configured to store preset data; when the application requires a security mechanism, the verification unit 150 is configured to compare the fingerprint data with the preset data; and when the fingerprint data matches the preset data, the executing unit 160 is configured to execute application. The sensing unit 120 is configured to continuously sense fingerprint data through the touch screen 110. The selecting unit 130 receives the selected information by using the touch screen 110.

When the user touches the touch screen 110 of the electronic device 100, the sensing unit 120 performs sensing of the fingerprint data, and the sensing unit 120 continues to perform the action of sensing the fingerprint and the fingerprint of the user. The information was taken down. When the user further selects the application icon on the touch screen 110 to execute, the selection unit 130 receives the selection information by using the touch screen 110, and the selection information is used to select an application corresponding to the application icon. . When the above application requires a security mechanism, the verification unit 150 compares the fingerprint data with the preset data stored in the data unit 140 in advance. When the fingerprint data matches the preset data, the execution unit 160 executes the application selected by the user.

For example, the application can be used to boot, unlock the screen, access the phone book, access the album, make calls, and the program set by the owner of the electronic device. The application has other applications not mentioned. Function, and not limited to this. The sensing unit 120, the selecting unit 130, the data unit 140, the verification unit 150, and the executing unit 160 may be a software, a hardware, a firmware, or a combination of the above. For example, the sensing unit 120 can be a fingerprint sensor or the like, and the data unit 140 can be a database, and the preset data can be preloaded in the database for one or several different predetermined fingerprint data.

Moreover, the verification unit 150 determines the security level of the application, and then compares the fingerprint data with the preset data corresponding to the security level. For example, the above security level can be divided into 1-5 total of 5 levels. The security level 1 is the lowest security level, which means no security mechanism is required, and the security level 5 is the highest security level, which means that the person with the highest authority is allowed to use. The security level of the application can be set as follows: the call can be set to the security level 5; the access album can be set to the security level 4; the access phone book can be set to the security level 3; the boot can be set to the security level 2; The screen lock can be set to security level 1. Corresponding relationships corresponding to the preset data of the above security level are as follows: security level 1 includes owner, family member, friend, colleague, and other users; security level 2 includes owner, family member, friend, and colleague; security level 3 includes owner , family and friends; security level 4 contains the owner and family members; and security level 5 corresponds to the owner of the electronic device. Among them, family, friends and colleagues refer to the relationship with the owner of this electronic device.

Taking the access album as an example, the security level is set to 4, which means that only the owner and the family can perform the function of accessing the album. When a user who is not a security level 4 clicks on the application that accesses the album, the user will not have permission to access the album. Moreover, the permission to access the album can be changed, the owner and the family can perform the function of accessing the album, and the rest of the users only have the right to read the album, but have no permission to archive and download the album. The above security level setting and the corresponding preset data setting are only illustrative examples in the embodiment, and are not limited to the scope of the disclosure.

When the application does not require a security mechanism, the execution unit 160 executes the application directly. For example, when the application selected by the user is to release the screen lock, since the security level in the above description is set to 1, indicating that the screen lock is not required to be released, the execution unit 160 directly releases the screen lock status. .

When the fingerprint data does not match the preset data, the touch screen prompts to prohibit the execution of the application information. When the verification unit 150 does not match the result of the fingerprint data with the preset data stored in the data unit 140 in advance, for example, when the friend in the above-described illustrated embodiment attempts to select an access album, since the friend does not The verification unit 150 determines that the result of the friend's fingerprint data is compared with the preset data, and then the verification unit 150 outputs a message to the touch screen 110 to prompt the friend to prohibit the execution of the deposit. Take the information of the album, indicating that there is no permission to execute this application.

Please refer to both Figure 1 and Figure 2. FIG. 2 is a flow chart of the security identification method 200 in an embodiment of the disclosure. The security identification method 200 can be applied to the electronic device 100 as shown in FIG. 1 or widely used in related technical aspects. The security identification method 200 includes the following steps (it should be understood that the steps mentioned in the present embodiment can be adjusted according to actual needs, and can be performed simultaneously or partially simultaneously, unless otherwise specified.) .

The fingerprint data is sensed in step 210. In this step, the fingerprint data is continuously sensed through the touch screen 110. That is, when the user touches the touch screen 110 of the electronic device 100, the sensing unit 120 continues to perform the action of sensing the fingerprint data behind the scenes and extracts the fingerprint data of the user.

After the fingerprint data is sensed in step 210, the selection information is received in step 220, and the selection information is received by the touch screen to select an application. When the user further selects the application icon on the touch screen 110 to execute, the selection unit 130 receives the selection information by using the touch screen 110, and the selection information is used to select an application corresponding to the application icon. .

In step 230, the system detects whether the application selected in step 220 requires a security mechanism, and whether the application requires a security mechanism depends on the security level preset by the application. When the application requires a security mechanism, step 250 is performed.

In step 250, when the application requires a security mechanism, the fingerprint data is compared with the preset data. That is, when the application requires a security mechanism, the verification unit 150 compares the fingerprint data with the preset data pre-stored in the data unit 140 for fingerprint security mechanism verification.

In step 260, according to the comparison procedure verified by the fingerprint security mechanism in step 250, when the fingerprint data matches the preset data, the determination proceeds to step 280.

In step 280, according to the determination result of step 260, when the fingerprint data matches the preset data, the application is executed. That is, the application selected by the user conforms to the identity of the user, so that the application can be executed through the execution unit 160.

In addition, in the fingerprint security mechanism verification process performed in step 250, the step of comparing the fingerprint data with the preset data includes: determining a security level of the application; and comparing the fingerprint data with the preset data corresponding to the security level. Taking the access album as an example, the security level is set to 4, which means that only the owner and the family can perform the function of accessing the album. When a user who is not a security level 4 clicks on the application that accesses the album, the user will not have permission to access the album. Moreover, the permission to access the album can be changed, the owner and the family can perform the function of accessing the album, and the rest of the users only have the right to read the album, but have no permission to archive and download the album.

If the system executed in step 230 requires a security mechanism, when the application does not need a security mechanism, step 240 is directly executed to execute the application. For example, when the application selected by the user is to release the screen lock, the execution unit 160 directly releases the screen lock state because the security level is set to 1, indicating that the screen lock is not required to be released.

In the determining procedure of whether the verification is performed in step 260, when the fingerprint data does not match the preset data, step 270 is executed, and the touch screen 110 prompts prohibiting execution of the application information. When the verification unit 150 compares the fingerprint data with the preset data stored in the data unit 140 in steps 250 and 260, for example, the friend in the above-described illustrated embodiment attempts to select an access album. When the friend does not belong to the setting authority of the security level 4, the verification unit 150 determines that the result of the friend's fingerprint data is compared with the preset data, and then the verification unit 150 outputs a message to the touch screen 110 for Prompt this friend to prohibit access to the information of the album, indicating that there is no permission to execute this application.

In summary, the advantage of the application of the present disclosure is that the fingerprint data is continuously sensed through the touch screen, so that when the user operates the electronic device, the fingerprint data is already captured by the sensing unit. The verification unit further compares the fingerprint data with the preset data, and performs a fingerprint security identification verification program in a state where the user does not consciously. Therefore, the present disclosure not only achieves the above objectives, but also does not affect the fluency and convenience of the operation of the electronic device, thereby achieving a user-friendly design of data security and user interface.

Although the present invention has been disclosed in the above embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention, and the present invention can be modified and modified without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
