DETAILED DESCRIPTION

To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the disclosure more clear, the following will clearly and completely describe the embodiments of the disclosure with reference to the drawings.

It should be noted that, the expression of “first” and “second” in the embodiments of present disclosure are used to distinguish two different entities or non-identical parameters with the same name. Hence, the expressions of “first” and “second” are only for the convenience of description and should not be construed as the limit to the embodiments of the present disclosure. This is not repeated hereafter in the following embodiments.

Fig. 1 is a flow schematic diagram of A method for managing account number in a first embodiment of the present disclosure, which is applied to a server, and the method for managing account number comprises Steps 101-107 as below.

Step 101: information on a successful logging on an account number is received, and a face recognition command is sent.

The logging on of a family account number is taken as an example, in which a user firstly logs on by the account number, and the face recognition instruction is sent to a terminal after the logging on is successful； that is, a role under such an account number logs on.

Step 102: face information is received and a current role of a current user is determined according to a preset account number-role table.

In the embodiment, the step 102 specifically comprises: receiving face information sent from a terminal, searching for the face information in the preset family account number-role table, wherein the logging on is successful if the face information is searched out, otherwise the logging on fails, and a corresponding relation between role information and the face information is stored in the account number-role table.

In an embodiment, the upper level role can set a time period of a logging on video network application platform for the lower level role, such that the time that the lower level role views the video file is controlled. For example, the upper level role is parents, the lower level role is children, and the parents control the children to log on to view videos only from 12:00 p.m. to 13: 00 p.m. The specific implementing process comprises: obtaining current time when a logging on time period set for the current role by the upper level role exists, and determining whether the current time is in the logging on time period, wherein according to a determining result, the logging on is successful if the determining result is yes, otherwise the logging on fails

Further, the upper level role can also set time when the lower level role views the video file. That is to say, the upper level role can set the time length that the lower level role views the video file. For example, only 2 hours are allowed for viewing in one day. The specific implementing process comprises: determining whether time for viewing the video file set by the upper level role for the current role exists； if the determining result is yes, according to a determining result, sending the time of viewing the video file and issuing a monitoring process starting instruction； otherwise performing no operation.

Step 103: whether a video file that an upper level role designates the current role to view exists is determined； if the determining result is yes, step 104 is performed, and if the determining result is no, step 105 is performed.

In the present embodiment, the upper level role can designate the video file that the lower level role views； that is, after logging on the video network application platform, the lower level role only views the video file designated by the upper level role and is not allowed to view other video files. For example, the upper level role is parents, the lower level role is children, and the parents designate the children to view teaching video files while not allowing viewing of other video files.

Step 104: the video file is pushed and then quit the process.

Step 105: video viewing limit information set for the current role by the upper level role is obtained when a request instruction that the current role opens the video file is received； whether video information of the video file comprises the limit information is determined； step 106 is performed if the determining result is yes； and step 107 is performed if the determining result is no.

In the present embodiment, the upper level role can set video viewing limit information for the lower level role, wherein the video viewing limit information can be types, countries, etc, of the video file that is not allowed to view. For example, the type of the video file that is not allowed to view set in the video viewing limit information is horror movie. When the request instruction that the role opens the video file is received, whether the type in the video information of the video file is the horror movie or not is determined. The step 106 is performed if the determining result is yes； otherwise the step 107 is performed. Therefore, the upper level role of the present embodiment can control the video content that the lower level role views.

Step 106: the video file is prohibited to be opened and then quit the process.

Step 107: the video file is pushed and then quit the process.

In addition, level information is also stored in the account number-role table. It is noted that after the step 102 is executed, a request that the current role opens information of other roles is received. The specific implementing process comprises: determining whether the level of the current role is higher than those of other roles, and pushing the information of the other roles if the determining result is yes. Therefore, the lower level role can be limited from knowing basic information of the upper level role, and the basic information of the upper level role is protected.

It is explained that after the user role is determined according to the preset family account number-role table in step 102, a request instruction that the current role deletes a historical record is received. The specific implementing process comprises: determining whether information not allowing deletion of the historical record exists in a video editing limiting table when the video editing limiting table set for the current role by the upper level role exists； according to a determining result, keeping the historical record if the determining result is yes and deleting the historical record if the determining result is no. Therefore, a case that the lower level role does not want the upper level role to see the historical record and deletes the historical record on purpose is prevented. For example, the lower level role is children, the upper level role is parents of the children, and the parents do not allow the children to delete the video viewing historical record.

It is further explained that video editing limiting can be set to various pieces of contents, in addition to deletion of historical records, in the video editing limiting table. For example, the video file that is not allowed to cache etc., are set in the video editing limiting table.

As a referable embodiment, referring to Fig. 2, the method for managing account number may adopt the following steps, specifically:

Step 201: sending a face recognition command when information on a successful logging on an account number is received；

Step 202: receiving face information and determining a current role of a current user according to a preset account number-role table；

Step 203: obtaining current time when a logging on time period set for the current role by the upper level role exists；

Step 204: determining whether the current time is in the logging on time period, performing step 205 if the determining result is yes, otherwise performing step 206；

Step 205: performing step 207 if logging on is successful；

Step 206: quitting the process if the logging on fails；

Step 207: determining whether time for viewing the video file set by the upper level role for the current role exists； performing step 208 and then step 209 if the determining result is yes, and performing step 209 directly if not；

Step 208: sending the time of viewing the video file and issuing a monitoring process starting instruction；

Step 209: determining whether a video file that an upper level role designates the current role to view exists； performing step 210 if the determining result is yes, and performing step 211 if not；

Step 210: pushing the video file and quitting the process；

Step 211: obtaining video viewing limit information set for the current role by the upper level role when a request instruction that the current role opens the video file is received； determining whether video information of the video file comprises the limit information； performing step 212 if the determining result is yes, and performing step 213 if not；

Step 212: prohibiting opening of the video file and quitting the process； and

Step 213: pushing the video file and quitting the process.

In another embodiment, role level information may be stored in the account number-role table. After the step 205 is executed, a request instruction that the current role opens information of other roles is received. The specific implementing process comprises: determining whether the level of the current role is higher than those of other roles according to the account number-role table； if the determining result is yes, pushing the information of the other roles to the current role according to a determining result.

Besides, after the step 205 is executed, a request instruction that the current role deletes a historical record is received. The specific implementing process comprises: determining whether information on not allowing deletion of the historical record exists in a video editing limiting table when the video editing limiting table set for the current role by the upper level role exists. According to a result of the determining, keeping the historical record if the determining result is yes, or deleting the historical record if not.

Then, it is determined whether video information of the video file comprises the limit information, and prohibit opening of the video file if the determining result is yes, or push the video file if not.

In one embodiment, the role logging on unit 302 is further configured to obtain current time when a logging on time period set for the current role by the upper level role exists, and then determine whether the current time is in the logging on time period. If yes, the logging on is successful, otherwise the logging on fails.

Further, the logging on managing unit 303 can set time for viewing the video file set for the lower level role by the upper level role for the current role. The specific implementing process comprises: determining whether time for viewing the video file set by the upper level role for the current role exists； according to a determining result, sending the time of viewing the video file and issuing a monitoring process starting instruction if the determining result is yes, otherwise performing no operation.
