Function control method and terminal

Technical field

The present application relates to the field of terminal technologies, and in particular, to a function control method and a terminal.

Background technique

Biometric technology refers to the close integration of computers with optical, acoustic, biosensor and biostatistical principles, using the inherent physiological characteristics of the human body (such as fingerprints, faces, irises, etc.) and behavioral features (such as handwriting, sound). , gait, etc.) to identify individuals.

Biometric technology has the advantages of being easy to forget, anti-counterfeiting performance, not easy to forge or stolen, "carrying" with you and being available anytime, anywhere. Therefore, biometric technology is widely used in terminals such as mobile phones.

However, in some special scenarios, it is precisely because of the convenience of the application of biometric technology that the user's private information is more easily leaked. For example, when the user sleeps, the mobile phone is stolen, and the thief can use the user's fingerprint to unlock the mobile phone to obtain the user's private information when the user has not woken up.

The following describes each functional component of the mobile phone 100:

The RF circuit 110 can be used for receiving and transmitting signals during the transmission and reception of information or during a call. Specifically, after receiving the downlink information of the base station, the RF 150 is processed by the processor 150. In addition, the uplink data is sent to the base station. Generally, the RF circuit 110 is not limited to an antenna, at least one amplifier, a transceiver, a coupler, a low noise amplifier (LNA), a duplexer, or the like. In addition, RF circuitry 110 can also communicate with the network and other devices via wireless communication. The wireless communication may use any communication standard or protocol, including but not limited to global system of mobile communication (GSM), general packet radio service (GPRS), code division multiple access (code) Division multiple access (CDMA), wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA), long term evolution (LTE), e-mail, short messaging service (SMS), and the like.

The memory 120 can be used to store software programs and modules that execute various functional applications and data processing of the handset 100 by running software programs and modules stored in the memory 120. The memory 120 may mainly include a storage program area and a storage data area, wherein the storage program area may store an operating system, an application (Application, APP) and the like required for at least one function, such as a sound playing function, an image playing function, and the like; and storing the data. The area may store data (such as audio data, image data, phone book, etc.) created according to the use of the mobile phone 100. In addition, the memory 120 may include high speed random access memory, and may also include non-volatile memory, such as at least one magnetic disk storage device, flash memory device, or other volatile solid state storage device.

The input unit 130 can be configured to receive numeric or character information input by the user, and to generate key signal inputs related to user settings and function control of the handset 100. Specifically, the input unit 130 may include a touch screen 131 and other input devices 132. The touch screen 131, also referred to as a touch panel, can collect touch operations on or near the user (such as the operation of the user using any suitable object or accessory on the touch screen 131 or near the touch screen 131 using a finger, a stylus, etc.), and The corresponding connecting device is driven according to a preset program. Alternatively, the touch screen 131 may include two parts of a touch detection device and a touch controller. Wherein, the touch detection device detects the touch orientation of the user, and detects a signal brought by the touch operation, and transmits the signal to the touch controller; the touch controller receives the touch information from the touch detection device, converts the touch information into contact coordinates, and sends the touch information. The processor 150 is provided and can receive commands from the processor 150 and execute them. In addition, the touch screen 131 can be implemented in various types such as resistive, capacitive, infrared, and surface acoustic waves. In addition to the touch screen 131, the input unit 130 may also include other input devices 132. Specifically, other input devices 132 may include, but are not limited to, one or more of a physical keyboard, function keys (such as volume control buttons, power switch buttons, etc.), trackballs, mice, joysticks, and the like.

The biometric sensor 140 specifically includes a fingerprint recognition sensor 141, a face recognition sensor 142, and an iris recognition sensor 143. Taking the fingerprint recognition sensor as an example, the fingerprint recognition sensor can collect the fingerprint information of the user and report the collected fingerprint information to the processor 150. The processor 150 identifies the user according to the fingerprint information. Based on the biometric sensor 140, the mobile phone can authenticate the user according to the fingerprint input by the user on the lock screen interface, and when the identity verification is successful, the mobile phone is unlocked. Based on the biometric sensor 140, the handset can also authenticate the user in certain payment applications, and when the authentication is successful, the user can use the payment application to make the payment.

The display unit 170 can be used to display information input by the user or information provided to the user and various menus of the mobile phone 100. The display unit 170 may include a display panel 171. Alternatively, the display panel 171 may be configured in the form of a liquid crystal display (LCD), an organic light-emitting diode (OLED), or the like. Further, the touch screen 131 may cover the display panel 171. When the touch screen 131 detects a touch operation on or near it, the touch screen 131 transmits to the processor 150 to determine the type of the touch event, and then the processor 150 displays the panel according to the type of the touch event. A corresponding visual output is provided on 171. Although the touch screen 131 and the display panel 171 are used as two separate components to implement the input and input functions of the mobile phone 100 in FIG. 1, in some embodiments, the touch screen 131 may be integrated with the display panel 171 to implement the mobile phone 100. Input and output functions.

A gravity sensor 180 can detect the magnitude of the acceleration of the mobile phone in various directions (usually three axes), and can detect the magnitude and direction of gravity when stationary, and can be used to identify the gesture of the mobile phone (such as horizontal and vertical screen switching, related Game, magnetometer attitude calibration), vibration recognition related functions (such as pedometer, tapping).

The handset 100 can also include other sensors, such as light sensors. In particular, the light sensor can include an ambient light sensor and a proximity light sensor. Among them, the ambient light sensor can be based on ambient light The brightness is adjusted to adjust the brightness of the display panel 131; the proximity light sensor can detect whether an object is approaching or contacting the mobile phone, and the display panel 131 and/or the backlight can be turned off when the mobile phone 100 moves to the ear. The mobile phone 100 can also be configured with other sensors such as a gyroscope, a barometer, a hygrometer, a thermometer, an infrared sensor, and the like, and will not be described herein.

The audio circuit 190, the speaker 191, and the microphone 192 can provide an audio interface between the user and the handset 100. The audio circuit 190 can transmit the converted electrical data of the received audio data to the speaker 191 for conversion to the sound signal output by the speaker 191; on the other hand, the microphone 192 converts the collected sound signal into an electrical signal by the audio circuit 190. After receiving, it is converted into audio data, and then the audio data is output to the RF circuit 110 for transmission to, for example, another mobile phone, or the audio data is output to the memory 120 for further processing.

The processor 150 is the control center of the handset 100, which connects various portions of the entire handset using various interfaces and lines, by running or executing software programs and/or modules stored in the memory 120, and recalling data stored in the memory 120, The various functions and processing data of the mobile phone 100 are executed to perform overall monitoring of the mobile phone. Optionally, the processor 150 may include one or more processing units; optionally, the processor 150 may integrate an application processor and a modem processor, where the application processor mainly processes an operating system, a user interface, and an application. Etc. The modem processor primarily handles wireless communications. It can be understood that the above modem processor may not be integrated into the processor 150.

The mobile phone 100 also includes a power source 160 (such as a battery) for supplying power to various components. Alternatively, the power source can be logically connected to the processor 150 through the power management system to manage functions such as charging, discharging, and power management through the power management system. .

Currently, more and more terminals support biometrics due to the convenience of biometrics. Taking the biometric identification as a fingerprint identification, more and more terminals support fingerprint unlocking, and payment applications such as Alipay and WeChat installed on the terminal also support identity verification by fingerprint. After the fingerprint verification succeeds, the user can make a payment. A terminal with biometrics is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, when using a terminal with biometric function, the user can implement fast authentication, which is convenient for the user to quickly unlock the terminal or pay quickly. On the other hand, in the following scenarios, the user's privacy information and the like are also easily leaked due to the convenience of the biometrics function.

Application scenario: When the user sleeps, the mobile phone is stolen. The thief can operate the user's finger to unlock the mobile phone to obtain the right to use the mobile phone when the user has not woken up, and then can view the account information and album of the payment application installed in the mobile phone. Privacy information such as photos, contacts, etc. Even the thief can use the user's fingerprint to perform fingerprint verification in the payment application, and perform illegal operations such as transfer after the fingerprint verification is successful.

In order to solve the problem that the user's private information is easily leaked or even caused in an emergency situation due to the convenience of biometric identification, the embodiment of the present application provides a function control method, which can be applied to the terminal shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 2, the method includes the following steps:

201. The terminal receives a first operation input by a user.

The first operation includes biometric feature information such as fingerprints and irises input by the user, and the user presses a specific physical button, specifically including clicking, double clicking, and pressing a specific physical button according to a certain rule, such as simultaneously pressing the volume up key. And reduce the keys, etc. The first operation also includes the user inputting a particular voice instruction, such as a voice command containing a particular word such as "lock". The first operation further includes the user inputting a preset gesture. The first operation further includes the user inputting a specific password, for example, the user inputs the first specific password for unlocking the terminal, and the user inputs the second specific password for triggering the terminal to disable the preset function. The first operation further includes the user moving the mobile phone or the like in a specific direction. The first operation may also be other shortcut operations, and the specific implementation of the first operation is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

It should be noted that the first operation is a shortcut operation for triggering the terminal to disable the preset function. This shortcut operation enables fast disabling of biometrics. Users do not need to set the terminal's "Settings" function option to disable the cumbersome operation caused by preset functions such as biometrics.

202. The terminal disables the preset function according to the first operation.

The preset function that is disabled includes a biometric recognition function, and the biometric recognition function specifically includes iris recognition, fingerprint recognition, face recognition, and the like. Taking the biometric identification function as a fingerprint recognition function as an example, the manner of disabling the fingerprint recognition function includes: mode 1. The terminal sets a fingerprint recognition sensor to prohibit the fingerprint sensor from working. For example, the terminal closes the fingerprint sensor, or the terminal supplies a small amount of power to the fingerprint recognition sensor, so that the fingerprint recognition sensor is in a standby state. In this manner, even if the user inputs a fingerprint and the fingerprint recognition sensor does not work, the user's fingerprint cannot be collected. Manner 2: The terminal modifies the system configuration file, so that the system configuration file includes indication information that the fingerprint identification function is disabled. When the fingerprint recognition function is disabled, the fingerprint recognition function is disabled. The specific implementation is as follows: the fingerprint sensor collects the fingerprint input by the user and reports the fingerprint to the processor. After receiving the fingerprint collected by the fingerprint sensor, the processor checks the system configuration file to determine that the current fingerprint recognition function of the terminal is disabled, and the processor does not operate the fingerprint sensor. The collected fingerprint is processed or the default upper layer application returns an indication that the authentication failed. For example, the user installs the "electronic wallet" payment application on the terminal. After the fingerprint recognition function is disabled, after the user inputs the fingerprint on the electronic wallet interface, the processor receives the fingerprint collected by the fingerprint sensor, checks the system configuration file, and determines the current terminal. If the fingerprint recognition function is disabled, the processor does not process the fingerprint collected by the fingerprint sensor or returns an indication of the authentication failure to the electronic wallet application. The application of the electronic wallet has not received the response of the processor or received the identity verification. In the case of a failure, the user cannot use fingerprint verification to quickly complete the authentication, and thus cannot open the wallet or use the payment of the e-wallet.

After the fingerprint recognition function is disabled, the user cannot use the fingerprint to quickly unlock the terminal for the terminal that supports fingerprint unlocking; for some applications that need to perform fingerprint verification to open or use certain functions, the user cannot use the fingerprint to quickly open the application or Use some features of this type of application. Then, when the application is in the above scenario 1, the illegal user cannot use the fingerprint of the user to perform fingerprint verification in the payment application, and only by inputting the password. Since passwords are generally composed of multiple digits, an illegal user needs to try to enter a password multiple times without knowing the password. Compared to illegal users using fingerprints to try to unlock, entering a password to try to unlock has a higher error rate and requires a longer time to try. Therefore, it is possible to extend the time when the terminal is unlocked, thereby giving the user a more sufficient struggle time.

In the function control method provided by the embodiment of the present application, the terminal disables the preset function including the biometric recognition function after receiving the shortcut operation (first operation) input by the user. In this way, in an emergency, the user can quickly disable the biometric function through the shortcut operation, thereby avoiding the problem that the privacy caused by the biometric identification function can be quickly disclosed.

Currently, there are more and more types of applications installed by users on the terminal. Taking a mobile phone as an example, a user may install various payment applications such as “Alipay” and “e-wallet” on the mobile phone. The payment class application generally stores information such as the user's account balance. Users may also install applications such as "Gallery", "WeChat", "QQ" on their mobile phones, which store information such as photos of users and chats with others. Users may also install game apps and so on based on their personal interests. In some application scenarios, during the process in which user 2 uses user 1 's terminal, user 1 does not want user 2 to view certain applications, such as not wanting the user to view the "gallery" application and the game-like application installed on the terminal. In order to protect the user's private information, in other implementations, the disabling the preset function further includes: the terminal disabling the preset application.

The preset application includes one or more applications that are preset by the user to be "disabled". The preset application also includes one or more types of applications that are pre-set by the user to be "disabled". Or the preset application includes the terminal setting some applications installed in the mobile phone as a privacy application by default, and after detecting the first operation input by the user, the terminal disables the privacy application by default. After the terminal disables the preset application by the first operation of the input, the terminal does not display the icon of the disabled application in the setting interface, the application management interface, or the homepage interface of the terminal. Therefore, after the preset application is disabled, from the perspective of the user, the terminal cuts off the interface for the user to operate the preset application, and the user may think that the preset application is not installed by the terminal.

In other implementation manners, after the terminal disables the preset program, the icons of the preset applications are displayed in gray on the terminal, and the terminal does not respond after the user clicks the application icon.

In a specific implementation, when the terminal receives the first operation input by the user, the terminal acquires a preset application list set by the user, and modifies a configuration file of the application in the preset application list to set the state of the application to be disabled.

Through the above method, the user can pre-set some applications installed on the terminal to the application that needs to be disabled, and when the terminal receives the shortcut operation of the user, disable the user-preset such while disabling the biometric function. An application that protects user privacy.

Optionally, before the terminal receives the first operation input by the user, if the terminal is in a lock screen state. After the terminal disables the preset function according to the first operation, the method further includes: the terminal is released from the lock screen state, and displaying the first interface, where the first interface does not include an icon of the disabled application.

Optionally, the terminal is in a lock screen state before the terminal receives the first operation input by the user. After the terminal disables the preset function according to the first operation, the method further includes: ending The terminal receives the first unlock password input by the user, and the first unlock password is used to release the lock screen state of the terminal. The terminal releases the lock screen state according to the first unlock password, and displays a first interface, where the first interface does not include an icon of the disabled application.

The first unlocking password may be a sliding gesture unlocking password, or may be an unlocking password composed of a string of numbers, letters, and the like.

It should be noted that the first interface does not refer to an interface currently displayed by the terminal after the terminal is unlocked, but refers to a general term of all interfaces for displaying an icon of an application installed in the terminal. When there are many applications installed in the terminal, it is limited to the terminal screen, and the current display portion of the first interface cannot present all the icons of the application to the user at the same time, and only a part of the application icons can be presented. The user needs to slide the first interface left or right or up and down to view icons of other applications.

With this implementation, if the user inputs the first operation when the terminal is in the lock screen state, the first operation can trigger the terminal to disable the preset function. Disabled features include biometrics, so biometrics are not available to users. Then, because the terminal is still in the lock screen state, the user needs to unlock the terminal by inputting an unlock password or the like. Similarly, the first interface displayed by the unlocked terminal does not include an icon of the disabled application.

Optionally, after the terminal “disables the preset function according to the first operation” in step 202, as shown in FIG. 3, the method further includes the following steps:

301. The terminal receives a second operation input by the user.

The second operation input by the user includes the user pressing a specific physical button, the user inputting a specific voice instruction, such as a voice instruction including a specific word such as “unlocking”, a user inputting a preset gesture, a user inputting a password, and the user is in a specific direction. Mobile phones, etc. The second operation may also be other shortcut operations, and the specific implementation of the second operation is not limited in the embodiment of the present application. Since the biometric function of the terminal has been disabled after the user inputs the first operation, the second operation does not include the operation of the user to input biometric features such as fingerprints. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific implementation of the second operation, and the second operation is used to trigger the terminal to resume the disabled function.

302. The terminal restores the preset function according to the second operation input by the user.

The recovery preset function includes the terminal enabling the biometric function.

Through the method shown in FIG. 3, after the user disables the preset function by the first operation, the terminal receives the second operation of the user and restores the disabled preset function according to the second operation.

Exemplarily, the second operation includes a second unlock password input by the user after the terminal releases the lock screen state and displays the first interface. Then, the terminal restores the biometric function and deactivates the disabled application according to the second unlock password, and displays the second interface. The second interface includes icons for all applications, including those that have been deactivated.

The second unlocking password may be the same as the foregoing first unlocking password. For example, the second unlocking password may be a sliding gesture in a nine-square format, or may be a password composed of characters such as numbers and letters. The second unlock password and the first unlock password may be the same gesture or character password, but the first unlock password and the second unlock password have different effects. Specifically, after the terminal function is disabled but in the lock screen state, the user inputs the first unlock password, and the purpose thereof is to trigger the terminal to unlock. After the terminal function is disabled but in the unlocked state, the user inputs the second unlocking password, the purpose of which is to trigger The terminal releases the disable of the disabled function.

The user can input the second unlock password in the setting menu.

The method further includes: the terminal receiving the third operation input by the user, and according to the third operation, releasing the lock screen state, displaying the second interface, where the second interface includes icons of all applications.

The third operation includes the user inputting specific biometric information, inputting a specific gesture, a specific password, a specific voice instruction, and the like. The implementation manner of the third operation and the first operation may be the same or different. For example, the first operation is the first preset biometric identification information, and the third operation is the second preset biometric identification information. Likewise, the first operation is a first specific password and the third operation is a second specific password. For another example, the first operation is preset biometric identification information, and the third operation is a specific password.

With this implementation, when the terminal is in the lock screen state, if the user inputs the first operation, the terminal disables the preset function. If the user inputs the third operation, the terminal is normally unlocked.

In the following embodiment, the terminal is a mobile phone, the first operation is a first preset fingerprint input by the user when the mobile phone is locked, and the second operation is a password input by the user after the mobile phone is unlocked, and the third operation is performed. The second preset fingerprint input when the user locks the screen state is taken as an example for description.

Before using the fingerprint to disable certain functions of the mobile phone, the user needs to enter a fingerprint to use as a reference fingerprint in the subsequent process. At present, mobile phones generally have a fingerprint unlocking function. Based on the user's usage habits and experience, the user first enters a fingerprint for unlocking the mobile phone when using the mobile phone. Considering that the user uses the fingerprint to disable certain functions of the mobile phone to provide new functions for the mobile phone, after the user enters the fingerprint for unlocking the mobile phone, the user is prompted to continue to enter the fingerprint for the mobile phone to disable certain functions (for convenience of description, the fingerprint is hereinafter described) Described as a function to disable fingerprints).
