2 is a flowchart of a method for an anti-theft method 200 for an electronic device 100 according to a first embodiment of the present application. The anti-theft method 200 of the electronic device 100 includes the following steps:

Step S10, generating a corresponding touch signal in response to a touch action of the finger on the touch sensing unit 10;

It can be understood that when the user touches the electronic device 100, the touch action generated is different because of different habits. The touch action may be a touch point formed by the finger on the electronic device 100, a sliding track formed when the finger touches the electronic device 100, or a combination of the touch point and the sliding track. For example, a person is accustomed to touching the electronic device 100 with his right hand. During the touch, the right thumb pushes down the upper end of the electronic device 100, and the remaining four fingers hold the electronic device 100.

In step S10, after the user's finger touches the electronic device 100, the touch sensing unit 10 on the casing of the electronic device 100 immediately senses the touch action of the human finger and converts it into a corresponding touch signal and transmits it to the processing unit 30 for further processing. deal with. The touch signal includes information such as the number of generated touch points, a direction, a position distribution, and the like, and the touch signal is transmitted in the form of an electrical signal.

Step S20, determining a touch gesture of the user according to the touch signal;

Step S30, determining whether the touch gesture meets a preset condition;

The preset condition may be a touch action that is specifically set by the user on the storage unit 20, and the processing unit 30 compares the touch action acquired by the touch sensing unit 10 with a preset condition stored by the storage unit 20, For example, the number, direction, and position distribution of touch points are consistent with preset conditions.

Step S40: triggering, by the electronic device 100, an alarm prompt when the touch gesture does not meet the preset condition.

Specifically, when the processing unit 30 compares the touch action acquired by the touch sensing unit 10 with a preset condition, and determines that the touch action is inconsistent with the preset condition, the processing unit 30 immediately triggers the electronic device. The alarm unit in 100 issues an alarm prompt to remind the user to take corresponding measures to reduce the loss.

The alarm prompt may include at least one of an audible alarm prompt, a light flashing prompt, and a short message prompt. It can be understood that the audible alarm prompt can be an alarm sound, a preset voice (for example, a "snack" vocal), a preset specific ringtone (such as an ad hoc song), etc.; The flashing light may be blinking for a certain frequency or for a long time; the short message prompt may be that the electronic device 100 sends a short message prompt to a specific user by using a short message, for example, to a preset contact (relatives, friends , 110, etc.) send a short message.

In the embodiment, by analyzing the touch action when the user touches the electronic device 100, when determining that the electronic device 100 is stolen, the alarm reminder is given in time, so that the real user can use the alarm information to discover the electronic device 100 in time. Theft, taking measures, thereby reducing the possibility of the electronic device 100 being stolen, effectively avoiding the loss of the user.

In the second embodiment, when the processing unit 30 determines that the touch gesture does not meet the preset condition, that is, the user electronic device 100 determines that the user is stolen, in addition to triggering the alarm unit to alert the user to take measures, and at the same time, for better The user's benefit is protected, the user's personal information in the electronic device 100 is prevented from being stolen or leaked, and the user's loss is reduced. The alarm reminder and the double protection mode of the electronic device 100 can be used. Specifically, in an embodiment, after the electronic device 100 is stolen and an alarm prompt is issued, the electronic device 100 immediately communicates with the server through the communication unit 40 in a wired or wireless manner, and sends a lock to the server. Or the signal of the electronic device 100 is turned off. After the server receives the lock signal, the operating system in the electronic device 100 can be locked by remote operation to prevent the thief from using the personal information of the user in the electronic device 100 or an account such as various social software or bank card accounts to implement illegal behavior. Or maliciously tampering with the user's account password, impairing the user's interests and the security of the information account. In other embodiments, even the operation can directly shut down the electronic device 100 by remotely to prevent information leakage while improving the security of the electronic device 100.

Further, referring to FIG. 3, in the second embodiment, after the step S40, the method may further include step S420:

The operating system of the electronic device 100 is locked to prohibit operation of the electronic device 100.

Specifically, a lock value may be implanted in the booting process (BOOT system) of the electronic device 100 to control the electronic device 100 to directly disable the operating system of the electronic device 100 when the electronic device 100 is turned on, thereby locking the electronic device. The operating system of 100 prohibits the operation of the electronic device 100. In another optional embodiment, the operating system of the electronic device 100 may be locked by setting a lock screen password or the like in the electronic device 100, and when the input password is incorrect, the operating system of the electronic device 100 is locked. Make the current user unable to use the electronic device normally.

Optionally, in the second embodiment, after the step S40, the method may further include:

Step S430, deleting sensitive information such as a user social account, a bank account number, and a password on the electronic device 100. In order to prevent the thief from using the user's account information, the user's information security can be guaranteed in time.

It can be understood that, in other embodiments, step S410, step S420, and step S430 in the second embodiment may be performed in parallel, or may be performed in sequence, or only one of the steps may be performed.

Please refer to FIG. 4 , which is a flowchart of a method for the anti-theft method 202 of the electronic device 100 in the third embodiment of the present application. In the third embodiment, the step S10, the step S20, the step S30 and the step 40 of the anti-theft method 202 of the electronic device 100 are the same as those in the first embodiment, and are not described herein again; the difference is that the steps are Step S41 is further included after S30:

When the touch gesture does not meet the preset condition, the camera is turned on to take a photo of the current user's face, and the photo is uploaded to the server.

It can be understood that, in this embodiment, the user can use the facial photos provided by the server to report to the relevant department, thereby improving the accuracy of the crime detection, and also facilitating the user to retrieve the stolen electronic device 100.

Further, in an embodiment, the preset condition may be a touch operation performed on a preset position of the touch sensing unit 10, and a touch of a preset touch track performed on the touch sensing unit 10 Operation, or a touch operation of a preset touch track performed by the user at a preset position of the touch sensing unit 10.

When the preset condition is a touch operation performed on a preset position of the touch sensing unit 10, the touch operation conforming to the preset condition may be a preset position of the touch sensing unit 10 a touch operation on the top; the preset condition is a touch operation of a preset touch track executed on the touch sensing unit 10, and a touch operation conforming to the preset condition may be performed on the touch sensing unit 10 Touch gesture operation, for example, delineating a preset pattern on the touch sensing unit 10; the preset condition is a touch operation of a preset touch track performed at a position preset by the touch sensing unit 10, The touch operation of the preset condition may be that a predetermined sliding operation is performed at a predetermined position on the touch sensing unit 10, for example, a straight line or a curve that is executed at a predetermined starting position is slid to a predetermined end position. Operate, or draw a preset pattern in the specified location area.
