Abstract

A method and a system for secured wireless communication are provided. The method for secured wireless communication includes connecting a first electronic device with a second electronic device via a network, detecting, by the second electronic device, a status of a particular mode of the second electronic device, and transmitting, to the first electronic device, a status of unsecured communication of the second electronic device according to the status of the particular mode of the second electronic device.

Claims

1. A method for secured wireless communication, the method comprising:

connecting a first electronic device with a second electronic device via a network;

detecting, by the second electronic device, a status of a particular mode of the second electronic device; and

transmitting, to the first electronic device, a status of unsecured communication of the second electronic device according to the status of the particular mode of the second electronic device.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the detecting of the status of the particular mode comprises:

detecting a switched-on/off status of a first mode indicating a speaker mode; and

detecting a switched-on/off status of a second mode indicating a voice recorder mode,

wherein the first mode and the second mode are included in the particular mode.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the transmitting to the first electronic device of the status of unsecured communication of the second electronic device comprises notifying the first electronic device of the status of unsecured communication if, in the second electronic device, a first mode is switched off and a second mode is switched on.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the transmitting to the first electronic device of the status of unsecured communication of the second electronic device comprises notifying the first electronic device of the status of unsecured communication if, in the second electronic device, a first mode is switched on and a second mode is switched off

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the transmitting to the first electronic device of the status of unsecured communication of the second electronic device comprises notifying the first electronic device of the status of unsecured communication if, in the second electronic device, a first mode is switched on and a second mode is switched on.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the transmitting to the first electronic device of the status of unsecured communication of the second electronic device comprises:

transmitting, by the second electronic device, the status of unsecured communication of the second electronic device to the first electronic device through a Short Message Service (SMS) or a General Packet Radio Service (GPRS),

wherein a status code representing a type of the unsecured communication of the second electronic device is stored in the SMS or the GPRS.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the status code comprises two digits, a first digit of which indicates a status of a first mode and a second digit of which indicates a status of a second mode.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the same platform is configured in the first electronic device and the second electronic device, and the platform of the second electronic device detects the status of the particular mode of the second electronic device.

9. The method of claim 1, further comprising indicating, by the first electronic device, the status of unsecured communication of the second electronic device upon receiving the status of unsecured communication of the second electronic device from the second electronic device.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein the indicating of the status of unsecured communication comprises displaying the status of unsecured communication.

11. The method of claim 10, wherein the displaying of the status of unsecured communication comprises:

determining, by the first electronic device, a type of the status of unsecured communication through a status code received from the second electronic device;

displaying that a voice recorder mode of the second electronic device is switched on, if the status code is “

01”

;

displaying that a speaker mode of the second electronic device is switched on, if the status code is “

10”

; and

displaying that the voice recorder mode and the speaker mode of the second electronic device are switched on, if the status code is “

11”

.

12. A system for secured wireless communication, the system comprising:

a first electronic device for receiving a status of unsecured communication of a second electronic device connected via a network; and

the second electronic device for detecting a status of a particular mode of the second electronic device and for transmitting the status of unsecured communication of the second electronic device to the first electronic device according to the status of the particular mode.

13. The system of claim 12, wherein the second electronic device detects a switched-on/off status of a first mode indicating a speaker mode and detects a switched-on/off status of a second mode indicating a voice recorder mode, the first mode and the second mode being included in the particular mode.

14. The system of claim 12, wherein the second electronic device notifies the first electronic device of the status of unsecured communication, if, in the second electronic device, at least one of a first mode is switched off and a second mode is switched on, the first mode is switched on and the second mode is switched off, and the first mode is switched on and the second mode is switched on.

15. The system of claim 12, wherein the second electronic device transmits the status of unsecured communication of the second electronic device to the first electronic device through a Short Message Service (SMS) or a General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), and a status code representing a type of the unsecured communication of the second electronic device is stored in the SMS or the GPRS.

16. The system of claim 15, wherein the status code comprises two digits, a first digit of which indicates a status of a first mode and a second digit of which indicates a status of a second mode.

17. The system of claim 12, wherein the same platform is configured in the first electronic device and the second electronic device, and the platform of the second electronic device detects the status of the particular mode of the second electronic device.

18. The system of claim 12, wherein the first electronic device indicates the status of unsecured communication of the second electronic device, upon receiving the status of unsecured communication of the second electronic device from the second electronic device.

19. The system of claim 18, wherein the first electronic device indicates the status of unsecured communication of the second electronic device displaying the status of unsecured communication of the second electronic device.

20. The system of claim 19, wherein the first electronic device determines a type of the status of unsecured communication through a status code received from the second electronic device, displays that a voice recorder mode of the second electronic device is switched on if the status code is “

01”

, displays that a speaker mode of the second electronic device is switched on if the status code is “

10”

, and displays that the voice recorder mode and the speaker mode of the second electronic device are switched on if the status code is “

11”

.
