Abstract

The present invention relates to the information security field and discloses an authentication method of a wearable device, and a wearable device. The authentication method includes: determining whether a user is a preset user of a wearable device; if the user is the preset user, acquiring verification information of an electronic device, where the verification information is used for authenticating the user by the electronic device; and sending the verification information to the electronic device.

Claims

1. An authentication method of a wearable device, comprising:

determining whether a user is a preset user of the wearable device;

if the user is the preset user, acquiring verification information of a target electronic device, wherein the verification information is used for authenticates the user by the target electronic device; and

sending the verification information to the target electronic device.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the determining whether the user is the preset user of the wearable device comprises:

acquiring a biological feature of the user; and

determining whether the biological feature is a preset feature, wherein, if the biological feature is the preset feature, it is determined that the user is the preset user.

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein the determining whether the user is the preset user comprises:

determining, at every preset time interval, whether the user is the preset user.

4. The method according to claim 1, wherein the method further comprises:

pre-storing the verification information in the wearable device during initialization, wherein the verification information is determined according to a right of the user.

5. The method according to claim 1, wherein the acquiring the verification information of the target electronic device comprises:

establishing a communication connection with a network server, and obtaining the verification information from the network server; and

the sending the verification information to the target electronic device comprises;

sending the verification information obtained from the network server to the target electronic device.

6. The method according to claim 1, wherein the acquiring the verification information of the target electronic device comprises:

acquiring identifier information of the target electronic device; and

determining, according to a matching relationship between the identifier information and to-be-selected verification information, the verification information corresponding to the identifier information of the target electronic device.

7. The method according to claim 1, wherein the method further comprises:

determining whether the wearable device comprises expired verification information; and

if the wearable device comprises the expired verification information, deleting at least one piece of the expired verification information.

8. The method according to claim 1, wherein the method further comprises:

if the user is not the preset user, generating alarm information, wherein the alarm information comprises at least one of (a) information comprising a feature of the user, and (b) information comprising a current location of the user.

17. The method according to claim 1, wherein the determining whether the user is the preset user comprises:

after determining that verification needs to be performed on the user by the electronic device, determining whether the user is the preset user.

18. The method according to claim 1, wherein the method further comprises:

acquiring the verification information from a network server, and storing the verification information in the wearable device, wherein the verification information is determined according to a right of the user.

9. A wearable device, comprising:

a processor, configured to determine whether a user is a preset user of the wearable device; and

if the user is the preset user, acquire verification information of a target electronic device, wherein the verification information authenticates the user by the target electronic device; and

a data transmission interface connected to the processor, configured to send the verification information to the target electronic device.

10. The device according to claim 9, wherein the device further comprises:

a storage, configured to store a preset feature;

a biological feature collecting module, configured to collect a biological feature of the user; and

the processor, further configured to determine whether the biological feature is the preset feature, wherein, when the biological feature is the preset feature, it is determined that the user is the preset user.

11. The device according to claim 9, wherein the wearable device further comprises:

a timer, configured to generate a trigger signal at every preset time interval; and

the processor, further configured to receive the trigger signal and determine, based on the trigger signal, whether the user is the preset user.

12. The device according to a claim 9, wherein the data transmission interface is further configured to:

pre-store the verification information in the storage during initialization, wherein the verification information is determined according to a right of the user.

13. The device according to claim 9, wherein the data transmission interface is further configured to:

establish a communication connection with a network server, and obtain the verification information from the network server; and

forward the verification information obtained from the network server to the target electronic device.

14. The device according to claim 9, wherein the processor is further configured to:

acquire identifier information of the target electronic device, and

determine, according to a matching relationship between the identifier information and to-be-selected verification information, the verification information corresponding to the identifier information of the target electronic device.

15. The device according to claim 9, wherein the processor is further configured to:

determine whether the wearable device comprises expired verification information that has expired; and

when the wearable device comprises the expired verification information, delete at least one piece of the expired verification information.

16. The device according to claim 9, wherein the processor is further configured to generate alarm information if the user is not the preset user, wherein the alarm information comprises at least one of (a) information comprising a feature of the user, and (b) information comprising a current location of the user.

19. The device according to claim 9, wherein the wearable device further comprises:

a timer, configured to generate a trigger signal at every preset time interval; and

the processor, further configured to determine whether the user is the preset user after determining that verification needs to be performed on the user by the target electronic device.

20. The device according to a claim 9, wherein the data transmission interface is further configured to:

acquire the verification information from a network server, and store the verification information in the storage, wherein the verification information is determined according to a right of the user.
