Abstract

A system and method for preventing a mobile terminal from uploading information abnormally is provided. The system includes: a real-time monitoring module, configured to monitor the standby state of mobile terminal and a transmission power in the standby state in real time, and notify a comparing module of the standby state and transmission power in the standby state; the comparing module, configured to: after receiving the notification, compare the transmission power of mobile terminal in the standby state with a transmission power of mobile terminal in a theoretical standby state, notifying a software prompting module of the comparison result; the software prompting module, configured to: when the comparison result is that the transmission power of mobile terminal in the standby state is greater than the transmission power of mobile terminal in the theoretical standby state, prompt a user there is a risk of malicious information leakage in the current state.

Claims

1. A system for preventing a mobile terminal from uploading information abnormally, comprising:

a real-time monitoring module, a comparing module and a software prompting module, wherein;

the real-time monitoring module is configured to;

monitor a standby state of the mobile terminal and a transmission power in the standby state in real time, and notify the comparing module of the standby state and the transmission power in the standby state;

the comparing module is configured to;

after receiving a notification from the real-time monitoring module, compare the transmission power of the mobile terminal in the standby state with a transmission power of the mobile terminal in a theoretical standby state, and notify the software prompting module of a comparison result; and

the software prompting module is configured to;

when the comparison result is that the transmission power of the mobile terminal in the standby state is greater than the transmission power of the mobile terminal in the theoretical standby state, prompt a user that there is a risk of malicious information leakage in a current state.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein:

the real-time monitoring module is configured to monitor a standby state of the mobile terminal and a transmission power in the standby state in real time in a following way;

monitoring a working state of each channel of the mobile terminal in real time, determining whether the mobile terminal is in the standby state or not according to the working state of each channel, and calculating out the transmission power of the mobile terminal in the standby state when the mobile terminal is in the standby state.

3. The system of claim 1, further comprising a memory module respectively connected with the real-time monitoring module and the comparing module, wherein:

the real-time monitoring module is further configured to;

notify the memory module of the standby state;

the memory module is configured to;

after receiving a notification from the real-time monitoring module, send the transmission power of the mobile terminal in the theoretical standby state saved by the memory module to the comparing module; and

the comparing module is further configured to;

receive the transmission power of the mobile terminal in the theoretical standby state sent by the memory module, and compare the transmission power of the mobile terminal in the standby state with the transmission power of the mobile terminal in the theoretical standby state.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein:

the software prompting module is further configured to;

when the comparison result is that the transmission power of the mobile terminal in the standby state is less than or equal to the transmission power of the mobile terminal in the theoretical standby state provided by the memory module, not prompt a user that there is a danger of malicious information leakage in the current state.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein:

the real-time monitoring module comprises;

a channel monitoring unit, a register, a standby state judging unit, a power calculating unit and a transmitting unit, wherein;

the channel monitoring unit is configured to;

monitor a working state of each channel of the mobile terminal in real time, and save the working state of each channel of the mobile terminal in the register;

the register is configured to;

save the working state of each channel of the mobile terminal sent by the channel monitoring unit;

the standby state judging unit is configured to;

read the working state of each channel of the mobile terminal in the register, and determine whether the mobile terminal is in the standby state or not according to the working state of each channel;

the power calculating unit is configured to;

when the standby state judging unit determines that the mobile terminal is in the standby state, calculate the transmission power of the mobile terminal in the standby state; and

the transmitting unit is configured to;

notify the comparing module and the memory module of the standby state of the mobile terminal, and send the transmission power of the mobile terminal in the standby state to the comparing module.

6. A method for preventing a mobile terminal from uploading information abnormally, comprising:

monitoring a standby state of the mobile terminal and a transmission power in the standby state in real time, when the mobile terminal is in the standby state, comparing the transmission power of the mobile terminal in the standby state with a transmission power of the mobile terminal in a theoretical standby state, when the transmission power of the mobile terminal in the standby state is greater than the transmission power of the mobile terminal in the theoretical standby state, prompting a user that there is a danger of malicious message leakage in a current state.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein:

the step of monitoring the standby state of the mobile terminal and the transmission power in the standby state in real time comprises;

monitoring a working state of each channel of the mobile terminal in real time, determining whether the mobile terminal is in the standby state or not according to the working state of each channel, and calculating out the transmission power of the mobile terminal in the standby state when the mobile terminal is in the standby state.

8. The method of claim 6, further comprising:

when the transmission power of the mobile terminal in the standby state is less than or equal to the transmission power of the mobile terminal in the theoretical standby state, not prompting a user that there is a danger of malicious information leakage in the current state.
