Abstract

A method and an apparatus for establishing association between devices are provided. The method includes: obtaining identity information of a current user, and in response to the identity information satisfying a pre-configured condition, establishing an association with a mobile terminal associated with the identity information. The identity information includes biological unique information.

Claims

1. A method for establishing association between devices, comprising:

obtaining, by an apparatus, identity information of a current user, wherein the identity information includes biological unique information; and

in response to the identity information satisfying a pre-configured condition, establishing, by the apparatus, an association with a mobile terminal associated with the identity information.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein establishing the association with the mobile terminal includes:

using the identity information to obtain information of the mobile terminal associated with the identity information; and

using the information of the mobile terminal to establish the association with the mobile terminal,

wherein the information of the mobile terminal associated with the identity information includes one or more of;

information that unlocks the mobile terminal;

information that allows the apparatus to access the mobile terminal; and

information that establishes a connection with the mobile terminal.

3. The method according to claim 2, wherein establishing the association with the mobile terminal further includes:

selecting at least one of a plurality of mobile terminals associated with the identity information to establish the association, wherein the at least one of the plurality of mobile terminals includes the mobile terminal.

4. The method according to claim 2, wherein using the information of the mobile terminal to establish the association with the mobile terminal includes:

sending association request information to the mobile terminal; and

receiving association information returned by the mobile terminal, wherein the association information is in response to the association request information.

5. The method according to claim 1, wherein the pre-configured condition includes one of following:

the identity information is a same as a pre-stored identity verification information; and

a similarity that the identity information matches the pre-stored identity verification information satisfies a pre-configured identity verification condition.

6. The method according to claim 1, wherein the mobile terminal:

receives an association request information sent by the apparatus; and

establishes an association with the apparatus such that;

the apparatus is able to unlock the mobile terminal;

the apparatus is allowed to access the mobile terminal; and

the mobile terminal establishes a connection with the apparatus.

7. An apparatus, comprising:

an acquisition device, for obtaining identity information of a current user, wherein the identity information includes biological unique information; and

an association device, for establishing an association with a mobile terminal associated with the identity information in response to the identity information satisfying a pre-configured condition.

8. The apparatus according to claim 7, wherein the association device further includes:

an acquisition sub-device that uses the identity information to obtain information of the mobile terminal associated with the identity information; and

an association sub-device that uses the information of the mobile terminal to establish the association with the mobile terminal,

wherein the information of the mobile terminal associated with the identity information includes one or more of;

information that unlocks the mobile terminal;

information that allows the apparatus to access the mobile terminal; and

information that establishes a connection with the mobile terminal.

9. The apparatus according to claim 8, wherein the acquisition sub-device further includes:

a selection sub-device acquisition that selects at least one of a plurality of mobile terminals associated with the identity information to establish the association, wherein the at least one of the plurality of mobile terminals includes the mobile terminal.

10. The apparatus according to claim 8, wherein the association sub-device further includes:

a request sub-device that sends association request information to the mobile terminal; and

a return sub-device that receives association information returned from the mobile terminal, wherein the association information is in response to the association request information.

11. The apparatus according to claim 7, wherein the pre-configured condition includes one of following:

the identity information is a same as a pre-stored identity verification information; and

a similarity that the identity information matches the pre-stored identity verification information satisfies a pre-configured identity verification condition.

12. The apparatus according to claim 7, comprising an electronic device, wherein the electronic device is a computer.

13. The apparatus according to claim 7, wherein the association device establishes the association with the mobile terminal and is capable of unlocking the mobile terminal and accessing the mobile terminal.
