Abstract

Disclosed are a method and device for protecting user privacy data of a mobile terminal in the embodiment of the present invention, related to a wireless terminal, wherein the method includes: when a subscriber identity module card is inserted into a mobile terminal, obtaining card information of the subscriber identity module card, and judging whether there are user privacy data in the mobile terminal or not; if the judgment result is yes, matching the card information with card information stored in the mobile terminal, and displaying the user privacy data for the user to use according to the matching result; and if the judgment result is no, performing security processing on the mobile terminal.

Claims

1. A method for protecting user privacy data of a mobile terminal, comprising:

when a subscriber identity module card is inserted into a mobile terminal, obtaining card information of the subscriber identity module card and judging whether the mobile terminal has user privacy data or not;

if the mobile terminal has the user privacy data, matching the card information of the subscriber identity module card with card information stored in the mobile terminal;

when the card information of the subscriber identity module card matches with the card information stored in the mobile terminal, directly displaying the user privacy data for a user to use;

when the card information of the subscriber identity module card does not match with the card information stored in the mobile terminal, receiving password information subsequently input by the user, and matching the password information input by the user with password information stored in the mobile terminal,

when the password information input by the user matches with password information stored in the mobile terminal, displaying the user privacy data, and binding the card information of the subscriber identity module card with the user privacy data stored in the mobile terminal;

if the mobile terminal has no user privacy data, performing security processing on the mobile terminal.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein if the judgment result is that there do not exist the user privacy data, the step of performing security processing on the mobile terminal comprises:

when the mobile terminal does not have the user privacy data, establishing a user privacy data unit for storing the user privacy data, and binding the user privacy data unit with the card information and the password information.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the card information is international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI) information.

6. The method of claim 2, wherein the card information is international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI) information.

4. A device for protecting user privacy data of a mobile terminal, comprising:

a computing device executing program code stored in a non-transitory computer readable medium which when executed causes the following units execute as follows;

a machine card interaction unit, configured to;

when a subscriber identity module card is inserted into a mobile terminal, obtain card information of the subscriber identity module card; and

a user privacy data unit, configured to;

judge whether the mobile terminal has user privacy data or not, when the mobile terminal has the user privacy data, match the card information of the subscriber identity module card with card information stored in the mobile terminal, and display the user privacy information for a user to use when the card information of the subscriber identity module card matches with the card information stored in the mobile terminal, and when the mobile terminal has no user privacy data, perform security processing on the mobile terminal;

an authentication unit, configured to;

when the card information of the subscriber identity module card does not match with the card information stored in the mobile terminal, match password information subsequently inputted by a user with password information stored in the mobile terminal, and display the user privacy data when the password information matches;

wherein the user privacy data unit is further configured to;

when the card information of the subscriber identity module card does not match with the card information stored in the mobile terminal, while in the authentication unit the password information input by the user matches with the password information stored in the mobile terminal, bind the card information of the subscriber identity module card with the user privacy data stored in the mobile terminal.

5. The device of claim 4, wherein the user privacy data unit is further configured to:

when creating user privacy data for the first time, bind the user privacy data with the card information and password information.
