Abstract

The present application provides an information processing method and an electronic apparatus that can automatically adjust the electronic apparatus to an information inaccessible state, thus the information security is enhanced. The method includes the steps of when a current state of the electronic apparatus is an information accessible state, obtaining an information of at least one parameter for determining whether it is necessary to adjust the current state from the information accessible state to an information inaccessible state or not; determining whether the at least one parameter meets a first preset condition or not to obtain a first determination result; when the first determination result is YES, adjusting the current state of the electronic apparatus to the information inaccessible state.

Dependent claims

An information processing method applied to an electronic apparatus, the method comprising:

in a case that a current state of the electronic apparatus is an information accessible state, obtaining an information of at least one parameter for determining whether it is necessary to adjust the current state from the information accessible state to an information inaccessible state or not;
determining whether the at least one parameter meets a first preset condition or not to obtain a first determination result;
adjusting the current state of the electronic apparatus according to the first determination result,
wherein the information inaccessible state comprises a state that at least one application in the electronic apparatus is in a logout state while the electronic apparatus is in a working state other than an off state or a locked state,
wherein, the determining whether the at least one parameter meets the first preset condition or not is determined by a preset electronic apparatus, and the adjusting the current state of the electronic apparatus to the information inaccessible state comprises:
receiving a first control command for switching operating states from the preset electronic apparatus, the first control command being transmitted based on a short-range wireless connection protocol and the first control command being sent from the preset electronic apparatus when a short-range wireless connection signal strength of a short-range wireless connection module in the electronic apparatus detected by the preset electronic apparatus is greater than or equal to a first preset threshold;
switching a first operating mode running currently to a second operating mode different from the first operating mode according to the first control command, the first operating mode comprising the current state, and the second operating mode comprising the information inaccessible state, wherein, the switching the first operating mode running currently to the second operating mode different from the first operating mode comprises:
acquiring a startup key carried in the first control command;
and
matching the startup key with a preset key;
and in a case that the startup key matches the preset key, switching the first operating mode running currently to the second operating mode.

An electronic apparatus, comprising:

a circuit configured to:
in a case that a current state of the electronic apparatus is an information accessible state, obtain an information of at least one parameter for determining whether it is necessary to adjust the current state from the information accessible state to an information inaccessible state or not;
determine whether the at least one parameter meets a first preset condition or not to obtain a first determination result;
and,
adjust the current state of the electronic apparatus to the information inaccessible state according to the first determination result,
wherein the information inaccessible state comprises a state that at least one application in the electronic apparatus is in a logout state while the electronic apparatus is in a working state other than an off state or a locked state,
wherein, the circuit is further configured to:
receive a first control command for switching operating states from the preset electronic apparatus, the first control command is transmitted based on a short-range wireless connection protocol and the first control command being sent from the preset electronic apparatus when a short-range wireless connection signal strength of a short-range wireless connection module in the electronic apparatus detected by the preset electronic apparatus is greater than or equal to a first preset threshold;
switch a first operating mode running currently to a second operating mode different from the first operating mode according to the first control command, the first operating mode comprising the current state, and the second operating mode comprising the information inaccessible state, wherein the circuit is able to perform the switch, because the circuit is configured to:
acquire a startup key carried in the first control command;
and
match the startup key with a preset key and, in a case that the startup key matches the preset key, switch the first operating mode that is running currently to the second operating mode.

9 more elements

A preset electronic apparatus, comprising:

a circuit configured to:
send an inquiry command to an electronic apparatus to inquire an apparatus state of an electronic apparatus, and receive an apparatus state information returned by the electronic apparatus;
in a case that the apparatus state information indicates that a current state of the electronic apparatus is an information accessible state, obtain an information of at least one parameter for determining whether it is necessary to adjust the current state from the information accessible state to an information inaccessible state or not;
determine whether the at least one parameter meets a first preset condition or not to obtain a first determination result;
and,
adjust the current state of the electronic apparatus to the information inaccessible state according to the first determination result,
wherein the information inaccessible state comprises a state that at least one application in the electronic apparatus is in a logout state while the electronic apparatus is in a working state other than an off state or a locked state,
wherein, the circuit is further configured to:
detect whether there is a first short-range wireless connection signal in a current detection range or not;
in a case that there is the first short-range wireless connection signal, send a first control command to the electronic apparatus having the first short-range wireless connection signal, the first control command is used for indicating the electronic apparatus to switch from a first operating mode that is running currently to a second operating mode, the first operating mode has the current state, and the second operating mode having the information inaccessible state;
and
wherein the circuit is further configured to send a startup key carried in the first control command, the startup key is used for indicating the electronic apparatus to switch from a first operating mode to a second operating mode when the startup key matches a preset key;
and
wherein the circuit is further configured to:
determine whether a strength of the first short-range wireless connection signal is greater than or equal to first preset threshold, if the strength of the first short-range wireless connection signal is greater than or equal to the first preset threshold, and send the first control command to the electronic apparatus based on a short-range wireless connection protocol.
