US 2014/0373168 A1 · METHOD OF PROTECTING PRIVACY DATA OF AN APPLICATION PROGRAM AND APPARATUS USING THE SAME

Abstract

The present application is applied to data processing technique field, providing an application program privacy data protection method and an apparatus. The method includes: creating a privacy space, including creating a user interface and a data storage area that the privacy space corresponds to, the user interface of the created privacy space is the same as the user interface of the normal space; when installing an application program, it is determined whether the application program has been installed into the normal space; if the result of the determination is yes, the application program is installed into the privacy space; if the result of the determination is no, the application program is installed in the privacy space and the normal space respectively. Through the present application, it is possible to protect the privacy data of the application program in the user terminal without any trail.

Dependent claims

A method for protecting privacy data of an application program, comprising:

creating a privacy space, by a terminal comprising a processor, the created privacy space having a first user interface and a first data storage area, wherein the terminal comprises a normal space having a second user interface and a second data storage area, and wherein the first user interface is the same as the second user interface;
determining, by the terminal, whether the application program has been installed into the normal space;
installing the application program into the created privacy space, storing related data of the application program into the first data storage area and displaying an icon of the application program in the first user interface if the application program has been installed into the normal space;
or installing the application program in the created privacy space and the normal space respectively, storing the related data of the application program into the first and second data storage areas and displaying an icon of the application program on the first and second user interfaces if the application program has not been installed into the normal space.

An application program privacy data protection apparatus being implemented in a terminal having a normal space comprising a processor and having a first user interface and a first data storage area, the apparatus comprising:

a space creating unit, configured to create a privacy space having a second user interface and a second data storage area, the second user interface of the created privacy space being the same as the first user interface;
a first determination unit, configured to determine whether an application program has been installed into the normal space;
and
an application program installation unit, configured to, if the application program has been installed into the normal space, install the application program into the privacy space, store related data of the application program into the second data storage area of the privacy space, and display an icon of the application program in the second user interface of the privacy space if the application program has been installed into the normal space, or if the application program has not been installed into the normal space, install the application program in the privacy space and the normal space respectively, store the related data of the application program into the first and second data storage areas, and display an icon of the application program on the first and second user interfaces.
