Identity management method used for mobile terminal and apparatus thereof

Abstract

The invention provides an identity management method used for a mobile terminal and an apparatus thereof. The method is characterized by: when the identity authentication request from one of a plurality of the application programs is received, identifying an application program which sends an identity authentication request and sending a request message generated according to the identity authentication request to an identity authentication server; after a return message from the identity authentication server is received, notifying all the application programs in a related application program list to which the identified application program belongs of an identity authentication result acquired according to the return message. By using the technical scheme of the invention, unified management of user identity information and user identity authentication can be realized; development and maintenance costs can be reduced; security of a user account can be improved and user operation is convenient.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of mobile communication, in particular to an identity management method and device for a mobile terminal. Background technique [0002] With the continuous advancement of mobile communication technology and embedded technology, the functions of mobile terminals are becoming more and more powerful. Users can browse news, send and receive emails, and chat with other networked users with the help of applications on mobile terminals. Among them, many applications, such as instant messaging software, online games, e-mail clients, etc., must be authenticated by the server before they can be used normally. Therefore, these applications that require identity verification include not only modules that implement their own main functions, but also a set of identity management modules for managing account information, interacting with servers for identity verification, and so on. [0003] In the prior art, each application progr...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Unfortunately, due to the inability to share identities between applications in existing solutions, each application requires the user to authenticate at startup, which results in multiple authentications of the same identity

Correspondingly, not only can users not enjoy a smooth experience, but multiple verifications also increase the risk of user identity leakage

Also, because the same identity information is dispersed in multiple applications and cannot be managed uniformly, this increases security risks

In addition, if you want to add a special operation (such as inputting a verification code) to the authentication operation of all applications, you need to set up all the applications separately, which is extremely troublesome and laborious

[0004] All in all, existing identity management solutions have defects such as repeated development of software functions, decentralized management of user identity information, poor user experience, high security risks, and difficulty in modifying settings.
