APPLICATION PERMISSION SYNCHRONIZATION METHOD AND RELATED DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240340494 titled 'APPLICATION PERMISSION SYNCHRONIZATION METHOD AND RELATED DEVICE
The patent application describes a method for synchronizing application permissions between electronic devices based on security levels.
- In response to a user operation, permission granting information of an application on a first electronic device is changed.
- The permission granting information describes the permissions granted to the application to access software or hardware functions of the device.
- If the security level of the first device is higher than a second device, the permission changes are synchronized to the second device based on configuration information.
Potential Applications: - Enhancing security measures in electronic devices. - Streamlining permission management across multiple devices.
Problems Solved: - Ensuring consistent permissions across devices. - Improving security by synchronizing permission changes.
Benefits: - Enhanced security for sensitive data. - Simplified management of application permissions.
Commercial Applications: Title: Secure Permission Synchronization for Electronic Devices This technology could be utilized in industries where data security is paramount, such as finance, healthcare, and government sectors. It could also be integrated into mobile device management solutions for businesses.
Questions about Secure Permission Synchronization: 1. How does this technology improve overall security for electronic devices?
This technology enhances security by ensuring that permission changes are synchronized between devices, reducing the risk of unauthorized access.
2. What are the potential challenges in implementing permission synchronization across different devices?
One challenge could be ensuring compatibility between devices with different operating systems or security protocols.
Original Abstract Submitted
this application provides an application permission synchronization method and a related device. the method is applied to a first electronic device, and the method includes: in response to a first user operation, changing permission granting information of a first application on the first electronic device, where the permission granting information is used to describe a permission granted to the first application to invoke at least one of a software function or a hardware function of the first electronic device; and if a security level of the first electronic device is higher than a security level of a second electronic device, synchronizing the change of the permission granting information of the first application on the first electronic device to the second electronic device based on permission synchronization configuration information of the first application on the first electronic device and the second electronic device.
