Abstract

A protection method for an electronic device includes generating a control command using a processor of the electronic device when it is determined to acquire information of a current user of the electronic device. The electronic device is controlled to acquire the information of the current user and to acquire data of the electronic device according to the control command. The acquired information is stored. The acquired information and the acquired data is transmitted to the server.

Claims (35)

1. A computer-implemented method for protecting an electronic device being executed by a processor of the electronic device, the electronic device being connected to a server, the method comprising:

generating a control command using the processor when it is determined to acquire information of a current user of the electronic device;

controlling the electronic device to acquire the information of the current user and to acquire data of the electronic device according to the control command, and storing the acquired information and the acquired data; and

transmitting the acquired information and the acquired data to the server, to enable a legal user of the electronic device to find the electronic device according to identification information of the current user, which is obtained by the server according to the acquired information, wherein the identification information comprises identification numbers and residence addresses.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein it is determined to acquire the information of the current user of the electronic device when:

unlocking times of the electronic device within a preset duration is greater than a first preset number; or

in response to receiving a request of acquiring the information of the current user.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the request is received from the server or another electronic device which is connected to the electronic device.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the acquired information of the current user comprises fingerprint data of the current user input on the electronic device, input time of the fingerprint data, position information of the current user, and a video of the current user captured by a camera device of the electronic device.

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the server compares the fingerprint data of the current user with pre-stored fingerprint data in a fingerprint database which stored in a storage device of the server, generates a comparison result, and determines the identification information of the current user according to the comparison result and transmits the identification information of the current user to predetermined electronic devices.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the acquired data of the electronic device comprises an International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMIE) of the electronic device.

7. An electronic device, comprising:

a processor; and

a storage device that stores one or more programs, the electronic device being connected to a server, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:

generate a control command using the processor when it is determined to acquire information of a current user of the electronic device;

control the electronic device to acquire the information of the current user and to acquire data of the electronic device according to the control command, and storing the acquired information and the acquired data; and

transmit the acquired information and the acquired data to the server, to enable a legal user of the electronic device to find the electronic device according to identification information of the current user, which is obtained by the server according to the acquired information, wherein the identification information comprises identification numbers and residence addresses.

8. The electronic device according to claim 7 , wherein it is determined to acquire the information of the current user of the electronic device when:

unlocking times of the electronic device within a preset duration is greater than a first preset number; or

in response to receiving a request of acquiring the information of the current user.

9. The electronic device according to claim 8 , wherein the request is received from the server or another electronic device which is connected to the electronic device.

10. The electronic device according to claim 7 , wherein the acquired information of the current user comprises fingerprint data of the current user input on the electronic device, input time of the fingerprint data, position information of the current user, and a video of the current user captured by a camera device of the electronic device.

11. The electronic device according to claim 10 , wherein the server compares the fingerprint data of the current user with pre-stored fingerprint data in a fingerprint database which stored in a storage device of the server, generates a comparison result, and determines the identification information of the current user according to the comparison result and transmits the identification information of the current user to predetermined electronic devices.

12. The electronic device according to claim 7 , wherein the acquired data of the electronic device comprises an International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMIE) of the electronic device.

13. A non-transitory storage medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by a processor of an electronic device, the electronic device being connected to a server, causes the processor to perform a protection method, wherein the method comprises:

generating a control command using the processor when it is determined to acquire information of a current user of the electronic device;

controlling the electronic device to acquire the information of the current user and to acquire data of the electronic device according to the control command, and storing the acquired information and the acquired data; and

transmitting the acquired information and the acquired data to the server, to enable a legal user of the electronic device to find the electronic device according to identification information of the current user, which is obtained by the server according to the acquired information, wherein the identification information comprises identification numbers and residence addresses.

14. The non-transitory storage medium according to claim 13 , wherein it is determined to acquire the information of the current user of the electronic device when:

unlocking times of the electronic device within a preset duration is greater than a first preset number; or

in response to receiving a request of acquiring the information of the current user.

15. The non-transitory storage medium according to claim 14 , wherein the request is received from the server or another electronic device which is connected to the electronic device.

16. The non-transitory storage medium according to claim 13 , wherein the acquired information of the current user comprises fingerprint data of the current user input on the electronic device, input time of the fingerprint data, position information of the current user, and a video of the current user captured by a camera device of the electronic device.

17. The non-transitory storage medium according to claim 16 , wherein the server compares the fingerprint data of the current user with pre-stored fingerprint data in a fingerprint database which stored in a storage device of the server, generates a comparison result, and determines the identification information of the current user according to the comparison result and transmits the identification information of the current user to predetermined electronic devices.

18. The non-transitory storage medium according to claim 13 , wherein the acquired data of the electronic device comprises an International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMIE) of the electronic device.
