Abstract

This application provides a method for secure multi-terminal cooperative working, applied to a network on which a plurality of terminal devices perform cooperative playing and/or cooperative recording, where the plurality of terminal devices include a first terminal device. The method includes: determining, by the first terminal device, a security mechanism; obtaining, by the first terminal device, cooperative working information, where the cooperative working information is information played and/or recorded by the plurality of terminal devices; and performing, by the first terminal device, security processing on the cooperative working information based on the security mechanism. After obtaining the cooperative working information, the first terminal device performs security processing on the cooperative working information based on the security mechanism, so that a process other than the cooperative working process cannot access the cooperative working information, thereby ensuring security of the cooperative working information.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for secure multi-terminal cooperative working, comprising:
when a first terminal device of a plurality of terminal devices of a network accesses the network, determining, by the first terminal device, a security mechanism;
obtaining, by the first terminal device, cooperative working information played and/or recorded by the plurality of terminal devices;
performing, by the first terminal device, security processing on the cooperative working information based on the security mechanism, wherein the security mechanism is used to prohibit a process other than a cooperative working process from accessing the cooperative working information;
detecting, by the first terminal device, a distance between the first terminal device and a second terminal device, wherein the first terminal device is a secondary terminal device and the second terminal device is a primary terminal device in the plurality of terminal devices; and
when the distance between the first terminal device and the second terminal device is greater than a preset distance threshold, deleting, by the first terminal device, the cooperative working information.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the performing, by the first terminal device, security processing on the cooperative working information based on the security mechanism comprises:
storing, by the first terminal device, the cooperative working information into a secure folder that cannot be read by a process other than the cooperative working process, wherein the security mechanism is a manner of storing the cooperative working information.

3. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
prohibiting, by the first terminal device, a process other than the cooperative working process from forwarding the cooperative working information.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the performing, by the first terminal device, security processing on the cooperative working information based on the security mechanism comprises:
after a first frame in the cooperative working information is sent or played, immediately deleting the first frame.

5. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
detecting, by the first terminal device, signal strength of the network; and
when the signal strength of the network is less than or equal to a preset strength threshold, deleting, by the first terminal device, the cooperative working information.

6. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving, by the first terminal device, a first exit command sent by a third terminal device, wherein the first terminal device is a secondary terminal device and the third terminal device is a primary terminal device in the plurality of terminal devices; and
deleting, by the first terminal device, the cooperative working information based on the first exit command.

7. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
determining, by the first terminal device, that a fourth terminal device is about to leave a cooperative working area in which the plurality of terminal devices perform cooperative playing and/or cooperative recording; and
sending, by the first terminal device, a second exit command to the fourth terminal device based on that the fourth terminal device is about to leave the cooperative working area, wherein the second exit command is used to instruct the fourth terminal device to delete the cooperative working information.

8. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
obtaining, by the first terminal device, a third exit command, wherein the third exit command is used to instruct a fifth terminal device to exit the network; and
sending, by the first terminal device, a fourth exit command to the fifth terminal device based on the third exit command, wherein the fourth exit command is used to instruct the fifth terminal device to delete the cooperative working information.

9. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving, by the first terminal device, incoming call indication information; and
deleting, by the first terminal device, the cooperative working information based on the incoming call indication information.

10. An apparatus for secure multi-terminal cooperative working, comprising:
a processing unit configured to: when the apparatus accesses a network, determine a security mechanism, the network having a plurality of terminal devices performing cooperative playing and/or cooperative recording;
an obtaining unit configured to: obtain cooperative working information played and/or recorded by the plurality of terminal devices;
wherein the processing unit is further configured to: perform, based on the security mechanism, security processing on the cooperative working information obtained by the obtaining unit, wherein the security mechanism is used to prohibit a process other than a cooperative working process from accessing the cooperative working information;
wherein the processing unit is further configured to:
detect a distance between the apparatus and a second terminal device, wherein the apparatus is a secondary terminal device, and the second terminal device is a primary terminal device; and
when the distance between the apparatus and the second terminal device is greater than a preset distance threshold, delete the cooperative working information.

11. The apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein the processing unit is further configured to:
store the cooperative working information into a secure folder that cannot be read by a process other than the cooperative working process, wherein the security mechanism is a manner of storing the cooperative working information.

12. The apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein the processing unit is further configured to:
prohibit a process other than the cooperative working process from forwarding the cooperative working information.

13. The apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein the processing unit is configured to:
after a first frame in the cooperative working information is sent or played, immediately delete the first frame.

14. The apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein the processing unit is further configured to:
detect signal strength of the network; and
when the signal strength of the network is less than or equal to a preset strength threshold, delete the cooperative working information.

15. The apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein the processing unit is further configured to:
receive, through the obtaining unit, a first exit command sent by a third terminal device, wherein the apparatus is a secondary terminal device and the third terminal device is a primary terminal device in the plurality of terminal devices; and
delete the cooperative working information based on the first exit command.

16. The apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein the processing unit is further configured to:
determine that a fourth terminal device is about to leave a cooperative working area in which the plurality of terminal devices perform cooperative playing and/or cooperative recording; and
send a second exit command to the fourth terminal device based on that the fourth terminal device is about to leave the cooperative working area, wherein the second exit command is used to instruct the fourth terminal device to delete the cooperative working information.

17. The apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein the processing unit is further configured to:
obtain a third exit command by using the obtaining unit, wherein the third exit command is used to instruct a fifth termi
