Abstract

This application provides an application sensitive behavior reminder method, a related apparatus, and a communication system. When detecting that device permission is accessed by an application on a first electronic device or by a second electronic device, the first electronic device may display, in a status bar and/or a control center interface, a sensitive behavior prompt indicating that the device permission is accessed. In addition, the first electronic device may display, in response to an operation on the sensitive behavior prompt displayed in the control center interface, a control used to manage the device permission. According to the foregoing method, it can be convenient for a user to know and control sensitive behavior of the application on the device and cross-device sensitive behavior.

First claim

1 . An application sensitive behavior reminder method, the method comprising:
receiving, by a first electronic device, a first request from a second electronic device, the first request requesting to access first device permission of the first electronic device; in response to the first request, allowing, by the first electronic device, the second electronic device to access the first device permission and displaying a first icon in a status bar, the first icon indicating that the first device permission is accessed; receiving, by the first electronic device, a first operation; and displaying, by the first electronic device, a first interface in response to the first operation, the first interface comprising a first prompt, and the first prompt comprising the first icon.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises:
receiving, by the first electronic device, a second operation on the first prompt; and displaying, by the first electronic device, a first permission list in response to the second operation, wherein the first permission list comprises first information, and the first information indicates that the first device permission is accessed by the second electronic device.

3 . The method according to claim 2 , wherein the method further comprises:
receiving, by the first electronic device, a third operation on the first information; and displaying, by the first electronic device, a first control in response to the third operation, wherein the first control is used to manage access of the second electronic device to the first device permission.

4 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein after the receiving, by the first electronic device, the first operation, the method further comprises:
querying, by the first electronic device, an access record of accessing device permission of the first electronic device in a first time period to obtain a first access record, wherein the first time period is before the first operation is received, and the first access record comprises first access data of accessing the first device permission by the second electronic device; and the displaying, by the first electronic device, the first interface, wherein the first interface comprises the first prompt comprises: displaying, by the first electronic device, the first interface based on the first access record, wherein the first interface comprises the first prompt, and the first icon comprised in the first prompt is determined based on the first access data.

5 . The method according to claim 4 , wherein the first access record further comprises access data of accessing K pieces of device permission of the first electronic device, and K is a positive integer; and
the first prompt in the first interface further comprises K icons, and the K icons respectively indicate that the K pieces of device permission are accessed.

6 . The method according to claim 5 , wherein the first icon and the K icons comprised in the first prompt are displayed in a folded manner based on a first priority sequence;
the first priority sequence indicates a priority sequence of the device permission of the first electronic device, a higher priority of device permission in the first priority sequence indicates that an icon that indicates that the device permission is accessed is displayed at a higher level in the first interface, and an icon displayed on an upper layer partially blocks an icon displayed on a lower layer; and the first prompt further comprises an identifier of a visitor of device permission corresponding to an icon displayed at a highest level in the first prompt.

7 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises:
detecting, by the first electronic device, that the second electronic device ends accessing the first device permission; and canceling, by the first electronic device, the displaying of the first icon in the status bar.

8 . The method according to claim 7 , wherein before the canceling, by the first electronic device, the displaying of the first icon in the status bar, the method further comprises:
determining, by the first electronic device, that a first access duration in which the second electronic device accesses the first device permission exceeds a first duration.

9 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises:
detecting, by the first electronic device, that the second electronic device ends accessing the first device permission; determining, by the first electronic device, whether a first access duration in which the second electronic device accesses the first device permission exceeds a first duration; when determining that the first access duration does not exceed the first duration, determining, by the first electronic device, a first extended duration based on a difference between the first access duration and the first duration; and continuing, by the first electronic device, to display the first icon in the status bar in a second time period, wherein the second time period is in the first extended duration starting from a moment at which the second electronic device ends accessing the first device permission.

10 . The method according to claim 9 , wherein the method further comprises:
detecting, by the first electronic device in the second time period, a re-access of the first device permission; continuing, by the first electronic device, to display the first icon in the status bar in a time period of the re-access of the first device permission; determining, by the first electronic device, whether a second access duration of the re-access of the first device permission exceeds the first duration; and when determining that the second access duration exceeds the first duration, canceling, by the first electronic device, displaying of the first icon in the status bar at a moment at which re-access of the first device permission ends; or when determining that the second access duration does not exceed the first duration, determining, by the first electronic device, a second extended duration based on a difference between the second access duration and the first duration; and continuing, by the first electronic device, to display the first icon in the status bar in a third time period, wherein the third time period is in the second extended duration starting from a moment at which the re-access of the first device permission ends.

11 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises:
receiving, by the first electronic device, a fourth operation; and displaying, by the first electronic device, a second control in response to the fourth operation, wherein the second control is used to manage access of the second electronic device to the device permission of the first electronic device, or displaying, by the first electronic device, a third control in response to the fourth operation, wherein the third control is used to manage access of different applications on the second electronic device to the device permission of the first electronic device.

12 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein after the receiving, by the first electronic device, the first operation, the method further comprises:
querying, by the first electronic device in the first time period, an access record of accessing device permission of another electronic device by the first electronic device in the first time period, to obtain a second access record, wherein the first time period is before the first operation is received, and the second access record comprises access data of accessing second device permission of a third electronic device by the first electroni
