Abstract

A processing method and system for identity authentication with a mobile terminal based on iris recognition is provided. The iris characteristic data of the user is encapsulated as iris identification data, which is further established as a unique identifier of the user for identity authentication. The mobile terminal compares the scanned iris characteristic data of the current user against the prestored iris identification data. When the iris characteristic data of the current user is in match with the prestored iris identification data, the mobile terminal is unlocked. Iris recognition is employed to verify the identity of the user, so as to control unlock the mobile terminal and log into the application.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A processing method for identity authentication with a mobile terminal based on iris recognition, comprising:
collecting in advance, by the mobile terminal, iris characteristic data of a user, encapsulating the iris characteristic data to a designated function as stored iris identification data, and providing an interface to applications in an upper layer to invoke the function containing the stored iris identification data;
configuring the collected iris characteristic data to correlate with an unlock command of a screen of the mobile terminal, so as to establish the stored iris identification data as a unique identifier of the user for unlocking the mobile terminal;
binding the stored iris identification data of the user with a login account of an application installed on the mobile terminal, for account verification to log on the application;
when unlocking the mobile terminal, scanning, by a camera equipped in the mobile terminal, iris characteristic data of a current user, comparing the iris characteristic data of the current user against the stored iris identification data;
when the iris characteristic data of the current user matches with the stored iris identification data, unlocking the mobile terminal and logging into applications bound with the stored iris identification data;
when the mobile terminal is unlocked successfully, and another application is activated, detecting whether the stored iris identification data of the user is bound with the login account of the other application that is activated, in order to determine whether the other application is enabled with a function of login via the iris stored identification data; and
upon determining that the stored iris identification data of the user is not bound with the login account of the other application, binding the stored iris identification data with the login account of the other application that needs to be activated, in order to enable the function of login via the stored iris identification data.

2. The processing method according to claim 1 , wherein the step of binding the stored iris identification data with the login account of the application installed on the mobile terminal comprises:
providing the function containing the stored iris identification data to an application layer, and providing by an application layer interface an interface for acquiring the stored iris identification data; and
when the stored iris identification data is acquired by clicking, binding the stored iris identification data with the login account of the application installed on the mobile terminal.

3. The processing method according to claim 1 , further comprising, after the step of controlling the mobile terminal to unlock:
when the application that is bound with the stored iris identification data is activated, controlling automatically log into a main interface of the application.

4. The processing method according to claim 1 , further comprising, after the step of acquiring the stored iris identification data, and binding the stored iris identification data with the login account of the application that needs to be activated, in order to enable the function of login via the stored iris identification data:
scanning, by the camera equipped in the mobile terminal, the iris characteristic data of the current user, and comparing the iris characteristic data of the current user against the stored iris identification data; and
when the iris characteristic data of the current user matches with the stored iris identification data and thus the identity of the current user is authenticated, controlling automatically log into a main interface of each of the plurality of applications.

5. The processing method according to claim 4 , further comprising, after the step of comparing the iris characteristic data of the current user against the stored iris identification data:
when the iris characteristic data of the current user does not match with the stored iris identification data, prompting the user for login failure.

6. The processing method according to claim 4 , further comprising, after the step of detecting whether the stored iris identification data of the user is bound with the login account of the other application that is activated:
when the stored iris identification data of the user is determined to be bound with the login account of the other application that is activated, scanning by the camera configured on the mobile terminal the iris characteristic data of the current user, and comparing the iris characteristic data of the current user against the stored iris identification data; and
when the iris characteristic data of the current user matches with the stored iris identification data and thus the identity is authenticated, controlling automatically log into the main interface of the application.

7. The processing method according to claim 6 , further comprising, after the step of comparing the iris characteristic data of the current user against the stored iris identification data:
when the iris characteristic data of the current user does not match with the stored iris identification data, prompting the user for login failure.

8. A processing method for identity authentication with a mobile terminal based on iris recognition, comprising:
collecting in advance, by the mobile terminal, iris characteristic data of a user, encapsulating the iris characteristic data to a designated function as stored iris identification data, providing an interface to applications in an upper layer to invoke the function containing the stored iris identification data, and establishing the stored iris identification data as a unique identifier of the user for identity authentication;
when unlocking the mobile terminal, scanning, by a camera equipped in the mobile terminal, iris characteristic data of a current user, and comparing the iris characteristic data of the current user against the stored iris identification data;
when the iris characteristic data of the current user matches the stored iris identification data, controlling the mobile terminal to unlock;
when the mobile terminal is unlocked successfully, and an application is activated, detecting whether the stored iris identification data is bound with a login account of the application that is activated, so as to determine whether the application is enabled with a function of login via the stored iris identification data; and
upon detecting that the stored iris identification data of the user is not bound with the login account of the application, the mobile terminal binding the stored iris identification data with the login account of the application that needs to be activated, in order to enable the function of login via the stored iris identification data.

9. The processing method according to claim 8 , wherein the step of establishing the stored iris identification data as the unique identifier of the user for identity authentication comprises:
configuring the collected iris characteristic data of the user to correlate with an unlock command of a screen of the mobile terminal, for unlocking the screen of the mobile terminal.

10. The processing method according to claim 8 , further comprising:
binding the stored iris identification data of the user with a login account of an application installed on the mobile terminal, for account verification to log into the application.

11. The processing method according to claim 10 , wherein the step of binding the stored iris identification data of the user with the login account of the application installed on the mobile terminal comprises:
providing the function containing the stored iris identification d
