The present application relates to a client terminal application of a browser and, in particular to method and corresponding apparatus and client terminal device for implementing website fingerprint login.
With the development of society and technology, a client terminal device, which provides convenient and fast-speed communication means for people, particularly, the mobile client terminal device becomes more and more popular. The fingerprint identification function of some devices is favored by more and more device manufacturers and users because it is fast, convenient to operate and has high recognition accuracy and high security level. Due to the fact that the client terminal device is updated frequently, it is believed that in the near future, the fingerprint identification will become a standard configuration for the client terminal device. Nowadays, the fingerprint identification is mainly used for identity verification and security payment.
On the other hand, a user needs to perform account login operation frequently in daily webpage access. If the user needs to re-input the username and password each time, it wastes a lot of time and energy. Thus, a lot of pages have options for saving the account and password, and even if the page does not provide the option, many browsers have the function. Saving the account and password introduces the following problems:
Therefore, there is a need for a browser implementation method to solve at least one of the above discussed problems.
To solve the problem along with the conventional account password storage, incorporated with the fingerprint identification technology, the present application provides a new mechanism for storing the page account login information for a browser. Or in other words, the present application provides a method for converting a page account login mode into a fingerprint identification method, a corresponding apparatus, and a client terminal device.
One aspect of the present disclosure provides a method for implementing a website fingerprint login, including obtaining fingerprint information to login at least one websites from a fingerprint sensor; searching for a login-information configuration file corresponding to the fingerprint information, where the login-information configuration file includes website information of the at least one website and login information of the website; and auto-filling a login page of the at least one website with the login information found in the login-information configuration file.
As such, it is convenient for the user to login while protecting the user's privacy. In addition, due to the fact that the login-information configuration file, which corresponds to the fingerprint information and includes the website and the login information, is used instead of the saved data for the specific website by the cookie or the like, the fingerprint identification of the login information of a plurality of websites can be realized so as to facilitate the user's login and account switching operation.

The accompanying drawings describe the disclosed exemplary embodiments of the invention in more detail. The above disclosure and other objects, features and advantages will become more obvious. The same reference number will refer to the same part in the disclosed exemplary embodiments.
The optional embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although the optional embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure may be implemented in a variety of forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, the embodiments are provided so that the disclosure is more thorough and complete, and the scope of the present disclosure can be completely relayed to those skilled in the art.
The invention discloses a method for implementing fingerprint website login through a browser. By saving the corresponding information in a configuration file matched with the fingerprint information, fingerprint login of a plurality of websites can be realized by using the same browser. It is convenient for the user to login and protects the privacy by a method of scanning the fingerprint instead of saving the account. In addition, the method can also realize the recording of the cross-terminal login information by using a server storage mechanism. Thus, as long as the user associates the account and password to the fingerprint once, the user can login by scanning the fingerprints on any device. Further, the switching can be easily realized by associating fingerprints with different fingers for a scenario when switching between multiple users to login the same website.
In Step S110, fingerprint information to login a website is obtained from a fingerprint sensor.
In Step S120, a login-information configuration file corresponding to the fingerprint information is searched. The login-information configuration file includes website information and login information of the website.
In Step S130, the login information found in the login-information configuration file automatically fills a login page of the website.
The fingerprint information for the website login is obtained by the fingerprint sensor and is associated with the website and the login information of the website. It is convenient for the user to login while protecting the user's privacy. In addition, due to the fact that the login-information configuration file, which corresponds to the fingerprint information and includes the website and the login information, is used instead of the stored data for the specific website by the cookie or the like, the fingerprint identification of the login information of a plurality of websites can be realized so as to facilitate the user's login and account switching operation.
In an optional embodiment, the method can further include generating a login-information configuration file when the fingerprint information is associated with the website and the login information of the website for the first time.
In an optional embodiment, the method may further include updating the login-information configuration file.
In Step S210, when a request for matching new fingerprint information with new login information is received, the new login information and the website information of a website which the new login information belongs to are obtained.
In Step S220, the new fingerprint information matched with the new login information is obtained from the fingerprint sensor.
In Step S230, a new login-information configuration file corresponding to the new fingerprint information is generated.
In Step S240, the new login information and the website information of a website which the new login information belongs to are added to the new login-information configuration file, and the new login-information configuration file is saved.
When the website is logged in by using the new fingerprint information for the first time, or when new fingerprint information needs to be used for matching different login information to login the same website, a configuration file may be generated for the new fingerprint information, so that the website can be conveniently logged in using the fingerprint. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the configuration file may be generated before the fingerprint login method as shown in
In Step S310, when the request for matching the fingerprint information with the new login information is received, the new login information and the website information of the website which the new login information belongs to are obtained.
In Step S320, the new fingerprint information matched with the new login information is obtained from the fingerprint sensor.
In Step S330, the login information and the website information of the website which the new login information belongs to are added to the login-information configuration file corresponding to the fingerprint information, and the login-information configuration file is saved.
When the website is logged in by using the fingerprint information of an existing login-information configuration file, the website and the login information, which are requested be matched with the fingerprint information, can be added directly, so that website can be conveniently logged in using the fingerprint. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the update of the configuration file may occur before or after each time the fingerprint login is used, or the update and the fingerprint login may interweave according to actual usage scenario.
In an optional embodiment, the method further includes synchronizing the login-information configuration file to a server. For example, when searching for a login-information configuration file corresponding to the fingerprint information, the login-information configuration file corresponding to the fingerprint information may be searched locally first. When no login-information configuration file can be found locally, the fingerprint information can be sent to the server, the server is requested to look for a login-information configuration file corresponding to the fingerprint information, and the login-information configuration file may be received from the server.
Therefore, through cloud storage of the login-information configuration file, the cross-terminal fingerprint login can be conveniently realized, so that user operation is further facilitated.
Any one of the above methods can be realized by a browser. The generation, update, and storage of the login-information configuration file is realized through the local storage of the browser, the limitation of the cookie to a single website can be breached and the limitation on the client terminal may be further breached through the storage of the server.
In an optional embodiment, the fingerprint information may be, for example, a unique character string, such as a touchID, generated by the fingerprint sensor by calculating the fingerprint eigenvalue. Or the fingerprint information may be information partially matching the touchID, which is previously recorded and generated from the complete fingerprint information. For example, a user may provide information of a complete fingerprint when the user logs in the terminal by using fingerprints for the first time and only a certain proportion of the fingerprint information needs to be provided for each following usage.
A specific embodiment for implementing website fingerprint login by a browser on the user side is described below.
On a client terminal device (e.g., a smart phone) with a fingerprint identification function, when the user accesses the account login page, the browser can pop out a prompt box “whether to use the fingerprint login”. If the user has already matched fingerprint for the account, the user clicks the confirmation and scans the fingerprint information. The browser preferentially searches for matching configuration files locally according to the scanned fingerprint information. If not found locally, the fingerprint information will be uploaded to a server, and searching is performed on the server. If the corresponding configuration file is found, a recovery algorithm is automatically saved according to a form and a login information (e.g., a username and a password or an account number and a password) corresponding to the website will be found in the configuration file and then auto-filling is performed. After the account and the password are automatically filled, the account automatically logs in and the user can then access the website logged in page.
If the user does not use fingerprint to save the account and the password of the website before, a normal process needs to be followed. The account number and the password are input in the login box, and the login button is clicked. The browser then pops up a prompt box “Whether to use the fingerprint to save the username and password.” If the user selects “Yes”, fingerprint information, such as a touchID, is collected through the fingerprint sensor. Then the browser may generate a configuration file, and the configuration file is named as a touchID string so that the configuration file is associated with the touchID. Then the webpage URL, the user account name, the password and other information are written into the configuration file and the configuration file is synchronized to the server. When the user accesses the website again, relevant information, such as the saved account name and password, which matches with the fingerprint, automatically fills the login box to automatically login and jump to next page.
In addition, if frequently switching between multiple users is needed, the user can associate different account and password with different fingers. For example, the fingerprint 1 is used for matching with the login account a, and the fingerprint 2 is used for matching with the login account b. Then when the website is accessed, when the finger 1 is scanned, the account a can be logged in, and the account number b is logged in when the finger 2 is scanned. The present application achieves an extremely convenient effect which cannot be realized by the existing account saving function.
