As used herein, the term “and/or” includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items. Expressions such as “at least one of,” when preceding a list of elements, modify the entire list of elements and do not modify the individual elements of the list.
Please refer to FIG. 1 which is a block diagram of an embodiment of a communication system of hiding privacy information in accordance the present disclosure. As shown in the figure, a communication system of hiding privacy information 100 for communication between a first mobile device 10 including a first communication application program 57 and a second mobile device 20 including a second communication application program 58. The first mobile device 10 and the second mobile device 20 may be a smart connection device, such as a smart phone or a tablet, and the communication system of hiding privacy information 100 may be a workstation in the cloud server, a host, a real machine, or a server.
The communication system of hiding privacy information 100 includes a memory 66, a display interface 67 and a connection processor 68. The memory 66 stores a plurality of first identification codes 54 and a plurality of second identification codes 55 corresponding to the plurality of first identification codes 54. Wherein, the memory 66 may include different types of mass storage devices, such as a removable media device, a hard disk drive device (also referred to as a fixed disk device), or an optical drive device. The display interface 67 may be a software interface which is applied to display a master identifying unit 52 and a slave identifying unit 53. Wherein, the master identifying unit 52 and the slave identifying unit 53 may include a two-dimensional bar code, a word, or a QR-code. The connection processor 68 may include a central processor or a microcontroller.
To be more precise, the master identifying unit 52 and the slave identifying unit 53 include a first identification code 54 of the plurality of first identification codes 54 and a second identification code 55 of the plurality of second identification codes 55. The display interface 67 displays the master identifying unit 52 and the slave identifying unit 53 for being detected by the first mobile device 10 or the second mobile device 20, such that the first mobile device 10 acquires the first identification code 54 and adds the first identification code 54 into the first communication application program 57, or the second mobile device 20 acquires the second identification code 55 and adds the second identification code 55 into the second communication application program 58.
The connection processor 68 receives a communication request 59 from the first communication application program 57 or the second communication application program 58. When the communication request 59 is sent from the first communication application program 57, the communication request 59 also includes the first identification code 54, and when the communication request 59 is sent from the second communication application program 58, the communication request 59 also includes the second identification code 55. The connection processor 68 may establish the communication link 60 from the first communication application program 57 to the second communication application program 58 or from the second communication application program 58 to the first communication application program 57 according to the second identification code 55 or the first identification code 54.
Please refer to FIG. 2A, FIG. 2B and FIG. 2C together, which are a first schematic diagram of an embodiment of a communication system of hiding privacy information in accordance the present disclosure, a second schematic diagram of an embodiment of a communication system of hiding privacy information in accordance the present disclosure, and a third schematic diagram of an embodiment of a communication system of hiding privacy information in accordance the present disclosure, respectively. As shown in FIG. 2A, the communication system of hiding privacy information 100 is a communication establishment server 30, and the communication establishment server 30 is applied to store the master identifying unit 52 and the slave identifying unit 53. The master identifying unit 52 and the slave identifying unit 53 are produced by an identifying unit generation program, wherein the identifying unit generation program is applied to establish the master identifying unit 52 and slave identifying unit 53 in pairs, and a communication setting condition 61 is established in the master identifying unit 52 or the slave identifying unit 53. The communication setting condition 61 includes a limited call duration, a specific period of the communication, a manner to make a call, a name of a caller ID or a communication invalidation time. The master identifying unit 52 and the slave identifying unit 53 of the present embodiment apply the QR-code as an example, but it shall be not limited thereto.
In practice, the master identifying unit 52 and the slave identifying unit 53 are shown on the display interface 67 in pairs, and the first identification code 54 and the second identification code 55 are respectively included in the master identifying unit 52 and the slave identifying unit 53. The display interface 67 may be a software interface and transmitted to appear on a computer screen through the network.
As shown in FIG. 2B, the first mobile device 10 and the second mobile device 20 may apply a first image capturing unit 70 and a second image capturing unit 71 to respectively detect the master identifying unit 52 and the slave identifying unit 53 appeared on the display interface 67, such that the first identification code 54 is added to the first communication application program 57 of the first mobile device 10 and the second identification code 54 is added to the second communication application program 58 of the second mobile device 20. The first image capturing unit 70 and the second image capturing unit 71 may be the camera or the scanner. When the detection is completed successfully, a first short cut icon 63 is shown on the screen of the first mobile device 10, and a second shortcut icon 64 is shown on the screen of the second mobile device 20. The user may click on the first short cut icon 63 to perform the first communication application program 57, or click on the second shortcut icon 64 to perform the second communication application program 58.
To be more precise, while the second identification code 55 is added to the second communication application program 58 and the second shortcut icon 64 is generated, the communication setting condition 61 is set in the second communication application program 58 at the same time. When the user performs the second communication application program 58 through the second shortcut icon 64, the second communication application program 58 applies the contents set in the communication setting condition 61.
In practice, the first communication application program 57 and the second communication application program 58 may be arranged on the first mobile device 10 and the second mobile device 20 in advance. Alternatively, when the first mobile device 10 detects the master identifying unit 52 at the first time, the first mobile device 10 automatically downloads and then installs the first communication application program 57. What has to be addressed is that an identification code 69 has to be uploaded to the communication establishment server 30 by the first mobile device 10, such that the communication establishment server 30 is able to apply the identification code 69 associated with the first identification code 54 to establish the first mobile device to connect to the communication link 60 of the other mobile devices.
When clicking on the second shortcut icon 64, the second communication application program 58 sends a communication request 59 including the second identification code 55 to the communication establishment server 30 instantly, such that the communication establishment server 30 searches the first mobile device 10 according to the first identification code 54 and the identification code 69 corresponding to the first mobile device 10, and establishes the communication link 60 from the second communication application program 58 to the first communication application program 57.
As shown in FIG. 2C, when the first mobile device 10 detects another master identifying unit again, a fourth shortcut icon 74 is added and appeared on the screen of the first mobile device 10. A third mobile device 72 detects a slave identifying unit corresponding to the master identifying unit and generates the third shortcut icon 73 to be appeared on the screen of the third mobile device 72. By clicking on the third shortcut icon 73, the communication link 60 from a third communication application program 75 to the first communication application program 57 is established. The establishment method has been described in FIG. 2B, and the unnecessary details are thus no longer given herein.
It is worth mentioning that when the fourth shortcut icon 74 is added, another identification code corresponding to the first communication application program 57 is added, and the communication setup between the third communication application program 75 and the first communication application program 57 is different from the communication setup between the second communication application program 58 and the first communication application program 57. For example, the communication time between the third communication application program 75 and the first communication application program 57 is valid at 18:00-22:00 on every weekday, and the communication time between the second communication application program 58 and the first communication application program 57 is valid at 09:00-18:00 in daytime. When a call is dialed beyond the validation communication time, it fails to perform a communication by the communication system. Such flexible communication system enables the user to choose the communication mode and time between the caller and the receiver.
The user is able to apply for a plurality of personal account numbers in a communication system in terms of the prior art. However, only one account number can perform a communication within a communication time, and the user has to log out the other using account numbers. Consequently, someone with bad intentions may be able to figure out whether these account numbers belong to the same user through the appropriate tests. What is the difference between the prior art and the present disclosure is that the first communication application program 57 of the communication system 100 enables a plurality of identification codes being stored simultaneously, and is able to establish the communication link 60 with the other communication application programs without switching the identification code or logging out the personal identification. As a result, compared with the prior art, the communication system of hiding privacy information of the present disclosure is indeed capable of hiding privacy information so as to avoid the privacy leakage.
FIG. 3 is a flow chart of an embodiment of a communication method of hiding privacy information in accordance the present disclosure.
Step S1 is performing an identifying unit generation program to generate a master identifying unit and a slave identifying unit, the master identifying unit includes a first identification code, and the slave identifying unit includes a second identification code.
Step S2 is storing the first identification code and the second identification code in a communication establishment server.
Step S3 is detecting the master identifying unit by the first mobile device to add the first identification code to a first communication application program of the first mobile device.
Step S4 is detecting the slave identifying unit by the second mobile device to add the second identification code to a second communication application program of the second mobile device.
Step S5 is performing the second communication application program to send a communication request to the communication establishment server, the communication request includes the second identification code.
Step S6 is establishing a communication link from the second communication application program to the first communication application program by the communication establishment server according to the first identification code and the second identification code.
Wherein when the first mobile device detects the master identifying unit at the first time, the first mobile device connects to a cloud server to download and install the first communication application program, the first mobile device uploads an identification code to the communication establishment server, and the communication establishment server uses the first identification code associated with the identification code to establish the communication link.
In conclusion, a communication method of hiding privacy information and a system thereof of the present disclosure enable the user to use the internet phone without an account number, so as to prevent the privacy information being misappropriated by someone with bad intentions. In addition, a communication system of the present disclosure allows a plurality of personal identifications being stored in the communication application program simultaneously and a communication setup is able to be made according to the communication links of various identification codes, such that the user can use the communication link more flexibly. Moreover, the user can use various identification codes to establish a communication link with the others, such that the privacy leakage can be avoided more effectively.
While the means of specific embodiments in present disclosure has been described by reference drawings, numerous modifications and variations could be made thereto by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention set forth in the claims. The modifications and variations should in a range limited by the specification of the present disclosure.
