Permission management method for applications, electronic device thereof, and computer readable medium

摘要

A permission management method for an electronic device capable of installing at least one application is illustrated. The electronic device comprises a plurality of accessible operational functions. The method prepares a management table for recording corresponding operational functions that the application needs to access while performing the application, and a permission management program for controlling the management table. The permission management program may be performed to change the permission state of each operational function corresponding to the installed application. When the application installed in the device is performed and one of the operational functions is requested, the records in the management table are referred to determine whether the application is allowed to access the requested operational function.

1. A permission management method for an electronic device capable of installing at least one application program, the electronic device comprising a plurality of accessible operational functions, the method comprising:
providing a management table and a permission management program for managing the management table; reading an authority access list of the application when the application is installed into the electronic device, the authority access list having identification data and at least one authority item, each authority item corresponding to one of the accessible operational functions, the application accessing the operational function corresponding to the authority item while performing the application; writing the identification data of the application to the management table according to the authority access list, and labeling the permission state of the operational function corresponding to the authority item in the management table as accessible for the application, labeling the permission states of other operational functions not corresponding to the authority item in the management table as inaccessible for the application; after installing the application, performing the permission management program to change the permission state of each operational function accessible for the installed application according to the authority item; and referring the records in the management table to determine whether the application is allowed to access a requested operational function of the plurality of accessible operational functions when the application installed in the device is performed and one of the operational functions is requested, such that the electronic device prevents the application from acquiring authority access beyond an original authority access area of the application and from expanding an ability of accessing system resources.
