METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ENHANCING THE PRIVACY OF CONTACT INFORMATION IN PROFILE

摘要

PURPOSE: A method and a system for protecting the privacy of contact information are provided to prevent contact information from being exposed to the outside by restricting access rights for the contact information. CONSTITUTION: An acquisition attempt sensing unit(110) senses an external communication terminal which attempts to acquire contact information included in a profile. An access control unit(120) determines the provision of the contact address by authenticating permission for the external communication terminal according to an acquisition attempt. When the external communication terminal is sensed, the access control unit displays CAPTCHA(Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart) and receives a return message for the displayed CAPTCHA. When the CAPTCHA is matched with the return message, the access control unit allows a user to access the contact address by authenticating the permission for the external communication terminal.
