ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR PROTECTING APPLICATIONS THEREOF

The embodiment of the present invention discloses a method for protecting application programs of an electronic apparatus. The electronic apparatus is provided with a touch screen, and stores a screen sharing program, other application programs, a prohibited list, a first touch track and a second touch track. The electronic apparatus runs the screen sharing program to share the screen, and senses a touch track of a user on the touch screen, when the first touch track is sensed, adds an application program corresponding to the first touch track into the prohibited list; when the second touch track is sensed, deletes an application program corresponding to the second touch track from the prohibited list; and when a point touch is sensed, searches for whether an application program corresponding to the point touch is in the prohibited list, if the application program corresponding to the point touch is in the prohibited list, the screen sharing program stops screen sharing and then runs the application program; if the application program corresponding to the point touch is not in the prohibited list, the application program is run, and the screen sharing program performs normal screen sharing.
