METHOD AND DEVICE FOR PROCESSING STOLEN TERMINAL

The invention provides multiple methods and devices for processing a stolen terminal. Therein, a method for processing a stolen terminal comprises: receiving a state modification message from a sending party, wherein the state modification message carries the current state of the terminal; and in a case where the state modification message is legal, forwarding the state modification message to a server, so that the server modifies the state information of the terminal stored in the server to be the current state according to the state modification message. By employing embodiments of the invention, the state information of a terminal can be modified, which solves the problem in the prior art that other identification cannot be provided to indicate whether the terminal is stolen or not, and can achieve the beneficial effects of increasing the probability of recovering a stolen terminal and effectively curbing the stealing acts.
