Tencent has secured a patent for a novel technology aimed at concealing and securing chat conversations.
The “Chat Conversation Display Method, Device, Terminal, and Storage Medium,” was officially granted on October 24. The patent outlines a process to hide chat conversations by relocating them from the primary chat interface to a concealed chat interface.
To access this hidden chat area, users would need to enter a password, establishing a two-step safeguard to keep sensitive conversations private.
Additionally, the patent details a technique for encrypting chat conversations, ensuring that these exchanges are jumbled in a manner that only the user with the correct password can decipher them.
This extra layer of protection preserves conversation privacy, even if unauthorized access to the device occurs.
While Tencent has not disclosed any specific plans for implementing this technology in its products, the patent indicates the company’s interest in finding innovative ways to safeguard the privacy of user communications.
