An interesting thing happened recently about the liftable camera: it sometimes suddenly looks up at you.
Similar problems were found after testing vivo NEX and OPPO Find X
Because when using the QQ browser, the camera popped up and retracted. QQ browser issued an emergency statement stating that we did not secretly take photos, and vivo subsequently released an update package.
When using some software and secretly popping up the camera, the user will be asked for a second confirmation, and it has also updated a function that flashes a red light on the forehead if an app is recording in the background. After updating the new version of the application, another piece of software crashed on the vivo NEX phone, which is Baidu input method.
Recently, some vivo NEX users reported that they did not perform any operations on the input interface when using Baidu IME, but were prompted that Baidu IME was recording.
The effect is this:

The Baidu Input Method team officially responded that under any circumstances, Baidu Input Method will not record without the user's consent, nor will it use any means to collect privacy.
Baidu input method has been preliminarily judged by self-examination, and the reason for this phenomenon is that in scene-based voice and voice panel usage scenarios, Baidu input method has optimized the microphone warm-up. The purpose is to speed up the voice start speed and solve the previous user feedback The problem of missing words in speech recognition resulted in vivo NEX thinking that Baidu Input Method had started recording.
In addition, due to the particularity of the input method application, even if the input method panel is in the foreground, the vivo system will still determine that the input method is a background application, resulting in a prompt "Baidu input method is recording in the background".
Baidu also emphasized that there are no similar prompts on mobile phones of other brands and models, and that the scene voice function will be further optimized in the future.
If users feel uncomfortable, they can manually turn off the scene voice function of Baidu input method.
Through this phenomenon, we can understand that this kind of mobile phone with a lift camera has become a mirror of the Chinese mobile phone software industry.
We are willing to trust Tencent and Baidu, and believe that they do not have the authority to call users privately.
But there may be a lot of other software that will call all kinds of permissions in your phone.
Among them, a piece of software will call you a lot of permissions. Why do you want your address book for a flashlight function? What does a wallet function need your SMS for? When they did this before, our mobile phone did not respond. Maybe we just pretended not to know that they were using our permissions, or we simply forgot about it.
But now, with the emergence of the proactive and special mobile phones of the OV two, this behavior has been arrogantly displayed. This time we don't want to know but also know, and we also need to remember what we forgot.
This is a bit like the kid who tells the truth in the emperor's new clothes.
So far, only two software have this problem, the Ctrip page of the QQ browser and the voice input function of Baidu input method.
We hope that most of the software is good, but there is a problem you need to know: the two flagships of OV have just started selling, and OPPO Find X has not even started selling. The current sales are very low and not many people use it.
Here we need to remind many software vendors, especially those mobile apps that call a large number of user permissions, it is best to return the initiative to the users as soon as possible.
Because once more people start using these special pop-up camera phones, your software may be exposed.
