FIG. 2 is a block diagram of the software structure of the electronic device 100 provided by the embodiment of the present application.

The layered architecture divides the software into several layers, and each layer has a clear role and division of labor. Layers communicate through software interfaces. In some embodiments, the Hongmeng system is divided into four layers, which are application layer, application framework layer, system service layer, and kernel layer from top to bottom.

The application layer can include a series of system applications and third-party non-system applications. Among them, the application based on Hongmeng system consists of one or more meta-programs (feature ability, FA) or meta-services (particle ability, PA). Among them, FA has a user interface (UI) interface, which provides the ability to interact with users; while PA has no UI interface, which is used to provide the ability to run tasks in the background and a unified data access abstraction.

As shown in Figure 2, system applications may include applications such as calendar, desktop, control bar, settings, and phone, and third-party applications may include applications such as Tencent Video, Weibo, Toutiao, and Youku Video.

The application framework layer provides an application programming interface (application programming interface, API) and a programming framework for applications in the application layer. The application framework layer includes some predefined functions.

As shown in Figure 2, the application framework layer can include multilingual user program frameworks such as Java/C/C++/JS, ability (Ability) framework, UI framework (including Java UI framework suitable for Java language, suitable for JS language JS UI framework), as well as various software and hardware services open to the outside world, such as multilingual framework APIs.

The system service layer is the core capability set of the Hongmeng system, which provides services to applications through the application framework layer.

As shown in Figure 2, the system service layer may include a basic capability subsystem set, a basic software service subsystem set, an enhanced software service subsystem set, a hardware service subsystem set, and the like.

The system basic capability subsystem set provides basic capabilities for the operation, scheduling, and migration of distributed applications on multiple devices in the Hongmeng system. It consists of distributed soft bus, distributed data management, distributed task scheduling, and Ark multilingual runtime , public basic library, multi-mode input, graphics, security, artificial intelligence (artificial intelligence, AI) and other subsystems.

The basic software service subsystem set provides public and general software services, including event notification, telephone, multimedia, design for each/certain link of the product life cycle (design for x, DFX), mobile sensing development platform (mobile sensing development platform, MSDP) & device virtualization (device virtualization, DV) and other subsystems.

The enhanced software service subsystem set provides differentiated capability-enhanced software services for different devices, and is composed of subsystems such as smart screen proprietary services, wearable proprietary services, and Internet of Things (Internet of Things, IoT) proprietary services.

The hardware service subsystem set provides hardware services and is composed of subsystems such as location services, biometric identification, wearable proprietary hardware services, and IoT proprietary hardware services.

The kernel layer is the layer between hardware and software. The kernel layer mainly acts as a bridge between hardware and software. The kernel layer can include display drivers, camera drivers, audio drivers, sensor drivers, network card drivers, etc.

As shown in FIG. 2, the kernel layer may include a kernel subsystem, a driver subsystem, and a kernel abstraction layer.

Kernel abstract layer (kernel abstract layer, KAL) can shield multi-core differences, and provide basic kernel capabilities to the upper layer, including process/thread management, memory management, file system, network management, and peripheral management.

The driver subsystem includes a hardware driver foundation (HDF), which can provide a unified peripheral access capability and a driver development and management framework.

The workflow of the software and hardware of the electronic device 100 will be exemplarily described below in conjunction with capturing and photographing scenes.

When the touch sensor 180K receives a touch operation, a corresponding hardware interrupt is sent to the kernel layer. The kernel layer processes touch operations into original input events (including touch coordinates, time stamps of touch operations, and other information). Raw input events are stored at the kernel level. The application framework layer obtains the original input event from the kernel layer, and identifies the control corresponding to the input event. Take the touch operation as an example of a touch click operation for illustration. The control corresponding to the click operation is the control of the camera application icon as an example. The camera application calls the interface of the application framework layer to start the camera application, and then starts the camera application by calling the kernel layer. The camera is driven to capture still images or videos through the camera 193.

Address information (such as IP address) of the device. EPC is a set of numbers composed of a version number and three other pieces of data (namely domain name, object type, serial number). The version number is used to identify the version number of the EPC, and different EPC versions correspond to different lengths or types of EPCs; the domain name is information describing the manufacturer related to this EPC number, such as "Huawei Company"; the object type records the precise type of the product Information, for example: "Huawei P40 (a product of Huawei)"; the serial number uniquely identifies a product of a product type, so the serial number can specifically indicate which Huawei P40 it is. The identification information in Table 1 is encoded with the EPC-96Ⅰ coding structure, including 96 binary bits, of which the first 8 bits are the EPC version number, 9-36 bits are the domain name, 37-60 bits are the object type, 61- 96 bits are the serial number, and the identification information shown in Table 1 is in hexadecimal notation. The first electronic device can compare the identification information of an electronic device with the electronic device identification information of each row in the electronic device information data table in turn, and if they are the same, it indicates that it is the same electronic device, so that the address information of the row can be determined as the Address information for electronic devices. Assuming that the identification information of the second electronic device is "010000F7900016F000169D2A", the first electronic device can determine the information corresponding to the second row in Table 1 when comparing the identification information of the second electronic device with the identification information in Table 1 in sequence is the relevant information of the second electronic device, therefore, it can be determined that the address information of the second electronic device is "135.66.34.22".

The user can choose whether to set the second electronic device as the master device according to actual needs. When the first electronic device detects the user's first operation on the first prompt information, it may determine the second electronic device as the master device. For example, when the first electronic device detects the first operation on the master device selection interface, that is, when it detects the first operation for determining the second electronic device as the master device, the first electronic device may respond to the first operation by The second electronic device is set as the main device of the hyper terminal, and can display the hyper terminal interface. Wherein, the master device selection interface may be the user interface 43 shown in FIG. 4E above.

In a case where the user needs the third electronic device to share capabilities with the second electronic device, the first electronic device may obtain information about the third electronic device. Wherein, the first electronic device obtains the information of the third electronic device is the same as the first electronic device obtains the information of the second electronic device, so reference may be made to the related description of step 601 , which will not be described in detail here.

The information of the third electronic device may include connection information of the third electronic device, may further include shared capability information of the third electronic device, and may further include extended capability information of the third electronic device. The connection information, shared capability information, and extended capability information of the third electronic device are similar to those of the second electronic device, so reference can be made to the related description of step 601, and details will not be repeated here.

The first electronic device may determine the address information of the third electronic device according to the connection information of the third electronic device. For detailed description, reference may be made to the above related description of determining the address information of the second electronic device according to the connection information of the second electronic device.

In the absence of the master device, after the first electronic device acquires the information of the third electronic device, it may display second prompt information for prompting the user whether to determine the third electronic device as the master device. For example, a master device selection interface may be displayed, and the master device selection interface includes information about whether to set the touch device as the master device, and a "Yes" confirmation control and a "No" confirmation control for the user to select. The user can choose whether to set the third electronic device as the master device according to actual needs. When the first electronic device detects the user's second operation on the second prompt information, it may determine the third electronic device as the secondary device. That is, when the first electronic device detects the second operation on the main device selection interface, that is, when it detects the second operation for determining the third electronic device as the secondary device, the first electronic device may respond to the second operation, The third electronic device is set as a sub-device of the hyper terminal, and the hyper terminal interface can be displayed. Wherein, the master device selection interface may be the user interface 43 shown in FIG. 4E above. The hyper terminal interface may include an icon of the auxiliary device, and an on/off control of the auxiliary device.

For example, a device function selection interface is displayed, and the device function selection interface may include one or more capability selection controls, continue sharing controls, and finish sharing controls. The user may select a capability that needs to be shared by the third electronic device with the second electronic device from the displayed information of one or more capabilities according to actual needs. When the first electronic device detects a user's selection instruction for some or all of the one or more capabilities included in the shared capability information of the third electronic device, it may determine the selected capability information as capability sharing information. For example, when the first electronic device detects a third operation on the device function selection interface, that is, when it detects a third operation for determining capability sharing information, the first electronic device may respond to the third operation and send the selected capability information to Identify the capabilities to share information. The capability sharing information includes part or all of the capability information in the shared capability information of the third electronic device selected by the user. Wherein, the device function selection interface may be the user interface 45 in the embodiment shown in FIG. 4H above.

The third operation may be an input operation (for example, click) on the capability selection control 451 in the above-mentioned embodiment shown in FIG. 4H . After the first electronic device detects an input operation (for example, click) on the capability selection control 451, in response to the input operation, the capability selection control 451 may display a "√" as shown in FIG. 4H.

Wherein, the hyperterminal interface may include the icon of the main device and the icon of the auxiliary device, as well as the switch control of the main device and the switch key of the auxiliary device.

The fourth operation may be an input operation (for example, click) for completing the sharing control 452 in the above-mentioned embodiment shown in FIG. 4H , and the hyperterminal interface may be the user interface 46 in the above-mentioned embodiment shown in FIG. 4I . After the first electronic device detects an input operation (such as a single click) aimed at completing the sharing control 452, in response to the input operation, the first electronic device may set the electronic device 300 as a secondary device of the HyperTerminal, and may display such as The user interface 46 is shown in FIG. 4I.

Therefore, users can freely build a virtual hyperterminal according to their own needs, so that the capabilities and usage scenarios of a single electronic device can be expanded according to actual needs.

Step 601 may be performed before step 602, or may be performed after step 602.

603: The first electronic device sends the address information and capability sharing information of the third electronic device to the second electronic device.

Since the electronic device cannot use the capabilities of other electronic devices that do not support extensions, when the capability information of the second electronic device includes the extended capability information of the second electronic device, and when the first electronic device sends the second electronic device Before sending the address information and capability sharing information of the third electronic device, the first electronic device may first determine whether the extended capability information of the second electronic device includes capability sharing information; In the case of information, it indicates that the second electronic device does not support the capability shared by the third electronic device. Therefore, the first electronic device may not send the address information and capability sharing information of the third electronic device to the second electronic device, which can reduce unnecessary The information is sent, so that the power consumption of the first electronic device can be reduced. If it is judged that the extended capability information of the second electronic device includes capability sharing information, it indicates that the second electronic device supports extending the capability of the third electronic device selected by the user, and the first electronic device may send the third electronic device to the second electronic device. Device address information and capability sharing information.

It can be seen that when the capability of the third electronic device selected by the user belongs to the extended capability of the second electronic device, that is, when the extended capability information of the second electronic device includes capability sharing information, the first electronic device Sending the address information and capability sharing information of the third electronic device to the second electronic device ensures that after the connection between the second electronic device and the third electronic device is established, the second electronic device can use the capabilities of the third electronic device included in the capability sharing information .

In the case that the capability of the third electronic device selected by the user is the capability of the second electronic device to support extensions, the first electronic device may directly send capability sharing information to the second electronic device, so that the second electronic device may directly Among the capabilities of the third electronic device, the capability corresponding to the capability sharing information can be used. In addition, the first electronic device can also send the second electronic device Send capability sharing information. Specifically, the first electronic device may first send notification information to the third electronic device, where the notification information includes the capability of the third electronic device included in the capability sharing information. Correspondingly, the third electronic device may receive the notification information from the first electronic device, and then may output prompt information for prompting the user whether to share the capability of the third electronic device included in the notification information. Users can choose whether to share their own capabilities included in the prompt information according to the actual situation, and perform corresponding operations on the prompt information. When the third electronic device detects the confirmation operation for the prompt information, it indicates that the third electronic device allows other electronic devices to use its own capabilities included in the notification information, and may send confirmation sharing information to the first electronic device. Correspondingly, the first electronic device may receive confirmation sharing information from the third electronic device, and then may send address information and capability sharing information of the third electronic device to the second electronic device according to the confirmation sharing information.

When the third electronic device detects the rejection operation for the prompt information, it indicates that other electronic devices are not allowed to use its own capabilities included in the notification information, so the third electronic device can send a refusal to share information or not send any information to the first electronic device . In one case, when the third electronic device detects a rejection operation for the prompt information, the third electronic device may send the sharing refusal information to the first electronic device. Correspondingly, the first electronic device may receive the sharing refusal information from the third electronic device, and then may not send the address information and capability sharing information of the third electronic device to the second electronic device according to the sharing refusal information, which may reduce unnecessary information sending, thereby reducing the power consumption of the first electronic device. In addition, after the connection between the second electronic device and the third electronic device is established, the second electronic device cannot use the capability of the third electronic device included in the capability sharing information. In another case, when the third electronic device detects a rejection operation for the prompt information, the third electronic device may not send any information to the first electronic device. Correspondingly, the first electronic device will not receive information from the third electronic device, therefore, if the first electronic device does not receive information from the third electronic device within a period of time, the first electronic device can determine that the third electronic device The device does not share the capability of the third electronic device included in the notification information, and may not send the address information and capability sharing information of the third electronic device to the second electronic device.

It can be seen that the first electronic device can send the address information and capability sharing information of the third electronic device to the second electronic device after receiving the confirmation sharing information from the third electronic device, which can reduce unnecessary information transmission, and thus can The power consumption of the first electronic device is reduced. In addition, it can also be ensured that after the second electronic device establishes a connection with the third electronic device according to the address information of the third electronic device, the second electronic device can use the capabilities of the third electronic device included in the capability sharing information.

In addition, The second electronic device may also determine the available capabilities of the third electronic device according to the capability sharing information of the third electronic device, and use the corresponding capabilities of the third electronic device.

After the second electronic device establishes a communication connection with the third electronic device, the second electronic device can perform two-way communication with the third electronic device, and then the second electronic device can use the capability corresponding to the capability sharing information among the capabilities of the third electronic device. For example, assuming that the second electronic device can use the storage capability of the third electronic device, the second electronic device may first send request information to the third electronic device. Correspondingly, after the third electronic device receives the request information from the second electronic device, it may send the address of the locally available storage space to the second electronic device according to the request information. Therefore, after the second electronic device receives the storage space address from the third electronic device, it can send the data to be stored to the third electronic device, and at the same time, indicate the storage space address. Correspondingly, when the third electronic device receives data from the second electronic device, it can store the data in the corresponding address space. Afterwards, when the second electronic device needs to obtain data stored in the storage space of the third electronic device, the second electronic device may send data request information to the third electronic device, and the data request information may include a storage space address. Correspondingly, after the third electronic device receives the data request information from the second electronic device, the third electronic device can retrieve the data in the corresponding storage space according to the storage space address included in the data request information, and send it to the second electronic device. Correspondingly, the second electronic device can receive data from the third electronic device.
