Embodiment

In order to make the application's object, technological means and advantage clearer, below in conjunction with accompanying drawing, the application is described in further details.

Electronic equipment in the application possesses the protocol stack structure shown in Fig. 1 conventionally, thereby assurance distinct electronic apparatuses can be realized interconnected and mutual operation.As shown in Figure 1, this protocol stack structure comprises application layer, interconnection layer, bearing bed and mechanical floor.Wherein, the application is by introduce the connection management to equipment at interconnection layer, thereby it is interconnected and control to realize versatility between distinct device; The main user oriented of application layer, can provide application and the business of many devices interconnect; Bearing bed is mainly used in supporting the interconnected of electronic equipment, comprising various protocols layer, for example, device discovery, equipment (as UPNP), transport layer (supporting TCP/IP etc.), Physical layer (supporting Ethernet, WLAN, bluetooth etc.); Mechanical floor can be comprised of middleware, driving and hardware (screen, audio frequency, sensor).

Particularly, in the application, the basic procedure of the interconnected and control method of electronic equipment comprises:

Step a, electronic equipment are shared its component devices;

Here, shared component devices can be random hardware unit, for example:

1) computing equipment, comprises CPU and internal memory etc.;

2) input equipment, comprises that screen, button and shooting are first-class;

3) output device, comprises screen, receiver J-Horner, receiver and loudspeaker etc.;

4) communication facilities, comprises WIFI unit and 3G unit etc.

Electronic equipment can be shared the component devices of self as required.Especially, the application shares for input-output device, thereby utilizes follow-up processing procedure, can realize operation and control for the input-output device of other electronic equipments.

Step b, main frame send connection request at least one slave, after slave allows to connect, set up the connection between main frame and slave;

Any above-mentioned electronic equipment can initiate to connect as main frame, and main frame has main control function in connection process of establishing.As the electronic equipment of main frame, can share the component devices of self can not share yet.Electronic equipment as slave necessarily need to be shared the component devices of self by step a, only have shared component devices could in subsequent treatment, supply host service function and control.After the connection request of slave Receiving Host, can manual confirmation, complete authentication.

The connection that step c, slave utilization are set up sends to main frame by the attribute information of self shared component devices;

Main frame is unified the attribute information of the shared component devices of each slave being connected with self to preserve.Wherein, attribute information mainly comprises the correlation parameter of component devices, and for example, screen resolution, memory size etc., preferably, wherein can also comprise handle, and this handle of host computer using can be realized the operation to slave shared group forming apparatus.

Steps d, main frame carry out task distribution according to the demand of the attribute information of component devices and application, according to the task of distributing to the component devices of each slave, operate and control corresponding component devices.

The application of carrying out for needs, main frame carries out task distribution, the attribute information (such as screen size, resolution, input and output type etc.) of each slave machine equipment of preserving with reference to unification when task is distributed, the component devices of each slave of unified allocation of resources, the demand of online realization application, the content of distributing according to task again, operates and controls each component devices of sharing.

So far, in the application, the interconnected and control method flow process of the most basic electronic equipment finishes.In said method flow process, the application demand based on special, can utilize slave manually to connect authentication, to ensure the security of slave machine equipment operating.Meanwhile, in above-mentioned flow process, interconnected by electronic equipment, can make small and exquisite electronic equipment realize stronger maneuverability and performance to the sharing arbitrarily hardware device and operate of electronic equipment, and brings the abundanter application of user and experiences.

Further, in the interconnected and control method of above-mentioned electronic equipment, can also utilize the connection transmission main frame of foundation and the position relationship information of slave, main frame can be according to position relationship information, carry out better that task is distributed and the operation and controlling of component devices.And, consider for various demand, can set in advance multiple online strategy, adopt according to the actual requirements the online strategy of the best of selecting to carry out task distribution and/or slave is operated to control, to bring more selection of user, experience with abundanter application.

Below by the flow process shown in Fig. 2, to the electronic equipment in the application is interconnected, describe in detail with control method.As shown in Figure 2, this flow process specifically comprises:

Step 201, electronic equipment is shared the component devices of self.

Step 202, main frame is initiated connection request at least one slave, after slave allows to connect, sets up the connection between main frame and slave.

Wherein, when main frame need to connect with a plurality of slaves, can to each slave, initiate connection request and set up corresponding connection one by one.

Step 203, the connection that slave utilization is set up sends to main frame by the attribute information of its shared component devices and handle.

Wherein, the operation of step 202～203 is identical with step b with abovementioned steps a.Main frame can connect respectively with one or more slaves, obtains the attribute information of each slave machine equipment and preserves, and sets up the information of shared resource.Specifically which slave to initiate connection request to, can carry out according to the demand of on-line Application, also can directly to the slave of all shared group forming apparatus that detect, initiate connection request.

Specifically carry out shared device detection and be connected the processing of setting up, can utilize existing mode to carry out, just repeating no more here.

In addition, for some application, relevant to position, in the application, be called position dependent form application, for example, a plurality of electronic display screens are spliced into a complete screen and carry out image demonstration etc.Based on this, preferably, as previously mentioned, for carrying out better task distribution, main frame can also obtain slave with respect to the relative position information of main frame, specifically can utilize following operation to realize:

Step 204, main frame obtains self to the relative position information of slave.

The mode that main frame obtains relative position information can be the manual input that receives user, or also can carry out automatic detection by sensor, compass etc.

The expression mode of relative position information can preset as required, and main frame, in interconnected process, obtains corresponding positional information according to the expression mode of setting.

Here, provide two kinds of typical relative position informations and represent mode, corresponding two kinds of topological structures:

Ring topology, is only concerned about that main frame is to relative distance and the relative orientation of slave, and relative position information comprises that main frame is to relative distance L and the relative orientation a of slave;

Flat topology, be concerned about that main frame is to the placing direction of relative distance (optional getting parms), relative orientation (optional getting parms) and the slave of slave, relative position information comprises that main frame is to optional the getting parms of relative distance L(of slave), relative orientation a(is optional gets parms) and the placing direction b of slave.Specifically as shown in Figure 3.

Below in conjunction with Fig. 3, introduce the concrete mode of obtaining above-mentioned relative distance L, relative orientation a and placing direction b by the mode of automatic detection:

1) slave determines that by the position transducer of self slave, to the relative distance L of main frame, sends to main frame; Or, can also by the position transducer of self, determine this relative distance L by main frame; Wherein, the starting point that starts to calculate distance is the position at position transducer place.

2) main frame is by obtaining relative orientation a=2* ∏ * t/T sweep time, and wherein, t is the time of the scan period IT slave of 360 degree, and T is the scan period duration of 360 degree.For example, start the scanning of counterclockwise 360 degree from the x direction of principal axis of mobile phone horizontal positioned, in the moment, t=1ms scans slave, and the whole scan period is 10ms, and slave is positioned in the forward 36 degree directions of mobile phone horizontal positioned; Particularly, main frame can be by acquisition sensor scanning slaves such as infrared, ultrasound waves.

3) absolute direction that slave utilizes compass etc. to obtain self the to put angle of direct north (for example with respect to) also sends to main frame, the absolute direction that main frame is put according to self and the slave receiving are put absolute direction, determine that slave is with respect to the placing direction b of main frame, the angle between the absolute direction that the absolute direction that specifically main frame can be put and slave are put is as placing direction b.

The above-mentioned measurement for relative position information and obtaining, goes for main frame and slave and is positioned at conplane situation.Main frame can obtain the relative position information of slave by the way, the attribute information of this relative position information and aforementioned component equipment together can be preserved, and forms the information of shared resource, as following table:

Table 1

Step 205, main frame carries out task distribution according to the attribute information of component devices to pending application, and the handle according to the component devices of distributing to the task of each slave machine equipment and obtaining, operates and controls corresponding component devices.

For the application of non-position dependent form, do not need to consider that main frame is with respect to the relative position relation of slave, can only according to the attribute information of component devices, to application, carry out task distribution.And apply for position dependent form, divide timing carrying out task, except carrying out according to the attribute information of component devices, also need additionally to consider that relative position information carries out task distribution to application, thereby it is more reasonable to make task distribute, effectively utilize the online on-line Application that realizes of polyelectron equipment.

In addition, for the application of position dependent form, by different online strategies is set, can realize different online effects.Particularly, can set in advance multiple online strategy, when realizing concrete application, the online strategy according to selecting, carries out operation and the control of task distribution and/or shared group forming apparatus, to realize different on-line Application effects.The concrete online strategy arranging can comprise:

1) plant factor maximizes strategy, such as the output area of picture is maximum;

2) user experiences optimal strategy, from the impression of the vision sense of hearing, such as the positive dirction of output content viewable is consistent;

3) application-specific strategy, such as according to the relative position information changing, dynamically adjusts the content of output.

Wherein, above-mentioned online strategy can automatically have been calculated by main frame when on-line working, also can manual definition.

When carrying out the operation of component devices and specifically controlling, the result of distributing according to task and the online strategy of selection carry out, and utilize the handle of the component devices obtaining to realize operation and the control for component devices.

Step 206, when needs exit in-line processing, main frame or slave send the request of exiting connection to opposite end, and after receive opposite end, response allows to exit; Send the connection that the electronic equipment that exits connection request receives that rear disconnection is set up.

Exit while processing connecting, main frame need to be before exiting connection, the corresponding information of the related slave machine equipment of the connection of exiting need to be deleted, and comprises attribute information and the relative position information of component devices.

So far, the method flow shown in Fig. 2 finishes.In above-mentioned flow process, for position dependent form application, for the operation (being step 204) of obtaining of relative position information, can be arbitrarily with the execution sequence of step 203, can successively carry out or execution simultaneously.In addition, preferably, main frame can also periodically carry out for obtaining of relative position information, when detecting host relative position information changes, can according to the relative position information after changing, re-start corresponding task and distribute, thereby make application can adapt to better the change in location of electronic equipment.

Provide below under several typical on-line Application, under the concrete mode that task is distributed and different online strategy to the operation of component devices and control.

Example one: two-shipper is interconnected, a main frame and a slave connect

A) video telephony applications

Therefore video telephony applications is the application of non-position dependent form, divides timing not need to consider that main frame is to the relative position information of slave carrying out task.When the shared component devices of slave is audio frequency and video input-output device, can realize video telephony applications.Divide timing carrying out task, can be using one in main frame and slave as speech input output device, another is as picture output device.For example, two mobile phones are interconnected as electronic equipment, when slave is shared camera and during as the screen of output display, can, using the mobile phone of main frame as telephone set, be checked window and video capture instrument using the mobile phone of slave as video.Or, divide timing carrying out task, can be using one in main frame and slave as phonetic entry and video input apparatus, another is as voice output and picture output device.

B) input and output of position dependent form application

Typical application can be as shown in Figure 4, and shared component devices comprises the screen as input-output device, and topological result is flat topology structure, and relative position information comprises the placing direction of relative distance, relative orientation and the slave of main frame and slave.

Dividing timing carrying out task, can be two parts of input and output by Task-decomposing, may be more suitable for as input, using the screen of main frame as input, using the screen of slave as output by main frame as required;

When carrying out the demonstration of slave output content, can show according to relative position information.For example, when the strategy of selecting is experienced optimal strategy for user, the demonstration forward of often wishing entr screen and output screen is consistent, so that user obtains best visual experience, can the placing direction with respect to main frame show on the screen of slave according to slave, make the demonstration forward of slave and the demonstration forward of main frame parallel; When the strategy of selecting is plant factor maximization strategy, often wish to show the more information content on whole screen, can show according to the screen attribute of slave, the screen utilization factor of slave is maximized, and displaying contents is maximum.When carrying out the control of slave screen, can utilize RPC (remote procedure call) to operate the output display of slave screen.
