For example: a near field communication state between a first electronic device and a second electronic device is detected. Correspondingly, the subsequent processing relation parameter generates a control command when the relation parameter indicates that the position between the first electronic device and the second electronic device meets the preset relation, and the subsequent operation responding to the control command also has a corresponding processing mode. The details are described in example two and example three.

In implementation, the first electronic device may detect a distance between itself and the second electronic device in an infrared ranging manner, or may detect a distance between itself and the second electronic device in a bluetooth ranging manner.

It should be noted that, if the first electronic device does not detect the distance to the second electronic device through the infrared ranging method or the bluetooth ranging method, which indicates that the distance between the first electronic device and the second electronic device is relatively long, the distance between the first electronic device and the second electronic device may be determined as a first distance value, where the first distance value is greater than a distance threshold value below.

Based on the control method disclosed by the second embodiment of the invention, when the distance change between the first electronic device and the second electronic device meets the preset relationship, the first electronic device automatically switches between the independent mode and the cooperative mode, so that the management operation of a user can be simplified.

EXAMPLE III

Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a flowchart of a control method disclosed in the third embodiment of the present invention. The control method comprises the following steps:

step S31: a near field communication state between a first electronic device and a second electronic device is detected.

The close range communication mode between the electronic devices includes but is not limited to: the electronic devices communicate with each other through the Bluetooth module, and the electronic devices communicate with each other through the WiFi (Wireless Fidelity) module.

As an embodiment, detecting a near field communication state between a first electronic device and a second electronic device specifically includes: a Bluetooth communication state between a first electronic device and a second electronic device is detected. If the Bluetooth communication between the first electronic device and the second electronic device is in the connection state, the first electronic device and the second electronic device are closer to each other, and if the Bluetooth communication between the first electronic device and the second electronic device is changed from the connection state to the disconnection state, the first electronic device and the second electronic device are farther from each other.

As another embodiment, detecting a near field communication state between a first electronic device and a second electronic device specifically includes: a WiFi communication state between the first electronic device and the second electronic device is detected. If the WiFi communication between the first electronic device and the second electronic device is in the connection state, the fact that the distance between the first electronic device and the second electronic device is short is indicated, and if the WiFi communication between the first electronic device and the second electronic device is changed from the connection state to the disconnection state, the fact that the distance between the first electronic device and the second electronic device is long is indicated.

Step S32: when the near field communication between the first electronic equipment and the second electronic equipment is changed from a disconnection state to a connection state, generating a first control instruction;

step S33: and responding to the first control instruction, and switching the first electronic equipment from the independent mode to the cooperative mode.

Step S34: and generating a second control instruction when the short-distance communication between the first electronic equipment and the second electronic equipment is changed from the connection state to the disconnection state.

Step S35: and responding to a second control instruction, and switching the first electronic equipment from the cooperative mode to the independent mode.

The control method disclosed by the third embodiment of the invention determines the operation mode of the first electronic device according to the short-distance communication state between the first electronic device and the second electronic device, indicates that the distance between the two electronic devices is small when the short-distance communication between the first electronic device and the second electronic device is changed from the disconnection state to the connection state, switches the first electronic device from the independent mode to the cooperative mode, and indicates that the distance between the two electronic devices is large when the short-distance communication between the first electronic device and the second electronic device is changed from the connection state to the disconnection state, and switches the first electronic device from the cooperative mode to the independent mode. Based on the control method disclosed by the third embodiment of the invention, when the change of the near field communication state between the first electronic device and the second electronic device meets the preset condition, the first electronic device automatically switches between the independent mode and the cooperative mode, so that the management operation of a user can be simplified.

Example four

In the control method disclosed in the first to third embodiments of the present invention, the first example of the independent mode and the cooperative mode is:

in the independent mode, a first application in the first electronic equipment is in a function-unlimited state;

in the cooperative mode, a first application of the first electronic device is in a function limited state, the first electronic device receives cooperative processing information sent by the second electronic device, and the cooperative processing information is output by a matched application in the first electronic device. The cooperative processing information is generated by a second application of the second electronic device, and the first application of the first electronic device and the second application of the second electronic device are the same application or matched applications. The matched application refers to that: applications with the same function. For example, different navigation applications are considered matching applications.

In the coordination mode, data interaction is performed between the first electronic device and the second electronic device through a short-range communication method. For example: the first electronic device and the second electronic device perform data interaction through the Bluetooth module, the first electronic device and the second electronic device perform data interaction through the NFC (near field communication) module, and the first electronic device and the second electronic device perform data interaction through the WiFi module.

Often, multiple electronic devices of a user have the same application or functionally the same application, such as: the first electronic device and the second electronic device are both provided with a conversation application and a short message application, and both the first electronic device and the second electronic device are provided with a navigation application and a motion monitoring application.

If the distance between the first electronic device and the second electronic device is long, the first electronic device automatically switches to the independent mode operation. In this case, the application in the first electronic device is in a function-unlimited state, the application in the second electronic device is also in a function-unlimited state, and both the first electronic device and the second electronic device can provide services for the user.

And if the distance between the first electronic equipment and the second electronic equipment is short, the first electronic equipment automatically switches to the cooperative mode operation. In this case, some applications (first applications) in the first electronic device are set to be in a function-limited state, the same or matched applications (second applications) in the second electronic device provide services to the user, the second electronic device only transmits the cooperative processing information generated by the second applications to the first electronic device, and the matched applications in the first electronic device output the cooperative processing information, so that the power consumption of the first electronic device can be reduced.

It should be noted here that the first application in the first electronic device may be one or more applications.

In addition, the first application being in a function-limited state means that: the first application is disabled or a part of the functionality of the first application is disabled.

Accordingly, in a specific application, one embodiment of outputting the cooperative processing information by the matched application in the first electronic device is as follows: in the case where a part of the functions of the first application is disabled, the first electronic device controls the first application to output the co-processing information. Another embodiment of outputting the cooperative processing information by the matched application in the first electronic device is as follows: in the case where the first application is disabled, the first electronic device determines an application capable of outputting the co-processing information, and then controls the application to output the co-processing information.

The following description is made with reference to examples.

Example one

The first electronic device has a first navigation application and the second electronic device has a second navigation application.

When the first electronic device and the second electronic device are in the independent mode, the first navigation application and the second navigation application are both in the function-unlimited state, and navigation information is generated and output through positioning to provide navigation service for a user.

When the first electronic device switches from the independent mode to the cooperative mode, the second electronic device also switches from the independent mode to the cooperative mode. In the collaborative mode, a first navigation application of the first electronic device is disabled, a second navigation application of the second electronic device generates navigation information through positioning, generates navigation prompts according to the navigation information, sends the navigation prompts (such as overspeed prompts and turning prompts) to the first electronic device, the first electronic device determines applications capable of outputting the navigation prompts, and controls the applications to output the received navigation prompts. For example: the first electronic device controls the voice output application to output the received navigation prompt in a voice form. Or, in the collaborative mode, the navigation function of the first navigation application of the first electronic device is disabled, the second navigation application of the second electronic device generates navigation information through positioning, generates navigation prompts according to the navigation information, and sends the navigation prompts (such as overspeed prompts and turning prompts) to the first electronic device, and since the first navigation application is only disabled and the voice output function is not limited, the first electronic device controls the first navigation application to output the navigation prompts.

Example two

The first electronic device is specifically a smart watch, the second electronic device is specifically a mobile phone, and the smart watch and the mobile phone are both provided with a call application and a short message application.

When the smart watch and the mobile phone are in an independent mode, the call application and the short message application of the smart watch and the mobile phone are in an unlimited state, and a user can make a call and send a short message by using the mobile phone and can also make a call and send a short message by using the smart watch.

When the smart watch is switched from the independent mode to the cooperative mode, the mobile phone is also switched from the independent mode to the cooperative mode. In the cooperative mode, the smart watch closes the radio frequency module to reduce the power consumption of the device, and at the moment, the call application and the short message application of the smart watch are in a function limited state, that is to say, a user cannot answer calls of other users or make calls to other users through the smart watch, and cannot send or receive short messages.

In the collaborative mode, when the mobile phone receives an incoming call initiated by other equipment, the call application in the mobile phone generates an incoming call prompt, and the mobile phone sends the incoming call prompt to the smart watch. After receiving the incoming call prompt, the intelligent watch controls the voice output application to output the received incoming call prompt in a voice mode, or controls the display application to output the received incoming call prompt on the display screen.

In the cooperation mode, when the mobile phone receives short messages sent by other equipment, the short message application in the mobile phone generates a new message prompt, and the mobile phone sends the new message prompt to the smart watch. And after receiving the new message prompt, the intelligent watch controls the voice output application to output the received new message prompt in a voice form, or controls the display application to output the received new message prompt on the display screen.

Because the user usually wears the smart watch on the wrist, when the mobile phone receives an incoming call or a short message, an incoming call prompt or a new message prompt is generated and sent to the smart watch, and the smart watch controls the matched application to output the incoming call prompt and the new message prompt, the probability that the user misses the call or sees the short message can be reduced.

EXAMPLE five

In the control method disclosed in the first to third embodiments of the present invention, the second example of the independent mode and the cooperative mode is:

in the independent mode, a first application and a third application in the first electronic equipment are in a function-unlimited state;

in the cooperative mode, a first application of the first electronic device is in a function limited state, the first electronic device receives cooperative processing information sent by the second electronic device, and the cooperative processing information is output by a matched application in the first electronic device. The cooperative processing information is generated by a second application of the second electronic device, and the first application of the first electronic device and the second application of the second electronic device are the same application or matched applications.

And if the distance between the first electronic equipment and the second electronic equipment is short, the first electronic equipment automatically switches to the cooperative mode operation. In the collaborative mode, some applications (first applications) in the first electronic device are in a function-limited state, while some applications (third applications) in the first electronic device are still in a function-unlimited state. The application (second application) which is the same as or matched with the first application in the second electronic equipment provides service for the user, the second electronic equipment only sends the cooperative processing information generated by the second application to the first electronic equipment, and the application matched with the first electronic equipment outputs the cooperative processing information, so that the power consumption of the first electronic equipment can be reduced.

The third application in the first electronic device may refer to: only the applications that the first electronic device has. That is, the second electronic device does not have the third application, and does not have an application matching the third application (i.e., an application having the same function as the third application). Since the second electronic device does not have an application that is the same as or matches the third application, the third application is in a function-unrestricted state regardless of whether the first electronic device is in the standalone mode or in the collaborative mode.

In addition, if the first electronic device and the second electronic device have the same or matched applications, but the application (third application) in the first electronic device can produce a more optimal effect, the third application of the first electronic device is in a function unlimited state regardless of whether the first electronic device is in the standalone mode or the collaborative mode.

For example:

the first electronic device is specifically a smart watch or a smart bracelet, and the second electronic device is specifically a mobile phone. Because the user can wear intelligent wrist-watch or intelligent bracelet next to the shin, therefore intelligent wrist-watch or intelligent bracelet can acquire more accurate user state information, such as more accurate pulse information and action information. If the smart watch or the smart bracelet has the motion detection application, the motion detection application is in an unlimited state no matter the smart watch or the smart bracelet is in an independent mode or a collaborative mode, and therefore the motion state of the user is counted more accurately.

In the fourth and fifth embodiments disclosed in the present invention, the first electronic device is in an independent mode, and when a communication event initiated by the third electronic device is received, a communication event prompt is output, wherein the communication event initiated by the third electronic device is simultaneously pushed to the first electronic device and the second electronic device; the first electronic equipment responds to the received operation instruction and processes a communication event initiated by the third electronic equipment; the first electronic device generates processed prompt information and sends the processed prompt information to the second electronic device, wherein the processed prompt information is used for triggering the second electronic device to mark the communication event initiated by the third electronic device as processed.

The first electronic equipment and the second electronic equipment of the first user can use the main card and the auxiliary card with the same number, or the first electronic equipment and the second electronic equipment use different numbers, and the first electronic equipment and the second electronic equipment using different numbers are bound on the third-party platform. If the third electronic device initiates a communication event (such as a phone call and a short message) to the first user while the first electronic device and the second electronic device are in the standalone mode, the communication event initiated by the third electronic device is pushed to both the first electronic device and the second electronic device.

After the first electronic device and the second electronic device receive a communication event initiated by the third electronic device, a communication event prompt is output, and a user can input an operation instruction at any one electronic device to process the communication event.

If the first user inputs an operation instruction at the first electronic device, the first electronic device responds to the received operation instruction, processes a communication event initiated by the third electronic device, generates processed prompt information and sends the processed prompt information to the second electronic device, and the second electronic device marks the communication event initiated by the third electronic device as processed after receiving the processed prompt information sent by the first electronic device.

If the first user inputs an operation instruction at the second electronic device, the second electronic device responds to the received operation instruction, processes a communication event initiated by the third electronic device, generates processed prompt information and sends the processed prompt information to the first electronic device, and the first electronic device marks the communication event initiated by the third electronic device as processed after receiving the processed prompt information sent by the second electronic device.

It should be noted that, when the first electronic device and the second electronic device are in the independent mode, the near field communication between the first electronic device and the second electronic device is in the disconnected state, and both sending the processed prompt information to the second electronic device by the first electronic device and sending the processed prompt information to the first electronic device by the second electronic device are achieved through the third party platform.

EXAMPLE six

In the control method disclosed in the first to third embodiments of the present invention, a third example of the independent mode and the cooperative mode is:

in the independent mode, the first electronic equipment does not influence the operation of the second electronic equipment, and the operation of the first electronic equipment is not influenced by the second electronic equipment; in the collaboration mode, the first electronic device affects operation of the second electronic device, or operation of the first electronic device is affected by the second electronic device.

It should be noted that, in the independent mode, the operation of the second electronic device is not affected by the first electronic device, and the operation of the first electronic device is not affected by the second electronic device, which means that: the data displayed by the first electronic equipment and the second electronic equipment are not influenced by the other electronic equipment, and the data processing processes of the first electronic equipment and the second electronic equipment are independently carried out and are not influenced by the other electronic equipment.

As an example, in the coordination mode, the first electronic device receives the auxiliary information sent by the second electronic device, and the auxiliary information is output by the matched application in the first electronic device.

The auxiliary information sent by the second electronic device includes: at least one of image information, audio information, video information, and reminder information generated by an application in the second electronic device.

The prompt message generated by the application in the second electronic device includes but is not limited to: when the second electronic equipment receives the incoming call, the incoming call prompt generated by the call application; when the second electronic equipment receives the short message, the short message applies the generated new message prompt; after the navigation application in the second electronic equipment generates the navigation information, a navigation prompt is generated by using the navigation information; motion data (e.g., number of steps and speed of the user walking) generated by the motion detection application in the second electronic device.

Take the first electronic device as a smart watch or a smart bracelet, and the second electronic device as a mobile phone or a tablet computer as an example. Because the computing power of the processor of the intelligent watch and the intelligent bracelet is slightly low, the first electronic device receives image information, audio information, video information or navigation prompts sent by the second electronic device in a collaborative mode, and therefore the computing amount of the first electronic device is reduced.

Take the first electronic device as a mobile phone or a tablet computer, and the second electronic device as an intelligent bracelet or an intelligent watch as an example. The smart watch and the smart bracelet are usually worn on the wrist of a user and can acquire more accurate state information of the user, so that the first electronic device receives motion data which is sent by the second electronic device and generated based on the state information of the user in a collaborative mode.

As another example, in the collaborative mode, the first electronic device sends assistance information to the second electronic device.
