The embodiment of the disclosure provides a method, a device and a computer system for searching electronic equipment. The method for searching the electronic equipment comprises the steps of receiving an instruction for searching the electronic equipment, obtaining positioning information of the electronic equipment, obtaining environment information of the current environment of the electronic equipment, and sending the positioning information and the environment information to second electronic equipment sending the instruction. The embodiment of the disclosure also provides a method for searching for the electronic equipment, a corresponding device and a computer system which are applied to the second electronic equipment. The method for searching for the electronic equipment applied to the second electronic equipment comprises the steps of receiving a user instruction for searching for the electronic equipment, sending the instruction for searching for the electronic equipment, and receiving the positioning information of the electronic equipment and the environment information of the current environment of the electronic equipment so as to determine the current position of the electronic equipment. The electronic device and the second electronic device have a pairing relationship.
According to the embodiment of the disclosure, when the electronic device needs to be searched, for example, when the electronic device is not at hand (for example, the electronic device is lost or does not remember where the electronic device is placed), the positioning information of the electronic device and the environment information of the environment where the electronic device is currently located can be acquired. Specifically, according to the embodiment of the present disclosure, in the process of searching for the electronic device, not only the positioning information of the electronic device but also environment information of the electronic device (for example, image information, video information, or sound information of the environment where the electronic device is located) may be obtained. Therefore, more information about the current position of the electronic equipment can be provided for the user, and the user is helped to judge the current position of the electronic equipment and even the current state of the electronic equipment more accurately (for example, whether the electronic equipment is at home, or on a taxi, or is held by a stranger so as to determine that the electronic equipment is stolen according to the environmental information, and the like).
Fig. 1A to 1C schematically illustrate a method and an apparatus for finding an electronic device, and an application scenario of the method and the apparatus for finding an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. It should be noted that fig. 1A to 1C are only examples of scenarios in which the embodiments of the present disclosure may be applied to help those skilled in the art understand the technical content of the present disclosure, but do not mean that the embodiments of the present disclosure may not be applied to other devices, systems, environments or scenarios.
In particular, fig. 1A schematically illustrates a scenario in which a user interacts with a second electronic device 200 to find the electronic device 100. Fig. 1B schematically shows a scenario in which the environment in which the electronic device 100 is currently located is a room. FIG. 1C schematically illustrates another type of scenario in which the environment in which electronic device 100 is currently located is being held by another person. It is understood that the two types of scenes of the environment in which the electronic device 100 is currently located exemplarily shown in fig. 1B and 1C are merely an illustrative example, and the environment in which the electronic device 100 is currently located may be various in practice (for example, the electronic device 100 is on a taxi, on a subway, dropped in an elevator hall or a corridor, and the like).
As shown in fig. 1A to 1C, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a user finds the electronic device 100 through an interactive operation at the second electronic device 200. Specifically, the second electronic device 200 transmits an instruction to find the electronic device 100 after receiving a user instruction to find the electronic device 100.
After receiving the instruction for searching for the electronic device 100 sent by the second electronic device 200, the electronic device 100 may obtain the positioning information of the electronic device 100 through a positioning device (e.g., a GPS global positioning system, a base station positioning system, a WIFI wireless local area network positioning system, etc.). Meanwhile, the environment information of the current environment of the electronic device 100 may also be acquired through an image acquisition device, a video acquisition device, an audio acquisition device, or various sensors. Then, the electronic device 100 may send the acquired positioning information of the electronic device 100 and the environment information of the current environment to the second electronic device 200.
When the second electronic device 200 receives the positioning information of the electronic device 100 and the environment information of the current environment, the current position and state of the electronic device 100 can be accurately determined based on the positioning information and the environment information.
The following description will take the environment information of the current environment of the electronic device 100 as the image information as an example.
For example, when the electronic device 100 is in the scene shown in fig. 1B, and the user searches for the electronic device 100 through the second electronic device 200, the image information of the room in which the electronic device 100 is located may be acquired while the positioning information of the electronic device 100 is acquired. It is assumed that in the scenario of fig. 1B, it is known that the electronic device 100 is located at the home of the user through the positioning information. At this time, it cannot be completely determined that the electronic device 100 is in the user's home only by means of the positioning information (because the electronic device 100 may be located in an elevator hall or a stairway of the floor where the user's home is located). In this case, if the image of the environment in which the electronic apparatus 100 is located, which is acquired by the user through the second electronic apparatus 200, is exactly the image of the room of the user's home, the user can completely determine that the electronic apparatus 100 is located at the home. Therefore, according to the embodiment of the disclosure, more information can be provided for the user in the process of searching the electronic device 100, so as to help the user to more accurately judge the current position and the current state of the electronic device 100.
For another example, when the electronic device 100 is in the scene shown in fig. 1C, and the user searches for the electronic device 100 through the second electronic device 200, the image of the person currently holding the electronic device 100 may be acquired while acquiring the positioning information of the electronic device 100. If the acquired image of the person currently holding the electronic device 100 is an image of a person known by the user (e.g., the electronic device 100 may be taken by the user's family), it may be determined that the electronic device 100 is in a secure state. In contrast, if the acquired image of the person currently holding the electronic apparatus 100 is an image of a person unknown to the user, the user can determine that the electronic apparatus 100 is stolen. Furthermore, the presence of the thief can also be determined from an image of the person currently holding the electronic device 100. Meanwhile, the positioning information of the electronic device 100 can assist the police to retrieve the electronic device 100 as soon as possible. This may improve the probability of the electronic device 100 being lost and then being retrieved.
In the application scenarios shown in fig. 1A to 1C, the signal transmission between the second electronic device 200 and the electronic device 100 may be through radio communication, through the internet, through other wireless connection manners, or through a combination of multiple wireless connection transmissions, and the disclosure is not limited thereto.
It should be understood that the second electronic device 200 and the electronic device 100 are both illustrated as electronic devices with display means (e.g. IPAD or mobile phone) in the application scenarios shown in fig. 1A to 1C are only an example. In some embodiments, the second electronic device 200 and the electronic device 100 may also be electronic devices without a display device, for example, various types of electronic devices such as an earphone, a microphone, a sound, and the like. According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, the second electronic device 200 and the electronic device 100 may be any one form or type of electronic device, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.
Fig. 2 schematically shows a flow chart of a method for finding an electronic device 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
As shown in fig. 2, the method for finding the electronic device 100 is applied to the electronic device 100 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure. The method includes operations S210 to S240.
In operation S210, an instruction to find the electronic apparatus 100 is received.
In operation S220, location information of the electronic device 100 is acquired. Specifically, the geographic location information of the electronic device 100 may be obtained through a GPS global positioning system, a base station positioning system, a WIFI wireless local area network positioning system, or the like.
In operation S230, environment information of an environment in which the electronic device 100 is currently located is acquired. For example, some or all of the information such as the image picture, the video picture, the sound information, the light intensity, the temperature and the humidity of the environment where the electronic device 100 is currently located may be acquired by an image acquiring device, a video acquiring device, an audio acquiring device, an image sensor, or the like. In some embodiments, the environment information of the current environment of the electronic device 100 may further be information such as an image, a video, a sound, a light intensity, a temperature, a humidity, and the like of the current environment of the electronic device 100, which is further processed and converted into text information or voice information by means of artificial intelligence and the like.
In operation S240, the location information and the environment information are transmitted to the second electronic device 200 that transmits the instruction of the finding electronic device 100.
According to the embodiment of the disclosure, when the electronic device 100 needs to be searched, not only the positioning information of the electronic device 100 but also the environment information of the electronic device 100 (for example, image information, video information, sound information, ambient light information, and the like of the environment where the electronic device 100 is located) can be obtained, so that more information about the current location of the electronic device 100 can be provided for a user, and the user can be helped to judge the current location and the current status of the electronic device 100 more accurately (for example, whether the electronic device 100 is located at home, or on a taxi, or is held by a stranger to determine that the electronic device 100 is stolen, and the like can be accurately judged according to the environment information).
Fig. 3 schematically shows a flowchart of a method for acquiring environment information of an environment in which the electronic device 100 is currently located according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
As shown in fig. 3, in case that the environment information includes image information of an environment in which the electronic device 100 is currently located, operation S210 further includes operation S211 and operation S212 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
In operation S211, the camera of the electronic apparatus 100 is activated.
In operation S212, an image of an environment in which the electronic device 100 is currently located is captured by the camera.
According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the electronic apparatus 100 includes a plurality of cameras whose shooting angles are different from each other. Acquiring the image of the current environment of the electronic device 100 by the camera includes acquiring the image of the current environment of the electronic device 100 by at least two cameras of the plurality of cameras respectively.
At least two cameras in the plurality of cameras respectively acquire image pictures of the current environment of the electronic device 100, and images of the current environment of the electronic device 100 at a plurality of angles can be obtained. For example, for a cell phone with a front camera and a rear camera, when the cell phone is placed on a table or other object with the front side up, the image captured by the rear camera may be a black patch. In this way, any information of the current environment of the electronic device 100 cannot be acquired from the image taken by the rear camera alone. In this case, according to the embodiment of the present disclosure, the image information of the current environment of the electronic apparatus 100 can be acquired by simultaneously capturing the image through the front camera. Therefore, when the electronic device 100 includes a plurality of cameras with different shooting angles, at least two cameras of the plurality of cameras respectively collect image frames of the current environment where the electronic device 100 is located, and the probability of obtaining the validity of the environment information of the current environment where the electronic device 100 is located can be greatly improved.
Fig. 4 schematically shows a flow chart of a method for finding an electronic device 100 according to another embodiment of the present disclosure.
As shown in fig. 4, according to another embodiment of the present disclosure, the method for finding the electronic device 100 includes operation S410 in addition to operation S210 to operation S240.
In operation S410, a pairing relationship of the second electronic device 200 and the electronic device 100 is established. In some embodiments, the second electronic device 200 and the electronic device 100 may form a pairing relationship through bluetooth. In other embodiments, the information of the first electronic device 100 may be registered in the second electronic device 200.
By establishing the pairing relationship between the second electronic device 200 and the electronic device 100, the electronic device 100 may receive an instruction sent by the second electronic device 200 to search for the electronic device 100, thereby implementing the search for the electronic device 100.
Fig. 5 schematically shows a block diagram of an apparatus 500 for finding an electronic device 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
As shown in fig. 5, the apparatus 500 includes a search instruction receiving module 510, a positioning information obtaining module 520, an environment information obtaining module 530, and a sending module 540.

According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, in a case that the environment information includes image information of an environment where the electronic device 100 is currently located, acquiring the environment information of the environment where the electronic device 100 is currently located includes starting a camera of the electronic device 100, and acquiring an image picture of the environment where the electronic device 100 is currently located through the camera.
According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the electronic apparatus 100 includes a plurality of cameras whose shooting angles are different from each other. The image picture of the current environment of the electronic device 100 is acquired through the cameras, including acquiring the image picture of the current environment of the electronic device 100 through at least two cameras in the plurality of cameras respectively.
According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the apparatus 500 searches for the electronic device 100, not only the positioning information of the electronic device 100 is obtained, but also the environment information of the electronic device 100 (for example, image information, video information, sound information, ambient light information, and the like of the environment where the electronic device 100 is located) is obtained, so that more information about the current location of the electronic device 100 can be provided for a user, and the user can be helped to more accurately judge the current location and the current state of the electronic device 100, which may be specifically referred to the description above with reference to fig. 2 to fig. 4, and is not repeated here.
It is to be understood that the search instruction receiving module 510, the positioning information obtaining module 520, the environment information obtaining module 530, the sending module 540, and the pairing relationship establishing module 550 may be combined and implemented in one module, or any one of the modules may be split into a plurality of modules.
