Detailed Description

Reference will now be made in detail to the exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, like numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present invention. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of the present invention.

Before explaining the embodiments of the present disclosure in detail, an application scenario of the embodiments of the present disclosure is introduced:

with the continuous development of terminal technology, more and more game applications are installed on the terminal, and the applications are strongly pursued by a large number of users, but simultaneously, the applications bring great negative effects to the users. For example, pupils have poor self-control, and when holding the terminal, they are often attracted to the game application installed on the terminal, and further, the time spent on the terminal is increased, resulting in a delay in learning and/or a loss of property. For this reason, some game application merchants introduced health systems of player age limits and online time, but still could not effectively improve the negative impact that the game brings to the user, like students who delay the industry because of handwalks and even news that parents spend a lot of money on them. On the other hand, the terminal has become an increasingly indispensable necessity in life at present, and therefore parents must not wear the terminal to children.

At present, parents wear terminals for children mainly to ensure the life safety of the children, and for this reason, parents usually control a second terminal worn by the children to return position information of the second terminal through a first terminal, so as to acquire the position information of the children. Oral education is often performed when the household finds that children spend much time on the terminal. However, on the one hand, oral education does not work effectively, and on the other hand, only the position information of the child is acquired through the terminal, and the function of the terminal is not sufficiently exerted. Therefore, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for controlling a terminal, by which a parent can effectively control a child to use the terminal, and fully exert the functions of the terminal.

In step 101, a process information acquisition request is sent to a cloud server, where the process information acquisition request carries a terminal identifier of a second terminal associated with the first terminal.

In step 102, process information of the currently running process of the second terminal, which is returned by the cloud server, is received, and a control instruction for a target process in the currently running process is generated according to the process information.

In step 103, the control instruction is sent to the cloud server, so that the cloud server forwards the control instruction to the second terminal, where the control instruction is used to control the second terminal to execute a control operation corresponding to the control instruction.

Optionally, generating a control instruction for a target process in the currently running process according to the process information includes:

Optionally, generating a control instruction corresponding to the selected operation button includes:

determining whether the first terminal logs in the cloud server;

All the above optional technical solutions can be combined arbitrarily to form optional embodiments of the present disclosure, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not described in detail again.

Fig. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a method of controlling a terminal, which is applied to a second terminal, as shown in fig. 2, according to an exemplary embodiment, and includes the following steps.

In step 201, process information of a currently running process is collected.

In step 202, the process information is sent to a cloud server, so that the cloud server forwards the process information to a first terminal associated with the second terminal when the first terminal acquires the process information.

In step 203, a control instruction of the first terminal to a target process in the currently running process, which is returned by the cloud server, is received, and a control operation corresponding to the control instruction is executed.

Optionally, executing a control operation corresponding to the control instruction includes:

Optionally, after the usage right of the target process is set as the usage right included in the right setting instruction, the method further includes:

Optionally, before sending the process information to the cloud server, the method further includes:

determining whether the second terminal logs in the cloud server;

and when the second terminal logs in the cloud server, executing the step of sending the process information of the running process of the second terminal to the cloud server.

Fig. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a method of controlling a terminal according to an exemplary embodiment, which will be described in detail with reference to fig. 1. As shown in fig. 3, the method includes the following steps.

In step 301, the second terminal collects process information of a currently running process and sends the process information to the cloud server.

In order to facilitate a user to check and control the currently running process of the second terminal on the first terminal through the cloud server, the second terminal can acquire process information of the currently running process and send the process information to the cloud server.

In a possible embodiment, the second terminal may actively acquire the process information of the currently running process, or may passively acquire the process information of the currently running process. When the second terminal passively collects the process information of the currently running process, the second terminal can receive a first process collection instruction sent by the cloud server, and then collects the process information of the currently running process under the trigger of the first process collection instruction. The first process acquisition instruction is used for instructing the second terminal to acquire the process information of the current running process.

It should be noted that the collected process information may include a process identifier, a time for starting to run the process, and a time length for the process to have run at the collection time. For example, the currently running process of the second terminal is game process 1, the identifier of game process 1 is game 1, the time for starting running game process 1 is 10:00, the acquisition time for acquiring the process information of game process 1 is 10:30, and the running time of game process 1 is 30min after the acquisition time. Therefore, the progress information of the game progress 1 is collected as the game 1, the time for starting the progress running is 10:00, and the running time is 30 min. Of course, the process information may also include other information of the process, which is not limited in this disclosure.

In addition, the second terminal may send the process information to the cloud server after acquiring the process information of the currently running process.

It should be noted that after the second terminal collects the process information of the current running process, it may be determined whether the second terminal logs in the cloud server, and when it is determined that the second terminal logs in the cloud server, the process information is sent to the cloud server.

In another possible embodiment, the second terminal may collect process information of a process running at a current time, and may also collect process information of a process running at a specified time before the current time. Under the condition, the second terminal can store the process information of the running process in real time, and when the second terminal collects the process information, the stored process information of the running process can be obtained.

It should be noted that the second terminal may actively acquire the process information of the process running at the specified time before the current time, or may passively acquire the process information of the process running at the specified time before the current time. When the second terminal passively acquires the process information of the process running at the specified time before the current time, the second terminal may receive a second process acquisition instruction sent by the cloud server, and then acquire the process information of the process running at the specified time before the current time under the trigger of the second process acquisition instruction. The second process acquisition instruction can carry a first designated time at which the running process needs to be acquired, and the second process acquisition instruction is used for instructing the second terminal to acquire the process information of the running process at the first designated time.

It should be noted that, in another possible embodiment, the collected process information may include a process identifier, a time when the process starts to run, and a time when the process ends to run. For example, the current time is 10:00, the second terminal needs to collect the process information of the running process with the first designated time being 9:00, the running process with the 9:00 is game process 1, the identifier of the game process 1 is game 1, the time for starting running the game process 1 is 8:30, and the time for finishing running the game process 1 is 9: 10. Therefore, the progress information of the game progress 1 is collected as the game 1, the time for starting the progress is 8:30, and the time for ending the progress of the game progress 1 is 9: 10. Of course, the process information may also include other information of the process, which is not limited in this disclosure.

In addition, the second terminal may send the process information to the cloud server after acquiring the process information of the running process at the specified time before the current time.

It should be noted that after the second terminal finishes collecting the process information of the running process at the specified time before the current time, whether the second terminal logs in the cloud server or not can be determined, and when it is determined that the second terminal logs in the cloud server, the process information is sent to the cloud server.

In step 302, the first terminal sends a process information acquisition request to the cloud server, where the process information acquisition request carries a terminal identifier of a second terminal associated with the first terminal.

When a parent wants to view and control the process information of the running process of the second terminal of the child, a process information acquisition request can be sent to the cloud server through the first terminal, and the process information acquisition request can carry the terminal identification of the second terminal related to the first terminal.

In a possible embodiment, the process information acquisition request sent by the first terminal to the cloud server is used to acquire the process information of the currently running process of the second terminal, and therefore, in this case, the process information acquisition request may further include instruction information for acquiring the currently running process of the second terminal.

In another possible embodiment, the process information obtaining request sent by the first terminal to the cloud server may also be used to obtain process information of a process executed at a specified time before the current time of the second terminal, and therefore, in this case, the process information obtaining request may include instruction information for obtaining the process executed at the first specified time by the second terminal. For example, when the current time is 10:00, the process information acquisition request sent by the first terminal to the cloud server is used for acquiring the process information of the process run by the second terminal 9: 00.

It should be noted that, the first terminal may determine whether the first terminal logs in the cloud server, and when it is determined that the first terminal logs in the cloud server, send the process information acquisition request to the cloud server.

In addition, before the first terminal sends the process information acquisition request to the cloud server, the first terminal can be associated with the first terminal through the cloud server and a password for the second terminal to log out of the cloud server can be set. Optionally, the first terminal may send an association request to the cloud server, where the association request carries a second identifier of the second terminal, a logout password, and a first identifier corresponding to the first terminal, and when receiving a process information acquisition request sent by the first terminal, the cloud server may analyze the process information acquisition request to obtain the second identifier of the second terminal, the logout password, and the first identifier corresponding to the first terminal, then associate the first terminal with the second terminal, and set the logout password as a password when the second terminal logs out of the login cloud server.

It should be noted that, in order to ensure that the parent can check and control the process of the second terminal running at any time through the first terminal, the parent can set a password for the second terminal to log out of the cloud server through the first terminal, and when sending a process information acquisition request to the cloud server, carry the password in the request. Therefore, only when the child knows the password, the second terminal can be controlled to quit the login cloud server through the password, otherwise, the second terminal is always in the state of logging in the cloud server, and the parent can check and control the process of running of the second terminal at any time through the first terminal.

In another possible embodiment, in order to ensure that a household can check and control the running process of the second terminal at any time through the first terminal, in addition to setting a password for the second terminal to log out of the login cloud server, a use password may be set for an APP (Application, Application program) corresponding to the cloud server, and the APPs are installed in the first terminal and the second terminal. Optionally, the first terminal sends, to the cloud server, the association request that may carry the second identifier, the usage password, and the first identifier corresponding to the first terminal of the second terminal, and therefore, when associating the first terminal with the second terminal, the cloud server may set the usage password as the usage password of the APP installed on the second terminal. Because first terminal passes through the cloud ware when being associated with the second terminal, first terminal and second terminal all are in the state of logging in the cloud ware, consequently, after this APP backstage operation at second terminal, when child uses this APP again, then need control this APP through using the password, under the condition that child does not know this use password, this APP will be in the open mode always, also be in the state of logging in the cloud ware always for the second terminal that also, the head of a family also just can look over and control the process that the second terminal moved at any time through first terminal.

In step 303, the first terminal receives process information of the currently running process of the second terminal, which is returned by the cloud server, and generates a control instruction for a target process in the currently running process according to the process information.

When the first terminal generates a control instruction for a target process in the currently running process according to the process information, the first terminal may select the target process from the currently running process according to the process information, display a control interface corresponding to the target process, where the control interface includes at least one operation button, and then generate the control instruction corresponding to the selected operation button.

It should be noted that the second terminal may currently run a plurality of different processes, and control interfaces corresponding to different processes may be different, so that after the captain selects a target process from the currently running processes according to the process information, the control interface corresponding to the target process may be displayed, where the control interface includes at least one operation button. The at least one operation button may include an exit button, a disable button, and a permission setting button. Of course, the control interface may further include other information, for example, the location information of the second terminal when the second terminal runs the target process, the power information of the second terminal when the second terminal runs the target process, and the like.

Further, the first terminal may generate different control instructions according to different operation buttons in the control interface corresponding to the displayed target process. When the selected operation button is an exit button, generating an exit instruction for exiting the target process; when the selected operation button is a forbidden button, generating a forbidden instruction for forbidding the running of the target process; and when the selected operation button is the authority setting button, acquiring the use authority of the target process, wherein the use authority comprises a use time period and/or a use duration, and generating an authority setting instruction containing the use authority.

It should be noted that, when the selected operation button is the authority setting button, the acquiring of the usage authority of the target process may be: when the selected operation button is the authority setting button, the first terminal displays a control interface corresponding to the authority setting button, the control interface comprises a use time period button and/or a use duration button, and then the use authority of the selected use time period button or a target process corresponding to the use duration button is obtained.

When the parent selects the use time period button in the control interface corresponding to the displayed permission setting button, a specific use time period may be set for the target process, for example, the use time period of the game application is set to 10: 00-10:15. When the parent selects the duration of use button, a specific duration of use may be set for the target process, for example, setting the duration of use of the game application to 15 min.

In addition, the control instruction may further include a second designated time, where the second designated time is used to control the second terminal to execute the control operation corresponding to the control instruction at the second designated time. The second designated time may be the current time, a time before the current time, or a time after the current time.

In step 304, the first terminal sends a control instruction to the cloud server, so that the cloud server forwards the control instruction to the second terminal.

The first terminal may send the control command to the cloud server after generating the control command, and the cloud server may forward the control command to the second terminal when receiving the control command,

in step 305, the second terminal receives a control instruction, returned by the cloud server, of the first terminal to the target process in the currently running process, and executes a control operation corresponding to the control instruction.

Because the control instruction generated by the first terminal comprises the exit instruction, the disable instruction and the authority setting instruction, when the second terminal receives the control instruction, the second terminal can be controlled to execute the operation corresponding to the control instruction. When the control instruction is an exit instruction, exiting the target process; when the control instruction is a disable instruction, setting the attribute of the target process to be disabled; and when the control instruction is an authority setting instruction, setting the use authority of the target process as the use authority contained in the authority setting instruction, wherein the use authority comprises a use time period and/or a use duration.

It should be noted that, after the second terminal sets the usage right of the target process as the usage right included in the right setting instruction, since the usage right includes a usage time period and/or a usage duration, the second terminal may also detect whether the current time is within the usage time period, and quit the target process when the current time is not within the usage time period; and/or detecting whether the running time of the target application reaches the use time, and exiting the target process when the running time reaches the use time. That is, the child can only control the target process to run during the usage period and/or usage duration included in the permission setting instruction.
