Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.
As shown in fig. 1, a schematic structural diagram of an electronic device provided for a first possible implementation manner of an embodiment of the present application is provided, where the electronic device may be a device with a certain function, such as a notebook or an all-in-one machine AIO, and the electronic device in the embodiment can share components for other devices.
Specifically, the electronic device in this embodiment may include the following structure:
at least one functional component 101.
The functional components can respond to control instructions sent by the electronic equipment to realize corresponding target functions. For example, functional component 101 may be: the sound output component is one or more of a speaker, a picture output component such as a display, a transmission component such as a wifi module, a storage component such as a hard disk, and the like, and each component can realize corresponding specific functions, for example, functions of sound output, picture output, data transmission, data storage, and the like.
In addition, the electronic device may further include:
and a controller 102, wherein the controller 102 corresponds to the functional component 101 and is connected with the functional component 101.
On the controller 102 side, if the controller 102 obtains a control instruction sent to another device, the controller 102 can control the functional component 101 to respond to the control instruction of the other device to implement a target function for the other device.
As shown in fig. 2, in this embodiment, the other device may send a control instruction to the electronic device, where the control instruction indicates that the other device needs to use the functional component 101 in the electronic device, such as a speaker, a microphone, or a display, and after the controller 102 on the side of the electronic device receives the control instruction sent by the other device, the controller 102 may control the functional component 101 to respond to the control instruction, so that the other device may also provide corresponding functions such as sound output, sound collection, or picture display.
It should be noted that, besides being connected to the functional component 101 through the controller so that the functional component 101 responds to the control instruction of the other device, the other device may also be connected to the electronic device or more devices through other interfaces, such as a serial parallel interface, a wifi module, or a bluetooth interface.
As can be seen from the foregoing solution, in an electronic device provided in a first possible implementation manner of the embodiment of the present application, a functional component capable of responding to a control instruction of the electronic device is provided, so as to implement a corresponding target function, and if a controller corresponding to the functional component in the electronic device obtains the control instruction sent to another device, the controller can also control the functional component to respond to the control instruction of the other device, so as to implement the corresponding target function. It can be seen that, in this embodiment, the functional component in the electronic device may not only respond to the control instruction of the electronic device to implement a corresponding function, but also respond to the control instruction of another device under the control of the controller, so as to implement a corresponding function for the other device, thereby implementing the sharing of the functional component between the electronic device and the other device.
In one implementation, the controller 102 in the electronic device may be a central processor in the electronic device, which is capable of controlling the main functions in the electronic device. Specifically, the electronic device is currently in a first state, and the electronic device further has a second state, where power consumption of the electronic device in the first state is lower than power consumption of the electronic device in the second state, for example, the first state is an intelligent standby state of the electronic device, and the second state is a normal power-on working state of the electronic device, and so on.
Wherein in the first state, part of the functional units in the controller 102 are in the disabled state, and if the electronic device enters the second state from the first state, part of the functional units in the disabled state in the controller 102 enter the enabled state, as shown in fig. 3.
It should be noted that in this embodiment, in the first state of the electronic device, although some functional units in the controller 102 are in the disabled state, after obtaining the control instruction sent by the other device, the control functional unit 101 can respond to the control instruction sent by the other device by another remaining functional unit in the controller 102 that is in the enabled state, and further, in the case that the electronic device is in the first state, the functional unit 101 can still respond to the control instruction of the other device and provide the other device with the implementation of the target function.
For example, the AIO device has a controller (e.g. a controller, i.e. a central processing unit in the AIO) and a speaker, and a speaker in the AIO device needs to be borrowed, and at this time, if the AIO device is in an intelligent standby state, a part of functional units in an enabled state in the controller in the AIO device can control the speaker to respond to a speaker borrowing instruction sent by the home theater device after receiving the speaker borrowing instruction, so that the speaker outputs a sound signal transmitted by the home theater device, thereby realizing sound output for the home theater device, and in the home theater device, a highly configured speaker in the AIO device is combined to provide a more perfect audiovisual experience for a user.
In another implementation manner, the electronic device may further include a processor 103 in addition to the controller 102 and the functional component 101, as shown in fig. 4, at this time, the controller 102 in the electronic device is a component different from the processor 103 in the electronic device, for example, a control component corresponding to the functional component 101, for example, a small chip arranged on each type of functional component, where the processor 103 is a component capable of implementing main function control in the electronic device. Specifically, the electronic device is currently in a first state, and the electronic device further has a second state, where power consumption of the electronic device in the first state is lower than power consumption of the electronic device in the second state, for example, the first state may be an intelligent standby state of the electronic device, and the second state may be a normal power-on working state of the electronic device, and so on.
In this embodiment, when the electronic device is currently in the first state, at least a part of the functional units in the processor 103 are in the disabled state, which may be the following cases:
only some of the functional units in the processor 103 are disabled, or all of the functional units in the processor 103 are disabled.
If the electronic device enters the second state from the first state, at least a part of the functional units in the processor 103 in the disabled state enter the enabled state.
It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, the electronic device is currently in the first state, and at least some functional units in the processor 103 are in the disabled state, at this time, the functional component 101 can respond to the control of the controller 102, that is: the control instructions sent by other devices are obtained by the controller 102 in the electronic device, so that the functional component 101 can respond to the control instructions sent by these other devices under the control of the controller 102, thereby implementing the corresponding target functions.
Of course, if the electronic device enters the second state from the current first state, then at least some of the functional units in the processor 103 enter the enabled state, at which time the functional unit 101 can respond to not only the control of the controller 102 but also the control of the processor 103, that is: when the controller 102 obtains a control instruction sent by another device (or obtains external trigger information), the functional component 101 can be controlled to respond to the control instruction sent by the other device to implement a corresponding target function for the other device, and at this time, the functional component 101 can also respond to the control instruction sent by the processor 103, where the control instruction may be a control instruction generated by the electronic device or a control instruction sent by the other device and forwarded by the processor, so as to implement a corresponding target function for the electronic device or the other device.
For example, the AIO device has a processor, a speaker and a controller corresponding to the speaker, the speaker in the AIO device needs to be borrowed from a home theater device, at this time, if the AIO device is in an intelligent standby state, at least a part of functional units of the processor in the AIO device are in a disabled state, at this time, the speaker in the AIO device can realize a sound output function under the control of its controller, that is: when the AIO equipment is in an intelligent standby state, a controller corresponding to a loudspeaker in the AIO can receive a loudspeaker borrowing instruction sent by the home theater equipment, and after the loudspeaker borrowing instruction sent by the home theater equipment is received, the loudspeaker is controlled to respond to the loudspeaker borrowing instruction, so that the loudspeaker outputs a sound signal transmitted by the home theater equipment, and sound output is realized for the home theater equipment, therefore, even if the AIO is in the intelligent standby state, the home theater equipment can also combine a loudspeaker which is highly arranged in the AIO equipment, and more perfect audio-visual feeling is provided for a user;
if the AIO device is in a normal power-on operation state, the at least part of functional units of the processor in the AIO device enters an enabled state, and then the speaker in the AIO device can respond to not only the control of the controller corresponding to the speaker but also the control of the processor, for example, when the AIO device is in a normal power-on operation state, a speaker borrowing instruction sent by the home theater device can be received by the controller corresponding to the speaker and also can be received by the processor, wherein the controller controls the speaker to respond to the speaker borrowing instruction after receiving the speaker borrowing instruction sent by the home theater device, and the processor in the AIO device controls the speaker to respond to the speaker borrowing instruction after receiving the speaker borrowing instruction, and of course, the processor in the AIO device can also generate a use instruction that needs to use the speaker, at this time, the speakers respond to the instructions for using the speakers of the processor, so that the speakers in the AIO device can output not only the sound signals transmitted by the processor but also the sound signals transmitted by the home theater device, thereby realizing sound output for the AIO device or the home theater device and realizing speaker sharing.
Based on the above implementation, the controller 102 may include the following structure, as shown in fig. 5:
a first connector 121 for connecting the functional unit 101 and the processor 103;
a second connector 122 for connecting the functional part 101 with other devices;
the controller 102 opens the first connector and opens the second connector to enable the functional component 101 to respond to the control instruction of the other device.
It can be seen that, in the embodiment, the controller 102 may implement response control on the functional component 101 through two connectors in fig. 5, when the electronic device is in the first state, at least a part of functional units in the processor 103 is in a disabled state, and the controller 102 disconnects the first connector 121 and turns on the second connector 122, so that the functional component 101 is in a connected state with other devices, so that the functional component 101 can respond to a control instruction sent by the other devices and implement a corresponding target function; if the electronic device is in the second state, the controller 102 may determine whether to turn on the first connector 121 or turn on the second connector 122 according to actual conditions, so that the functional component 101 can respond to the control instruction transmitted by the processor 103, such as a control instruction of the electronic device or a control instruction of another device, and can also respond to the control instruction transmitted by the controller 102, such as a control instruction of another device.
Based on the above implementation, the controller 102 may also be implemented by a switching device, as shown in fig. 6:
the switching device includes: a first contact end 123, a second contact end 124 and a third contact end 125, wherein the first contact end 123 is connected to the functional component 101, the second contact end 124 is connected to the processor 103, and the third contact end 125 is connected to other devices;
the controller 102 disconnects the first contact terminal 123 from the second contact terminal 124, and connects the first contact terminal 123 to the third contact terminal 125, so that the functional component 101 can respond to the control command of the other device.
It can be seen that, in this embodiment, the controller 102 may implement response control on the functional component 101 through three contact terminals in fig. 6, when the electronic device is in the first state, at least a part of the functional units in the processor 103 is in a disabled state, and the controller 102 disconnects the connection between the first contact terminal 123 and the second contact terminal 124, and conducts the connection between the first contact terminal 123 and the third contact terminal 125, so that the functional component 101 can respond to a control instruction sent by another device and implement a corresponding target function; if the electronic device is in the second state, the controller 102 may determine whether to conduct the connection between the first contact terminal 123 and the second contact terminal 124 or the connection between the first contact terminal 123 and the third contact terminal 125 according to actual conditions, so that the functional component 101 can respond to the control instruction transmitted by the processor 103, such as the control instruction of the electronic device or the control instruction of another device, and can also respond to the control instruction transmitted by the controller 102, such as the control instruction of another device.
In addition, in the above various implementations, a power supply may be provided in the electronic device to supply power to the controller 101, so as to maintain the normal operation of the controller 101.
Referring to fig. 7, an implementation flowchart of a control method provided for a second possible implementation manner of the embodiment of the present application is provided, where the control method in this embodiment is applied to a controller of an electronic device, the electronic device includes not only the controller but also functional components, and a specific structural implementation of the electronic device may refer to relevant contents in the foregoing.
Specifically, the control method in this embodiment may include the following steps:
step 701: the controller obtains the control instruction sent by other equipment.
The control instruction of the other device is an instruction generated by the other device when the functional component in the electronic device needs to be used, and the control instruction at least includes relevant parameters, such as a name or an attribute, of the functional component that needs to be used. In this embodiment, the controller may obtain the control instruction sent by the other device through a connection line established between the controller and the other device, for example, a wireless connection line such as wifi or bluetooth, or a wired connection line such as serial or parallel connection.
It should be noted that the functional components in the electronic device can respond to the control command of the electronic device and implement the corresponding target functions, for example, a microphone in the AIO device collects peripheral sound signals under the command of the AIO.
Step 702: the controller controls functional components in the electronic device to respond to control instructions of other devices to achieve the target function.
The other devices herein are devices different from the current electronic device, such as a conference device, an audio-visual device, or other notebook or AIO, and in this embodiment, the other devices may send a control instruction to the electronic device, where the control instruction indicates that the other devices need to use a functional component in the electronic device, such as a speaker, a microphone, or a display, and after the controller on the electronic device side receives the control instruction sent by the other devices, the controller can control the functional component to respond to the control instruction, so as to provide corresponding functions, such as sound output, sound collection, or picture display, for the other devices as well.
It should be noted that other devices may also be connected to the electronic device or more devices through other interfaces, such as a serial parallel interface, a wifi module, or a bluetooth interface.
As can be seen from the foregoing solution, in a control method provided in a second possible implementation manner of the embodiment of the present application, in a functional component capable of responding to a control instruction of an electronic device, if a controller corresponding to the functional component in the electronic device obtains the control instruction sent to another device, the controller can also control the functional component to respond to the control instruction of the other device, and implement a corresponding target function in the same manner. It can be seen that, in this embodiment, the functional component in the electronic device may not only respond to the control instruction of the electronic device to implement a corresponding function, but also respond to the control instruction of another device under the control of the controller to implement a corresponding function for the other device, thereby implementing the sharing of the functional component between the electronic device and the other device.
In one implementation, the controller in the electronic device may be a central processing unit in the electronic device, and may be capable of implementing main function control in the electronic device. Specifically, the electronic device is currently in a first state, and in addition, the electronic device further has a second state, and power consumption of the electronic device in the first state is lower than power consumption of the electronic device in the second state, for example, the first state is an intelligent standby state of the electronic device, and the second state is a normal power-on working state of the electronic device, and so on.
And if the electronic equipment enters the second state from the first state, the part of the functional units in the disabled state in the controller enters an enabled state.
It should be noted that in this embodiment, in the first state of the electronic device, although some functional units in the controller are in the disabled state, after obtaining the control instruction sent by the other device, the control functional component can respond to the control instruction sent by the other device by the other remaining functional units in the controller that are in the enabled state, and further, in the case that the electronic device is in the first state, the functional component can still respond to the control instruction of the other device and provide the other device with the implementation of the target function.
In another implementation manner, the electronic device may further include a processor in addition to the controller and the functional component, at this time, the controller in the electronic device is a component different from the processor in the electronic device, for example, a control component corresponding to the functional component, such as a control chiplet arranged on each type of functional component, and the like, where the processor is a component capable of implementing main function control in the electronic device. Specifically, the electronic device is currently in a first state, and in addition, the electronic device further has a second state, and power consumption of the electronic device in the first state is lower than power consumption of the electronic device in the second state, for example, the first state may be an intelligent standby state of the electronic device, and the second state may be a normal power-on working state of the electronic device, and so on.
In this embodiment, when the electronic device is currently in the first state, at least a part of the functional units in the processor are in the disabled state, such as: only some of the functional units in the processor are disabled, or all of the functional units in the processor are disabled.
If the electronic equipment enters the second state from the first state, at least part of the functional units in the disabled state in the processor enter the enabled state.
It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, the electronic device is currently in the first state, and at least a part of the functional units in the processor are in the disabled state, at this time, the functional components can respond to the control of the controller, that is: the electronic equipment obtains the control instructions sent by other equipment through the controller, so that the functional components can respond to the control instructions sent by the other equipment under the control of the controller, and accordingly the corresponding target functions are achieved.
Currently, if the electronic device enters the second state from the current first state, at least a part of the functional units in the processor are in an enabled state, and at this time, the functional units can respond to not only the control of the controller but also the control of the processor, that is: when the controller obtains a control instruction sent by another device (or obtains external trigger information), the controller can control the functional component to respond to the control instruction sent by the other device so as to implement a corresponding target function for the other device, at this time, the functional component can also respond to the control instruction sent by the processor, and the control instruction here may be a control instruction generated by the electronic device, or a control instruction sent by the other device and forwarded by the processor, so as to implement a corresponding target function for the electronic device or the other device.
In a specific implementation, the controller may be implemented by the structure in fig. 5 or fig. 6, and accordingly, when the controller responds to a control instruction of another device, the controller may specifically be:
the controller can disconnect the functional component from the processor and control the connection between the functional component and other devices by controlling the functional component to respond to control instructions of other devices.
For example, when the electronic device is in the first state, the controller disconnects the functional component from the processor and connects the functional component with other devices, so that the functional component can respond to control instructions sent by other devices and realize corresponding target functions; if the electronic equipment is in the second state, the controller can determine whether to conduct the connection between the functional component and the processor or the connection between the functional component and other equipment according to actual conditions, so that the functional component can respond to the control instruction transmitted by the processor and the control instruction transmitted by the controller.
The control instruction may be generated based on a hardware connection between the other device and the electronic device, for example, when a connection interface of the other device, such as the conference system device, is connected to an interface on the electronic device body, a control instruction is generated, where the control instruction indicates that the conference system device needs to borrow a display, a microphone, a speaker, and other components from the electronic device, and accordingly, after receiving the control instruction, the controller in the electronic device controls the corresponding functional component to respond to the control instruction to implement the corresponding function;
or, the control instruction may be generated based on an input operation received by another device, for example, after the connection interface of the conference system device is connected to the interface on the electronic device body, the user logs in the conference system device through a mobile phone, and operates the conference interface on the mobile phone, and selects a display, a microphone, and a speaker of the borrowed electronic device, at this time, a control instruction is generated, the control instruction indicates that the conference system device needs to borrow components such as the display, the microphone, and the speaker from the electronic device, and accordingly, after receiving the control instruction, the controller in the electronic device controls a corresponding functional component to respond to the control instruction, so as to implement a corresponding function.
Based on the above implementation, if the electronic device is in the second state, such as in a normal power-on operating state, the functional component can respond to the control of the controller and also can respond to the control of the processor, at this time, if the controller receives a control instruction of another device, it is necessary to determine by whom the functional component is controlled, and therefore, before the controller controls the functional component to respond to the control instruction of the other device in step 702, the method in this embodiment may further include the following steps, as shown in fig. 8:
step 703: judging the priority between the other equipment and the electronic equipment, if the priority of the other equipment is higher than that of the electronic equipment, executing step 704, otherwise, executing step 705.
The priority levels of the other devices and the electronic devices may be preset, or may be determined according to the attributes of the functional components used by the other devices and the electronic devices. The priority of other devices and electronic devices may be the same or different for different features. For example, for a display, the priority of the electronic device is higher than the priority of the other devices, for a microphone, the priority of the electronic device is lower than the priority of the other devices, and so on.
Step 704: the controller controls the functional block to connect to other devices and performs step 702.
That is, when the controller obtains the control instruction of the other device, it finds that the functional component is in a state of being connected to the processor, and the processor occupies the functional component, and when the controller determines that the priority of the other device is higher than the priority of the electronic device, the controller forces the functional component to be connected to the other device, forces the functional component to be disconnected from the processor, and executes step 702, and at this time, the functional component responds to the control instruction of the other device, so as to preferentially provide the corresponding target function for the other device.
Step 705: the controller continues to wait until the feature is disconnected from the processor, executing step 702.
That is, when the controller obtains the control instruction of the other device, it finds that the functional component is in a state of being connected to the processor, and the processor is occupying the functional component, and when the controller determines that the priority of the other device is lower than the priority of the electronic device, the controller does not force the functional component to be connected to the other device, but continuously waits, and after the functional component responds to the control end of the processor and disconnects the connection, the controller controls the functional component to be connected to the other device, and executes step 802, and at this time, the functional component responds to the control instruction of the other device, so as to preferentially provide the corresponding target function for the other device.
For example, the AIO device has a processor, a speaker and a controller corresponding to the speaker, the speaker in the AIO device needs to be borrowed from a home theater device, at this time, if the AIO device is in an intelligent standby state, at least a part of functional units of the processor in the AIO device are in a disabled state, at this time, the speaker in the AIO device can realize a sound output function under the control of its controller, that is: when the AIO equipment is in an intelligent standby state, a controller corresponding to a loudspeaker in the AIO can receive a loudspeaker borrowing instruction sent by the home theater equipment, and after the loudspeaker borrowing instruction sent by the home theater equipment is received, the loudspeaker is controlled to respond to the loudspeaker borrowing instruction, so that the loudspeaker outputs a sound signal transmitted by the home theater equipment, and sound output is realized for the home theater equipment, therefore, even if the AIO is in the intelligent standby state, the home theater equipment can also combine a loudspeaker which is highly arranged in the AIO equipment, and more perfect audio-visual feeling is provided for a user;
and if the AIO device is in a normal power-on working state, the at least part of functional units of the processor in the AIO device enters an enabling state, and then the speaker in the AIO device can respond to not only the control of the controller corresponding to the speaker but also the control of the processor, for example, when the AIO device is in the normal power-on working state, the speaker borrowing instruction sent by the home theater device can be received by the controller corresponding to the speaker and also can be received by the processor, wherein after receiving the speaker borrowing instruction sent by the home theater device, the controller firstly judges the priority between the home theater device and the AIO device according to the speaker to judge, if the priority of the home theater device is higher than that of the AIO device, then the speaker is controlled to be connected with the home theater device, and the connection between the AIO device processor and the speaker is cut off, causing the speakers to respond to the speaker borrowing instructions for the home theater device, and if the priority of the home theater device is lower than the priority of the AIO device, the controller continues to wait until the connection between the speakers and the AIO device processor is broken, the controller controls the loudspeaker to be connected with the home theater equipment, so that the loudspeaker responds to the loudspeaker borrowing instruction of the home theater equipment, thus, the speaker in the AIO device can output not only the sound signal transmitted by the processor, but also the sound signal transmitted by the home theater device, thereby realizing sound output for the AIO device or the home theater device, realizing speaker sharing, and when the speaker is shared to the home theater device, the high-configuration loudspeaker in the AIO equipment can be combined in the home theater equipment, so that more perfect audio-visual feeling is provided for users.
The following describes the above embodiment by taking an example in which a microphone and a speaker are shared in an AIO apparatus, namely, a pc (personal computer), to a conference system:
as shown in fig. 9, the conference system includes a conference controller, and a wired interface and a wireless interface connected thereto, such as USB and bluetooth interfaces, and a power supply for supplying power to the conference controller;
a switch device is connected between a microphone and a loudspeaker in the PC and a processor of the PC, and the switch device can be connected with the conference controller, so that the switch device can connect the conference controller with the microphone or the loudspeaker through a switching line, and the microphone and the loudspeaker can respond to a control instruction of the conference controller to realize a synchronous conference when the PC is in a standby state;
or the switch device can connect the PC processor with the microphone or the loudspeaker through a switching line, so that the microphone and the loudspeaker can respond to the control instruction of the PC processor to realize the output and collection of the sound.
It can be seen that, in this embodiment, the microphone design (high-configuration parameters, such as a business conference function) of the AIO itself is used to provide a sound collection function for the conference system device, and the microphone cost does not need to be increased.
The relative sound output characteristics of the speaker of the AIO itself are also good, as would be the case with a 2.1 channel, even with a speaker, as shown in the block diagram of figure 9, where the speaker of the PC and the conference system are connected to the speaker via a switch arrangement.
And at the moment, the conference controller can be connected to a USB interface of the PC, so that corresponding data transmission can be realized, and the conference controller can be realized by matching with a loudspeaker and a microphone.
Meanwhile, the conference controller supports connection of Bluetooth and supports a user to connect the controller to an AIO or an external handheld device such as a mobile phone.
When the AIO is in the intelligent standby state, the mobile phone of the user can be connected to the operation interface of the conference system through the bluetooth, and can operate the microphone and the control corresponding to the speaker on the interface of the conference system and operate the hardware control on the PC, so as to realize the relevant operations of the components such as the speaker and the microphone, for example, volume adjustment, on-off control, dialing or turning off of the telephone and the like of the speaker.
