Detailed ways

Reference will now be made in detail to the embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference numerals refer to like parts throughout. The embodiments will be described below in order to explain the present invention by referring to the figures.

FIG. 1 shows a flowchart of a method for distributing unfinished tasks of an electronic terminal according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. The method can be implemented by a computer program. As an example, the method can be executed by the electronic terminal itself or a central control device. For example, the method may be executed by an application installed in the electronic terminal or central control device, or executed by a functional program implemented in an operating system of the electronic terminal or central control device. As an example, the electronic terminal may be an electronic terminal such as a mobile communication terminal (eg, a smart phone), a smart wearable device (eg, a smart watch). As an example, the central control device may be a routing center (eg, a WiFi routing center) of a local area network to which the electronic terminal is connected.

In one embodiment, the method may be performed when the electronic terminal accesses a specific local area network. For example, when the user returns home and the user's electronic terminal accesses the local area network in the home, the method can be executed.

In another embodiment, the method may be executed when the electronic terminal receives a trigger operation from the user, where the trigger operation is an operation for triggering the use of another electronic terminal to continue executing the unfinished task of the electronic terminal. For example, the triggering operation may be a selection operation of the "unfinished task distribution" control displayed on the electronic terminal.

Referring to FIG. 1 , in step S10, according to the task type of the current unfinished task of at least one application of the electronic terminal, at least one target electronic terminal for continuing to execute the unfinished task is selected.

As an example, an unfinished task may refer to a task that is only partially completed, ie, a task to be continued to be completed.

As an example, the at least one application may include: a pre-specified application, a recently-running application (ie, an application that was recently run in the foreground and/or background), an application that was being used when a user's trigger operation was received (eg, a receiving The application being played or displayed when the user triggers the operation), the application being used when accessing to a specific local area network (for example, the application being played or displayed when accessing a specific local area network). Here, the triggering operation is an operation for triggering the use of another electronic terminal to continue executing the unfinished task of the electronic terminal.

As an example, the task type may include at least one of the following items: real-time live video task, real-time live audio task, non-live video playback task, non-live audio playback task, text browsing task (ie, text output task), Image browsing tasks (ie, image output tasks). It should be understood that task types may also include other types of tasks, or be divided according to other rules, which are not limited in the present invention. For example, text browsing tasks may be further refined into e-book browsing tasks, news browsing tasks, and the like. It should be understood that the task type of the unfinished task may be determined in various appropriate ways, for example, the task type of the unfinished task may be determined according to the type of the application to which the unfinished task belongs and/or the running data of the unfinished task.

In one embodiment, when the unfinished tasks include multiple unfinished tasks, one or more target electronic terminals for continuing to execute the multiple unfinished tasks may be selected according to the task type of each unfinished task. Specifically, when the unfinished task includes multiple unfinished tasks, one or more target electronic terminals for continuing to execute the unfinished task may be selected for each unfinished task according to the task type of the unfinished task, and for different unfinished tasks The target electronic terminals selected by the task may be identical, completely different, or partially the same.

In another embodiment, when the unfinished tasks include splittable tasks, a target electronic terminal for executing each subtask may be selected according to the task type of the split subtasks, that is, the target electronic terminal for performing each subtask may be selected for mutual cooperation. Multiple target electronic terminals that continue to perform unfinished splittable tasks.

Here, a splittable task indicates that the task can be split into a plurality of different subtasks, and the effect of executing the task can be achieved by executing the plurality of different subtasks at the same time. As an example, the subtasks into which the splittable task is divided may include: a subtask for outputting images or text, and a subtask for outputting audio. For example, when the splittable task is a reading task with audio accompaniment, the split subtasks can be a text browsing task and an audio playback task; when the splittable task is an MV video playback task, the split subtasks can be Can be used for image browsing tasks and audio playback tasks.

In another embodiment, when the unfinished task includes a convertible task, a target electronic terminal for executing the converted task may be selected according to the task type of the converted task.

Here, a convertible task indicates that the task can be converted into another task, and the task and the another task are executed in a different way of outputting content to the user. As an example, when the convertible task is a text browsing task (eg, a news browsing task), the converted task may be an audio playing task.

As an example, regarding which types of tasks are specifically convertible tasks or splittable tasks, and the tasks that each convertible task can be converted into, the subtasks into which the splittable tasks can be split can be pre-defined it is good.

As an example, for each unfinished task in the unfinished tasks, according to the mark information of the unfinished task, query the electronic terminal that can support the execution of the unfinished task or the electronic terminal that the user is accustomed to use for the unfinished task, and obtain the information from the query. Select the target electronic terminal for continuing to perform the unfinished task from the electronic terminals of the The unfinished task is the identification information of the convertible task and the task type of the unfinished task.

As an example, a list of electronic terminals currently in the same local area network as the electronic terminal or a preset list can be queried for electronic terminals that can support the execution of the unfinished task or electronic terminals that the user is accustomed to use for the unfinished task. As an example, the electronic terminal capable of supporting the execution of the unfinished task may be determined according to whether the electronic terminal has an application for executing the unfinished task.

As an example, when the unfinished task is a splittable task, the task type of the split subtask may be determined according to the identification information indicating that the unfinished task is a splittable task and the task type of the unfinished task, and then for each subtask The task type of the task, query the electronic terminal that can support the execution of the sub-task or the electronic terminal that the user is accustomed to use for the sub-task, and select the target electronic terminal for executing the sub-task from the queried electronic terminals. In other words, the target electronic terminal selected for executing the subtasks of the splittable task is the target electronic terminal for continuing to execute the splittable task. For example, when the convertible task is a text browsing task (for example, a news browsing task), the converted task may be an audio playback task, and the target electronic terminal selected for the audio playback task may be an audio device or a household device capable of voice broadcasting. electrical appliances.

As an example, when the unfinished task is a convertible task, the task type of the converted task can be determined according to the identification information indicating that the unfinished task is a convertible task and the task type of the unfinished task, and then the task type that can support the execution of the converted task can be queried. The electronic terminal of the task or the electronic terminal that the user is accustomed to use for the converted task, and the target electronic terminal for executing the converted task is selected from the queried electronic terminals. In other words, the selected target electronic terminal for executing the task converted from the convertible task is the target electronic terminal for continuing to execute the convertible task. For example, when the splittable task is a reading task with audio accompaniment, the split subtasks can be a text browsing task and an audio playing task, and the target electronic terminal selected for the text browsing task can be an electronic reader, and the audio The target electronic terminal selected for the playback task can be an audio device; when the splittable task is an MV video playback task, the split subtasks can be an image browsing task and an audio playback task, and the target electronic terminal selected for the image browsing task. The terminal may be a home appliance with a display screen, and the target electronic terminal selected for the audio playback task may be an audio device or a home appliance capable of voice broadcasting.

As an example, the marking information of each unfinished task can be obtained by querying the electronic terminal for the unfinished task. In addition, the marking information of each unfinished task can also be determined by the device performing the method according to the recording information for recording the unfinished task.

As an example, the step of selecting a target electronic terminal for continuing to execute the unfinished task from the queried electronic terminals may include: selecting from the queried electronic terminals for continuing execution according to at least one of the following items The target electronic terminal of the unfinished task: the priority of the queried electronic terminal regarding the execution of the unfinished task, the user's priority to use the queried electronic terminal, the current use status of the queried electronic terminal, the current status of the queried electronic terminal queuing of tasks to be executed, whether the queried electronic terminal allows task preemption, and the target electronic terminal that has been selected for other unfinished tasks.

As an example, in the step of selecting a target electronic terminal for continuing to execute the unfinished task from the queried electronic terminals according to the queried priority of the electronic terminal for executing the unfinished task, the priority of executing the unfinished task The higher-level electronic terminal is more likely to be selected as the target electronic terminal to continue executing the unfinished task. As an example, for each type of unfinished task, the priority of the electronic terminal with respect to executing the type of unfinished task may be manually set by the user (ie, set by the user according to preference), or according to the user's preference for using the electronic terminal for the type of task. The degree of habituation (ie, the degree of frequent use) is obtained. For example, for video playback tasks, users are more accustomed to using large-screen electronic terminals such as TVs and tablets; for news browsing tasks, users are more accustomed to using electronic terminals that are convenient for reading news in real time (for example, multimedia equipment in the kitchen, such as refrigerators) or capable of An electronic terminal (for example, a stereo) that broadcasts news by voice is convenient for users to know the news when they are doing housework.

As an example, in the step of selecting a target electronic terminal for continuing to execute the unfinished task from the queried electronic terminals according to the situation of the target electronic terminal that has been selected for other unfinished tasks, the unfinished task may include: When there are multiple unfinished tasks, the same electronic terminal that can support the execution of most unfinished tasks is selected as the target electronic terminal for continuing to execute the unfinished tasks. In other words, when the target electronic terminal is selected, multiple unfinished tasks can be concentrated on the same target electronic terminal and continue to be executed as much as possible.

As an example, according to the user's priority to use the queried electronic terminal, the queried electronic terminal's current usage status, the queried electronic terminal's current task queue status, and whether the queried electronic terminal allows task preemption, In the step of selecting the target electronic terminal for continuing to execute the unfinished task, if the electronic terminal for continuing to execute the unfinished task is preferentially selected (for example, the electronic terminal with the highest priority for executing the unfinished task is queried) ) has been occupied, and the user does not have a higher priority to use the selected electronic terminal, then ask the selected electronic terminal whether to allow the preemptive use of the task. If it is rejected, query how many tasks are waiting in the queue for the selected electronic terminal, and when it is determined that there are too many tasks waiting in the queue, select the electronic terminal with the next highest priority for continuing to execute the unfinished task (for example, The queried electronic terminal with the second highest priority for executing the unfinished task) repeats the above steps until it is finally determined that the conditions can be met (for example, it is not occupied, has priority use rights, has fewer tasks in queue, and allows tasks to be preempted). 1), if a target electronic terminal that satisfies the conditions is not found finally, the user may be asked to continue executing the unfinished task and/or wait in line by the electronic terminal. In addition, if the electronic terminal completes the unfinished task during the queuing period, the queuing is canceled.

In step S20, task indication information about the unfinished task is generated.

As an example, the task indication information about the unfinished task may be used to instruct the target electronic terminal how to continue to perform the unfinished task.

As an example, the task indication information about the unfinished task may include at least one of the following items: record information generated by the electronic terminal for recording the unfinished task; Record information for the task or the converted task.

As an example, the recording information for recording the unfinished task may include at least one of the following items: identification information of the content operated by the unfinished task, content operated by the unfinished task, progress information of the unfinished task (for example, currently playing to location or browsed location), the identification information of the application performing the outstanding task. For example, the identification information of the content operated by the unfinished task may include at least one of the following items: the name of the operated content, title content, and link address. For example, when the unfinished task is an e-book browsing task, the content operated by the unfinished task may include: the entire e-book.

As an example, the record information used to record the subtasks or the converted tasks for the unfinished task split may include at least one of the following items: identification information of an application for executing the unfinished task split subtasks , the identification information of the application of another task after the transformation of the unfinished task, the progress information corresponding to the other task obtained based on the progress information of the unfinished task, the output mode of the output content of the other task to the user, The other task requires content to be output to the user. As an example, when the unfinished task includes a convertible task, and the target electronic terminal selected for the convertible task does not have the information that needs to be output to the user to convert the content operated by the convertible task into a corresponding converted task When the function of the content is used, task indication information including corresponding content converted from the content operated by the convertible task may be generated. As an example, the content operated by the convertible task may be converted into corresponding content by the electronic terminal. As an example, when the target electronic terminal selected for the convertible task has the function of converting the content operated by the convertible task into the content that the corresponding converted task needs to output to the user, it is not necessary to send the conversion to the target electronic terminal. The corresponding content can be converted by the target electronic terminal itself. As an example, when the convertible task is a text browsing task (for example, a news browsing task), the converted task may be an audio playback task, and when the target electronic terminal selected for performing the converted audio playback task does not have the ability to convert text When the function of converting into speech is used, the task instruction information may include: an audio file converted into the content operated by the text browsing task.

As an example, in step S10, an electronic terminal with the function of converting the content operated by the convertible task into the content that the corresponding converted task needs to output to the user can be preferentially searched as the target electronic terminal, and when it cannot be found, search again If the target electronic terminal capable of executing the converted task cannot be found, an electronic terminal capable of executing the unfinished task itself can be searched as the target electronic terminal.

It should be understood that the present invention does not limit the execution sequence of step S10 and step S20, that is, step S10 may be executed before step S20, after step S20 or simultaneously with step S20.

In step S30, task indication information about the unfinished task is sent to the at least one target electronic terminal, so that the at least one target electronic terminal can continue to execute the unfinished task.

In one embodiment, the target electronic terminal may, in response to the user's operation of opening the target electronic terminal, ask the user whether to continue to execute the unfinished task according to the received task indication information about the unfinished task, and continue when a confirmation is received. When executing the user operation, continue to execute the unfinished task according to the task instruction information; or, in response to the user's operation of opening the target electronic terminal, the target electronic terminal may directly continue to execute the unfinished task according to the task instruction information without asking the user. Unfinished task. For example, the user can be asked in the form of a floating window. For example, this method can be used for unfinished tasks that are not live broadcast.

In another embodiment, the target electronic terminal may, in response to the user's operation of opening the application for executing the unfinished task of the target electronic terminal, ask the user whether to continue to execute the unfinished task according to the task indication information about the unfinished task task, and when receiving a user operation confirming the continued execution, continue to execute the unfinished task according to the task indication information; or, the target electronic terminal may respond to the user opening the unfinished task of the target electronic terminal for executing the unfinished task. The operation of the application is to continue executing the unfinished task directly according to the task instruction information without asking the user. For example, this method can be used for unfinished tasks that are not live broadcast.

In another embodiment, the target electronic terminal may automatically continue to execute the unfinished task when receiving task indication information about the unfinished task. For example, this method can be used for unfinished tasks that are broadcast live in real time. It should be understood that when the unfinished task of the real-time live broadcast is resumed, the execution can be continued from the position where it was stopped before, or the unexecuted part can be skipped and the execution can be continued directly from the current progress of the real-time live broadcast.

As an example, the step of the target electronic terminal continuing to execute the unfinished task according to the task indication information may include: searching for a corresponding application according to the identification information of the application executing the unfinished task, The identification information of the operated content searches for the corresponding content, and according to the progress information of the unfinished task, the content operated by the application for the unfinished task starts to be output to the user from the corresponding progress.

As an example, when the target electronic terminal does not have an application for performing the unfinished task installed, an installation file may be automatically downloaded or acquired from the electronic terminal and the application may be installed.

In addition, as an example, the method for distributing unfinished tasks of an electronic terminal according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention may further include: controlling different target electronic terminals for executing the split different subtasks to execute corresponding subtasks synchronously, so as to ensure that During the execution of the different subtasks, the execution progress of the different subtasks is the same. Further, as an example, when receiving a message that the different target electronic terminals for executing the split different sub-tasks feedback that the task is ready to execute the task, the corresponding In addition, the synchronization status (ie, whether the progress is consistent) of the different target electronic terminals can be queried at predetermined time intervals, and if they are inconsistent, the different target electronic terminals are controlled to be executed synchronously.

In addition, as an example, the method for distributing unfinished tasks of an electronic terminal according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention may further include: when receiving a message fed back by the target electronic terminal that an application capable of executing the unfinished task is not installed, executing the unfinished task The installation file of the application of the unfinished task is sent to the target electronic terminal.

In addition, as an example, the method for distributing unfinished tasks of an electronic terminal according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention may further include: when the task indication information about the unfinished task fails to be transmitted, or receives a message from the target electronic terminal that the task cannot be executed When the message of the unfinished task (for example, the installation of the application capable of executing the unfinished task fails), return to step S10, continue to search for other sub-optimal target electronic terminals and execute step S30.

In addition, as an example, the method for distributing unfinished tasks of an electronic terminal according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention may further include: when the target electronic terminal for executing the unfinished task cannot be found finally, prompting the user to distribute the unfinished task this time fail.
