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.

Embodiments of the present application provide a processing method and an input device, which are used to implement efficient and convenient inter-device data direct transmission between different electronic devices without using a network or a mobile storage medium (in the present application, data direct transmission refers to data transmission between a source device and a target device without using any intermediate device such as a network device or a mobile storage medium), and the following describes the processing method and the input device according to specific embodiments.

In an alternative embodiment, a processing method applicable to a first device is disclosed, where the first device may be, but is not limited to, an electronic device such as a notebook computer, a desktop computer, or a kiosk. The flow chart of the processing method applicable to the first device is shown in fig. 1, and may include the following processing steps:

step 101, responding to a target operation of an input device connected with the first device, and obtaining a transmission instruction of target data.

Alternatively, the input device may be a mouse of an electronic device such as a notebook computer, a desktop computer, or a kiosk, for example, a wireless mouse or a wired mouse.

The input device can establish communication connection with the first device based on a wired or wireless mode so as to realize information input or operation control of the first device. In the wireless connection mode, the input device is provided with a first connecting means and a second connecting means which can be paired with each other, wherein the second connecting means is attached to the first device by installing the first connecting means to the input device, so that a communication connection is established between the input device and the first device based on the connecting means which are respectively installed or attached to the input device and the first device. The first connection device and the second connection device may be, but are not limited to, bluetooth/Wi-Fi wireless transceivers respectively used for a control side (mouse side) and a controlled side (PC side), and in practical applications, optionally, the first connection device and the second connection device may be respectively implemented in a pluggable USB (Universal Serial Bus) product form, such as USB dongle, based on which the first connection device and the second connection device may be respectively disposed on electronic devices such as an input device or a first device in a plugging manner.

As an alternative embodiment, the target operation of the input device may be a key operation of a first key (a key or a combination of keys) of the input device by a user in a state where the target data is in a selected state in the first device, and the input device generates and transmits a first key signal for instructing cross-device data transmission of the target data to the first device based on the key operation.

The target data in the first device is in the selected state, and it is required to precondition that the target data in the first device is switched from the unselected state to the selected state, wherein the switching of the target data from the unselected state to the selected state may be operated by the input device or may be operated by an input device of the first device, and the input device of the first device may specifically include, but is not limited to, a notebook keyboard, a touch pad, a pointing stick, and the like.

In an implementation, a specific key for triggering the first device to perform data transmission may be additionally provided as the first key on an input device such as a mouse, for example, a key (mouse side key) may be provided on the left side or the right side of the mouse, so that when the target data in the first device is in the selected state, the key may be operated (e.g., clicked, double-clicked, or long-pressed) to trigger the cross-device transmission of the indication signal, i.e., the first key signal, to the target data in the selected state.

Accordingly, in this embodiment, the first device may receive the first key signal of the input device, and obtain (e.g., generate or trigger) a transmission instruction for the target data based on the received first key signal, so as to implement a response to the target operation of the input device.

In another optional embodiment, the target operation of the input device may also be an operation performed by the user on the input device to change the control position of the input device on the first device in a case where the target data is in the selected state in the first device, and for example, the operation may specifically be an operation of dragging a mouse pointer to a certain screen edge of the display screen of the first device in a case where the target data is selected, and the input device generates and transmits a position change signal to the first device based on the operation.

Accordingly, in this embodiment, the first device may obtain a position change signal for a corresponding control position of the input device on the first device; and obtaining (e.g., generating or triggering) a transmission instruction for the target data in the event that the received position change signal satisfies a first one of the at least one position change condition.

The position change condition may be, but is not limited to, set to: and moving the input device from the position of the target data in the selected state to a certain edge of the display screen of the first device at the control position of the first device, or moving the input device from the position of the target data in the selected state to a position, the distance between which and the certain edge of the display screen of the first device is less than the set threshold value, at the control position of the first device.

The different position change conditions may correspond to edges of the display screen in different directions, respectively.

Based on the design of different position change conditions, a user can input a position change signal for indicating the transmission of target data to a corresponding second device to a first device by dragging a mouse pointer to the edge of the corresponding direction of the display screen of the first device under the condition that the target data on the first device is selected.

The target data may be, but is not limited to, any type or form of data on the first device, such as documents/document collections, folders, pictures, videos, application installation packages, and the like.

102, transmitting the target data to a target second device by using connection with the target second device; wherein the target second device is in a state responsive to operation of the input device at least after the target data transfer.

The connection between the first device and the target second device may also be a wired connection or a wireless connection, for example, a wireless connection is established between the first device and the target second device through a bluetooth module or a Wi-Fi module respectively disposed in the first device and the target second device, and the connection between the first device and the target second device may be established in advance, or the connection may be established in real time when the first device generates the transmission instruction and needs to transmit the target data to the target second device, which is not limited herein.

After the first device responds to the target operation of the input device connected with the first device and obtains a transmission instruction of target data, the first device responds to the instruction and transmits the target data to the target second device based on the connection with the target second device, such as wired connection or wireless connection of Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and the like, without the aid of a network or a mobile storage medium.

And, the target second device is in a state responsive to the operation of the input device at least after the target data is transmitted to the target second device.

In this embodiment, after at least the target data is transmitted to the target second device, the target second device is in a state capable of responding to the operation of the input device, which may ensure that at least corresponding operations may be performed on the target second device by using the input device, for example, storing the target data to a corresponding position of the target second device, using the target data on the target second device, or performing an editing operation on the target data, and the like.

In implementation, at any time within the time period from the first device waiting for the target data to be transmitted to the target second device to the completion of the transmission of the target data, the use right of the input device owned by the first device is transferred to the use right of the input device owned by the second device, so that the target second device is in a state capable of responding to the operation of the input device at least after the target data is transmitted. Preferably, the usage rights of the input device may be transferred to the target second device when the first device is to start transmitting target data to the target second device.

Based on the scheme of the embodiment, in a scene that one-to-many operation control is performed on a plurality of electronic devices (such as a plurality of PCs) by using one input device such as a mouse, cross-device data transmission can be conveniently, efficiently and quickly performed among different electronic devices, and the use right of each electronic device to the input device is transferred due to data transmission, so that the electronic device at the data receiving party can be ensured to have the use right of the input device after completing data receiving. The transfer of the use right of the input device by different electronic devices can also enable only one electronic device to be in a state capable of responding to the operation of the input device at each specific moment in the one-to-many operation control scene, so that the disorder of operation control in the scene is avoided.

In summary, in the processing method provided by the present application, the first device obtains a transmission instruction for the target data by responding to a target operation of the input device connected thereto, and transmits the target data to the target second device by using a connection with the target second device after obtaining the transmission instruction. Therefore, by means of the scheme, two different devices (such as the first device and the second device) can be operated based on the target of the input device, data direct transmission is achieved through connection between the two devices, a network or a mobile storage medium is not needed, and cross-device data direct transmission can be conveniently, efficiently and quickly achieved.

The data transmission from the first device to the target second device needs to be premised on determining the target second device, for example, for a control scenario of a mouse over multiple PCs, a target PC for receiving data is determined from other PCs except a PC currently used for sending data, and thus, in an alternative embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, before step 102 — transmitting the target data to the target second device by using a wireless connection with the target second device, the processing method applied to the first device may further include the following processing:

step 201, determining the target second device;

in practical applications, the number of the second devices may be one or more, for example, in a scenario where a plurality of PCs are controlled by a mouse, at least one other PC (second device) such as the PC2 or the PC3 may be included in addition to the PC1 (first device) serving as a data sender.

In determining the target second device, optionally, the target second device for being the data receiver may be determined from the at least one second device based on pre-configured configuration information. The configuration information may include, but is not limited to, preset data transceiving relationship information between different electronic devices, and for example, taking a scenario in which a mouse is used to perform operation control on three PCs as an example, the data transceiving relationship information may be set as:

PC1→PC2→PC3→PC1；

in the above-described data transmission/reception relationship information, pointing from one device to another device based on an arrow indicates that data on the one device can be transmitted to the other device. Based on the configured transceiving relationship information, for a case where the first device to be currently sending data is any one of the PCs 1, 2, and 3, the target second device for receiving data may be uniquely determined, for example, if the first device to be currently sending data is the PC3, the target second device may be determined to be the PC1, and based on the configuration, any one of the PCs 1, 2, and 3 may send data to any other device as needed, for example, taking the PC1 needs to transmit data to the PC3 as an example, data transmission from the PC1 to the PC3 may be achieved based on data direct transmission between the PC1 and the PC2 and data direct transmission between the PC2 and the PC3, and in this process, the usage right of an input device such as a mouse may be transferred from the PC1 to the PC2 and then transferred from the PC2 to the PC3 along with the transmission of data.

In another alternative embodiment, the target second device may be determined according to the attribute parameter of the first key signal.

The attribute parameter of the first key signal may include, but is not limited to, a signal type of the first key signal, and the signal type of the first key signal may specifically include, but is not limited to, a single click, a double click, a long press, and the like.

In this embodiment, the correspondence between different signal types of the first button and different second devices may be preset, and still taking the above scenario of performing operation control on three PCs using a mouse as an example, the correspondence between different signal types of the first button and different second devices may be set as:

clicking: PC 1;

double clicking: PC 2;

long press: PC 3;

therefore, when the target data on the PC1 or the PC2 needs to be transmitted to the PC3, the user can perform a long-press operation on a first key of an input device such as a mouse under the condition that the target data on the PC1 or the PC2 is in a selected state, for example, a long-press mouse side key or the like, so as to send a first key signal for instructing the target data to be transmitted to the PC3 to the PC1 or the PC2, and accordingly, the PC1 or the PC2 can determine that the PC3 is a target second device based on the long-press signal type of the first key signal.

In another alternative embodiment, the first device may also determine the target second device based on a first position change condition being met by a position change signal of the input device controlling the position on the first device, wherein different position change conditions correspond to different second devices.

As described above, the different position change conditions may correspond to edges of the display screen in different directions, respectively, and when the user is in a selected state on the first device, the control position of the input device on the first device is changed to the edge of the first device in a specific direction of the display screen of the first device, for example, when the mouse pointer is dragged to move to the edge of the display screen in the specific direction, the first device may detect the position change signal generated by the operation, and determine whether the detected position change signal satisfies a certain condition among the position change conditions, wherein when it is determined that the first position change condition corresponding to the edge direction is satisfied, the target second device corresponding to the first position change condition may be further determined based on a corresponding relationship between the position change conditions and the second device.

Still taking the scenario of using the mouse to perform operation control on three PCs as an example, referring to fig. 3, the edges of the PC display screen in the left, right and upper directions may be set to correspond to the PCs 1, 2 and 3, respectively, that is:

left edge: PC 1;

right edge: PC 2;

upper edge: PC 3;

based on the above setting, the target second device that needs to receive the target data can be specified to the first device by dragging the mouse pointer to move to the corresponding edge (or move to be close to the corresponding edge) when the first device is in the state of selecting the target data.

In addition, in implementation, only the left and right edges of the display screen may be adopted, and the corresponding relationship between the different edges and the different second devices may be dynamically determined in combination with the left and right layout positions of the electronic device, and for example, the second device adjacent to the corresponding edge of the first device in the layout position may be used as the target second device corresponding to the edge, as shown in fig. 4, in the case where the PC1 is the first device for sending target data, when the target data is selected and the mouse pointer is moved to the right edge of the PC1, the PC2 closest to the edge may be used as the target second device, and in the case where the PC2 is the first device for sending target data, when the target data is selected and the mouse pointer is moved to the right edge of the PC2, the PC3 closest to the edge may be used as the target second device.

In practical applications, for any of the above implementation manners, the user may perform specific corresponding information configuration based on actual requirements, for example, configure data transceiving relationship information between different PCs, configure corresponding relationships between different signal types of the first key and different second devices, or configure corresponding relationships between edges/different position changing conditions of the display screen in different directions and different second devices.

In an alternative embodiment, referring to the flowchart of the processing method shown in fig. 5, the processing method applied to the first device may further include, before transmitting the target data to the target second device by using a wireless connection with the target second device in step 102:

step 501, the first device is switched to a state incapable of responding to the first type operation or the first type signal of the input device.

Wherein the first type of operation or first type of signal comprises at least: an operation or signal for switching to a selected state and/or changing position. The switching to the selected state may specifically include, but is not limited to, switching a corresponding object (such as a document, an application installation package, and the like) on the first device from the unselected state to the selected state; the changing of the position may specifically refer to changing the control position of the input device on the first device.

Further, the first type operation or the first type signal may refer to an operation of inputting information, controlling an operation, or the like, to the first device by using the input device or a signal generated by such an operation.

Specifically, the first device may be switched to a state incapable of responding to the first type operation or the first type signal of the input device by interrupting the connection between the first device and the input device.

In an implementation, optionally, the connection between the first device and the input device may be interrupted by disconnecting a communication connection channel between the first device and the input device, such as disconnecting a bluetooth connection between the first device and the input device (subsequently, when the input device needs to be switched back to the first device, the bluetooth connection may be reconnected to the first device based on the historical pairing record), but not limited to this, the communication connection channel between the first device and the input device may also be maintained, but the response of the first device to the first type of operation or the first type of signal of the input device is blocked, so as to realize the interruption of the connection between the first device and the input device, and further realize the switching of the first device to a state in which the first type of operation or the first type of signal of the input device cannot be responded.

It should be noted that the first type of operation or the first type of signal does not include an operation of switching the input device from another device (e.g., the target second device) back to the first device, so that the first device can still respond to a corresponding operation of switching the input device back to the first device after performing the state switch provided in step 501, such as a connection request (corresponding to a situation of disconnecting the communication connection channel between the first device and the input device) sent to the first device when responding to the input device switching back to the first device, or a stop interrupt indication signal (corresponding to a situation of maintaining the communication connection channel between the first device and the input device but blocking the first device from responding to the first type of operation/signal of the input device) sent to the first device when responding to the input device switching back to the first device, and so as to resume the connection between the first device and the input device, so that the first device re-owns the right to use the input device.

In this embodiment, before transmitting the target data to the target second device, the first device is switched to the state incapable of responding to the first type operation or the first type signal of the input device, so that when the target second device obtains the right to use the input device, the first device and the target second device can simultaneously respond to the first type operation or the first type signal of the input device, and accordingly, the occurrence of operation/control disorder in the one-to-many control scenario of the input device and the electronic device is avoided.

The first device may transmit target data to the target second device on the premise that a communication connection is established between the first device and the target second device, and therefore, in an alternative embodiment, referring to the flowchart of the processing method shown in fig. 6, the processing method applied to the first device may further include, before transmitting the target data to the target second device by using a wireless connection with the target second device in step 102:

601, broadcasting a request signal of a connection request if the communication connection with the target second equipment is not established;

step 602, accepting a connection establishment operation between the target second device and the first device, which is executed by the target second device based on the response to the request signal; the target second device responds to the request signal based on a connection event between the input device and the target second device.

When the first device needs to transmit target data to the target second device, if the first device does not establish communication connection with the second device, the first device may broadcast a request signal of the connection request, and each second device may receive the signal broadcast by the first device.

In addition, as described above, when the first device is to start transmitting the target data to the target second device, the transfer of the usage right of the input device by the first device and the target second device may be performed, and in the transfer process of the usage right, the input device may specifically send a connection request (such as a bluetooth connection request) to the target second device or send an instruction to terminate connection interruption to the target second device, so as to establish or restore a connection with the target second device, based on which, after the plurality of second devices receive the request signal broadcast by the first device, the target second device may know itself as a receiving device based on a current connection event between itself and the input device, so that a communication connection with the first device may be established in response to the request signal broadcast by the first device based on the current connection event with the input device, while other second devices do not respond to the request signal broadcast by the first device because no connection event with the input device is currently occurring.

It is easy to understand that the connection event between the target second device and the input device may refer to an event that is currently occurring between the target second device and the input device and that establishes a connection channel (the input device establishes a connection with the target second device based on historical pairing information with the target second device), or may also refer to an event that the connection between the target second device and the input device is stopped and interrupted (that is, a communication connection channel is always maintained between the target second device and the input device, but the target second device switches from a state that cannot respond to the first type operation/first type signal of the input device to a state that can respond to the first type operation/first type signal of the input device).

The first device and the target second device can directly transmit data between the first device and the target second device based on a second connecting device, such as a bluetooth wireless transceiver or a Wi-Fi wireless transceiver, provided by the input device and used for a controlled side (a PC side), which is installed respectively, that is, different devices such as the first device and the second device can not only realize connection interaction with the input device based on the second connecting device provided by the input device, but also realize cross-device data direct transmission between the first device and the target second device based on the second connecting device provided by the input device. Of course, the connection device used for performing data direct transmission between different devices across devices is not limited to be provided by the input device, and is not limited herein.

In an implementation, when a first device needs to transmit target data to a target second device, if the first device does not establish a communication connection with the target second device, the first device may specifically control a connection apparatus (e.g., a bluetooth or Wi-Fi wireless transceiver provided by an input device and used for a PC side) installed therein to start an AP (Access Point) mode, and broadcast a request signal of a connection request in the mode to be used for finding the target second device outward, and when each second device receives the broadcasted request signal, it determines whether to respond to the signal based on whether a connection event with the input device occurs currently, where if a connection event with the input device occurs currently, the device responds to the received request signal based on the connection event and accesses the AP of the first device, and otherwise, does not respond.

The first device correspondingly can accept the connection establishment operation between the target second device and the first device, which is executed by the target second device in response to the request signal, so as to realize the establishment of the connection between the first device and the target second device, and then, the target data can be further sent to the target second device based on the established connection.

Optionally, in another embodiment, when the first device needs to send target data to the target second device, before the first device interrupts connection with the input device, verification information (e.g., a pin code) may also be transmitted to the input device, when the input device generates a connection event with the target second device based on the transfer of the usage right, the input device submits the verification information to the target second device, and subsequently, when the first device transmits data, it may first verify whether the first device is the target second device based on the verification code provided by the second device, and transmit the target data to the first device only if the verification passes, and this processing manner implements a protection mechanism, and does not cause that non-specified devices (e.g., other second devices except the target second device) receive the target data due to error transmission.

For example, in the present application, in the case that the first device establishes connection with the target second device by opening the AP mode and transmits data to the target second device, optionally, after the data transmission process from the first device to the target second device is finished or after the data transmission process is finished and waits for a preset time period, the connection channel between the first device and the target second device is disconnected, so as to release the unidirectional data transmission mode between the first device and the target second device in the control scenario of the input device for the plurality of electronic devices, the two devices are not limited in the unidirectional data transmission mode any more, and subsequently, when the first device needs to transmit data to the corresponding second device in the one-to-many control scenario or the corresponding second device needs to transmit data to the first device, the data transmission device can start the AP mode again, and based on the processing procedure in the AP mode, the connection and the data transmission to the receiver device are realized. However, the connection may be disconnected at another time, for example, when the target second device needs to transmit data to the first device, the connection may be temporarily disconnected, and the first device may be connected to the target second device based on the AP mode activated by the target second device.

In this embodiment, by setting the target second device to respond to the connection request signal broadcast by the first device based on the current connection event with the input device, or by setting the protection mechanism based on the verification code, it is further possible to receive the target data by the specified target second device, and avoid the occurrence of the phenomenon that non-specified devices (e.g., other second devices except the target second device) receive the target data.

In an alternative embodiment, referring to the flowchart of the processing method shown in fig. 7, the processing method applied to the first device may further include, after obtaining the transmission instruction for the target data in step 101:

step 701, controlling the first device to switch from a current first state to a second state;

The first state is a normal operation state of the first device, and the second state may be, but is not limited to, a standby state, which is lower in power consumption than the first state of the first device, but still can ensure that the first device normally transmits data to the target second device.

In implementation, the first device may be selected to switch from the current first state to the second state at any one of the timings before, after, or during the transmission of the target data from the first device to the second device, and the timing for switching the states of the first device is not limited in this embodiment.

In this embodiment, after the first device obtains the transmission instruction for the target data, the first device is switched from the current first state to the second state, so that on the premise that the first device can normally transmit data to the target second device, the device power consumption of the first device is further saved.

Matching with the processing method applied to the first device in each of the above embodiments, the embodiment of the present application further discloses a processing method applicable to an input device, where the input device may be a mouse, such as a wired or wireless mouse, of an electronic device such as a notebook computer, a desktop computer, and a kiosk, and a flowchart of the processing method applicable to the input device is shown in fig. 8, and may include the following processing steps:

step 801, detecting a target operation on the input device, and generating a corresponding operation signal.

The target operation is an operation for instructing the first device to perform cross-device data transfer of target data. More specifically, the target operation is an operation for instructing the first device to transfer target data to the target second device.

Alternatively, the detecting of the target operation on the input device and the generating of the corresponding operation signal may be detecting an operation of a first key of the input device by a user when the first device is in a state of selecting the target data, and generating the first key signal.

The first button may be a button or a combination of buttons on the input device, such as a button disposed on the left or right side of the mouse, i.e., the mouse side button described above.

Or, alternatively, the detecting of the target operation on the input device and the generating of the corresponding operation signal may also be detecting of a position change operation on the input device by a user when the first device is in a state of selecting the target data, and the generating of the position change signal of the input device.

Specifically, for example, the operation of dragging the mouse pointer to move to the edge of the display screen when the target data on the first device is in the selected state by the user may be detected, and a corresponding position change signal may be generated when the operation is detected.

Step 802, sending the operation signal to a first device, so that the first device obtains a transmission instruction for target data according to the operation signal, and transmitting the target data to a target second device based on the transmission instruction.

After the input device detects a target operation performed thereon by the user and generates a corresponding operation signal, the input device further transmits the operation signal to the first device.

The operation signal may be the first key signal or the position change signal, and in the case that the operation signal is the first key signal, the first device may determine the target second device based on the attribute parameter of the received first key signal, such as signal type of single click, double click, long press, and the like, and generate a transmission instruction for instructing transmission of the target data to the target second device, and then further complete transmission of the target data to the target second device based on the instruction.

In the case where the operation signal is a position change signal, the first device determines whether the position change signal satisfies a corresponding position change condition of the at least one position change condition, and in the case where it is determined that the first position change condition is satisfied, determines that the second device corresponding to the first position change condition is a target second device, generates a transmission instruction for instructing transmission of the target data to the target second device accordingly, and then completes transmission of the target data to the target second device further based on the instruction.

And the input equipment is in a state of being capable of controlling the target second equipment at least after the first equipment finishes transmitting the target data to the target second equipment based on the transmission instruction. In an implementation, the input device may be in a state capable of controlling the target second device at least after the first device completes transmission of the target data to the target second device by transfer of the usage right between the first device and the target second device.

Preferably, the input device may interrupt a connection with the first device and generate a connection event with the target second device so as to be in a state capable of controlling the target second device before the first device transmits the target data to the target second device.

The input device interrupts the connection with the first device, which may refer to disconnecting the communication connection channel with the first device, such as disconnecting the bluetooth connection between the two devices, or may refer to maintaining the communication connection channel between the two devices, but blocking the first device from responding to the first type operation or the first type signal of the input device.

The occurrence of the connection event between the input device and the target second device may refer to establishment of a communication connection channel with the target second device, such as establishment of a bluetooth connection, a Wi-Fi connection, or the like, or may also refer to stopping of connection interruption between the input device and the target second device, that is, the communication connection channel is maintained between the input device and the target second device, but the target second device is switched from a state incapable of responding to the first type operation/first type signal of the input device to a state capable of responding to the first type operation/first type signal of the input device.

The first type of operation or the first type of signal of the input device may refer to the description of the corresponding embodiments above, and is not described in detail.

By using the scheme of the embodiment, two different devices (such as the first device and the second device) can directly transmit data through the connection between the two devices based on the first operation of the input device without the aid of a network or a mobile storage medium, and can conveniently, efficiently and quickly perform cross-device data direct transmission.

In an alternative embodiment, referring to the flowchart of the processing method shown in fig. 9, the processing method applied to the input device may further include, after the step 802 of sending the operation signal to the first device:

step 901, determining a target second device, and establishing a connection with the target second device.

Wherein optionally, the target second device may be determined based on the configuration information;

or, the target second device can be determined according to the attribute parameter of the first key signal, such as the signal type;

or, the target second device may also be determined according to the indication information sent by the first device; the indication information is generated by the first device according to a first position change condition that is satisfied by a position change signal of a control position of the input device on the first device, the indication information carries an identifier of the target second device, such as a device number or an address of the target second device, and different position change conditions maintained in the first device correspond to different second devices respectively.

In addition, alternatively, in practical implementation, only one of the first device and the input device may be selected to perform the determination of the target second device based on the corresponding manner described above, and after one of the first device and the input device determines the target second device, the other device may be synchronized to the other device, so that the other device does not need to repeat the determination process of the target second device.

In this step, after the input device determines the target second device, the input device establishes a connection with the target second device, as described above, specifically, the input device may establish a communication connection channel with the target second device, or may also stop connection interruption between the input device and the target second device, that is, the communication connection channel is maintained between the input device and the target second device, but the target second device switches from a state incapable of responding to the first type operation/first type signal of the input device to a state capable of responding to the first type operation/first type signal of the input device.

In an alternative implementation, referring to fig. 10, the processing method applied to the input device in step 802 — after sending the operation signal to the first device, may further include:

step 1001, switching the input device to a state in which the first type operation cannot be performed on the input device or the first type signal is effectively transmitted.

The input device is switched to a state that the first type operation cannot be performed on the input device or the first type signal cannot be effectively transmitted, optionally, a communication connection channel between the input device and the first device is disconnected, for example, a bluetooth connection between the input device and the first device is disconnected, and subsequently, when the input device needs to be switched back to the first device, so that the first device has right of use of the input device again, the communication connection channel between the input device and the first device can be reestablished based on historical pairing conditions with the first device.

Or, as another implementation manner, the input device is switched to a state in which the first type operation cannot be performed on the input device or the first type signal is effectively transmitted, or the response of the first device to the first type operation of the input device or the first type signal is blocked while a communication connection channel between the input device and the first device is maintained, so that the input device is switched to a state in which the first type operation cannot be performed on the input device or the first type signal is effectively transmitted.

In this embodiment, after the operation signal is sent to the first device, the input device is switched to a state in which the first type of operation cannot be performed on the input device or the first type of signal is effectively sent, so that a situation that the first device and the target second device can simultaneously respond to the first type of operation or the first type of signal of the input device when the target second device obtains the right to use the input device can be avoided, and accordingly, an operation/control disorder phenomenon in a one-to-many control scenario of the input device and the electronic device is avoided.

In addition, the embodiment of the application also discloses a processing method applicable to a second device, the second device can also be but is not limited to an electronic device such as a notebook computer, a desktop computer or an all-in-one machine, the second device and the first device are applied to a scene which can be controlled by the input device together, the first device can perform cross-device data direct transmission to the second device based on the target operation of the input device, and at least after the data transmission is completed, the second device is in a state capable of responding to the operation of the input device.

The processing method applicable to the second device may include the processing steps of:

acquiring target data transmitted by the first equipment based on the transmission instruction by using the connection with the first equipment; the transmission instruction is an instruction obtained by the first device in response to a target operation of an input device wirelessly connected with the first device.

And at least after the target data is obtained, enabling the second device to be in a state capable of responding to the operation of the input device.

In practice, the second device performs the above-mentioned processing specifically with the identity of the target second device.

In accordance with a processing method applicable to the first device, when the first device transmits data to the target second device based on the connection with the target second device, the target second device may receive the target data transmitted by the first device based on the connection with the first device.

Further, since the target second device is in a state capable of responding to the operation of the input device after at least obtaining the target data transmitted by the first device, when receiving the target data of the first device, the target second device may receive an indication operation of the input device on a storage location of the target data on the target second device (for example, clicking a mouse to make the device enter a corresponding storage path, or specifying a storage path for the data transmission with the input device when receiving a data transmission request of the first device, etc.), and accordingly, the target data may be stored to the target location indicated by the indication operation on the target second device based on the indication operation.

By using the scheme of this embodiment, two different devices (such as the first device and the second device) can operate based on the target of the input device, and data direct transmission is realized through the connection between the two devices without using a network or a mobile storage medium, so that cross-device data direct transmission can be realized conveniently, efficiently and quickly.

Based on the characteristic that the target second device obtains the right of use of the input device, the control position (such as a mouse pointer) of the input device at the target second device can be visually presented at the corresponding position of the display screen of the target second device, in another embodiment, the target data can be stored into a storage path corresponding to the current control position of the input device at the target second device, and a data file icon (such as a word document icon) corresponding to the storage path can be visually displayed at the current control position. For example, after the PC1 transmits data to the PC2 and the PC2 obtains the right to use the mouse, the pointer of the mouse is presented at a corresponding position on the display screen of the PC2 (the position may be a position that the PC2 maintains from the time of obtaining the right to use the mouse, or may be a position that is presented based on the operation of the mouse by the user after obtaining the right to use the mouse), based on the implementation, the received target data can be directly stored to the currently corresponding storage path of the pointer of the mouse, and the data file icon thereof is visually presented at the current position of the pointer of the mouse.

In an optional implementation, before obtaining the target data transmitted by the first device based on the transmission instruction, the processing method applicable to the second device may further include:

if the wireless connection with the first equipment is not established, obtaining a request signal of a connection request broadcasted by the first equipment;

establishing a wireless connection with the first device in response to the request signal based on a connection event with the input device.

In the implementation, as described above, when a first device needs to transmit target data to a target second device, if the first device does not establish a communication connection with the target second device, the first device may control a connection device (e.g., a bluetooth or Wi-Fi wireless transceiver provided by an input device and used for a PC side) installed in the first device to start an AP mode, and broadcast a request signal of a connection request in the AP mode to find the target second device outwards, and when each second device receives the broadcasted request signal, it determines whether to respond to the signal based on whether a connection event with the input device currently occurs, wherein if a connection event with the input device currently occurs in one second device, the first device is connected to the first device by responding to the received request signal based on the connection and accessing the AP turned on by the first device, so that the target data of the first device can be received based on the connection, otherwise, no response is made.

In addition, optionally, before the target second device receives the target data of the first device, the target second device may also feed back a verification code granted by the first device through the input device to the first device, so that the target data of the first device can be received only when the target second device passes the verification of the first device.

Corresponding to the processing method applied to the input device, the embodiment of the present application further discloses an input device, which may be, but is not limited to, a mouse of an electronic device such as a notebook computer, a desktop computer, or an all-in-one machine, such as a wireless mouse or a wired mouse.
