Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application are described below clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings, 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.

The technical terms referred to in the embodiments of the present application are explained first below:

(1) differentiation of master and slave devices.

In this embodiment of the present application, the slave device may be directly mounted on the master device, and for the master device, the slave device is determined to be a peripheral mounted on itself. The master device may manage the slave devices.

In the embodiment of the application, the master device may respond to the cooperative task initiated by the user, decompose the cooperative task, schedule a plurality of sub-tasks obtained by decomposition, and manage the slave devices mounted on the master device.

For the slave device, the slave device may not respond to the cooperative task initiated by the user, may not decompose the cooperative task, and may not schedule a plurality of decomposed subtasks, and the slave device may respond to the cooperative task initiated by the master device, and may also report its own operating state to the master device.

In some possible implementations, the devices may be divided according to resource richness of the devices, so that a master device and a slave device may be obtained. Specifically, the master device refers to a device with resource richness greater than a first preset threshold. The slave device refers to a device with resource richness smaller than a second preset threshold. Here, the first preset threshold and the second preset threshold may be the same or different, and the embodiment of the present application is not particularly limited.

In the embodiment of the present application, the resource richness of the device may refer to the capability size of the device. For example, the capabilities of a device may include memory capacity, Central Processing Unit (CPU) Processing speed, remaining power, computing power, and storage power, among others.

In a possible implementation manner, in the case that there are 1 master device, for example, the collaboration system includes 1 master device and 2 slave devices, and the mounting of the slave device on the master device may include: both the slave device 1 and the slave device 2 are mounted on the master device 1.

In another possible implementation manner, in the case that there are a plurality of master devices, for example, 2 master devices (master device 1 and master device 2) and 2 slave devices (slave device 1 and slave device 2) are included in the cooperative system. The mounting of the slave device on the at least one master device may comprise: the slave device 1 and the slave device 2 are mounted on the master device 1, or the slave device 1 and the slave device 2 are mounted on the master device 2, or the slave device 1 is mounted on the master device 1, the slave device 2 is mounted on the master device 2, and so on.

In order to better understand the method of cooperative work of the embodiment of the present application, a brief description is made below with reference to fig. 1 and fig. 2 for possible application scenarios of the embodiment of the present application:

the application scene one: the multiple devices include a master device and a plurality of slave devices.

As shown in fig. 1, devices T1, T2, T3, T4, and T5 together form a collaborative system, and specifically, device T1 may be a smartphone, device T2 may be a camera, device T3 may be a projector, device T4 may be a normal speaker, and device T5 may be a normal display screen. The device T1 is a master device (also referred to as a master), the master device is configured to respond to a cooperative task initiated by a user, decompose the cooperative task, and schedule a plurality of sub tasks obtained by decomposition, and may also manage devices included in the cooperative system, and the devices T2, T3, T4, and T5 are slave devices (also referred to as slave), and these devices may form the cooperative system through a hot spot or a router of a certain device. Specifically, the device T1 may perform network synchronization by sending a broadcast message to each slave device, and after successful networking, the device T1 sends synchronization time synchronization information (e.g., handshake message) to each slave device. After networking is successful and synchronization is completed, each device in the collaboration system may perform collaboration playing, collaboration recording, collaboration conference, and the like under the control of the master device T1.

Application scenario two: the multiple devices include a plurality of master devices and a plurality of slave devices.

As shown in fig. 2, devices T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, and T7 jointly form a collaboration system, and specifically, device T1 may be a smartphone a, device T2 may be a desktop computer, device T3 may be a portable notebook, device T4 may be a smartphone B, device T5 may be a normal speaker, device T6 may be a normal display screen, and device T7 may be a camera. In practical application, the devices T1, T2, T3, and T4 are master devices, each master device may be configured to respond to a cooperative task initiated by a user, decompose the cooperative task, and schedule multiple sub-tasks obtained by decomposition, and may also be configured to manage devices included in the cooperative system, and the devices T5, T6, and T7 are slave devices (may also be referred to as slave devices), and these devices may form a cooperative system through a hotspot or a router of a certain device. Specifically, the master device and the master device, and the master device and the slave devices may perform networking by sending broadcast information or multicast information, and after the networking is successful, any one of the master devices may send synchronization time synchronization information (for example, handshake message) to each of the slave devices to perform network synchronization. After networking is successful and synchronization is completed, each device in the collaboration system can perform collaboration playing, collaboration recording, collaboration conference and the like under the control of any master device.

It should be noted that, when there are a plurality of master devices, each master device in the plurality of master devices stores the device resource information of all devices included in the collaborative system, and screens the devices that can execute the collaborative task according to the device resource information of all devices in the collaborative system.

It should be understood that the collaboration system shown in fig. 1 and 2 is only an example and should not be construed as limiting.

In the embodiment of the present application, a networking mode and a network structure of the collaborative system, and the number of devices and the types of devices included in the collaborative system are not specifically limited, and it is only necessary that a plurality of devices can be combined together to realize a collaborative task, which is within the protection scope of the embodiment of the present application.

In the embodiments of the present application, the "plurality" is understood to mean at least 2, for example, 2, 3, 8, and so on.

In the embodiment of the present application, the device may be a mobile phone, a smart phone, a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), a tablet computer, a wearable device (e.g., a watch, a bracelet), a sound box, a camera, and a device that can enable devices to communicate with each other.

Based on the application scenario shown in fig. 1, the multiple devices include a master device and multiple slave devices, and for convenience of understanding, how to construct a collaboration system formed by the multiple devices (a master device and multiple slave devices) in the embodiment of the present application is described below.

As described above, in the embodiment of the present application, the resource richness of the device may refer to the capability size of the device. When the master device is selected from the plurality of devices, the master device may be selected according to the capability sizes of the plurality of devices, and a device having a capability greater than a first preset threshold value is selected from the plurality of devices as the master device. For example, a device with a capability greater than a first preset threshold may be selected from the multiple devices as a master device according to several aspects, such as memory capacity, Processing speed of a Central Processing Unit (CPU), remaining power, and storage capability. For example, as shown in fig. 1, a device TI (handset) is used as a master device of the cooperative system.

In this embodiment, a master device may send networking information to a plurality of slave devices. For example, as shown in fig. 1, the device T1 is a master device, and in one possible implementation, the master device T1 may send networking information to the slave devices T2, T3, T4, and T5. In one possible implementation, the master device T1 may send networking information to one slave device first, and then the slave device forwards the networking information to other slave devices.

In the embodiment of the application, networking information is used for establishing a collaboration system between a master device and a plurality of slave devices, and a device resource pool can be obtained based on the established collaboration system.

In this embodiment, the master device may send networking information to each slave device in a broadcast manner, that is, the networking information may be broadcast information sent by the master device to each slave device. In some implementations, the master device may also send networking information to each slave device in a multicast manner, that is, the networking information may be multicast information sent by the master device to each slave device.

In this embodiment, after receiving the networking information sent by the master device, if the slave device determines to join the collaboration system, the slave device may send networking confirmation information to the master device to confirm that the slave device joins the collaboration system.

In a possible implementation manner, after each slave device in the plurality of slave devices receives the networking information sent by the master device, each slave device sends a piece of networking confirmation information to the master device.

In another possible implementation manner, a slave device in the multiple slave devices may send the received networking acknowledgement information of the other slave devices to the master device in a forwarding manner.

It should be understood that, in practical application, devices in the same local area network may be networked in wifi, bluetooth, or other manners, so as to obtain a collaboration system.

Then, for the master device, after receiving the networking acknowledgement information of the plurality of slave devices, the master device may send synchronization time tick information, which may be handshake information, to the plurality of slave devices.

Thereafter, each of the plurality of slave devices replies handshake information to the master device, so that preliminary synchronization between the respective devices in the cooperative system can be achieved.

It can be understood that, after networking is successful, the master device may obtain device resource information by abstracting, classifying and quantifying service skills of all devices in the collaboration system, where the device resource information may include service skills owned by each device and evaluation information corresponding to the service skills, and specifically, the device resource information may also include comprehensive evaluation information of the devices, and may also include health evaluation information of each device. In practical applications, the abstraction, classification and quantification of service skills for the devices in the collaborative system may be performed by the master device according to the functions provided by the devices (the functions are functions that can be provided by hardware entities of the devices). Taking a mobile phone as an example, since the mobile phone has a display, a speaker, and a memory, it is abstracted into a display skill, an audio playing skill, a storage skill, and the like.

In the embodiment of the present application, in addition to the slave device responding to the cooperative task initiated by the master device, each slave device may also report the running state information to the master device. Then, the master device may determine whether each slave device is abnormal according to the running state information reported by each slave device, and when the slave device (for example, the first slave device) is abnormal, the master device may send the device clearing information to the first slave device. Here, the clear device information is used to clear the slave device from the cooperative system, and in this case, the master device updates the device resource information in the cooperative system, that is, deletes the device resource information of the first slave device.

It should also be understood that, in the case where another slave device is newly added to the cooperative system, the master device adds the device resource information of the newly added slave device to the cooperative system.

In the embodiment of the present application, the master device may construct a device skill map according to the device resource information, for example, taking the collaboration system shown in fig. 1 as an example, and a device skill map for constructing the collaboration system may be shown in fig. 3 as an example, where, taking a display skill as an example, in the collaboration system, the projector, the mobile phone, and the general display screen have display skills.

Based on the device resource information stored by the master device shown in fig. 1, please refer to fig. 4, which is a flowchart illustrating a method for cooperative work according to an embodiment of the present application, where the method shown in fig. 4 may be executed by a cooperative device, and the method may include, but is not limited to, steps S300 to S304, which are described in detail below:

step S300, a first main device receives input operation of a first user, generates a first cooperative task according to the input operation, and decomposes the cooperative task into a plurality of first subtasks; the first master device is a master device of the multiple devices.

In the embodiment of the present application, the input operation of the user may be that the user performs a touch operation on a function key of a certain application program displayed on the device, where the touch operation includes, but is not limited to, a click operation, a press operation, and the like. For example, the clicking operation may include a single click, a double click, and the like. For example, the pressing operation may include a long pressing operation, may also include a heavy pressing operation, and the like.

In this embodiment of the present application, the device generates the cooperative task according to an input operation of a user, for example, the input operation of the user is that the user performs a one-click operation on a "video call" function key of the instant messaging application, and the device generates the cooperative task according to the input operation, for example, the cooperative task is as follows: video projection; for another example, the input operation of the user is that the user performs one long pressing operation on the "play" function key of the music application, and the device generates the cooperative task according to the input operation, for example, the cooperative task is: and (6) playing the song.

It should be understood that the input operation of the user is used for characterizing the requirement of the user in a certain collaborative application scene.

In the embodiment of the present application, a device may decompose a collaborative task into 2 subtasks, or into 3 subtasks, and so on.

Taking the cooperative task as "video screen projection" as an example, the device decomposes the cooperative task to obtain 3 subtasks. Specifically, the 3 subtasks may be: and recording a video, playing the video and playing the audio.

Step S302, the first master device selects, according to the device resource information, a device corresponding to each first subtask from devices capable of executing the first subtask.

In this embodiment of the present application, the device resource information refers to device resource information of all devices in the coordination system, including device resource information of a master device and device resource information of a slave device mounted on the master device.

As described above, taking the collaboration system shown in fig. 1 as an example, the device skill map of the collaboration system is shown in fig. 3, and taking the display skill as an example, in the collaboration system, the mobile phone T1, the projector T3, and the general display screen T5 have display skills; taking the shooting skill as an example, the mobile phone T1 and the camera T2 have shooting skills; for example, the handset T1 and the normal speaker T4 have audio skills. Therefore, the main device can select the device corresponding to each subtask from the devices capable of executing the 3 subtasks (video recording, video playing, and audio playing).

In one possible implementation manner, the device resource information includes service skills of the device and evaluation information corresponding to the service skills; here, the evaluation information corresponding to the service skill is used to describe the quality of the hardware entity providing the service skill to execute the subtask; the specific process that the first master device screens the devices corresponding to each first subtask from the devices capable of executing the first subtask according to the device resource information may include: the first main device obtains a first candidate device capable of executing each first subtask according to the service skill required when each first subtask is executed; and then, screening the first candidate equipment according to the evaluation information corresponding to the service skills to obtain equipment for executing each first subtask.

In the embodiment of the present application, the evaluation information of the service skills may be represented by a score or a grade, and the present application is not particularly limited. Taking the evaluation information of the service skills as an example, which is represented by scores, the following specifically explains how to determine the scores of the service skills:

in one possible implementation, the master device may determine the score of the service skill possessed by each device in the collaboration system by using the following method:

a1, the master device determines the grade of each service skill of the device according to the corresponding attribute of each service skill.

In an embodiment of the present application, the master device may determine a score for each service skill of the device according to equation (1):

P_ij＝w_j0f_j0+w_j1f_j1+...+w_jnf_jk (1)

wherein, P_ijScore representing jth service skill of ith device, f_jkA kth attribute representing a jth service skill.

For example, take the display as having display skills including attributes such as the size of the display, the brightness of the display, the resolution of the display, the refresh rate of the display, the color of the display, etc.

For another example, the speaker has audio playing skills, which include properties such as the lowest resonant frequency of the speaker, the efficiency of the speaker, and the sensitivity of the speaker.

For another example, the camera skill of the camera is taken as an example, and the camera skill includes attributes such as the definition of the camera, the signal-to-noise ratio of the camera, and the like.

In the embodiment of the present application, in consideration of different value ranges of attributes corresponding to different service skills, in this case, the jth service skill of the ith device is normalized, for example, normalized to the value interval [1,10], and a specific normalization method may be:

wherein f is_i ^*A value representing the normalized i-th attribute, f_iDenotes the value of the i-th attribute before normalization, max denotes the maximum value of the normalized value interval, and min denotes the minimum value of the normalized value interval.

It will be appreciated that the master device may determine the score of the service skills possessed by each device according to equation (1), for example, taking a cell phone as an example, the score of the plurality of service skills possessed by the device may include: audio skills 70 points; the display skill is 90 points, and the camera skill is 90 points.

It will be appreciated that with this implementation, a score for the service skills possessed by each device may be determined, and then the devices performing the subtasks may be filtered according to the scores. For example, the master device determines the device with the score larger than the set first threshold as the device for executing each first subtask. Here, the first threshold may be set by the first master device, or may be set by the first master device according to a requirement of a user, for example, the first threshold may be 80 points, and so on.

In a possible implementation manner, the device resource information includes service skills of the device, evaluation information corresponding to the service skills, and comprehensive evaluation information of the device; the comprehensive evaluation information of the equipment is used for describing the quality degree of the comprehensive capacity of the equipment; in this case, the specific process of the first master device screening the devices capable of performing each first subtask from the devices capable of performing the first subtask according to the device resource information may include: the first main device obtains a first candidate device capable of executing each first subtask according to the service skill required when each first subtask is executed; screening by the first main device in the first candidate devices according to the evaluation information corresponding to the service skills to obtain second candidate devices for executing each first subtask; and the first main equipment screens the second candidate equipment according to the comprehensive evaluation information of the equipment to obtain the equipment for executing each first subtask.

In this embodiment of the application, similarly, the comprehensive evaluation information of the device may be represented by a score, or may be represented by a grade, and taking the example that the comprehensive evaluation information of the device is represented by a score, in a possible implementation manner, the master device may determine, according to an attribute of each service skill, a score of each service skill that the device has, and then determine, according to a score corresponding to each service skill that the device includes, a total score of the device. This is specifically illustrated below:

b1, the master device determines the grade of each service skill of the device according to the corresponding attribute of each service skill;

in the embodiment of the present application, the master device may also determine the score of each service skill provided by the device according to the above formula (1).

For example, taking a mobile phone as an example, the scoring of the plurality of service skills possessed by the device may include: audio skills 70 points; the display skill is 90 points, and the camera skill is 90 points.

And B2, the master device determines the total score of the device according to the score corresponding to each service skill contained in the device.

In an embodiment of the present application, the master device may determine the total score of each device according to formula (2):

score(i)＝w₁P_i1+w₂P_i2+....+w_nP_in (2)

wherein score (i) represents the score of the ith device, w₁Weight ratio, P, representing the 1 st service skill of the ith device_i1A score representing a1 st service skill of an ith device; w is a_nWeight ratio, P, representing the nth service skill of the ith device_i1A score representing the nth service skill of the ith device.

In one possible implementation, the following should be satisfied: w is a₁+w₂+....+w_nA. Here, a represents a constant, for example, a ═ 1.

Take a mobile phone as an example, wherein the audio skill is 70 points; the display skill is 90 points, the camera skill is 90 points, the weight ratio of the audio skill is 0.3, the weight ratio of the display skill is 0.3, the weight ratio of the camera skill is 0.4, and then the total score of the mobile phone can be determined as follows: and 84 minutes.

It can be understood that, by this implementation, the total score (i.e., the comprehensive evaluation information) corresponding to each device can be determined, so that the devices executing the subtasks can be obtained by screening according to the total score. For example, the master device determines the device corresponding to the total score greater than the set second threshold as the device executing each first subtask. Here, the second threshold may be set by the first master device, or may be set by the first master device according to a user's requirement.

In the embodiment of the application, the main device can perform optimization on the device executing the subtask once according to the evaluation information corresponding to the service skill, and then perform optimization once again according to the comprehensive evaluation information of the device, so that the subtask can be prevented from being allocated to the device with poor performance to be executed, cooperative work among multiple devices can be ensured, and the execution progress of the cooperative task can be improved.

In one possible implementation manner, the device resource information includes service skills of the devices, evaluation information corresponding to the service skills, and health evaluation information of each device; the specific process that the first master device determines to execute the device corresponding to each first subtask according to the device resource information may include: the first main device obtains a first candidate device capable of executing each first subtask according to the service skill required when each first subtask is executed; and the first main equipment obtains equipment for executing each first subtask in the first candidate equipment by screening according to the evaluation information corresponding to the service skill and the health evaluation information of the equipment.

In a possible implementation manner, the master device may determine, according to an attribute of each service skill, a score of each service skill that the device has, and then determine, according to a score corresponding to each service skill included in the device and health evaluation information of the device, a total score of a jth service skill of an ith device. This is specifically illustrated below:

c1, the master device determines the grade of each service skill according to the corresponding attribute of each service skill;

in an embodiment of the present application, the master device may determine a score for each service skill of the device according to equation (1) above.

C2, the master device determines health assessment information for each device. Here, the health status information of the device, which describes the degree of health of the device, may be represented by a numerical value (e.g., a degree of health) or may be represented by a grade.

In an embodiment of the present application, the master device may determine the health of each device according to formula (3):

H_i＝k₁h₁+k₂h₂+...+k_nh_n (3)

wherein H_iThe health degree of the ith equipment is represented, k1 represents the 1 st index parameter, and h1 represents the health degree of the 1 st index parameter; kn denotes the nth index parameter, and hn denotes the health degree of the nth index parameter.

In the embodiments of the present application, the index parameters include, but are not limited to: network signal quality of the equipment, historical failure times of the equipment and the like.

And C3, determining the total score of the jth service skill of the ith equipment according to the score of each service skill and the health degree of the equipment.

In an embodiment of the present application, the master device may determine a total score of the jth service skill of the ith device according to formula (4):

score(D_ij)＝w'₁P_ij+w'₂H_i (4)

wherein, score (D)_ij) Total score, w ', representing ith device skill'₁Representing the ratio of weights, P_i1A score representing a jth service skill of an ith device; w'₂Represents the weight ratio, H_iIndicating the health of the ith device.

And C4, summing and averaging a plurality of service skills contained in each device to obtain a final score of the device.

In an embodiment of the present application, the master device may determine the final score of the ith device according to equation (5).

Wherein, score (D)_i) Representing the final score of the ith device, wherein m represents m service skills contained in the ith device; (D)_ij) A score representing the jth service skill of the ith device, j may take on a value of [1,2]。

Then, after determining the final scores of the devices, the devices performing the subtasks may be filtered according to the final scores. For example, the master device determines the device corresponding to the final score greater than the set third threshold as the device executing each first subtask. Here, the third second threshold may be set by the first master device, or may be set by the first master device according to a requirement of the user.

In the embodiment of the present application, the order of executing the score for determining the service skill provided to the device and the total score of the device is not limited. For example, in one possible implementation, the score of the service skills possessed by the device, the total score of the device, may be determined using the method described above before the collaborative system is not constructed. In another possible implementation manner, after the collaborative system is constructed, the score of the service skills possessed by the device and the total score of the device can be determined by adopting the method described above. In another possible implementation manner, after the main device receives an input operation of the user, the score of the service skill possessed by the device and the total score of the device may be determined by using the method described above. It should be noted that, the implementation manner of the service skill score of the determined device, the total score of the device, and the execution sequence of the determined score are only some cases, not all cases, and those skilled in the art may generate other modifications or changes based on the technical solution of the present application in understanding the spirit of the present application, so long as the implemented functions and the achieved technical effects are similar to the present application, and the scope of the present application shall be covered. The first threshold value, the second threshold value, and the third threshold value may be the same or different.

In one possible implementation, the master device may determine the device corresponding to the M-bit top-ranked score as the device for executing each first subtask.

In the embodiment of the present application, M is a positive integer greater than 0, for example, M may be 1, may also be 2, and may also be another numerical value.

In the embodiment of the present application, each of the plurality of subtasks may run on different devices, respectively; some of the multiple subtasks may run on the same device, and the remaining other subtasks may run on other devices, respectively.

Step S304, the first master device sends the plurality of first subtasks to corresponding devices for execution.

In the embodiment of the application, after the first master device obtains the device for executing each subtask by screening from the multiple devices, the first master device sends the multiple subtasks to the corresponding device for execution, so that the multiple devices can jointly complete one cooperative task.

In the embodiment of the application, the master device determines the device with better performance in the cooperative system as the device capable of executing the cooperative task, so that the situation that the subtask is assigned to the device with poor performance for execution can be avoided, cooperative work among multiple devices can be ensured, and the execution progress of the cooperative task is improved.

Based on the application scenario shown in fig. 2, the multiple devices include multiple master devices and multiple slave devices, and for convenience of understanding, how to construct a collaboration system formed by the multiple devices (multiple master devices and multiple slave devices) in the embodiment of the present application is described below.

In the embodiment of the present application, the cooperative system includes two layers of topology structures, and first, decentralized cooperation is performed between the master device and the master device, that is, each master device in the plurality of master devices may respond to a cooperative task initiated by a user, decompose the cooperative task, schedule a plurality of sub-tasks obtained by decomposition, and manage devices included in the cooperative system; secondly, the master device and the slave device cooperate with each other in a centralized manner, that is, the slave device can be directly mounted on the master device, and then, in this case, the slave device can be considered as a peripheral of the master device.

In the embodiment of the present application, the plurality of slave devices are configured to respond to the cooperative task initiated by the master device, and may report the running state of each slave device to the master device. Then, the master device may determine whether each slave device is abnormal according to the running state information reported by each slave device, and when the slave device (for example, the first slave device) is abnormal, the master device may send the device clearing information to the first slave device. Here, the clear device information is used to clear the slave device from the cooperative system, and in this case, the master device updates the device resource information in the cooperative system, that is, deletes the device resource information of the first slave device. It is understood that if the operation state of the master device in the cooperative system is abnormal, the master device may exit the cooperative system.

It should also be understood that, in the case where another slave device (or another master device) is newly added to the cooperative system, the master device adds the device resource information of the newly added slave device (or the device resource information of the newly added master device) to the cooperative system.

In this embodiment, the master device may send networking information to a plurality of slave devices, and may also send networking information to other master devices. The networking information may be broadcast information sent by the master device to the master device, or may be broadcast information sent by the master device to the slave device.

In one possible implementation, a master device may send networking information to multiple slave devices. For example, as shown in fig. 2, devices T1, T2, T3, and T4 are master devices, and devices T5, T6, and T7 are slave devices. For the master device T2, the master device T2 may transmit networking information to the slave device T7, and the slave device T7, after receiving the networking information transmitted by the master device T2, may transmit networking confirmation information to the master device to confirm that the slave device T7 joins the cooperative system if the slave device T7 determines to join the cooperative system. Then, in this case, it can be considered that the slave T7 is directly mounted on the master T2. The slave T7 is a peripheral mounted on the master T2. It will be appreciated that the host device may manage and connect peripherals mounted to the device.

Similarly, for the master device T4, the master device T4 may respectively send networking information to a plurality of slave devices (T5 and T6), and after each slave device receives the networking information sent by the master device, if the slave device determines to join the cooperative system, the slave device may send the networking information to the master device to confirm that the slave device joins the cooperative system. Then, in this case, it can be considered that the slave devices T5 and T6 are mounted on the master device T4. For the master T4, the slaves T5 and T6 are peripherals mounted on their own. It can be understood that the master device may manage and connect the peripheral device mounted on the device, and may also obtain device resource information of the slave device mounted on the master device.

In some implementations, the collaboration system may also support user configuration, mounting a slave device to a specific master device.

Based on the centralized coordination topology structure between the master device and the slave device in the coordination system, a decentralized coordination topology structure between the master device and the slave device in the coordination system is constructed. Taking the master devices T1, T2 of the plurality of master devices as an example, the master device T1 transmits networking information to the master device T2, and the master device T2, after receiving the networking information transmitted by the master device T1, may transmit networking confirmation information to the master device T1 to confirm that the master device T2 joins the cooperative system if the master device T2 determines to join the cooperative system, so that the cooperative system may be configured.

It should be noted that the execution sequence for constructing the two-layer topology described above is only an example and should not be construed as a limitation. For example, a decentralized cooperative structure between the master device and the master device may be constructed first, and then a centralized cooperative structure between the master device and the slave device may be constructed.

In this embodiment of the present application, after networking is successful, any one of the plurality of master devices may abstract, classify, and quantify service skills of all devices in the collaboration system, so as to obtain device resource information of all devices in the collaboration system. Here, taking a first master device in the cooperative system (the first master device is any one master device in the cooperative system) as an example, the first master device stores first device resource information, the first device resource information includes device resource information of a slave device mounted on a first master device and device resources of the first master device and second device resource information obtained through sharing between a plurality of master devices, the second device resource information includes device resource information of devices other than the first master device and the slave devices on the first master device in the cooperative system, that is, each master device in the collaboration system stores first device resource information, where the device resource information may include service skills owned by each device and evaluation information corresponding to the service skills, and may also include comprehensive evaluation information of the devices, and may also include health evaluation information of each device.

It should be understood that in the case of a single collaborative task, a user may proceed on any one master device to control other master devices and other slave devices. Under the condition that different users initiate a plurality of different cooperative tasks, different users can initiate the cooperative tasks on different main devices, so that multiple users can execute the plurality of different cooperative tasks more conveniently and quickly through the cooperative system.

It should also be understood that, in practical applications, multiple devices (multiple master devices and multiple slave devices) in the same local area network may be networked in wifi, bluetooth, or the like, so as to obtain a collaboration system.

In one possible implementation, any one master device in the collaborative system may communicate directly with a slave device in the collaborative system. For example, the collaboration system includes a first master device and a second master device, where the second master device has a first slave device mounted thereon, and the first master device may directly allocate the first subtask to the first slave device mounted on the second master device.

In one possible implementation manner, the master device in the cooperative system may forward the subtasks allocated by other master devices to the slave device mounted on the master device. For example, the collaboration system includes a first master device and a second master device, where the second master device is mounted with a first slave device, and the second master device may receive a subtask sent by the first master device, and then forward the subtask to the first slave device for execution.

Based on the cooperative system shown in fig. 2, which includes a plurality of master devices and one or more slave devices, where the plurality of master devices each store resource information of a first device in the cooperative system, please refer to fig. 5, which is a flowchart of a method for cooperative work provided in an embodiment of the present application, the method shown in fig. 5 may be executed by a cooperative device, and the method may include, but is not limited to, steps S500 to S504, which are described in detail below:

step S500, a first main device receives input operation of a first user, generates a first cooperative task according to the input operation, and decomposes the cooperative task into a plurality of first subtasks; the first master device is any one of the plurality of master devices.

In an embodiment of the present application, each of the plurality of master devices may respond to a collaborative task initiated by a user. And then decomposing the cooperative task, so that a plurality of subtasks can be obtained.

Step S502, the first master device determines, according to the first device resource information, a device corresponding to each first subtask to execute from the multiple devices.

In this embodiment, the first master device may obtain a candidate device list capable of performing each first subtask according to a service skill required when each first subtask is performed, and then select a device corresponding to each first subtask from the candidate devices. For example, taking the cooperative task as "video screen projection" as an example, the device decomposes the cooperative task to obtain 3 subtasks. Specifically, the 3 subtasks are respectively: and recording a video, playing the video and playing the audio. The first main device determines a candidate device list which can execute the 3 subtasks respectively in the first device resource information, wherein a video can be recorded by a camera, a mobile phone and a portable notebook, a video can be played by a mobile phone and a common display screen, and an audio can be played by a mobile phone and a common sound box. Then, the first host device selects a corresponding device from the devices capable of performing the 3 subtasks, for example, a camera for recording video, a normal display screen for playing video, and a normal speaker for audio playing. For another example, a mobile phone is used for recording video, a mobile phone is used for playing video, and a common speaker is used for audio playing.

In the embodiment of the application, the first master device may obtain a candidate device list capable of performing each first subtask according to a service skill required when each first subtask is performed, and then, select a device corresponding to the plurality of subtasks from the candidate device list in combination with the user preference information. In particular, user preference information may be determined from historical collaborative tasks initiated by a user. For example, taking the cooperative task as "video screen projection" as an example, the device decomposes the cooperative task to obtain 3 subtasks. Specifically, the 3 subtasks are respectively: and recording a video, playing the video and playing the audio. The first main device determines a candidate device list which can execute the 3 subtasks respectively in the first device resource information, wherein a video can be recorded by a camera, a mobile phone and a portable notebook, a video can be played by a mobile phone and a common display screen, and an audio can be played by a mobile phone and a common sound box. Then, the first host device selects, in combination with the user preference information, a device corresponding to the 3 subtasks from the candidate device list, where the user preference information specifically includes that the user tends to select a mobile phone to record a video, the user tends to select a normal display screen to play the video, and the user tends to select a normal speaker to play an audio, and in this case, the first host device determines that the mobile phone is used to record the video, the normal display screen is used to play the video, and the normal speaker is used to play the audio.

In this embodiment of the application, to avoid a problem of low execution efficiency caused by the first main device allocating a sub-task to a device with poor performance for execution, the first computer device may select, according to the first device resource information, a device corresponding to each sub-task from devices capable of executing the sub-task, and specifically, for the preferred implementation, reference is made to relevant descriptions in the foregoing embodiments, and details are not repeated here.

Step S504, the first master device sends the plurality of first subtasks to the corresponding devices for execution.

In the embodiment of the application, after the first main device determines the device executing each subtask according to the first device resource information, the first main device sends the plurality of subtasks to the corresponding device for execution, so that the plurality of devices can jointly complete the cooperative task.

For example, the collaboration system comprises a mobile phone T1, a smart sound box T2, a smart sound box T3, a large display screen T4 and a high-definition camera T5. The mobile phone T1, the intelligent sound box T2, the intelligent sound box T3 and the large display screen T4 are main devices, the high-definition camera T5 is a slave device, and the high-definition camera T5 is mounted on the large display screen T4. The cooperative system is used for responding to a cooperative task of 'video screen projection', the cooperative task can be decomposed into a subtask 1 for recording a video, a subtask 2 for playing a video and a subtask 3 for playing an audio, the mobile phone T1 determines that the high-definition camera T5 is used for recording the video according to the first equipment resource information, the large display screen T4 is used for playing the video, and the smart sound box T2 is used for playing the audio.

In some implementation manners, the cell phone T1 directly sends the video recorded by the subtask 1 to the high-definition camera T5 for execution, the cell phone T1 directly sends the video played by the subtask 2 to the large display screen T4 for execution, and the cell phone T1 directly sends the audio played by the subtask 3 to the smart sound box T2 for execution, so that the cooperative task can be completed.

In some implementation manners, the mobile phone T1 sends the video recorded by the subtask 1 to the large display screen T4, and then sends the video recorded by the subtask 1 to the high-definition camera T5 through the large display screen T4 for execution, the mobile phone T1 sends the video played by the subtask 2 directly to the large display screen T4 for execution, and the mobile phone T1 sends the audio played by the subtask 3 directly to the smart speaker T2 for execution, so that the cooperative task can be completed.

How to resolve the coordination conflict in the embodiment of the present application is specifically described below with reference to a schematic flow chart of the method shown in fig. 6, where the coordination conflict is expressed as: the plurality of main devices include a first main device and a second main device, and there is a difference between the first main device sending the plurality of first subtasks to the corresponding devices according to the first cooperative task and the second main device sending the plurality of second subtasks to the corresponding devices according to the second cooperative task. The method may include steps S600-S602, which are described in detail below:

step S600, when the determined device executing the plurality of first sub tasks and the determined device executing the plurality of second sub tasks are the same device, the first master device sends adjustment information to the second master device, where the adjustment information is used to instruct the second master device to adjust the device executing the plurality of second sub tasks.

And step S602, the second main device adjusts the device executing the second subtask according to the adjustment information.

In this embodiment of the present application, a priority order of the cooperative tasks initiated by each master device is preset in the cooperative system, for example, in the cooperative system shown in fig. 2, the priority order of the cooperative tasks initiated by the plurality of master devices from high to low may be as follows: the priority order of the cooperative tasks initiated in the master device T1 > the priority order of the cooperative tasks initiated in the master device T2 > the priority order of the cooperative tasks initiated in the master device 3 > the priority order of the cooperative tasks initiated in the master device 4 > the priority order of the cooperative tasks initiated in the master device 5. In this case, taking the example that the master device includes a first master device and a second master device, when a conflict occurs between the first master device sending the plurality of first subtasks to the corresponding device according to the first cooperative task and the second master device sending the plurality of second subtasks to the corresponding device according to the second cooperative task, the first master device may send adjustment information to the second master device, for example, the adjustment information may include a specific distribution condition of the devices that generate the conflict, and after the second master device receives the adjustment information sent by the first master device, the second master device may adjust the device that executes the second subtask according to the adjustment information, so that the plurality of master devices respond to the plurality of different cooperative tasks at the same time, and the use experience of the user may be improved.

In this embodiment of the present application, for example, the multiple master devices include a first master device and a second master device, where a time of the cooperative task initiated by the second master device is before a time of the cooperative task initiated by the first master device. In a case where a conflict occurs between the first master device sending the plurality of first subtasks to the corresponding devices according to the first cooperative task and the second master device sending the plurality of second subtasks to the corresponding devices according to the second cooperative task, since the devices corresponding to the two different cooperative tasks are the same, the priority order of the cooperative task initiated by each master device in the plurality of master devices is combined to preferentially respond to the cooperative task initiated by the first master device, in this case, the first master device may send adjustment information to the second master device, for example, the adjustment information includes a specific distribution situation of the devices that generate the conflict, and after the second master device receives the adjustment information sent by the first master device, the second master device may adjust the devices that execute the second subtasks according to the adjustment information, so that the plurality of master devices simultaneously respond to the plurality of different cooperative tasks, the use experience of the user can be improved.

In this embodiment of the present application, for example, the multiple master devices include a first master device and a second master device, where a cooperative task initiated by the second master device precedes a cooperative task initiated by the first master device, and in this case, a device included in the cooperative system preferentially responds to the cooperative task initiated by the second master device. The collaboration system will then respond to the collaboration task initiated by the first master device. It can be understood that each master device can respond to the cooperative task initiated by different users, so as to improve the use experience of the users.

In this embodiment, take an example that a plurality of masters includes a first master and a second master, where a cooperative task initiated by the second master precedes a cooperative task initiated by the first master (for a slave, a time allocated by the second master to execute a subtask is received by the slave before a time allocated by the first master to execute a subtask is received by the slave), and both masters allocate the subtasks to the slave 1, for example, the first master allocates the subtask 1 to the slave 1, and the second master allocates the subtask 2 to the slave 1, in which case, the slave 1 responds to the subtask 2 allocated by the second master, and then sends feedback information that the subtask 1 cannot be executed to the first master, so that the first master reallocates the subtask 1.

In the embodiment of the present application, the first device resource information may further include a use state of the service skill, where the use state of the service skill may include an available state and an unavailable state. Taking an example that the multiple master devices include a first master device and a second master device, wherein the time of the cooperative task initiated by the second master device is before the cooperative task initiated by the first master device. In combination with the above-described priority order of the cooperative task initiated by each of the multiple master devices, preferentially responding to the cooperative task initiated by the first master device, and at the same time, updating the device resource information by the first master device, specifically, marking the state of the device corresponding to the multiple first subtasks to be an unavailable state by the first master device, then sending the updated device resource information to the second master device by the first master device, and then sending the multiple second subtasks to the corresponding device in the remaining available devices when the second master device responds to the second cooperative task. It will be appreciated that this implementation may avoid a situation where respective devices performing different collaborative tasks conflict.
