It is to be understood that the first communication connection is at least a communication connection whose transmission performance satisfies the device information transmission condition. The first communication connection may include, but is not limited to: a bluetooth connection, a Near Field Communication (NFC) connection, or an Ultra Wide Band (UWB) connection.

In this embodiment, the electronic device different from the content provider may actively send the device information of the target output device obtained by the electronic device to the content provider through the first communication connection.

Of course, an electronic device different from the content provider may be triggered by the content provider to transmit the device information to the content provider through the first communication connection. The content provider triggers may be, but not limited to: sending an acquisition instruction to electronic equipment different from a content provider; or, a search instruction is issued so that the electronic device, which can obtain the search instruction and obtain the device information of the target output device, transmits the device information to the content providing terminal.

Step S203, the content provider establishes a second communication connection with the target output device based on at least the device information, so that the content provider outputs the target content to the target object based on the second communication connection.

Wherein the first communication connection may be different from the second communication connection. Specifically, a communication connection whose transfer performance satisfies the target content transfer condition may be determined as the second communication connection. The transmission performance satisfies the target content transmission condition, and may include, but is not limited to: the transmission speed is faster than the transmission speed of the first communication connection and/or the transmission range is larger than the transmission range of the first communication connection.

The second communication connection may include, but is not limited to: a WiFi direct connection or a push connection.

In this embodiment, the content providing end establishes the second communication connection with the target output device based on at least the device information, which may include but is not limited to:

s2031, respective identification information of the content providing terminal and the target output device is shared to the other side through the electronic device, so that the content providing terminal and the target output device establish a second communication connection based on the identification information.

In this embodiment, the electronic device may include, but is not limited to: the remote controller, or the mobile phone, or the user wearing equipment.

The identification information of the content provider may include, but is not limited to: device model information of the content provider, and/or a bluetooth MAC (media access control) address of the content provider.

Accordingly, the identification information of the target output device may include, but is not limited to: device model information of the target output device, and/or a bluetooth MAC address of the target output device.

Sharing the respective identification information of the content provider and the target output device to each other through the electronic device may include:

s20311, the electronic device establishes communication connections with the content provider and the target output device, respectively, and shares the identification information of the content provider to the target output device, and shares the identification information of the target output device to the content provider.

Of course, the respective identification information of the content provider and the target output apparatus may be shared to the other party using the first wireless communication section and the second wireless communication section in addition to the electronic apparatus. The first wireless communication part is connected with the content providing end in a communication mode, the second wireless communication part is connected with the target output equipment in a communication mode, and the content providing end can be connected with the main output equipment through a data line.

Accordingly, sharing the respective identification information of the content provider and the target output device to the other party by the electronic device may include:

s20312, the electronic device triggers the second wireless communication component to establish a first communication connection with the content provider by establishing a communication connection with the second wireless communication component, and the second wireless communication component sends the identification information to the content provider through the first communication connection.

In this embodiment, the second wireless communication component may directly establish the first communication connection with the content providing end, or may establish the first communication connection with the first wireless communication component, so as to perform the communication connection with the content providing end through the first wireless communication component.

S20313, the content provider sends its identification information to the second wireless communication unit through the first communication connection.

Wherein the second wireless communication section and the content providing terminal can establish the second communication connection therebetween based on the identification information.

In this embodiment, the first wireless communication section may include, but is not limited to: a first dongle; the second wireless communication means may include, but is not limited to: the second dongle. The first dongle or the second dongle is a plug-in unit, and can be connected with the content providing terminal or the target output device through a USB interface in a plug-in mode, and can also be connected with the content providing terminal or the target output device through a hanging part in a hanging mode through WIFI. The dongle can support data and signaling transceiving under a WiFi protocol and a Bluetooth protocol. For example, as shown in fig. 4, if the electronic device is a remote controller, the content providing end is an HEC, the remote controller establishes a communication connection with the second dongle1, determines that the output device 1 connected to the second dongle1 is a target output device, triggers the second dongle1 to establish a first communication connection with the HEC, the second dongle1 sends its identification information to the HEC through the first communication connection, the HEC sends its identification information to the second dongle1 through the first communication connection, the second dongle1 and the HEC may establish a second communication connection between the two devices based on the identification information, the HEC may send the target content to the second dongle1 through the second communication connection, the second dongle1 forwards the target content to the output device 1, and the output device 1 outputs the target content.

It should be noted that the HEC may directly output the content to the main output device for output. Alternatively, the HEC may be triggered by a remote control to output content to the master output device. For example, as shown in fig. 5, the remote controller establishes a communication connection with the first dongle, and determines that the main output device connected to the HEC is the target output device, and the HEC may output the target content to the main output device without performing identification information interaction between the HEC and the main output device.

It will be appreciated that the target object may interact with each display device and the HEC via a single remote control by acting on the remote control such that the remote control moves with the target object.

In this embodiment, the content providing end establishes the second communication connection with the target output device based on at least the device information, and may also include but is not limited to:

s2032, respectively sharing the identification information and the port information of the content providing terminal and the target output device to each other through the electronic device, so that the content providing terminal and the target output device establish a second communication connection based on the identification information and the port information.

In this embodiment, the port information may be determined based on the target communication protocol. The target communication protocol may be determined by the content provider and the target output device through negotiation of the electronic device.

It should be noted that the target communication protocol may be a webRTC (WebReal-time communication) protocol for web instant messaging, and the like. The identification information and the port information negotiated based on the target communication protocol are protocol authentication information for realizing the target communication protocol.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the target communication protocol may also be a webRTC protocol applied in a local area network, that is, after the content provider and the target output device in the same local area network share identification information and port information through the electronic device, the content provider and the target output device establish a transmission channel for transmitting image data, audio data, or video data, that is, a second communication connection, between the content provider and the target output device based on the identification information and the port information.

In this step, the manner of sharing the identification information and the port information may refer to the related description of the manner of sharing the identification information in step S2031, and is not described herein again.

When the identification information and the port information of the content provider and the target output device are forwarded by an electronic device (for example, a remote controller), the identification information and the port information may be encrypted by the electronic device based on a first key and then transmitted, so as to improve security, that is, when the first identification information and the port information are forwarded by the electronic device, the first key may be a predetermined pin (personal identification number) code composed of one or more characters.

In this embodiment, the implementation process of the content providing end establishing the second communication connection with the target output device based on at least the device information may further include:

the electronic equipment shares encryption information between the content providing end and the target output equipment, the encryption information is obtained by encrypting a second key through the first key, and the second key is used for encrypting the target content.

It can be understood that the second key is encrypted by the first key to obtain the encrypted information, so that the risk of leakage of the second key can be reduced, the risk of leakage of the target content can be further reduced, and the security of target content sharing can be ensured.

Corresponding to the above-mentioned implementation in which the content provider and the target output device establish the second communication connection therebetween based on the identification information and the port information, outputting the target content to the target object based on the communication connection may include:

s2033, first information of the target content is obtained, wherein the first information comprises attribute information and/or content information of the target content.

The attribute information of the target content may include: information characterizing the type of the target content (e.g., information characterizing the type of the target content as a video type or information characterizing the type of the target content as an audio type), or information characterizing the interactive feedback property of the target content, or information characterizing the output criticality of the target content (e.g., if the target content is warning information or an important notification, the output criticality of the target content is high).

The content information of the target content may include, but is not limited to: content information of the conference content; or, content information of live broadcast content; or, content information of the chat content. The content information of the target content may further include: user engagement status information associated with the targeted content.

S2034, based on the first information, the content providing terminal establishes a second communication connection with the unique or non-unique target output device, so as to output the target content to the target object at the same position or different positions.

Specifically, the target content may be determined based on the first information, and the content providing terminal may establish a second communication connection with a unique or non-unique target output device based on the first information to output the target content to a target object at the same location or a different location.

Now, the steps S2034 and S2034 are described with reference to a specific example, for example, if the first information for obtaining the target content includes information that characterizes the target content and is of a video type and content information of conference content, in order to ensure that each target object can participate in and obtain the target content of the video type, it is necessary to establish a second communication connection between the content providing end and a target output device that is not unique, and output the target content to the target objects located at different positions;

or, if the first information of the target content includes information for ensuring that the type of the target content is an audio type and content information of conference content, and it can be determined based on the first information that the target content of the audio type is within a set range, and it can be ensured that all target objects which are not unique can acquire the target content through the unique target output device, the content providing end and the unique target output device establish a second communication connection based on the first information, and output the target content to the target objects located at different positions. Of course, outputting the target content to the target object based on the communication connection may also include:

s2035, obtaining first information of the target content, where the first information includes attribute information and/or content information of the target content.

S2036, obtaining third information of the target output device, wherein the third information represents the identity of the target object using the target output device.

In this embodiment, in a case where the respective identification information of the content provider and the target output device is shared to the other party by the electronic device, or the respective identification information and the port information of the content provider and the target output device are shared to the other party by the electronic device, the third information of the electronic device may be determined as the third information of the target output device, and the third information of the electronic device represents the identity of a target object using the electronic device (e.g., a remote controller).

Obtaining the third information of the electronic device may include, but is not limited to:

S2037, based on the first information and the third information, the content providing terminal establishes a second communication connection with the unique or non-unique target output device, so as to output the target content to the target object at the same position or different positions.

In this embodiment, the target content may be, but is not limited to, determined based on the first information, and the history content may be, but is not limited to, determined based on the third information, the content providing side is caused to establish the second communication connection with the unique or non-unique target output device based on the first information, and output the target content to the target output device, and the content providing side is caused to establish the second communication connection with the unique or non-unique history output device based on the third information, and output the history content to the history output device. For example, by outputting the target content to the target output device and outputting the history content to the history output device, in the case where the target object moves from the target output device to the history output device, the history content can be output to the target object through the history output device, and seamless switching of outputting different contents to the target object can be realized.

Of course, the target content may also be determined based on, but not limited to, the first information and the third information, and the content providing end is enabled to establish a second communication connection with the unique or non-unique target output device based on the first information and the third information to output the target content to the target object at the same location or a different location. For example, if the first information includes: the type of the representation target content is information of a video type and content information of live broadcast content, live broadcast content can be determined from a live broadcast list based on the first information, live broadcast content matched with the identity of a target object using the target output equipment is obtained from the live broadcast content based on third information, and the live broadcast content matched with the identity of the target object using the target output equipment is output to the target object at the same position or different positions.

Corresponding to the above embodiment in which the content provider and the target output device establish the second communication connection therebetween based on the identification information and the port information, outputting the target content to the target object based on the communication connection may also include:

s2038, second information is obtained, and the second information is used for representing environment parameters in the target environment and/or behavior information of each object.
