Detailed Description
The scheme of the embodiment of the application is suitable for establishing the pairing relation for constructing the interaction channel between different electronic devices, and reduces the pairing complexity between the electronic devices.
The following description of the embodiments of the present application will be made clearly and fully with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which it is evident that the embodiments described are only some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present application. All other embodiments, which can be made by one of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments herein without undue burden, are within the scope of the present application.
Fig. 1 is a schematic flow chart of a device pairing method according to an embodiment of the present application, where in order to distinguish an electronic device from other electronic devices that establish an interaction channel with the electronic device and establish a pairing relationship, the electronic device is referred to as a first electronic device. The first electronic device may be a tablet, a mobile phone, a notebook computer, or the like, which is not limited thereto.
The method of the embodiment can comprise the following steps:
s101, determining a second electronic device connected with the first electronic device through a first interaction channel.
In the application, the interaction channel established between two electronic devices may also be referred to as a device interconnection channel or a device direct connection channel, which refers to an interaction channel between two electronic devices capable of directly transmitting data without using a third party device to forward data.
For example, the interaction channel may be a direct channel established between two electronic devices based on Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity ) direct connection, a P2P direct channel established based on a P2P (peer-to-peer) technology, or a direct channel established by means of a wireless network or the same local area network, etc., which is not limited.
Through the interaction channel between the two electronic devices, the operations such as file transmission, screen projection, mutual control and the like can be realized between the two electronic devices, and the method is not limited.
For convenience of distinction, the interaction channel established between the first electronic device and the second electronic device is referred to as a first interaction channel, and the interaction channel established between the subsequent second electronic device and the third electronic device is referred to as a second interaction channel.
It is understood that after the first electronic device establishes the first interaction channel with the second electronic device, the first electronic device may determine the second electronic device connected to the first electronic device through the first interaction channel.
S102, determining at least one third electronic device connected with the second electronic device through a second interaction channel.
In the application, on the premise that the second electronic device and the third electronic device establish a second interaction channel, the first electronic device can determine the third electronic device connected by the second electronic device through the second interaction channel.
For example, on the premise that the first electronic device and the second electronic device establish a first interaction channel, the first electronic device may request, through the first interaction channel, device information that the second electronic device is connected through the interaction channel, to the second electronic device, so as to determine information of each third electronic device that the second electronic device is connected through the second interaction channel.
For another example, on the premise that the second electronic device and the third electronic device establish a second interaction channel and the second electronic device and the first electronic device also establish a first interaction channel, the second electronic device may actively report information of the third electronic device connected by the second electronic device through the second interaction channel to the first electronic device through the first interaction channel, so that the first electronic device confirms each third electronic device connected by the second electronic device through the second interaction channel.
S103, based on the second electronic device, a pairing relation between the first electronic device and the third electronic device is established.
The pairing relationship between the first electronic device and the third electronic device is used for establishing a third interaction channel between the first electronic device and the third electronic device.
The third interaction channel which can be established based on the pairing relationship between the first electronic device and the third electronic device is also the device interconnection channel or the device direct connection channel.
It is understood that the third interaction channel may be the same type of interaction channel as the first interaction channel and the second interaction channel, or may be a different type of interaction channel, which is not limited.
It can be understood that the first electronic device realizes pairing between the first electronic device and the third electronic device through the second electronic device, and basically, the pairing between the first electronic device and the third electronic device connected with the second electronic device can be completed by means of the second electronic device which has an interaction channel established with the first electronic device, so that a pairing relationship is established without manual operation by means of two-dimensional code scanning between the first electronic device and the third electronic device.
In the present application, any two electronic devices of the first electronic device, the second electronic device, and the third electronic device may be the same type of electronic device, or may be different types of electronic devices, which is not limited.
It can be known from the above that, in the embodiment of the present application, on the premise that the first electronic device and the second electronic device establish the first interaction channel, the first electronic device may determine at least one third electronic device connected to the second electronic device through the second interaction channel, and on this basis, the first electronic device may establish a pairing relationship between the first electronic device and the third electronic device through the second electronic device, so that a user does not need to manually complete pairing between the first electronic device and the third electronic device by scanning the two-dimensional code, and complexity of pairing between different electronic devices is reduced.
The pairing between the first electronic device and the third electronic device connected with the second electronic device can be achieved through various specific implementations, for example, the first electronic device can achieve information interaction required by pairing through the first interaction channel and the second interaction channel between the second electronic device and the third electronic device, and related pairing is completed.
For ease of understanding, the device pairing method of the present application is described below by taking an implementation as an example.
As shown in fig. 2, which shows a further flowchart of a device pairing method provided in an embodiment of the present application, the method of the present embodiment is applied to a first electronic device, and the method of the present embodiment may include:
s201, determining a second electronic device connected with the first electronic device through a first interaction channel.
S202, determining at least one third electronic device connected with the second electronic device through a second interaction channel.
The above two steps may be referred to related descriptions of other embodiments of the present application, and are not described herein.
In one possible implementation manner, in order to enable the first electronic device to distinguish each third electronic device connected to the second electronic device, the first electronic device may determine, through the second electronic device, a device identifier of each third electronic device connected to the second electronic device through the second interaction channel.
S203, for each third electronic device, generating target pairing information between the first electronic device and the third electronic device.
The target pairing information is information which is generated by the first electronic device for the third electronic device and used for constructing a pairing relation. The target pairing information generated by the first electronic device is different for different third electronic devices.
In one possible implementation, the target pairing information includes at least a communication key between the first electronic device and the third electronic device. The communication key is used by the first electronic device to confirm that the third electronic device is a trusted electronic device. Similarly, after the third electronic device establishes a pairing relationship with the first electronic device, the third electronic device may also identify the first electronic device as a trusted communication device based on the communication key.
For example, an interaction channel can be established between the first electronic device and the third electronic device based on the communication key and data transmission can be performed based on the interaction channel.
Of course, the target pairing information may further include: the name of the first electronic device, other information, etc., are not limited thereto.
And S204, transmitting the target pairing information to the third electronic device based on the second electronic device so that the first electronic device and the third electronic device have a pairing relation based on the target pairing information.
For example, the first electronic device may instruct the second electronic device to transmit target pairing information to the third electronic device.
It can be understood that, because the first interaction channel is established between the first electronic device and the second electronic device, the first electronic device may transmit the target pairing information to the second electronic device through the first interaction channel, so that the second electronic device may send the target pairing information to the third electronic device through the second interaction channel.
For example, the first electronic device sends an information forwarding request to the second electronic device through the first interaction channel, where the information forwarding request carries the target pairing information and the device identifier of the third electronic device. Correspondingly, the second electronic equipment responds to the information forwarding request, and forwards the target pairing information to the corresponding third electronic equipment according to the equipment identification of the third electronic equipment.
As described above, the pairing relationship between the first electronic device and the third electronic device is used to establish a third interaction channel between the first electronic device and the third electronic device.
After the third electronic device receives the target pairing information, the target pairing information can be stored as the pairing information of the first electronic device and the second electronic device, so that the pairing relationship between the first electronic device and the second electronic device is established.
In one possible implementation manner, in order to enable the third electronic device to learn the first electronic device corresponding to the target pairing information, the first electronic device may further transmit, based on the second electronic device, the device identifier of the first electronic device and the communication key to the third electronic device together, so that a pairing relationship based on the communication key exists between the first electronic device and the third electronic device.
Accordingly, the third electronic device may store the device identification of the first electronic device in association with the communication key to establish a pairing relationship between the third electronic device and the first electronic device.
Of course, in practical application, after the first electronic device sends the target pairing information (such as the communication key) to the second electronic device, the second electronic device can determine the information of the sender of the target pairing information, that is, can determine the device identifier of the first electronic device. Based on this, the first electronic device may only send the target pairing information to the second electronic device, and the second electronic device may send the target pairing information and the device identifier of the first electronic device to the third electronic device.
It may be appreciated that, in order to enable the first electronic device to confirm that the third electronic device is an electronic device paired with the first electronic device based on the target pairing information, the first electronic device may further store the target pairing information between the first electronic device and the third electronic device after generating the target pairing information or after the step S204.
For example, the first electronic device may store the device identification of the third electronic device in association with the target pairing information to complete pairing between the first electronic device and the third electronic device.
It can be appreciated that in any embodiment of the present application, after the first electronic device sends the target pairing information to the third electronic device through the second electronic device, a pairing relationship based on the target pairing information is established between the first electronic device and the third electronic device. On the basis, the first electronic device and the third electronic device can construct an interaction channel based on the target pairing information.
In practical application, an interaction channel can be constructed between the first electronic device and the third electronic device after the pairing relationship is established; or the first electronic device (or the third electronic device) can construct the interaction channel with the third electronic device (or the first electronic device) based on the target pairing information under the condition that the subsequent user needs to construct the interaction channel between the first electronic device and the second electronic device.
The method for establishing the third interaction channel between the first electronic device and the third electronic device based on the target pairing information may also have multiple possibilities, which is not limited in this application.
To facilitate understanding, one possible scenario is illustrated:
taking the case that the first electronic device side actively establishes an interaction channel with the third electronic device side, and the target pairing information at least comprises a communication key as an example:
The first electronic device may scan for the third electronic device via bluetooth, e.g. scan for an electronic device whose device identifier is the device identifier of the third electronic device. On the basis, the first electronic device obtains the current IP address and port number of the third electronic device through Bluetooth communication, the first electronic device can send a channel establishment request encrypted by the communication key to the third electronic device based on the IP address and the port number, the third electronic device decrypts the communication establishment request by using the stored communication key corresponding to the first electronic device, and if decryption is successful, a third interaction channel can be established between the first electronic device and the third electronic device.
Of course, this is merely for ease of understanding, and a way of establishing the interaction channel is described as an example, and there is no limitation in this application as to how and when the third interaction channel based on the target pairing information is established between the first electronic device and the third electronic device.
In one possible implementation manner, in order to timely and conveniently construct the third interaction channel between the first electronic device and the third electronic device after the pairing relationship is established between the first electronic device and the third electronic device, before the first electronic device transmits the target pairing information to the third electronic device based on the second electronic device, the first electronic device may further determine an IP address and a port number of the first electronic device.
Correspondingly, while or after the first electronic device transmits the target pairing information to the third electronic device, the first electronic device may further transmit the IP address and the port number of the first electronic device to the third electronic device based on the second electronic device, so that the third electronic device may establish a third interaction channel with the first electronic device based on the pairing relationship.
It can be understood that, because the first electronic device sends the target pairing information to the third electronic device and simultaneously or later sends the IP address and the port number of the first electronic device to the third electronic device, after the third electronic device obtains the target pairing information with the first electronic device, if there is a need to establish an interaction channel with the first electronic device through the third electronic device, the third electronic device does not need to scan or acquire the IP address and the port number of the first electronic device through bluetooth or other wireless communication technologies, and the interaction channel can be established with the first electronic device directly based on the IP address and the port number of the first electronic device, so that not only can the establishment efficiency of the interaction channel be reduced, but also the resource consumption caused by multiple times of interaction data between the first electronic device and the second electronic device can be reduced.
It can be understood that, in the present application, the third interaction channel that can be established by the first electronic device and the third electronic device based on the target pairing information may be the same type of interaction channel as the first interaction channel and the second interaction channel, or may be a different type of interaction channel.
In one possible implementation, the first interaction channel is an interaction channel constructed based on first pairing information between the first electronic device and the second electronic device. Correspondingly, the second interaction channel is an interaction channel constructed based on second pairing information between the second electronic device and the third electronic device.
It is understood that the pairing relationship between the first electronic device and the second electronic device is established before the first interaction channel is established between the first electronic device and the second electronic device.
In the application, establishing a pairing relationship between the first electronic device and the second electronic device means that the first electronic device and the second electronic device both obtain first pairing information between the first electronic device and the second electronic device, where the first pairing information is information for establishing a first interaction channel.
It may be appreciated that the pairing relationship between the first electronic device and the second electronic device may be established historically, or may be established in order to establish the first interaction channel. Accordingly, the first interaction channel may be an interaction channel established for the first time between the first electronic device and the second electronic device based on the first pairing information, or may be an interaction channel established for the non-first time, which is not limited.
It will be appreciated that the first interconnection channel may be established by the first electronic device, or may be established by the second electronic device, which is not limited thereto.
In the present application, a pairing relationship is established between the first electronic device and the second electronic device, that is, a specific implementation process of specifically obtaining the first pairing information may have multiple possibilities, which is not limited in this application.
For example, the first electronic device may obtain the two-dimensional code including first pairing information between the first electronic device and the second electronic device by scanning the two-dimensional code generated by the second electronic device; or the first electronic equipment generates a two-dimensional code containing pairing information, and the second electronic equipment obtains the pairing information by scanning the two-dimensional code to complete pairing between the first electronic equipment and the second electronic equipment.
Taking the two-dimensional code which is generated by the first electronic device through scanning the second electronic device and contains the first pairing information as an example: the second electronic device may generate a two-dimensional code including first pairing information, where the first pairing information may include at least: the second electronic device is configured to pair with the first communication key and a unique identification of the second electronic device (e.g., a MAC address of the second electronic device, etc.). Based on the two-dimensional code, the first electronic device scans the two-dimensional code of the second electronic device, so that the first pairing information can be obtained, and the pairing with the second electronic device is completed by storing the first pairing information.
In most cases, if a pairing relationship is not established between the first electronic device and the second electronic device, and the user needs to establish an interaction channel between the first electronic device and the second electronic device, the user needs to scan the two-dimensional code generated by the second electronic device by using the first electronic device to complete pairing. Therefore, the two-dimensional code generated by the second electronic device may further include: the second electronic device is currently IP address and port number. Correspondingly, the first electronic device can initiate the establishment of the interaction channel to the second electronic device based on the IP address and the port number of the first electronic device and the first communication key, and the second electronic device agrees to establish the interaction channel and also stores the device identifier of the first electronic device, so that the interaction channel is established while the pairing is completed.
On the premise that the first electronic device and the second electronic device have established a pairing relationship, if the first electronic device (or the second electronic device) needs to establish an interaction channel with the second electronic device (or the first electronic device) again, the first electronic device (or the second electronic device) can obtain the current IP address and port number of the second electronic device (or the first electronic device) through wireless technology such as Bluetooth so as to establish the interaction channel again.
As another example, the first electronic device and the second electronic device may also be in a pairing relationship completed by the fourth electronic device by using the scheme of the present application.
Of course, the first electronic device and the second electronic device may also complete pairing in other manners, which is not limited in this application.
Similarly, the pairing relationship between the second electronic device and the third electronic device is already established before the second interaction channel is established, and the specific implementation manner of establishing the pairing relationship between the second electronic device and the third electronic device may refer to the manner of establishing the pairing relationship between the first electronic device and the second electronic device, which is not limited in particular.
It may be appreciated that, on the premise that the first interaction channel and the second interaction channel are both interaction channels established based on corresponding pairing information, the first electronic device may determine that the third electronic device to which the second electronic device is connected may be at least a third electronic device that determines that the second electronic device is paired and that has established the second interaction channel.
The following description is directed to a specific implementation.
Fig. 3 is a schematic flow chart of a device pairing method according to an embodiment of the present application, where the method may include:
S301, a first interconnection channel between the first electronic device and the second electronic device is established based on the paired first pairing information between the first electronic device and the second electronic device.
It may be appreciated that, in the case where the first electronic device establishes the first interaction channel with the second electronic device, the first electronic device may naturally determine the second electronic device to which the first interaction channel is connected.
The establishment of the first interaction channel may be initiated by the first electronic device or initiated by the second electronic device, which is not limited in the foregoing.
S302, obtaining a paired device list of the second electronic device through the first interaction channel.
Wherein the paired device list indicates that: at least one third electronic device connected to the second electronic device through a second interaction channel. The second interaction channel is an interaction channel constructed based on second pairing information between the second electronic device and the third electronic device.
For example, the paired device list may include: and the device identification of each third electronic device connected with the second electronic device through the second interaction channel.
It will be appreciated that in practical applications, there are many possibilities to obtain the paired device list.
For example, after the first electronic device confirms that the second electronic device is connected through the first interaction channel, the first electronic device may send a paired list request to the second electronic device, where the paired list request is used to request a paired device list of the second electronic device. Accordingly, the second electronic device returns the paired list to the first electronic device in response to the list request.
For another example, after the first electronic device establishes the first interaction channel with the second electronic device, the second electronic device may actively send its paired device list to the first electronic device through the first interaction channel.
In one possible implementation, to avoid pairing electronic devices that the user does not want to pair without the user's knowledge, the first electronic device may also output an active pairing reminder to prompt the user to confirm whether to initiate device pairing before obtaining the paired device list. Of course, the active pairing reminder may also indicate that there is information such as a device name and a device identifier of the second electronic device on which the automatic pairing depends, which is not limited.
Correspondingly, after the confirmation pairing indication aiming at the active pairing prompt is detected, a paired device list of the second electronic device is obtained through the first interaction channel. The confirmation pairing instruction indicates that the user confirms that the pairing of the first electronic device and other electronic devices is achieved based on the second electronic device.
S303, based on the second electronic device, a pairing relation between the first electronic device and the third electronic device is established.
The pairing relationship is used for establishing a third interaction channel between the first electronic device and the third electronic device.
This step S303 can be referred to in the description of the previous embodiment, and is not limited thereto.
In the embodiment of the application, when the second electronic device is paired with the first electronic device and the first interaction channel is established, and the second electronic device is paired with the third electronic device and the second interaction channel is established, the first electronic device can be paired with the third electronic device based on the second electronic device without manually establishing the pairing between the first electronic device and the third electronic device.
Based on the method, under the condition that the user has a plurality of electronic devices, after pairing and interaction channels are established between one electronic device and other electronic devices, the other electronic devices of the user can be respectively paired with the devices of the user through the electronic devices, so that the pairing complexity between the electronic devices is greatly improved.
Illustrating:
taking the example that the user has 10 electronic devices, assume that 5 electronic devices of the user are respectively the electronic device 1 to the electronic device 5.
If the pairing is completed in a traditional pairing mode, two-dimension codes of any two electronic devices need to be scanned once, and then the code scanning pairing between every two electronic devices in 5 electronic devices is completed, so that a user is required to scan the two-dimension codes for 10 times. Of course, when the number of electronic devices that the user has is larger, the number of times of scanning the two-dimensional code is larger, for example, if the user has 6 electronic devices, the user is required to scan 16 two-dimensional codes after pairing between the 6 electronic devices is completed.
In the embodiment of the application, only the two-dimensional codes generated by the other four electronic devices are required to be scanned by the device 1, so that the pairing of the electronic device 1 with the electronic device 2, the electronic device 3, the electronic device 4 and the electronic device 5 is realized, and the establishment of the interaction channel is completed. On the basis, by using the scheme of the application, the electronic device 2 can establish pairing with the electronic device 3, the electronic device 4 and the electronic device 5 through the electronic device 1, and similarly, the electronic device 3 can also complete pairing with the electronic device 4 and the electronic device 5 through the electronic device 1, and the electronic device 4 can also complete pairing with the electronic device 5 through the electronic device 1. Therefore, the pairing between every two of 5 pieces of equipment is realized through the scheme of the application, and only 4 times of two-dimensional codes are required to be scanned, so that the pairing complexity between a plurality of pieces of electronic equipment is greatly reduced.
The device pairing method of the present application is described below from the second electronic device side. Fig. 4 is a schematic flow chart illustrating an implementation of the device pairing method provided by the embodiment of the present application on a second electronic device side, where the method of the embodiment is applied to the second electronic device, and the embodiment may include:
s401, determining a first electronic device connected with a second electronic device through a first interaction channel.
For example, based on the first pairing information already paired between the first electronic device and the second electronic device, a first interaction channel between the first electronic device and the second electronic device is established, so that the second electronic device confirms that the first electronic device is connected through the first interaction channel.
The step S401 is similar to the specific implementation of the first electronic device to determine the second electronic device connected through the first interaction channel, and will not be described herein.
S402, determining at least one third electronic device connected with the second electronic device through a second interaction channel.
And establishing a second interaction channel between the second electronic device and the third electronic device based on the paired first pairing information between the second electronic device and the third electronic device, so as to obtain the third electronic device connected by the second electronic device through the second interaction channel.
It can be understood that the second interaction channels, through which the second electronic device is connected to each third electronic device, are different, and this application refers to, for convenience of distinction, all electronic devices, which are external to the first electronic device and the second electronic device and are connected to the second electronic device through the interaction channels, as third electronic devices.
The first interaction channel and the second interaction channel may also be referred to in the related description of the previous embodiments, and will not be described herein.
S403, establishing a pairing relation between the first electronic device and the third electronic device.
The pairing relationship between the first electronic device and the third electronic device is used for establishing a third interaction channel between the first electronic device and the third electronic device.
For example, in one possible implementation manner, the second electronic device may send, through the first interaction channel, information of at least one third electronic device connected by the second electronic device through the second interaction channel to the first electronic device. On the basis, the first electronic device can send target pairing information to the second electronic device through the first interaction channel, and the second electronic device sends the target pairing information to the third electronic device so as to construct a pairing relation between the first electronic device and the second electronic device based on the target pairing information.
The specific manner in which the second electronic device sends the information of the at least one third electronic device to the first electronic device may be referred to in the foregoing embodiment, for example, the second electronic device may send the paired device list to the first electronic device, which is not described herein.
In order to facilitate understanding of the solution and related benefits of the present application, the following description will be given by taking, as an example, a case where a first electronic device is interconnected with a second electronic device through a first interaction channel, and a second electronic device is interconnected with two third electronic devices through a second interaction channel. In order to facilitate distinguishing the two third electronic devices, the two third electronic devices are referred to as a third electronic device a and a third electronic device B, respectively.

S503, based on the paired second pairing information B between the second electronic device and the third electronic device B, a second interaction channel B between the second electronic device and the third electronic device B is established.
It will be appreciated that the sequence of the above three steps is not limited to that shown in fig. 5, and in practical application, the three interaction channels may be established synchronously according to practical situations, or may be interchanged in sequence, which is not limited.
S504, the first electronic device confirms that the second electronic device is connected through the first interaction channel, and sends a matched list request to the second electronic device through the first interaction channel.
Wherein the paired list request is for requesting a paired device list of the second electronic device.
S505, the second electronic device responds to the paired list request and sends a paired device list to the first electronic device through the first interaction channel.

It may be understood that step S504 is described by taking the example that the first electronic device requests the paired device list of the second electronic device, and in practical application, the second electronic device may actively send the paired device list to the first electronic device after connecting the first electronic device.
S506, aiming at the third electronic equipment A in the paired equipment list, the first electronic equipment generates a communication key A corresponding to the third electronic equipment A, stores the communication key A as pairing information corresponding to the equipment identification of the third electronic equipment A, and sends the communication key A corresponding to the equipment identification of the third electronic equipment A to the second electronic equipment through a first interaction channel.
The sending communication key a may indicate that the device to be received is the third electronic device a, so that the second electronic device may send the communication key a to the third electronic device through the second interaction channel a.
S507, the second electronic device sends the device identifier of the first electronic device and the communication key A to the third electronic device A through the second interaction channel A, so that the third electronic device A stores the communication key A as pairing information corresponding to the device identifier of the first electronic device.
S508, for the third electronic device B in the paired device list, the first electronic device generates a communication key B corresponding to the third electronic device B, stores the communication key B as pairing information corresponding to the device identifier of the third electronic device B, and sends the communication key B corresponding to the device identifier of the third electronic device B to the second electronic device through the first interaction channel.
S509, the second electronic device sends the device identifier of the first electronic device and the communication key B to the third electronic device B through the second interaction channel B, so that the third electronic device B stores the communication key B as pairing information corresponding to the device identifier of the first electronic device.
According to the embodiment, under the condition that the first interaction channel is established between the first electronic device and the second electronic device, the first electronic device can establish a pairing relationship with two third electronic devices connected with the second electronic device through the second electronic device, so that a user does not need to manually scan two-dimension codes generated by the two third electronic devices respectively through the first electronic device to finish pairing, and the complexity of equipment pairing is reduced.
