Detailed Description

Reference will now be made in detail to exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, the same numbers in different drawings refer to the same or similar elements, unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described by way of example below are not representative of all embodiments consistent with the present disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus consistent with some aspects of the disclosure as detailed in the accompanying claims. The features of the following examples and embodiments may be combined with each other without any conflict.

To solve the above technical problem, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a device interconnection control method, which may be applied to a stylus, where the stylus may be a part of a first device. The first device may include, but is not limited to, a tablet, a smart phone, a personal computer, a smart television, a desktop computer, a large screen, a projector, and the like. In this way, the stylus can touch the touch display screen of the stylus according to the operation of the user, so as to perform touch control on the first device, such as writing, drawing, controlling and other operations. Of course, the above-mentioned stylus may also be set separately, and the technician may set the existence form of the stylus according to the specific scene, which is not limited herein.

It should be further noted that the second devices appearing later may include, but are not limited to, tablet computers, smart phones, personal computers, smart televisions, desktop computers, large screens, projectors, and the like. It is understood that, a person skilled in the art may select a suitable first device and a second device according to a specific scenario, for example, the first device may be a tablet computer, and the second device may be a personal computer, and the corresponding solutions fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

It can be appreciated that in practical applications, the roles of the second device and the first device may be interchanged, i.e. the second device may also share data with the first device. For convenience of description, the following embodiments describe the schemes of the embodiments by sharing data between the first device and the second device, but do not constitute limitations of the disclosure.

It is understood that the stylus may further include a communication module, where the communication module may include at least one of the following: wiFi module, bluetooth module, infrared module, UWB module etc. the skilled person can select suitable communication module to match with the communication module in first equipment or the second equipment according to specific scene, and corresponding scheme falls into the protection scope of this disclosure under the circumstances that can communicate with subsequent stylus and first equipment and stylus and second equipment.

Fig. 1 is a flowchart illustrating a device interconnection control method according to an exemplary embodiment, referring to fig. 1, a device interconnection control method includes steps 11 to 12.

In step 11, in response to detecting that the stylus is directed towards a first device and a second device, respectively, a data transmission channel between the first device and the second device is determined.

In this embodiment, in some scenarios, users may have a need to share data, for example, in a two-person or multi-person meeting, one of the users may have a need to share lecture content (such as word, PPT file) to one or more of the meeting participants. At this time, the user can hold the stylus and point to the first device and the second device respectively, so that data transmission can be realized. Accordingly, the stylus may detect whether the stylus is directed towards the first device and the second device, respectively, and in response to detecting that the stylus is directed towards the first device and the second device, respectively, determine a data transmission channel between the first device and the second device, comprising:

in some examples, referring to fig. 2, in step 21, in response to detecting that the stylus is facing the first device, the stylus may determine to establish a first communication connection with the first device.

In an example, referring to fig. 3, in step 31, the stylus may acquire positioning signals transmitted by the positioning modules on the devices in the preset spatial range. Taking the first device as an example, the first device may be provided with a positioning module, where the positioning module may include, but is not limited to, a WiFi module, a bluetooth module, an infrared module, a UWB module, and the like, which may emit a positioning signal. The positioning module can be realized by adopting a UWB module.

Taking an example that the positioning module of the first device includes a plurality of UWB modules, the UWB module on the stylus may collect UWB positioning signals sent by the plurality of UWB modules on the first device. In practical application, the plurality of UWB modules on the first device can synchronously send UWB positioning signals, so that the influence of time-sharing UWB positioning signals on the touch pen is reduced, and the influence of offset of the first device on a calculation result is reduced.

In step 32, the stylus may determine a spatial relative position of the stylus and each device according to the positioning signal; the spatial relative position includes the stylus being oriented toward the first device. For example, the stylus may determine a distance between the UWB module of the stylus and either UWB module of the first device based on the received UWB positioning signal. Because the first device comprises a plurality of UWB modules, and the distance between the UWB module of the touch pen and the UWB module of the first device is known, the space relative position of the UWB module of the touch pen, namely the space relative position of the touch pen and the first device, can be determined. The spatial relative position may include the stylus being oriented toward the first device.

In practical application, the positioning module of the touch pen can include two UWB modules, after determining the spatial relative position of each UWB module and the first device, the orientation of the touch pen can be determined more accurately by combining the spatial relative positions of the two UWB modules, and whether the extension line of the orientation of the touch pen is located in the display area of the first device, that is, whether the touch pen is oriented to the first device is determined.

In practical application, the stylus may include a spatial gesture sensor, after determining a spatial relative position of the stylus and the first device, the orientation of the stylus may be determined by combining spatial gesture data provided by the spatial gesture sensor, and whether an extension line of the orientation is located in a display area of the first device by combining the orientation determination, that is, whether the stylus is oriented to the first device.

It should be noted that, a technician may select a suitable direction for determining the direction of the stylus according to a specific scenario, and the corresponding scheme falls within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

In response to detecting that the stylus is facing the first device, the stylus may send a broadcast signal to the first device, the broadcast signal including configuration information of the stylus, to cause the first device to perform security verification according to the configuration information and establish a communication connection with the stylus after the security verification is passed, and to send a response signal to the stylus to establish the communication connection, in step 33. The security verification process may include: the first device stylus may compare the received configuration information with locally stored configuration information and determine that the security verification is passed when the two configuration information match (e.g., are identical or both meet a preset specification).

In response to acquiring the response signal, the stylus may determine that a first communication connection is established with the first device in step 34. The first communication connection may include at least one of: wiFi communication connection, bluetooth communication connection, infrared communication connection, UWB communication connection, etc. In an example, the first communication connection may be a bluetooth communication connection.

In this way, in the embodiment shown in fig. 3, the orientation of the stylus can be determined by the positioning signal emitted by the positioning module, the first communication connection can be established without the need of touch operation of the user, and the operation is simple and easy to implement.

In an example, a key may be disposed on the stylus, for example, a key for indicating sharing content, a key for indicating moving a cursor position in the first device up, down, left, and right, a key for indicating turning on/off a power supply of the stylus, a key for indicating a screen display, and the like, which may be disposed according to a specific scenario, and is not limited herein. Referring to fig. 4, in response to detecting that a designated key on the stylus representing shared content is triggered, the stylus may radiate a location request signal to the space, the location request signal including a spatial pose of the stylus acquired by a spatial pose sensor (e.g., gyroscope, acceleration sensor, gravity sensor, etc.) of the stylus, in step 41. The devices around the stylus, taking the first device as an example, may determine the spatial relative position of the stylus according to the positioning request signal, and may refer to the scheme of obtaining the spatial relative position in the embodiment shown in fig. 3, which is not described herein again. Then, the first device may acquire a spatial gesture of the stylus included in the positioning request signal, determine an orientation between the stylus and itself according to the spatial relative position and the spatial gesture, and send a connection establishment request to the stylus when the orientation is within a preset range; the connection establishment request includes configuration information of the first device.

In step 42, in response to obtaining the configuration information of the first device, the stylus may perform security verification on the configuration information, which may be referred to as a security verification scheme in the embodiment shown in fig. 3, and will not be described herein. In step 43, in response to passing the security verification, the stylus may determine to establish a first communication connection with the first device.

In this way, in the embodiment shown in fig. 4, the user may manually trigger the button indicating the shared content and establish the first communication connection when the stylus points to the first device, so that the device to be shared data is conveniently and quickly located, and the operation is simple and easy to implement.

In one example, referring to fig. 5, in response to detecting that a designated key on the stylus representing shared content is triggered, the stylus may radiate a location request signal to the space in step 51. In practical applications, the positioning request signal includes configuration information of the stylus. The device around the stylus takes the first device as an example, the first device performs security verification on the configuration information after receiving the positioning request signal, and starts the camera module after the security verification is passed. The first device may control the camera module to collect an image within a field of view according to a set period, identify an orientation of the stylus according to the image to determine whether the orientation of the stylus is within a display range of each device, and send a connection establishment request to the stylus when the orientation of the stylus is within the display range of the first device. The connection establishment request comprises configuration information of the first equipment;

In step 52, in response to obtaining the configuration information of the first device, the stylus may perform security verification on the configuration information of the first device, which may be referred to as a security verification scheme in the embodiment shown in fig. 3, which is not described herein. In step 53, in response to passing the security verification, the stylus may determine to establish a first communication connection with the first device.

In step 51 to step 53, the first device may also directly establish the first communication connection with the stylus through the configuration information, and feedback the response information of the successfully established connection to the stylus after the successfully established communication connection, so that the effect of establishing the first communication connection between the stylus and the first device may be achieved, and the corresponding scheme also falls within the protection scope of the disclosure.

In this way, in the embodiment shown in fig. 5, the user may manually trigger the button representing the shared content and establish the first communication connection when the stylus points to the first device, so that the device to be shared data is conveniently and quickly located, and the operation is simple and easy to implement.

In one example, the stylus is provided with a laser module and a key (e.g., a key representing sharing content) for triggering the laser module. Referring to fig. 6, in response to detecting that a designated key on the stylus representing shared content is triggered, the stylus may emit a laser signal in step 61. Since the laser signal propagates along a straight line, only the first device among the devices around the stylus can receive the laser signal. The display screen of the first device may be provided with a light sensing device, and a connection establishment request may be sent when the above-mentioned laser signal is detected, wherein the connection establishment request includes configuration information of the first device. It will be appreciated that since only one device receives the laser signal, only one device will send a connection establishment request at this time. In step 62, in response to obtaining the configuration information of the first device, the stylus may perform security verification on the configuration information of the first device, which may be referred to as a security verification scheme in the embodiment shown in fig. 3, which is not described herein. In step 63, in response to passing the security verification, the stylus may determine to establish a first communication connection with the first device.

In this way, in the embodiment shown in fig. 6, the user may manually trigger the key for representing the shared content and direct the key to the first device by using the laser signal, so that the first communication connection with the first device may be quickly established, that is, the device to which the data is to be shared may be quickly located, and the operation is simple and easy to implement.

In an example, referring to fig. 7, in response to detecting that a designated key on the stylus representing sharing content is triggered, the stylus may send a bluetooth signal to a particular spatial range in step 71. The specific spatial range mentioned above can be adjusted, for example a sphere range with a radius of 10-100 cm. Taking the example of a radius of 20 cm for a particular spatial range, which typically covers one device, the first device; alternatively, by adjusting the configuration information of the bluetooth module in the stylus (e.g. reducing the transmission power), the first device is only allowed to receive the bluetooth signal when transmitting the bluetooth signal and to return to the normal transmission power after the first communication connection is subsequently established. The first device can generate a popup window after receiving the Bluetooth signal, and send a connection establishment request to the touch pen after responding to the triggering of a key in the popup window; the connection establishment request includes configuration information of the first device. In step 72, in response to obtaining the configuration information of the first device, the stylus may perform security verification on the configuration information, which may be referred to as a security verification scheme in the embodiment shown in fig. 3, and will not be described herein. In step 73, in response to passing the security verification, the stylus may determine to establish a first communication connection with the first device.

It should be noted that in step 71 to step 73, when the pop-up window is displayed in the first device, the first communication connection may be directly established with the stylus in response to the key in the pop-up window indicating that the key agrees to share data being triggered, so that the effect of establishing the first communication connection between the stylus and the first device may be achieved, and the corresponding scheme also falls within the protection scope of the disclosure.

In this way, in the embodiment shown in fig. 7, by limiting the bluetooth signal to radiate in a specific spatial range, only the first device can receive the bluetooth signal, so that the device to be shared with data can be quickly located, and the operation is simple and easy to implement.

In step 22, in response to detecting that the stylus is directed towards the second device, the stylus may determine to establish a second communication connection with the second device. It can be appreciated that, the manner in which the stylus establishes the second communication connection with the second device may refer to the scheme for establishing the first communication connection with the first device, which is not described herein.

In step 23, the stylus may determine to forward data of the first device and the second device based on the first communication connection and the second communication connection.

The embodiment shown in fig. 2 describes a scheme that the stylus forwards data to be shared, and in other examples, the stylus may also establish a direct connection data transmission channel according to the first device and the second device. Referring to fig. 8, in response to detecting that the stylus is directed toward the first device, the stylus may determine to establish a first communication connection with the first device and obtain configuration information for the first device in step 81. The solution for establishing the first communication connection may refer to the content of step 21, which is not described herein.

In step 82, in response to detecting that the stylus is directed towards the second device, the stylus may determine to establish a second communication connection with the second device; the scheme for establishing the second communication connection may refer to the content of step 22, which is not described herein.

In step 83, the stylus may send the second communication connection to the second device, so that the second device may establish a communication connection with the first device through the configuration information of the first device, where a scheme for establishing the communication connection may refer to the content of step 21, which is not described herein. And the stylus may determine that the communication connection is a data transfer channel between the first device and the second device.

In step 12, the first device is controlled to send the data to be shared to the second device through the data transmission channel.

In an example, the stylus may control the first device to send the data to be shared after establishing the first communication connection with the first device. The stylus may send control instructions to the first device. Considering that the stylus has established a first communication connection with the first device, the first communication connection is preferred in this example to send the control instruction. The control command may be a level signal (e.g. PWM wave signal), a preset encoding signal (e.g. C100), etc., and may be set according to a specific scenario without limitation.

In practical applications, the stylus may not send the control instruction through the first communication connection, and in this scenario, after determining that the first communication connection is established, the user may be reminded to enable the user to continue to operate, for example, pressing a designated key of the stylus. The control instruction in the form of an electrical signal, an optical signal or a magnetic signal and the like can be sent out after the designated key of the touch pen is pressed, and the control instruction can be detected by the first device, for example, a touch display screen of the first device can detect the optical signal and determine the meaning represented by the optical signal. After detecting the control command, the first device may generate a popup window in the display area as shown in fig. 9 (a) and 9 (b).

Referring to fig. 9 (a) and fig. 9 (b), when a pop-up window appears in a display area of the first device, data to be shared (such as a picture, text, video, etc.) may be selected, and a user may drag the data to be shared into the pop-up window through a control component (such as a keyboard or a mouse) or a stylus carried by the first device. For the first device, when the first device and the second device do not establish a direct connection data transmission channel, the first device may send the data to be shared to the stylus through the first communication connection when detecting that the data to be shared exists in the popup window. The stylus may forward data to be shared from the first device to the second device. For example, when the second communication connection is not established, the stylus may cache the data to be shared in the local memory, and forward the data to the second device through the second communication connection after the second communication connection is established. For another example, after the second communication connection has been established, the data to be shared may be forwarded to the second device through the second communication connection.

In this way, the touch pen in the example is used as a device trusted by both the first device and the second device, and can forward the data to be shared, so that the effect of sharing the data can be achieved without sharing the file by a user through a USB flash disk or a mailbox or instant messaging software, the operation is simple and easy to realize, and the safety of the data is ensured.

In another example, the stylus may control the first device to send the data to be shared after establishing the first communication connection with the first device. For example, the stylus may send control instructions to the first device. It should be noted that, the control instruction may be sent through the first communication connection, or may be sent after being pressed in response to a designated key of the stylus.

After detecting the control command, the first device may generate a control menu as shown in fig. 10 (a) in the display area, where the control menu may include at least one of: the screen projection display key and the content sharing key. For the user, after the control menu appears in the display area, the key can be selected by a control component (such as a keyboard or a mouse) or a touch pen carried by the first device.

Referring to fig. 10 (b), after the control instruction is detected, the first device may send display interface data of the first device to the stylus in response to the touch screen display key being triggered, where the display interface data may be read from a local memory of the first device. Or, referring to fig. 10 (c), after the control instruction is detected, the content to be shared may be acquired and sent to the stylus in response to the content sharing key being triggered. The method for obtaining the content to be shared may refer to a popup method shown in fig. 10 (a) and fig. 10 (b), which is not described herein again.

The stylus may forward data to be shared from the first device to the second device. For example, when the second communication connection is not established, the stylus may cache the data to be shared in the local memory, and forward the data to the second device through the second communication connection after the second communication connection is established. For another example, after the second communication connection has been established, the data to be shared may be forwarded to the second device through the second communication connection. Of course, when the stylus determines that the data transmission channel is a direct-connection transmission channel,

In yet another example, after the stylus establishes a data transmission channel directly connected between the first device and the second device, a control instruction may be sent to the first device, so that the first device sends display interface data or data to be shared to the second device through the directly connected transmission channel. It should be noted that, when the first device detects the control instruction, the first device may read the display interface data to be displayed from the local memory as the display interface data to be shared. In addition, the first device may also generate a pop-up window after detecting the control instruction, and the content of the pop-up window may refer to the content of the foregoing embodiment of the drawings, which is not described herein again.

In this way, the transmission range of the content to be shared can be reduced through the direct connection transmission channel, and the safety is improved; and the data transmission efficiency can be improved through the direct connection transmission channel.

The embodiment of the disclosure also provides a device interconnection control method, which can be applied to a first device and can include, but is not limited to, devices such as a tablet computer, a smart phone, a personal computer, a smart television, a desktop computer, a large screen, a projector and the like.
