In some embodiments, in conjunction with the illustration of fig. 2, step S120, controlling the operation state of the controlled device based on the target reference signal, so that the controlled device can at least respond to the target input data, may include the following steps.
S121, determining the current running state of the controlled equipment in response to the target reference signal.
S122, controlling the controlled equipment to switch from the current running state to a target running state corresponding to the target reference signal so as to at least enable the target input data or the processing result of the target input data to be sent to the controlled equipment through a target communication channel between the controlled equipment and the controlled equipment, and enabling the controlled equipment to respond to the target input data or the processing result thereof.
Optionally, in the case that the electronic device establishes a target communication connection with the controlled device, the electronic device may acquire, from the controlled device, state information for identifying a current operation state of the controlled device. The electronic device may determine a current operating state of the controlled device based on the state information in response to acquiring the target reference signal.
For example, the electronic device sends a status query request to the controlled device based on a signal transmission channel in response to obtaining the target reference signal, requesting the controlled device to feed back a status identifier for identifying a current running status of the controlled device.
For example, when the electronic device establishes a target communication connection with the controlled device, the electronic device may periodically send a status query request to the controlled device, and store a status identifier fed back by the controlled device in a target register. The electronic device may determine a current operating state of the controlled device based on a state identification in the target register in response to obtaining the target reference information.

The electronic device may also transmit the target input data or a processing result of the target input data to the controlled device based on a target communication channel, so that the controlled device can respond to the target input data or the processing result of the target input data and perform a specific operation such as a deep binding operation.
For example, the electronic device may include one or more input modules, a first power management chip, and a first Type-C interface. In the case where the electronic device includes an input module, the input module may be connected to at least the RX pin and the TX pin of the first Type-C interface. In the case that the electronic device includes a plurality of input modules, the plurality of input modules may be connected to the RX pin and the TX pin of the first Type-C interface through a Hub (Hub). The input module can be connected with a CC pin of the first Type-C interface through a first power management chip. The controlled device may include an Embedded Controller (EC), a bridge chip set (PCH), a second power management chip, and a second Type-C interface, where an RX pin and a TX pin of the second Type-C interface are connected to the bridge chip set, and a CC pin of the second Type-C interface may be connected to the embedded controller through the second power management chip. Thus, when the electronic device and the controlled device are connected with each other through the first Type-C interface and the second Type-C interface, a target communication channel conforming to the USB protocol can be formed between the input module of the electronic device and the bridge chip group of the controlled device, and a signal transmission channel conforming to the factory definition information (Vendor Defined Message, VDM) protocol can be formed between the first power management chip of the electronic device and the second power management chip of the controlled device. The electronic equipment can send target input data or processing results to the controlled equipment through a target communication channel conforming to a USB protocol, and can also send target reference signals to a second power management chip of the controlled equipment through a signal transmission channel conforming to a VDM protocol, and the target reference signals are forwarded to the embedded controller through the second power management chip and responded through the embedded controller.
Alternatively, the electronic device may have processing capability of target input data, the electronic device acquires the target input data, and may process the target input data to acquire a processing result. At this time, the electronic device may transmit the processing result to the controlled device based on the target communication channel. For example, the electronic device may send a verification result of fingerprint data, a verification result of face data, or a recognition result of a touch gesture to the controlled device.
Optionally, the electronic device may not have processing capability of the target input data, or the electronic device may send the target input data to the controlled device based on a target communication channel when the target input data is processed by the controlled device based on a negotiation agreement between the electronic device and the controlled device.

And when the controlled equipment is in the second running state, the target hardware of the controlled equipment can be in a power-on state and does not enter an operating system dormant state. And under the third state of the controlled equipment, the target hardware of the controlled equipment is in a power-on state and enters an operating system.
Optionally, the target manipulation module of the electronic device may include a power switch, and the power switch may generate the target reference signal in response to a user operation. The target input module of the electronic device, such as a fingerprint module, an image acquisition module or a touch module, can respond to user operation to generate target input data. And under the condition that the controlled equipment is in the first running state, the electronic equipment can send the target reference signal to the controlled equipment, and the controlled equipment is controlled to be switched from the first running state to the second running state, so that a first communication channel is established between the electronic equipment and the controlled equipment. The electronic device may send the target input data or a verification result of the target input data to the controlled device based on the first communication channel, so that the controlled device switches from the second operation state to the third operation state in response to the target input data or the verification result of the target input data.
Optionally, the electronic device may verify the target input data if it is determined that the controlled device is in the first operating state. If the verification result indicates that the target input data passes verification, the electronic device can send a target reference signal to the controlled device based on the signal transmission channel. The controlled device may switch directly from the first operating state to a third operating state based on the target reference signal. For example, the fingerprint module of the electronic device may verify fingerprint data to obtain a verification result. And under the condition that the verification result represents that the fingerprint data passes verification, the first power management chip can acquire a state identifier for identifying the current running state of the controlled equipment, and under the condition that the state identifier represents that the controlled equipment is in a shutdown state, the first power management chip can send a target reference signal to the EC of the controlled equipment based on a signal transmission path conforming to a VDM protocol, and the EC can control the controlled equipment to start up based on the target reference signal and count into an operating system. Therefore, the electronic equipment can be used for simply and easily controlling the controlled equipment to start, the deep binding between the electronic equipment and the controlled equipment can be realized, and the user experience is improved. In another embodiment, the electronic device may also control the state switching of the controlled device by using the target reference signal obtained by verification, and send the verification result to the corresponding component (application program or hardware module) of the controlled device directly through the first communication channel to perform the response operation. Or the trigger signal is generated along with the use of the fingerprint module, and then the state switching of the controlled equipment is controlled by utilizing the trigger signal, so that fingerprint data collected by the fingerprint module is given to the controlled equipment through the established first communication channel for verification processing.
In some embodiments, step S122, controlling the controlled device to switch from the current operation state to the target operation state corresponding to the target reference signal may include the following steps.
And if the controlled equipment is currently in the second running state, controlling the controlled equipment to switch from the second running state to a third running state so as to send the target input data or the processing result thereof to the controlled equipment through a second communication channel between the controlled equipment and the controlled equipment to execute response operation.
Optionally, under the condition that the controlled device is determined to be in the second running state, the electronic device may send a target reference signal to the controlled device, control the controlled device to enter an operating system, and switch from the second running state to the third running state, so that the controlled device can respond to the target input data or a processing result of the target input data.
For example, in a standby state or a sleep state of the controlled device, the electronic device may generate a target reference signal in response to, for example, fingerprint data verification passing or face data verification passing or collecting fingerprint data or face data, send the target reference signal to the controlled device through the first power management chip based on the signal transmission channel, and control the controlled device to enter the operating system, thereby switching from the standby state or the sleep state to the normal running state. The electronic device may also send target input data, such as image data or touch gestures, to a bridge group of the controlled device based on a target communication channel conforming to the USB protocol, and further respond to the image data or touch gestures through a CPU, GPU, MCU, or the like. Therefore, the controlled device can be controlled to be quickly switched to the normal running state through the electronic device, and the target input data or the processing result of the target input data is responded, so that the user experience is improved.
