The terms "first," "second," and the like in the description of the present application, are used for distinguishing between similar objects and not necessarily for describing a particular sequential or chronological order. It is to be understood that the terms so used are interchangeable under appropriate circumstances such that the embodiments of the application are capable of operation in sequences other than those illustrated or otherwise described herein, and that the objects identified by "first," "second," etc. are generally of a type and do not limit the number of objects, for example, the first object may be one or more. In addition, "and/or" in the specification means at least one of the connected objects, and the character "/", generally means a relationship in which the associated objects are one kind of "or".

The device connection method provided by the embodiment of the application is described in detail below through specific embodiments and application scenarios thereof with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to fig. 1, a flowchart of a device connection method according to one embodiment of the present application is shown, in which the method is performed by a first electronic device, the method includes:

step 110: in the case of displaying the first interface, a first input is received.

In some embodiments of the present application, the first input is used to trigger to acquire display content of the first interface, so as to display the first identifier according to the display content of the first interface. The first input may be a first operation. Illustratively, the first input includes, but is not limited to: the user inputs the control on the screen, the touch control on the screen area, or the voice command input by the user, or the specific gesture input by the user, or other feasibility inputs through a touch control device such as a finger or a stylus, and the embodiment of the invention is not limited. The specific gesture in the embodiment of the application may be any one of a single-click gesture, a sliding gesture, a dragging gesture, a pressure recognition gesture, a long-press gesture, an area change gesture, a double-press gesture and a double-click gesture; the click input in the embodiment of the application may be single click input, double click input, or any number of click inputs, and may also be long press input or short press input.

For example, the first input may be: when the screen displays an interface of a certain music player, the user wants to connect to the bluetooth headset at this point in time to desire to play music through the bluetooth headset, at which time the user presses the screen with three fingers simultaneously to slide left or presses the screen with three fingers to slide right.

In some embodiments, the first interface is an interface of an application program, and the display content is an application interface of the application program; in some embodiments, the first interface is a desktop interface, and the display content is an icon of an application program.

Step 120: in response to the first input, a first identification is displayed.

The first identifier is used for indicating at least one connectable second electronic device, and the device type of the at least one second electronic device has an association relationship with the display content in the first interface.

In this step, the device type of the second electronic device has an association relationship with the display content in the first interface.

The explanation of the association relationship may be that an application type to which each application program in the electronic device belongs is preset, for example, common application types include a remote collaborative application type, an audio application type, an internet of things application type, and a sports application type. In particular, music players are of the audio application type. Similarly, device types are preset for various electronic devices, for example, common device types include remote cooperative device type, audio device type, internet of things device type, and sports device type. Specifically, the bluetooth headset belongs to the type of audio equipment; sports watches are of the sports equipment type. When the device type of a certain device is matched with the application type of a certain application program, the device type and the application program are considered to have an association relation; further, the device type has an association relationship with the content in the application.

In addition, the finer explanation of the association relationship may be that certain data in a certain application program needs to be output by a device matching the data format, and then the type of the device and the data have an association relationship, wherein the data is display content.

In some embodiments the first identity is an information carrier, in particular a control.

Step 130: a second input is received.

In some embodiments of the present application, the second input is configured to select a first target device of the at least one second electronic device to be manually connected based on a first identification of the at least one second electronic device that is displayed. The second input may be a second operation. Illustratively, the second input includes, but is not limited to: the user inputs the control on the screen, the touch control on the screen area, or the voice command input by the user, or the specific gesture input by the user, or other feasibility inputs through a touch control device such as a finger or a stylus, and the embodiment of the invention is not limited. The specific gesture in the embodiment of the application may be any one of a single-click gesture, a sliding gesture, a dragging gesture, a pressure recognition gesture, a long-press gesture, an area change gesture, a double-press gesture and a double-click gesture; the click input in the embodiment of the application may be single click input, double click input, or any number of click inputs, and may also be long press input or short press input.

For example, the second input may be: and the user selects a second electronic device corresponding to one of the first identifications as the first target device.

Step 140: in response to the second input, a first target device of the at least one second electronic device is connected.

In this step, the first electronic device connects to the first target device.

In some embodiments, if the first target device is a historically connected electronic device, the first target device may be directly connected; if the first target device is a device that has not been connected in history, the first target device may be connected based on a pairing request between devices or the like.

In a device connection method of another embodiment of the present application, the second input includes a first sub-input and a second sub-input.

In the flow of the present embodiment, step 140 includes:

substep A1: at least one device identification is displayed in response to a first sub-input to the first identification.

In this embodiment, the first identifier is used to indicate a device type that includes at least one second electronic device.

In this step, the first sub-input is used to trigger at least one device identity connectable under the device type for which the first identity indication is displayed.

Wherein one device identification is used to indicate one second electronic device.

For example, a first identifier for indicating the type of the sports device is displayed, and the first sub-input may be clicking the first identifier, displaying the device identifier of the sports wristband and the device identifier of the sports watch.

Substep A2: in response to a second sub-input to a first device identification of the at least one device identification, a first target device indicated by the first device identification is connected.

In this step, the second sub-input is used to operate a first device identification indicating the first target device to trigger a connection to the first target device.

For example, the second sub-input may be a user clicking a device identifier of the sports wristband or a device identifier of the sports watch.

Wherein the at least one second electronic device comprises the first target device.

In this embodiment, based on at least one external electronic device connectable to the current first electronic device, the device type having an association relationship with the display content is found in combination with the display content in the first interface, and then the user selects the second electronic device under the type. Therefore, the embodiment can intelligently provide the external equipment suitable for the current scene for the user, and operation steps of the user are saved.

In the flow of the device connection method according to another embodiment of the present application, after step 110, the method further includes:

step B1: in response to the first input, a second identification is displayed, the second identification indicating at least one second electronic device of a device type different from the at least one second electronic device indicated by the first identification.

In this embodiment, the display content in the first interface has an association relationship with a plurality of device types, for example, a certain display content is an icon of an application program or an application interface of an application program, and the application program or the application interface has an association relationship with a plurality of device types; for another example, one display content in the first interface is an icon of an application program or an application interface of an application program, the application program or the application interface has an association relationship with one device type, and the other display content in the first interface is an icon of an application program or an application interface of an application program, the application program or the application interface has an association relationship with another device type.

For example, icons of a plurality of application programs are included in the first interface, one application program belongs to an audio type application, and the other application program belongs to a motion type application; as another example, an icon of an application program included in the first interface belongs to both the audio type application and the motion type application.

Thus, in this step, a first identification is displayed, the first identification being used to indicate a device type; while displaying a second identifier indicating another device type.

For example, referring to fig. 2, at least one identifier is displayed in one-to-one correspondence with at least one device type, including: an identifier 201 corresponding to the type of the audio device, an identifier 202 corresponding to the type of the internet of things device, an identifier 203 corresponding to the type of the sports device, and an identifier 204 corresponding to the type of the remote collaborative device. Wherein the first identifier and the second identifier are illustratively any two of the four identifiers described above.

Wherein the second identifier in this embodiment has the same function as the first identifier, as is similarly supported for receiving the second input.

For example, referring to fig. 3, taking the identifier corresponding to the type of the sports equipment as the first identifier, the user clicks the first identifier to display at least one equipment identifier under the type of the sports equipment, including: a device identification 301 of the sports wristband and a device identification 302 of the sports watch; referring to fig. 4, taking the identifier corresponding to the audio device type as the second identifier, the user clicks the second identifier, and at least one device identifier under the audio device type is displayed, including: device identification 401 of music device 1, device identification 402 of music device 2, device identification 403 of music device 3, and device identification 404 of music device 4.

In some embodiments, in order to facilitate the user to clearly understand the association relationship between the device type indicated by the identifier and the display content, referring to fig. 2, when the user triggers the identifier 201 corresponding to the audio device type, the display content having the association relationship between the identifiers 201 corresponding to the audio device type is highlighted, such as highlighting an icon of a video editing application, shaking display, and the like. In this way, when the user triggers the first identifier or the second identifier, it can be clear which display contents in the first interface can be output by the second electronic device indicated by the different identifier.

In this embodiment, the types of devices having an association relationship with the display content in the first interface are more than one, and different types of external devices may output different display contents, so that a user may select a device type first and then select a connectable device under the device type in combination with the display content in the first interface and own expectations. Therefore, the method and the device intelligently push connectable equipment classification for the user, and simplify operation steps of the user.

In another embodiment of the present application, after displaying the first identifier and displaying the second identifier, the method further includes:

Step C1: a third input is received of the first content or the target identification in the first interface.

Wherein the target identification comprises at least one of: the first mark and the second mark.

Step C2: and responding to the third input, and establishing the association relation between the application program or the application interface indicated by the first content and the second electronic equipment indicated by the target identifier.

In some embodiments of the present application, the third input is used to manually establish an association relationship between the first content in the first interface and the second electronic device indicated by the target identifier, where the application program is associated with the second electronic device when the first content indicates the application program, and the application interface is associated with the second electronic device when the first content indicates the application interface. The third input may be a third operation. Illustratively, the third input includes, but is not limited to: the user inputs the control on the screen, the touch control on the screen area, or the voice command input by the user, or the specific gesture input by the user, or other feasibility inputs through a touch control device such as a finger or a stylus, and the embodiment of the invention is not limited. The specific gesture in the embodiment of the application may be any one of a single-click gesture, a sliding gesture, a dragging gesture, a pressure recognition gesture, a long-press gesture, an area change gesture, a double-press gesture and a double-click gesture; the click input in the embodiment of the application may be single click input, double click input, or any number of click inputs, and may also be long press input or short press input.

For example, the third input may be that the user drags the first content in the first interface to the first identifier or the second identifier for a long time. Wherein the first content may be an icon of an application program, the first content indicating the application program; the first content may also be an application interface of the application program, the first content indicating the application interface.

In some embodiments, the target logo displays a special effect, such as highlighting, when the user manually drags the first content to the target logo.

In some embodiments, the system stores the input result of the third input, and in a subsequent scenario, retains an association relationship between the first content and the second electronic device indicated by the target identifier.

In an application scenario of the embodiment, for example, based on intelligent processing of a system, running data in the first interface is output by a sports type device by default, for example, displayed in a sports watch; and based on the user making a third input, running data in the first interface may be altered to be output by an audio type device, such as in a bluetooth headset. In another example of an application scenario of this embodiment, based on intelligent processing of the system, it cannot be determined by which type of device a certain data in the first interface can be output, and then the user can manually determine one of the types of devices.

In the embodiment, on the basis of intelligently establishing the association relationship between the identifier and the display content, the association relationship is also supported to be manually changed by the user, so that the system can establish the association relationship according to the wish of the user, and the external equipment is controlled to output data according to the wish of the user, thereby meeting the use requirement of the user.

In the flow of the device connection method according to another embodiment of the present application, in the case that the first interface is an application interface of the first application program, step 120 includes:

substep D1: a first identification associated with an application type of the first application program is displayed.

In the step, the first interface is an application interface of the first application program, so that the equipment type matched with the application type is determined according to the application type of the first application program, and a first identifier is displayed, wherein the first identifier is used for indicating at least one second electronic equipment under the equipment type.

For example, referring to fig. 5, the first interface is a lyrics display interface 501 of a song of a music player, and the first identifier is used to indicate the type of audio device since the music player belongs to the audio type application.

In some embodiments, the application programs are divided into four application types of remote collaboration, audio, internet of things and sports according to functions and the like of a large number of application programs at present; dividing the electronic equipment into four equipment types of remote collaboration, audio, internet of things and sports according to functions and the like of a large number of electronic equipment at present; and when the application type is consistent with the device type, the interface of the application program is considered to have an association relationship with the device type.

For example, the bluetooth headset is an audio type device, and the music player is an audio type application, so that an application interface of the music player has an association relationship with the bluetooth headset.

In the application scenario of the embodiment, for example, during the period that the user uses a certain type of application program, the connectable device of the same type can be directly screened out for the user, so that the connectable device is suitable for the current scenario.

In this embodiment, according to the type of the application program, connectable external devices of the same type are matched for the currently displayed interface of the application program, so that the scene of device connection is intelligent, and the user operation steps are simplified.

In various embodiments of the present application, the second target device, or a greater number of target devices, may also be selected simultaneously based on the user selecting the first target device.

For example, in the case of displaying at least one device identifier, the user presses the screen for a long time, so that the at least one device identifier enters an optional state, for example, see fig. 6, in which a box symbol 601 is displayed at each device identifier, and the user can click on the box symbols 601 at a plurality of device identifiers in sequence, so that the first electronic device connects a plurality of target devices at the same time.

In various embodiments of the present application, after displaying the first and second identifiers, and where the first and second identifiers are used to indicate a device type, the user may select the first and second identifiers at the same time, or a greater number of identifiers.

For example, referring to fig. 2, two fingers of a user respectively press the identifier 201 corresponding to the audio device type and the identifier 202 corresponding to the internet of things device type for a long time, and then the two fingers point to the middle to slide close to each other, referring to fig. 7, so that at least one device identifier under the audio device type and at least one device identifier under the sports device type are displayed.

In the flow of the device connection method according to another embodiment of the present application, after step 140, the method further includes the steps of:

and displaying an interface of the first target device in the first electronic device in a screen projection mode.

For example, referring to fig. 8, after the first electronic device connects to the sports watch, a screen window is established in the screen of the first electronic device, the screen window being used to display a watch dial 801 of the sports watch.

In this embodiment, if the first target device has a display function, the first electronic device may further display an interface of the first target device, so that the user may control the connected first target device in the first electronic device, and a step of switching between the first electronic device and the first target device by the user is omitted.

In the flow of the device connection method according to another embodiment of the present application, after step 140, the method includes:

step E1: and disconnecting the connection with the first target device in the case of displaying the second content which does not have the association relationship with the first target device.

For the interpretation of the association, in addition to the type of the display content matching the device type of the first target device, the display content is bound to the first target device, and in this step, the second content does not have an association with the first target device, that is, at least one of the following is satisfied: the type of the second content does not match the device type of the first target device, and the second content is unbound to the first target device.

Step E2: and reconnecting the first target device in case of displaying the third content having the association relationship with the first target device.

In this step, for the explanation of the association relationship, in addition to the type of the third content being identical to the device type of the first target device, the third content is bound with the first target device.

In this embodiment, a method of manually binding display content with a first target device is provided.

For example, the binding is input in the following manner, referring to fig. 9, the user pushes the device identifier 901 of the bluetooth headset down to the designated area 10001 shown in fig. 10, triggers to display all audio types of display contents in the first interface, referring to fig. 11, such as an icon 1101 of a music application (Applications, app) 1, an icon 1102 of a music app2, an icon 1103 of a long video app1, and an icon 1104 of a long video app2, and clicks at least one icon by the user to bind the application indicated by the icon to the bluetooth headset.

In this embodiment, a method for automatically binding display content with a first target device is also provided.

For example, based on the display content in the first interface, the first identifier is displayed, and when the user selects the first target device based on the first identifier, the first target device is bound with the display content indicated by the first identifier in the first interface by default.

Thus, on the one hand, if the second content does not have an association relationship with the first target device, when the first electronic device displays the second content, the connection with the first target device is automatically disconnected. On the other hand, if the third content has an association relationship with the first target device, when the first electronic device displays the third content, the first target device is automatically connected.

For example, when the user connects the first target device based on the icons of the application programs in the first interface or the application interfaces in the first interface, the first electronic device automatically connects the first target device only when the application interfaces indicated by the icons of the application programs or the application interfaces in the first interface are displayed, otherwise, the connection with the first target device is disconnected.

For another example, the first electronic device may automatically connect to the first target device only when the application interface indicated by the icon of the bound application program or the bound application interface in the first interface is displayed, or may disconnect from the first target device.

In further embodiments, on the basis of the association relationship between the third content and the first target device, if the first input of the user is received while the third content is displayed, the first target device may be automatically connected.

In this embodiment, a method for automatically controlling connection between a first target device and a first electronic device in the case that a display content in a first interface has an association relationship with the first target device is provided, so as to achieve automatic connection and automatic disconnection between the first electronic device and the first target device. The user can control the device to be output by different external devices according to the characteristics of different contents, and the user does not need to frequently connect and disconnect the device based on different current display contents, so that the user operation is simplified while the personalized requirements of the user are met; meanwhile, the management of external equipment can be realized, and the effectiveness and safety of equipment connection are improved.

In a flow of the device connection method according to another embodiment of the present application, step 110 includes at least one of the following:

substep F1: in the case of displaying a desktop, a screenshot input to the desktop is received.

In some embodiments, in the case of displaying the desktop, the display content includes at least one icon of an application program, and after the user inputs a screenshot on the desktop, according to the generated screenshot, the icon of each application program in the screenshot is used as the display content, so as to identify a device type consistent with the application type of each application program.

For example, referring to FIG. 2, in the case of a display desktop, a desktop screenshot 205 is generated.

Substep F2: and receiving screenshot input of the second application interface under the condition that the second application interface of the second application program is displayed.

In some embodiments, the second application may be the same application as the first application in the previous embodiments, or may be a different application.

In the step, under the condition that a second application interface of the second application program is displayed, after the user inputs the screenshot of the second application interface, the interface in the screenshot is used as display content according to the generated screenshot, so that the type of the device matched with the display content of the second application interface is identified.

In some embodiments, to distinguish between the normal screenshot function and the quick connect external device function, see fig. 12, after the screenshot 1201 is generated, the screenshot 1201 automatically zooms out while the screen display device is connected to the proposed hover sphere 1202, and the user may select to drag the screenshot 1201 into the hover sphere 1202, triggering the display of the first identifier. Otherwise, if the operation of the user is not detected within the preset time length, for example, 1s, the screenshot is automatically saved and no other processing is performed.

In some embodiments, in order to distinguish a normal screenshot function from a shortcut connection external device function, trigger gestures of different functions are different, further, in the shortcut connection external device function, after a screenshot is generated, the screenshot automatically slides into the suspension ball, then the suspension ball also moves into an animation, the animation effect is that the suspension ball is enlarged from the position of the suspension ball to the whole screen, and then the first mark is displayed.

In this embodiment, a method for triggering a quick connection to an external device by a screenshot input mode is provided, so that a device connection function is triggered by an input mode used by a user, and user operation is further simplified.

In the flow of the device connection method of another embodiment of the present application, when the first screenshot has an association relationship with the second target device and the second screenshot has an association relationship with the third target device, the method further includes:

Step G1: and connecting the second target device under the condition that an interface with the association relation with the content in the first screenshot is displayed.

Step G2: and connecting a third target device under the condition that an interface with the association relation with the content in the second screenshot is displayed.

In the application scenario of this embodiment, for example, a user establishes a folder for an icon of a related application program, so that multiple folders may be established, and the user opens each folder in turn, and triggers the generation of a screenshot of each folder, for example, see fig. 13, to generate a screenshot 1301, a screenshot 1302, and a screenshot 1303. Then, according to the content in each screenshot, integrating all connectable devices, and the user can bind the devices with the screenshot so that the screenshot has an association relationship with the devices.

In some embodiments, when the content in one screenshot has an association relationship with a certain device type, the background colors of the screenshot and the identifier indicating the device type may be set to be the same, or in other display manners, so that the user can conveniently determine which screenshot can be bound with which device type.

Based on the above, when an interface having an association relation with the content in the screenshot is displayed, for example, when an application interface of an application program indicated by an icon of the application program in the screenshot is displayed, or when the application interface in the screenshot is displayed, the target device bound based on the screenshot is automatically connected; and otherwise, when an interface with an association relation with the content in the screenshot is not displayed, automatically disconnecting the target equipment bound with the screenshot.

In some embodiments, the present embodiments are applicable to the collation of applications. For example, generating a screenshot based on an icon of a portion of an audio type application, binding an audio type device; and generating a screenshot based on the icon of the other part of the audio type application program, and binding the other audio type device.
