As another specific implementation, if the virtual reality device sends the latest positioning information to the keyboard during the process of displaying the content information (that is, the keyboard has sent the content information to the virtual reality device), the processing module may obtain new location information according to the first information from the terminal device and the latest positioning information after obtaining the latest positioning information. For example, an image from the terminal device is being displayed in the virtual reality device, and the latest positioning information of the virtual reality device obtained by the processing module in the keyboard indicates that the head of the user turns 45 ° to the left, the processing module obtains new position information indicating that the image turns 45 ° to the right, so that the actual visual perception of the user is consistent with the visual perception to which the user is accustomed.
Based on the implementation mode, when the positioning information of the virtual reality device changes, the keyboard can calculate new position information corresponding to the content information according to the changed positioning information, so that the virtual reality device can adjust the display position of the content information, and therefore when the head of a user rotates or the posture of the user changes, the actual visual experience of the user is consistent with the habitual visual experience of the user, and the user is prevented from being dazzled.
2) And the processing module acquires second information according to the first information from the terminal equipment and the display setting information.

For example, default display setting information (such as default display positions, default display styles corresponding to various data formats, and the like) is stored in advance in the storage unit of the keyboard, and the processing module reads the default display setting information from the storage unit. For another example, the user inputs display setting information of the user for content information to be currently displayed through the input module 103 on the keyboard, and the input module 103 provides the display setting information to the processing module, based on which the user can input the display setting information based on own habits or current needs.
Based on the implementation manner, the keyboard can determine or re-determine the position information corresponding to the content information according to the display setting information, so that the display effect of the content information conforms to the habit or the requirement of the user.

If the control command is a control command for controlling the terminal device, the control command is provided to the first interface unit 101 to be sent to the terminal device to control the terminal device; if the control command is a control command for controlling the virtual reality device, the control command is provided to the second interface unit 102 to be sent to the virtual reality device to control the virtual reality device.
As an implementation manner of the preferred embodiment, the control module obtains a control instruction provided by the first interface unit 101 for controlling the virtual reality device, or obtains a control instruction provided by the second interface unit 102 for controlling the terminal device.
It should be noted that, the first interface unit 101 or the second interface unit 102 may first provide the received control instruction to the processing module, and then the processing module provides the control instruction to the control module, that is, the processing module identifies the control instruction; alternatively, the first interface unit 101 or the second interface unit 102 may directly provide the received control instruction to the control module, that is, the first interface unit 101 or the second interface unit 102 has the capability of recognizing the control instruction.
As an example, a control instruction for the virtual reality device is generated in the terminal device and sent to the keyboard, and a control module of the keyboard obtains the control instruction and provides the control instruction to the second interface unit 102, so that the control instruction is sent to the virtual reality device through the second interface unit 102, thereby controlling the virtual reality device through the keyboard by the terminal device. Similarly, the virtual reality device can control the terminal device through the keyboard.
