The electronic device 100 can be a personal digital assistant, a mobile phone, a smart phone, a notebook computer, or a tablet computer. The server 110 can be established based on the UPnP protocol, with an IP address and a login information. Among them, the UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) protocol is a network protocol promoted by the "Universal Plug and Play Forum", which is based on IP address resolution. The standard is to enable the home network and the devices in the corporate network to seamlessly connect to each other and simplify the implementation of the relevant network. The UPnP architecture allows point-to-point connections between devices, internetworking and wireless devices, and is a distributed, open architecture based on TCP/IP, UDP and HTTP. UPnP technology can be applied to many media, including phones Lines, wires (power line communication PLC), Ethernet, infrared communication technology (IrDA), radio (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth) and Firewire (1394) do not require any device driver but use a common agreement.

The sensing unit 130 establishes a first communication channel according to a physical proximity between the electronic device 100 and another child electronic device 200. Wherein, the physical proximity means that the electronic device 100 and the sub-electronic device 200 are close to each other or overlapped (for example, the distance between the two is less than 10 cm), so that a Near Field Communication (NFC) wafer generated therebetween is generated. Interactions establish a first communication channel. Near field communication technology refers to a short-range high-frequency wireless communication technology that allows non-contact point-to-point data transmission between electronic devices. The control unit 140 transmits the IP address and the login information to the sub-electronic device 200 through the first communication channel. The sub-electronic device 200 establishes a second communication channel with the server 110 according to the IP address and the login information, and logs in and sends the data to the server 110 through the second communication channel.

Please refer to Figure 2. Figure 2 is a simplified schematic diagram showing the transfer of data between two electronic devices, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, the electronic device 100 has a server 110, a control unit 120, a sensing unit 130, and a communication unit 140, and the sub-electronic device 200 has a sub-sensing unit 230 and a sub-communication unit 240. . The server 110 is established based on the UPnP protocol and has a fixed IP address. The sensing unit 130 and the sub sensing unit 230 are NFC wafers. When the electronic device 100 and the sub-electronic device 200 are close to each other (for example, the distance between the two is less than 10 cm), the sensing unit 130 and the sub-sensing unit 230 sense each other and generate an NFC communication channel. At NFC After the communication channel is established, the control unit 120 transmits the IP address corresponding to the server 110 and the login information to the sub-electronic device 200 through the NFC communication channel. The login information may include an account number, a password, a data access authority, and the like of the server. Next, the sub-electronic device 200 turns on the Wi-Fi or Bluetooth function of the sub-communication unit 240, and logs in to the server 110 according to the login information and the IP address. Since the server is established based on UpnP, it can be connected to the server 110 through a browser connection and perform data transfer. As such, although the operating systems of the electronic device 100 and the electronic device 200 are different, the data may be transmitted by means of a browser connecting to the server. After confirming the connection to the server 110, the sub-electronic device 200 can transfer the data to the electronic device 100.

According to an embodiment of the invention, the data may be a browsing record of a browser and a cache of browsing a webpage. After receiving the above information, the electronic device 100 can enable an arbitrary browser according to the file type of the browsing record and link to the web page corresponding to the browsing record.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, the above information may also be multimedia audio and video materials.

Alternatively, when the electronic device 200 already has the above-mentioned multimedia video material, the sub-electronic device can transmit only the multimedia playing time to the electronic device 100, and enable the multimedia application to play the multimedia video data according to the multimedia playing time.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, the above information may also be a game record of a game application. After the user transmits the game record to the electronic device 100 through the second communication channel, the electronic device 100 will enable the corresponding game application and continue the game according to the game record. Alternatively, after the game record is received, when the electronic device 100 does not find the game application corresponding to the game record, the game application is downloaded from the Internet according to the information related to the game record, and is enabled after the download is completed. The game app to continue the game.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, when the electronic device 100 and the sub-electronic device 200 open the same file editing application and simultaneously edit the file, the text file of the file editing application can be synchronized through the second communication channel. For example, when the user performs the function of copying or cutting in the file editing application of the sub-electronic device 200, the text content corresponding to the above action can be simultaneously synchronized to the scrapbook of the file editing application of the electronic device 100. in. In this way, the user can edit the electronic content using the text content at the same time, thereby improving the efficiency of use.

In addition, the sub-electronic device 200 further includes a sub-control unit 220. When the sub-control unit 220 detects that the sub-communication unit 240 logs in to the server 110, the sub-control unit 220 will obtain an application list currently opened by the electronic device 100 according to the access authority. The corresponding data is synchronized to the server 110 according to the above list. For example, if the electronic device 100 is currently enabled to open a map application, the sub-control unit 220 synchronously updates and displays the related data corresponding to the map application stored in the sub-electronic device 200 to the electronic device 100.
