Specifically, when the input device 110 and the input device 120 are initially paired with the electronic devices 101-1 to 101-3, the control sequence for inputting the electronic devices 101-1 to 101-3 is determined. When operating, electricity The sub-devices 101-1~101-3 may not be connected to the input device 110 and the input device 120 due to some unexpected conditions. For example, the power of the electronic devices 101-1~101-3 is insufficient or exceeds the wireless connection range. And other issues. Therefore, by this handshake mechanism, it is ensured that the electronic devices 101-1~101-3 are still connected to the input device 110 and the input device 120.

When the input device 110 and the input device 120 and the electronic device 101-2 are successfully handed over, the electronic device 101-2 can be connected to the input device 110 and the input device 120, so that the input device 110 and the input device can still be used. 120 operates the electronic device 101-2.

In contrast, as shown in FIG. 3E, when the input device 110 and the input device 120 fail to collide with the electronic device 101-2, it indicates that the electronic device 101-2 has lost connection with the input device 110 and the input device 120. At this time, the input device 110 and the input device 120 perform the handshake with the electronic device 101-3 in accordance with the pairing order. When the input device 110 and the input device 120 and the electronic device 101-3 are successfully handed over, the electronic device 101-3 is connected to the input device 110 and the input device 120, so that the input device 110 and the input device 120 can be used. The electronic device 101-3 is operated.

In other words, the input device 110 and the input device 120 perform the handshake on the electronic device 101-2 and the electronic device 101-3 in the order of pairing to determine whether the electronic device 101-2 and the electronic device 101-3 are present. When pairing When the electronic device 101-2 in which the input control is preferentially executed is not present, the electronic device 101-3 can be subsequently gripped, and the electronic device 101-3 can be operated by the input device 110 and the input device 120.

After that, step S311 in FIG. 3A is performed: after the second input device is switched to perform input control on another controlled electronic device, when the data content is performed, the second input device is used by the other The controlled electronic device receives the second notification information; and records, by the second input device, a destination address of the other controlled electronic device in the path information according to the second notification information.

The notification information 106 is received. Then, a destination address of the electronic device 101-2 is recorded in the path information by the input device 120 according to the notification information 106.

For example, as shown in FIG. 3F, the control unit 113 of the input device 110 and the control unit 123 of the input device 120 can switch from input control of the electronic device 101-1 to input control of the electronic device 101-2; in other words, That is, the input device 110 controls the cursor displayed on the display screen of the electronic device 101-1, and moves the cursor from the display screen of the electronic device 101-1 to the display screen of the electronic device 101-2. In this case, the input device 110 and the input device 120 control the electronic device 101-2. When the material content is subjected to the attaching action by the input device 110 or the input device 120, the wireless unit 121 of the input device 120 receives the notification information 106 from the electronic device 101-2. Next, the control unit 123 of the input device 120 receives the notification information 106 from the wireless unit 121, and according to the notification information 106, the path is A destination address of the electronic device 101-2 is recorded in the message. In other words, when the material content is subjected to the pasting action by the input device 110 or the input device 120, a path from the electronic device 101-1 to the electronic device 101-2 is established to perform the action of the subsequent data content pasting.

Thereafter, step S313 in FIG. 3A is performed: after the second input device receives the second notification information, temporarily storing, by the second input device, the data content from the source address of the controlled electronic device according to the path information; The stored data content is forwarded to the destination address of another controlled electronic device by the second input device. As shown in FIG. 3G, after the input device 120 receives the notification information 106, the input device 120 temporarily stores the data content from the source address of the electronic device 101-1 according to the path information, and then the input device 120 The stored data content is transferred to the destination address of the electronic device 101-2.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3G, after the input device 120 receives the notification information 106 from the electronic device 101-2, the control unit 123 of the input device 120 temporarily stores the storage unit 125 from the electronic device 101-1 according to the path information. The content of the source address. In an embodiment, based on the size limit of the buffer of the storage unit 125 of the input device 120, the electronic device 101-1 may determine how much data is copied from the scrapbook to the input device 120 each time. Next, the input device 120 forwards the temporarily stored data content to the destination address of the electronic device 101-2.
