It is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by a person skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present application without creative efforts are within the scope of the present application.

The present application provides an inter-terminal information synchronization method, a server, and a storage device. The application can be applied to at least the following scenarios: a user's old device such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, or a mobile device. The computer needs to be deactivated. Before the deactivation, the first information (device type information and user information) of the old device is uploaded to the server; when the user purchases the new device, an order is generally generated, and the server determines whether the goods in the order are old and old. A new device of the same type, if so, synchronization of user data (user information) between the old device and the new device. When the new device accesses the network, the server sends the user data (user information) in the first information to the new device for configuration of the new device, thereby eliminating the cumbersome manual data synchronization operation of the user. The following specific expansion instructions:

Please refer to FIG. 1. FIG. 1 is a schematic flowchart diagram of a first embodiment of a method for synchronizing information between terminals according to the present application. If there are substantially the same results, the method of the present application is not limited to the sequence of processes shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 1, the method includes the following steps:

First, prepare for the user data synchronization:

S101: The server acquires the first information of the first terminal of the user, and saves the first information to form a first data table. The first information includes at least user information and device type information of the first terminal.

In this step S101, the first terminal is a terminal device (old device) that the user is already using, and the user's old device, such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a laptop computer, etc., needs to be deactivated, and the first information of the old device is used before being deactivated ( The device type information and user information are uploaded to the server, and the server obtains the first information. In addition, the old device may also be a desktop computer, a wireless access device, a virtual reality device, a wearable smart device, or the like.

The first information may include: device type information of the first terminal and user information. The device type information of the first terminal includes, but is not limited to, a terminal type, a terminal model, and unique information of the terminal. The uniqueness information of the terminal may be at least one of a motherboard ID, a MAC address, an IMEI, an IMSI, and the like. The user information is at least one of user personalization information, for example, at least one of user name, various account information, email address, and application frequency of the application, such as terminal wallpaper information, terminal theme information, and unlocking pattern. Personalized settings such as open screen password, input method and time zone.

During the use of the first terminal, the server automatically acquires the first information of the first terminal at any time or at intervals, and saves it in the information database of the server to form a first data table or a first data table corresponding to automatic update. In another embodiment, the user may also be more After the setting is changed, the updated data information is actively sent to the server for the server to update and save.

S102: The server determines whether the connected first terminal generates the order information.

As is well known, when a user makes a purchase, an order information is generated, which includes user information (account information of the purchased product) and related product information of the purchased product. The order information includes the product information, specifically, the device type information of the product, and the device type information includes the device type, the device model, and the detailed information of the device. The detailed information of the device includes but is not limited to the device size and the uniqueness information of the device. The unique information of the device may be a motherboard ID, an IMEI, a MAC address, and a Bluetooth chip ID.

It should be noted that the network connection is maintained between the first terminal and the server, and the operations performed by the first terminal can be reported to the server through the network in real time, so that the server determines whether the order information is generated.

S103: If the order information is generated, the server determines whether the device type information of the product in the order information matches the device type information of the first terminal. If the server matches, the server determines that the order includes the second terminal of the same type as the first terminal.

When the server detects that the order information is generated, it determines whether the device type information of the product in the order information matches the device type information of the first terminal. If the server matches, the user purchases the terminal device similar to the first terminal through the network.

Optionally, the device type information device type and the device model of the first terminal, the server determines whether the product information in the order information is similar to the device type and the device model of the first terminal, and if the matching, the server determines that the product information is A second terminal similar to the first terminal is included.

Among them, the equipment type and equipment model can be similarly matched: the same electronic product category, the same mobile phone category, the same brand manufacturer's product, the same model product. This kind of product can synchronize some information.

After the above preparations are completed, the following is the synchronization process of user data:

S104: The server sends the user information in the first information to the second terminal, so that the second terminal configures the user information.

After getting the purchased terminal device, the server can save the old device saved in advance. Some information (user information) is sent to the second terminal (new device), and the second terminal configures itself without user operation, which saves the user's time, makes the user more willing to replace the new terminal in time, and enjoys and enjoys the new terminal. New features, in turn, enable the development of the electronic information industry to better serve the lives of users.

Optionally, when the server sends the user information to the second terminal, it is first determined whether the connected second terminal has configured the user information. If the server determines that the second terminal does not configure the user information, the server prompts the user whether to automatically configure the If the user determines that the user confirms the configuration of the user information from the first terminal, the user information of the first terminal is sent to the second terminal, so that the second terminal automatically configures the user information.

Optionally, the server may transmit the user information in the first information to the provider of the second terminal, and the provider configures the second terminal. For example, if you want to buy a new laptop, you can transfer some user information of the existing laptop to the supplier of the new laptop. The supplier will configure the information into the new laptop so that the user opens. When you are new to your laptop, you can get information about your old laptop.

Optionally, the server may further acquire device information of the second terminal, determine whether the device information of the second terminal is the same as the device information of the product in the order information, and determine whether the second terminal connected to the network is the product purchased in the order. Improve the accuracy and directionality of the configuration.

Optionally, the server may further determine whether the user information in the order information matches the user information of the first terminal, and if yes, the server saves the order information to form a second data table, and associates the first data table with the second data. table. By associating the order information with the first information of the first terminal, the backup information of the user can be clearly distinguished, and the accuracy and directionality of the configuration are improved.

Referring to FIG. 2, FIG. 2 is a schematic flowchart of a second embodiment of a method for synchronizing information between terminals in the present application. 2a is the interaction process between the first terminal and the server before the information synchronization, and FIG. 2b is the interaction process between the second terminal and the server when the information is synchronized.

In the present embodiment, the first terminal is an electronic device such as a mobile phone as an example. In other embodiments, the first terminal may be a computer, a tablet computer, a smart watch, a smart wearable device, or the like.

The server collects the first information of the first terminal (the old device), and saves the first information to The first data table A1 is formed, and the first information includes at least user information (which may include user account information), device information of the first terminal, user data (user information), and the like.

The server detects whether the user purchases through the original device on a specific e-commerce website, collects the user's account information, and saves the final order information (including but not limited to the product type, the product model, the uniqueness information of the product, etc.) to form a second data table. A2. In other embodiments, the user can also make online purchases by using other electronic terminals than the current terminal, and synchronize the order information to the above database. For example, the electronic terminal currently used by the user is a mobile phone. If the user wants to replace the new mobile phone, the user can use the current mobile phone to purchase a new mobile phone, or use a computer to purchase a new mobile phone.

It is judged whether there is the same account information in the first data table A1 and the second data table A2, and if there is the same account information, the record of the same account information is locked.

A record of the same account information is analyzed to determine whether the type of the item in the order is the same as the type of the first terminal.

If the type of the item in the order is different from the type of the first terminal, the determining step is terminated; if the type of the item in the order is the same as the type of the first terminal, whether the model information of the compared item is consistent with the model information of the first terminal. For example, if the user purchases a non-electronic type of clothing such as clothes or books, the user does not need to continue the judgment step; if the online purchase is a terminal device such as a tablet computer or a smart bracelet, the product model information is further determined.

If the model information of the product in the order does not match the model information of the first terminal, it is determined that the purchased product is not the same device as the first terminal, that is, the new device is purchased; if the model information of the product in the order and the model number of the first terminal The information is consistent. It is possible that the purchased product is not the same device as the first terminal, or it may be the same device (for example, when buying used equipment, it is possible to purchase the original equipment that was once sold; and avoid buying counterfeit products). Then, it is further compared whether the uniqueness information of the commodity is consistent with the uniqueness information of the first terminal. For example, if a user purchases a computer online, it is determined whether the computer and the user's existing computer model are the same; if different, the purchased product and the first terminal belong to the same device, and the user is considered to have purchased a new computer; Then, continue to determine whether the computer has the same unique information as the existing computer, such as the serial number information.

If the uniqueness information of the item in the order is different from the uniqueness information of the first terminal, then It is determined that the purchased product is not the same device as the first terminal, that is, the new device is purchased. This is because each product has unique ID information, even if the same model of the same model, its ID information is different.

Optionally, if the user has multiple orders, each order information will be judged one by one. If multiple orders contain electronic types of goods or an order contains multiple electronic types of goods, each electronic type of product will be judged separately. In addition, the information on the existing terminal can be separately configured into each new terminal.

At this point, the information on the old device has been backed up to the server, and the information (order information) of the purchased new device has also been backed up to the server, and the two data tables are associated. When the user gets the new device, the Internet is The server finds that the information on the old device can be obtained and configured.

The user obtains the second terminal (new device) to connect to the network for the first time, or at any time after the first connection, the server obtains the device information of the second terminal by detecting the network, and the device information includes the terminal type and the terminal model. And the uniqueness information of the terminal, and the like.

The server determines whether the device information of the second terminal is the same as the device information of the terminal in the order information, such as determining whether the uniqueness information is the same; if the same, the terminal device is the terminal device purchased in the order, and the server is based on the associated data. Tables A1 and A2, transmit at least part of the data (user information) of the first information to the second terminal, so that the second terminal configures the user information. That is, the user information, the personalized setting information, and the like in the first information may be configured in the second terminal.

Optionally, after the second terminal is connected to the network, if it is determined that at least part of the data in the first information needs to be configured to the second terminal, the second terminal can automatically download the information in the database in the background to configure the information, without user operation.

Optionally, the user may transmit at least part of the data in the first information to the provider of the second terminal, and the second terminal is configured by the provider. For example, if a user wants to purchase a new laptop, he can transfer some user configuration information and personalization information of the existing laptop to the supplier of the new laptop, and the supplier configures the information into the new laptop. So that users can get information about the old laptop when they open a new laptop.

In one scenario, the user wants to replace the tablet and wants to sync some of the usernames, common applications, profile settings, etc. of the existing tablet to the new tablet. The user can extract and save the user name, common application software, and profile settings in the old tablet to the database in the server. And use the old tablet to purchase a new tablet online, and save the order information of the purchased tablet to the above database. The order information includes the user name, the model of the tablet purchased and other details. After receiving the new tablet, connect to the network, connect to the database, collect other information such as the model of the current tablet and compare it with the information in the order. If they are the same, the tablet is considered to be the new tablet purchased in the order. Then, the tablet will automatically download the data about the old tablet's user name, common application software, profile settings, etc. saved in the database and configure it to the new tablet. No need for the user to manually change the settings, one by one to download the commonly used application software, saving users time.

Further, if the user does not have a tablet, a new tablet is added. Users can also configure some personal account information or other information that can be used on the tablet in the original mobile phone or laptop to the new tablet by the above method. In this way, the user does not need to set the user information once on each communication terminal, and it is more convenient to manage the information on multiple communication terminals.
