在其他一些实施例中，电子设备可以自动更新区域52中的信息，更新后的区域52中可以显示该电子设备在指示的方向上当前发现的附近设备对应的设备信息。电子设备曾经发现的但当前无法发现的附近设备对应的设备信息可以不再在区域52中显示，另外，电子设备在指示的方向上新发现的附近设备对应的设备信息可以被显示在区域52中。在其他一些情况下，区域52还可以显示更新控件(如“手动更新”)，该更新控件用于用户手动更新当前发现的附近设备对应的设备信息。
在另一些实施例中，区域52可以显示另一更新控件(如“其他推荐”)，该另一更新控件用于更新区域52显示在其他方向上发现的附近设备对应的设备信息。用户也可以通过特定的手势操作，比如左滑或右滑等操作，来触发设备信息的更新。在一些情况下，上述其他方向可以是与指示的方向相邻的预定角度范围，比如，与指示的方向相邻的30°角度范围。
在另一些实施例中，如图5E所示，区域52中还可以显示设备信息对应的操作提示信息。该操作提示信息可用于提示用户何种操作能够触发该电子设备分享数据至该设备信息对应的附近设备。例如，用户图标525下面显示的文本信息“点击发送”可提示用户点击图标525来触发将已选定图片分享至附近设备“MAC的手机”的操作。
上述示例仅仅是本实施例提供的一些实现方式，不应构成限定。不限于作用 于设备信息上的操作，设备信息对应的操作提示信息还可以提示用户通过其他形式的操作来触发电子设备对该设备信息对应的附近设备分享数据。例如，该操作提示信息可以提示用户在用户图标上做一个逆时针画圆圈的特定手势来触发分享已选定图片。
在其他一些实施例中，响应于用户在如图5B或5C所示的图形用户界面中选择或指示接收设备的方向，电子设备在已发现的附近设备中可以按预定显示规则选择一个附近设备作为候选接收设备，并在更新的图形用户界面中显示候选接收设备的设备信息。在一些实施例中，该预定显示规则可以是选择距离电子设备最近的附近设备作为候选接收设备，并显示其设备信息。如图5F所示，当电子设备确定了在指示的方向上距离电子设备最近的附近设备时，可以在区域52和53显示对话框54，对话框54中可以包括提示信息541和控件542、控件543。其中，提示信息541可以为文本信息，例如“您将与MAC的手机分享图片”等，用于提示用户将与设备信息为“MAC的手机”的附近设备分享图片。控件542可以显示文字信息“确定”，用户触摸该控件能够触发该电子设备与设备信息为“MAC的手机”的附近设备建立通信连接并在连接建立成功后发送数据。控件543可以显示文字“获取推荐”，用户触摸该控件能够触发电子设备更新区域52，并在区域52中显示在指示的方向上发现的除设备信息为“MAC的手机”的附近设备之外的其他附近设备对应的设备信息，上述其他附近设备对应的设备信息显示的顺序可以基于预定排序规则，如根据附近设备与电子设备之间的距离或者设备ID首字母顺序等。在其他一些实施例中，区域52中可以显示电子设备在其他方向上发现的附近设备对应的设备信息。在一些情况下，上述其他方向可以是与指示的方向相邻的预定角度范围。

在其他一些实施例中，电子设备在指示的接收设备方向上仅一个附近设备或者在已发现的多个附近设备中选择一个附近设备作为候选接收设备后，直接与该附近设备建立通信连接，并在连接建立成功后发送数据。也即，图形用户界面可以从图5B或图5C直接更新为如图5G所示。
在其他一些实施例中，当电子设备在指示的方向上没有发现任何设备时，如图5H所示，电子设备可以在区域52和53显示对话框56，对话框56中可以包括提示信息561和控件562、控件563。其中，提示信息561可以为文本信息， 例如“指定方向上没有支持设备”等，用于提示用户在指示的方向上没有发现可连接设备。控件562和563可以用于提示并监听用户下一步的操作。控件562可以显示文字信息“获取推荐”，用户点击该控件能够触发更新区域52，并在区域52中显示在除指示的方向外的其他方向上发现的附近设备对应的设备信息。在一些情况下，上述其他方向是与指示的方向相邻的预定角度范围。控件563可以显示文字信息“退出”，用户点击该控件触发退出本次定向分享。在其他一些实施例中，控件562和563可以对应于其他操作，比如，控件563可以显示文字信息“重新定向”，用户点击该控件能够触发电子设备更新图形用户界面，用于重新选择或指示接收设备的方向，图形用户界面50可以更新如图5B或图5C所示。
可以理解的是，在本实施例中，不限于上述所描述的区域51、区域52和区域53，“定向分享界面”还可以包括其他形式的交互元素，如图5A所示，图形用户界面50还可以包括标题栏，标题栏中可显示控件501，还可显示指示信息502。其中，控件501可用于取消选择图片进行分享的操作，即用户可以点击控件501来取消分享已选择的图片。指示信息502可用于指示已选定图片的数量。
图6A-图6B示例性示出的图形用户界面60可以为“定向分享界面”的另一种实现方式。
图6A示例性示出了响应于用户对于图4A中应用程序“图库”中图片的轻触操作而进入的图形用户界面60。图形用户界面60可以包括区域61和62。区域61中可以显示用户当前浏览的图片601。区域62中可以显示菜单602。菜单602可参考图4B中所示的图形用户界面40中的菜单45，这里不再赘述。

在另一些实施例中，控件6021可以为“定向分享”。响应于用户点击该控件，电子设备触发更新图形用户界面，并在更新后的图形用户界面中监听用户对于接收设备方向的选择操作。更新后的图形用户界面可参考图5B中显示的图形用户界面50。在其他一些实施例中，响应于用户点击控件6021“定向分享”，电子设备触发更新图形用户界面，并在更新后的图形用户界面中监听用户的手势，并通过用户的手势确定接收设备的方向。更新后的图形用户界面可参考图5C中显示的图形用户界面50。在一些情况下，当用户点击控件6021之前，“定向分享”已经开启，则响应于用户点击控件6021(“分享”或“定向分享”)，电子设备更新图形用户界面至如图5B或图5C所示，这里不再赘述。
在其他一些实施例中，响应于用户点击控件6021“定向分享”，电子设备更新图形用户界面，显示附近设备对应的设备信息及附近设备与电子设备的相对位置，并监听用户对于接收设备的选择。更新后的图形用户界面可参考图5D中显 示的图形用户界面50，这里不再赘述。
在其他一些实施例中，电子设备可以在图形用户界面60中监听用户手势的操作，从而触发定向分享。如图6B所示，用户可以在区域61中的任意位置长按并向某一方向持续滑动一段距离L。该距离L需大于一预定长度以使得电子设备能够识别并确定用户滑动的方向。在一些情况下，响应于用户在区域61中任意位置的长按操作，区域61中的图片可以更新为当前浏览图片的缩略图，该缩小后的图片显示在用户长按的位置，并且，当用户手指在屏幕上滑动时，该缩略图可以随着触点位置的变化而移动。在一些实施例中，电子设备分别确定用户在区域61中滑动开始和结束时的触点位置，并根据该滑动开始和结束时的触点位置确定用户的滑动方向。可以理解的是，确定滑动方向的方式不仅限于通过确定滑动开始和结束时的触点位置，电子设备也可以通过记录手指滑动轨迹等方式来确定滑动方向，本实施例对此不作任何限制。
响应于用户在如图6B所示的图形用户界面的区域61中的任意位置长按并向某一方向持续滑动一段距离L的操作，电子设备更新图形用户界面，并在不同的情况下显示在指示的方向上发现的附近设备的图形用户界面。

在另一些情况下，响应于用户在如图6B所示的图形用户界面的区域61中的任意位置长按并向某一方向持续滑动一段距离L的操作，电子设备可以更新图形用户界面如图5H所示，以表示电子设备在滑动方向上没有发现支持的设备。
在其他一些实施例中，用户在对图4A中应用程序“图库”中图片进行轻触操作进入图形用户界面60，电子设备在图形用户界面60中检测特定的操作(例如：单指长按、双指长按或者在图片上逆时针画圈等操作)之后，电子设备更新图形用户界面，显示在全部方向上发现的附近设备对应的设备信息，并监听用户 对于接收设备的选择，更新后的图形用户界面可参考图5D。

在另一些实施例中，控件741可以为“定向分享”。响应于用户点击该控件，电子设备触发更新图形用户界面，并在更新后的图形用户界面中监听用户对于接收设备方向的选择操作。电子设备对于图形用户界面的更新可参考图5B中显示的图形用户界面50中的区域52和53。在其他一些实施例中，响应于用户点击控件“定向分享”，电子设备触发更新图形用户界面，并在更新后的图形用户界面中监听用户的手势，并通过用户的手势判断接收设备的方向。电子设备对于图形用户界面的更新可参考图5C中显示的图形用户界面50中的区域52和53。在其他一些实施例中，响应于用户点击控件“定向分享”，电子设备触发在全部方向上发现附近设备以及确定发现的附近设备与电子设备之间的相对位置，在发现了附近设备并确定其与电子设备之间的相对位置后，电子设备更新图形用户界面，显示附近设备对应的设备信息及附近设备与电子设备的相对位置，并监听用户对于接收设备的选择。电子设备对于图形用户界面的更新可参考图5D中显示的图形用户界面50的区域52和53，这里不再赘述。
图8A-图8B示例性示出的图形用户界面80可以为“定向分享界面”的又一种实现方式。
图8A示例性示出了响应于用户作用于图3A中显示的图形用户界面上的应用程序图标的操作而进入应用分享的图形用户界面80。例如，电子设备监听到在应用239的图标上的长按操作，响应于该操作，电子设备可以在该应用图标239的周围更新菜单81，菜单81中可以包括控件811(“分享”)和控件812(“卸载”)。其中，控件811可用于监听用户分享已选择应用的操作，控件812可用于监听用户卸载已选择应用的操作。

在其他一些实施例中，用户在对图3A中显示的图形用户界面上的应用程序图标通过特定的操作(例如：双指长按、多指长按或者在应用程序图标上逆时针画圈等操作)触发在全部方向上发现附近设备以及确定发现的附近设备与电子设备之间的相对位置，在发现了附近设备并确定其与电子设备之间的相对位置后，电子设备更新图形用户界面，显示附近设备对应的设备信息及附近设备与电子设备的相对位置，并监听用户对于接收设备的选择。电子设备对于图形用户界面的更新可参考图5D中显示的图形用户界面50中的区域52和53。在一些情况下，电子设备通过监听用户拖动应用程序图标至图形用户界面上显示的附近设备对应的设备信息来触发将选定的应用程序分享至该附近设备的操作。
在一些实施例中，当电子设备确定了目标接收设备之后，与目标接收设备建立通信连接，并在通信连接建立后开始传输应用程序信息。该应用程序信息可以包括应用安装程序、应用程序下载链接、应用程序名称及版本号等信息中的一个或多个。
图9A示例性示出了电子设备开启定向分享后，发现全部附近设备并确定附近设备与电子设备的相对位置，并与选定的接收设备建立连接并发送数据的过程。如图9A所示，当电子设备100监听到定向分享开启后，触发电子设备100发现所有方向上的附近设备。其中，用户可以在如图3B所示的图形用户界面中点击“定向分享”控件，或者在如图4B所示的图形用户界面中点击“定向分享”控件，或者通过在如图5A所示的图形用户界面中点击图标521，或者在如图6B所示的图形用户界面中的通过特定手势操作等方式开启定向分享。
电子设备100可以通过以下几种方式来发现附近设备：
方式1.采用Wi-Fi直连无线通信技术发现附近设备
在一些实施例中，电子设备100可以向外广播探测请求(probe request)。附近设备在监听到该探测请求之后，可以回应探测响应(probe response)，以通报自身的存在。在另一些实施例中，附近设备可以周期性的向外发送信标(Beacon)帧。电子设备100可以通过监听附近设备发送的Beacon帧来发现附近设备。
也即是说，电子设备100可以主动发现附近设备，也可以被动发现附近设备。
方式2.采用蓝牙无线通信技术发现附近设备
在一些实施例中，电子设备100附近的蓝牙设备(如具有蓝牙模块的手机、平板电脑、打印机等)可以进行蓝牙广播。电子设备100可以进行蓝牙扫描，扫描附近的蓝牙设备广播的广播帧，从而发现附近的蓝牙设备。
方式3.发现同一个Wi-Fi LAN中的设备
在一些实施例中，电子设备100可以根据自身在该LAN中的IP地址和子网掩码确定出该LAN的IP地址范围，然后可以通过单播轮询的方式来发现该LAN中的设备。不限于此，电子设备100还可以在该LAN中通过广播消息或组播消息的方式来发现该LAN中的设备。
不限于上述几种电子设备发现附近设备的方式，实际应用中，电子设备还可以采用其他方式来基于蓝牙或Wi-Fi直连或Wi-Fi LAN或毫米波等通信技术发现附近设备，本申请对此不作限制。
电子设备100在附近设备发现过程中从附近设备接收的消息(如探测响应、信标帧或蓝牙广播帧等)中获得上述附近设备的标识信息，然后通过标识信息获得设备信息，也可以从附近设备接收的消息中获得上述附近设备的设备信息。
电子设备100在发现了电子设备101、电子设备102和电子设备103之后，分别确定上述附近电子设备与电子设备100的相对位置。上述相对位置至少包括到达角(AoA)等信息。电子设备100确定附近设备的到达角(AoA)的具体过程可以如图9B所示。电子设备100首先向电子设备101发送第一请求信号1011，该第一请求信号1011用于请求电子设备101发送第一报告信号1012，以进行到达角(AoA)的测量。电子设备101在接收到第一请求信号1011之后，向电子设备100发送第一报告信号1012，电子设备100使用天线阵列接收第一报告信号1012，并根据不同天线接收到的第一报告信号1012的相位差估计电子设备101的到达角(AoA)。在一些实施例中，该第一报告信号1012具体可以包括固定频率扩展信号，该信号可以是附加在正常数据包后面的包含一系列的切换时隙和采样时隙的数据串。接收端在接收第一报告信号1012时，按照一定的顺序切换不同的接收天线，并根据不同天线接收到的固定频率扩展信号的相位差确定到达角(AoA)。
举例说明，若电子设备100的毫米波天线阵列中包含8个毫米波天线A1-A8，在发送第一请求信号1011之后，在时间t1仅使用天线A1接收附近设备发送的第一报告信号1012，在时间t2仅使用天线A2接收附近设备发送的第一报告信号1012，以此类推，在8根天线分别接收到附近设备发送的第一报告信号1012后，电子设备100根据8根天线接收的第一报告信号1012的相位差来计算附近设备的到达角(AoA)，也即是附近设备与电子设备100的相对角度。
在其他一些实施例中，电子设备100与电子设备101可采用发射角(AoD)测量方法来确定相对角度。
接下来，电子设备100采用与测量电子设备101到达角(AoA)相同的步骤在不同时间区间使用天线阵列分别确定电子设备102和电子设备103的到达角(AoA)。在其他一些实施例中，电子设备100可以同时确定附近设备中的多个设备或者全部设备的到达角(AoA)。
在其他一些实施例中，电子设备100可以配置天线阵列进行波束成形，仅在一个方向上接收附近设备发送的广播消息，或者朝向该方向发送探测信号，接收到探测信号的附近设备向电子设备100发送探测响应，用于在该方向上发现附近设备。电子设备100获取附近设备的设备信息，并将上述附近设备与该方向相对应。接下来，电子设备100配置天线阵列进行波束成形，在另一个方向上发现附近设备。即，通过在各个方向进行轮询的方式，完成附近设备的发现，并获得附近设备的相对角度。
在其他一些实施例中，相对位置还可以包括距离信息。电子设备100可以通过在附近设备发现过程中从附近设备接收消息的信号强度RSSI来确定电子设备100与发现的附近设备的距离，例如，电子设备100可以通过在附近设备发现过程中从附近设备接收的广播消息或者响应消息的信号强度RSSI来确定电子设备100与发现的附近设备的距离；也可以采用其他现有技术中的测距方法，如ToF/ToA/TDoA测距等，来确定电子设备100与发现的附近设备之间的距离。本实施例对此不做任何限制。
电子设备100在确定了电子设备101、电子设备102、电子设备103的相对位置并检测到用户分享数据的操作后，更新图形用户界面，并在图形用户界面中包括上述附近设备电子设备101、电子设备102和电子设备103的设备信息及上述设备与电子设备100的相对位置，显示的图形用户界面可参考图5D。此外，在如图5D所示的图形用户界面中，距离电子设备越近的附近设备，其对应的图标距离中心点5341越近。电子设备100在如图5D所示的图形用户界面中监听用户对于接收设备的选择。
在其他一些实施例中，电子设备100可以通过在附近设备发现过程中从附近设备接收到的信号确定其信号强度RSSI，例如，电子设备100可以确定在附近设备发现过程中从附近设备接收的广播消息或者响应消息的信号强度RSSI，在确定了附近设备与电子设备100的相对角度并检测到用户分享数据的操作后，更新图形用户界面，并在图形用户界面中包括附近设备的设备信息、相对角度以及信号强度，显示的图形用户界面可参考图5D。此外，在如图5D所示的图形用户界面中，信号强度越强的附近设备，其对应的图标距离中心点5341越近。
如图9A所示，若用户选择了电子设备101作为接收设备。接下来，电子设备100可以通过蓝牙或WiFi等无线技术与电子设备101建立通信连接并开始发送数据。上述建立通信连接的具体过程可以是：电子设备100向电子设备101发送建立连接请求消息，电子设备101接收到建立连接请求消息后，向电子设备100回复连接响应消息，以建立电子设备100与电子设备101之间的通信连接。接下来，电子设备100向电子设备101发送用户选定的数据，如图像、文档、应用安装程序、应用程序信息等。
在其他一些实施例中，若用户在分享数据时指示了方向信息，例如，在如图5B所示的图形用户界面中选择了方向，或在如图5C或6B所示的图形用户界面中使用手势指示了方向，电子设备可以在全部方向发现的附近设备中对指示的方向上的附近设备对应的设备信息设置不同的显示效果，或在如图5E所示的图形用户界面中仅显示在指示的方向上的附近设备对应的设备信息，或当指示的方向上仅有一个附近设备或电子设备在指示的方向上的多个附近设备中选择一个候选附近设备时，在如图5F所示的图形用户界面中显示相应的设备信息或直接与该附近设备建立通信连接并开始发送数据。
图9C示例性示出了电子设备开启定向分享后，确定接收设备的方向，并基于该方向发现附近设备，并与选定的接收设备建立连接并发送数据的过程。
电子设备100的用户可以在如图5B所示图形用户界面上通过选择指示接收设备的方向，也可以在如图5C或6B所示的图形用户界面上通过手势指示接收设备的方向。举例说明，若用户在如图5B所示的图形用户界面中，用户选择区域5332，则表示用户指示的接收设备方向在右方；在如图5C所示的图形用户界面中，若用户沿水平方向向右滑动，则表示用户指示的接收设备方向在右方，在如图6B所示的图形用户界面中，若用户长按图片并沿水平方向向右滑动，则表示用户指示的接收设备方向在右方。电子设备100在确定了用户指示的接收设备方向之后，根据由陀螺仪确定的电子设备100的姿态，确定波束成形方案，并配置天线阵列在指示的方向上接收附近设备发送的广播消息用于进行在接收设备方向上发现附近设备。其中，所述波束成形方案可以包括每个天线的权值。具体来说，通过调整每个天线的权值，使得多个天线在波形上经过相干和相消，能够在指定的方向上接收信号。在一些实施例中，该天线阵列可以为毫米波天线阵列，其在附近设备发现过程中，在接收设备的方向上接收附近设备发送的毫米波广播消息，从而发现在指定的方向上的附近设备。在其他一些实施例中，该天线阵列可以为具备蓝牙或WiFi等无线通信技术的天线阵列。
在其他一些实施例中，电子设备100在确定接收设备的方向后，配置天线阵列在指示的方向上发送探测请求。接收到该探测请求的附近设备向电子设备100回应探测响应，以通报自身的存在。
通过在指定的方向上发现附近设备，减少了电子设备发现的设备个数，提高了用户选择接收设备的精准度和效率。
图10A、10B示例性示出了本实施例中根据用户选择或通过手势指示的接收设备方向和电子设备的姿态，确定波束成形方案并配置天线阵列的工作原理。如图10A所示，若电子设备在图形用户界面中检测到用户向上滑动的操作，则电子设备将在电子设备的正前方发现附近设备。图10A中，电子设备呈水平方向，电子设备根据用户指示的接收设备的方向和电子设备的姿态确定第一波束成形方案，即确定各天线的权值，使得波束朝向电子设备的正前方。而图10B中，电子设备同样在图形用户界面中检测到用户向上滑动的操作，但由于电子设备与水平方向存在一定的夹角，因此，电子设备根据用户指示的接收设备的方向和电子设备的姿态确定第二波束成形方案，即确定各天线的权值，使得波束朝向电子设备的正前方。其中，虽然电子设备检测到的用户滑动操作是相同的，但由于电子设备的姿态不同，使得第一波束成形方案与第二波束成形方案的参数不同。
结合图1和图9C，由于电子设备101和电子设备102在同一方向上，因此，当用户指示接收设备的方向在电子设备100右侧时，电子设备100有可能在附近设备发现的过程中发现电子设备101和电子设备102。如图9C所示，若电子设备100发现了电子设备101和电子设备102，即电子设备100接收到来自电子设备101和电子设备102的广播消息或探测响应。电子设备100从上述广播消息或探测响应中获取电子设备101和电子设备102的设备信息，并确定上述广播消息或探测响应的信号强度RSSI，根据信号强度RSSI确定电子设备100与电子设备 101和电子设备102之间的距离。在其他一些实施例中，电子设备100可以通过其他测距技术来获得其与附近设备之间的距离，如ToF/ToA/TDoA测距等。在发现了附近设备并确定了附近设备与电子设备100的距离后，电子设备可以按照预定排序规则对发现的各附近设备进行排序并在如图5E所示的图形用户界面中显示排序后的各附近设备对应的设备信息。在一些实施例中，该预定排序规则可以是基于附近设备与电子设备的距离。在其他一些实施例中，设备消息的排序可以根据广播消息或探测响应的信号强度RSSI或设备消息的首字母等其他规则。
接下来，结合图5E和图9C，若电子设备100在如图5E所示的图形用户界面中监听到用户点击电子设备101对应的图标，表明用户选择电子设备101作为接收设备。电子设备100与电子设备101建立通信连接并在连接建立之后开始传输数据。在一些实施例中，电子设备100与电子设备101之间通过蓝牙或WiFi等无线通信技术建立通信连接并在连接建立之后通过蓝牙或WiFi等无线通信技术传输数据。在其他一些实施例中，电子设备100与电子设备101之间建立通信连接，并在连接建立之后通过天线阵列定向传输数据。在定向数据传输过程中，可以通过陀螺仪检测手机的姿态并测量两设备之间的到达角(AoA)或发射角(AoD)获得电子设备100和电子设备101的相对位置变化，从而调整波束成形方案，即实时调整天线阵列各天线的权值，使得定向传输能够持续进行。
若电子设备100在如图5E所示的图形用户界面中监听到更新显示的设备信息的操作，响应于该操作，电子设备100触发在与指定的接收设备方向不同的其他方向上确定波束成形方案，即确定天线阵列中各天线的权值，并配置天线阵列在该其他方向上发现附近设备。此外，电子设备100可以根据附近设备发现过程中从附近设备接收的消息(如广播消息或探测响应)的信号强度确定各附近设备与电子设备的距离，进而确定各附近设备的显示顺序，并将附近设备对应的设备信息按照确定的排序显示。其中，距离电子设备越近的附近设备对应的设备信息的排序越靠前。在其他一些实施例中，电子设备100也可以根据从附近设备接收的广播消息或探测响应的信号强度确定各附近设备的显示顺序。电子设备100在如图5E所示的图形用户界面的区域52中更新设备信息，并在显示的图形用户界面上监听用户选择的接收设备。在一些情况下，上述其他方向可以是与接收设备方向相邻的预定角度范围。
在其他一些实施例中，电子设备100在指定的方向上发现附近设备并确定各附近设备与电子设备100的距离之后，仅显示距离电子设备100最近的附近设备对应的设备消息，并在显示的图形用户界面中监听用户对接收设备的确认结果。在另一些实施例中，电子设备100在指定的方向上发现附近设备并确定从各附近设备接收的消息(如广播消息或探测响应)的信号强度，仅显示信号强度最强的附近设备对应的设备消息，并在显示的图形用户界面中监听用户对接收设备的确认结果。显示的图形用户界面可参考如5F所示。
若用户点击如图5F所示的图形用户界面中的控件542(“确定”)，则触发电子设备与该选择的设备建立通信连接，并在连接建立成功后发送数据。若用户点 击如图5F所示的控件543(“获取推荐”)，则触发电子设备更新显示的设备信息，并显示在上述指定的方向上发现的除上述距离电子设备100最近的附近设备之外的其他附近设备，上述其他附近设备显示的顺序基于其他各附近设备与电子设备100的距离远近。电子设备100在参考如图5E所示的图形用户界面中监听用户对于接收设备的选择。在其他一些情况下，若在用户指定的接收设备方向上发现的附近设备有且仅有如图5F中显示的附近设备，则用户点击如图5F所示的控件543(“获取推荐”)将触发电子设备100在与用户指定的方向不同的其他方向上确定波束成形方案，并配置天线阵列中每个天线的权值，使天线阵列在该其他方向上发现附近设备。在一些情况下，上述其他方向可以是与用户指定的接收设备方向相邻的预定角度范围。
在其他一些实施例中，当电子设备100在用户指定的接收设备方向上仅发现一个附近设备或者在已发现的多个附近设备中确定了一个距离最近或信号强度最强的附近设备作为接收设备后，直接与该附近设备建立通信连接，并在连接建立成功后发送数据。此时图形用户界面可以更新至如图5G所示。
在其他一些实施例中，当电子设备100在用户指定的接收设备方向上没有发现任何设备时，电子设备100更新图形用户界面以提醒用户没有发现任何设备。显示的图形用户界面可参考图5H。若用户点击如图5H所示的图形用户界面中的控件552(“获取推荐”)，响应于该操作，电子设备100触发在与用户指定的接收设备方向不同的其他方向上确定波束成形方案，并配置天线阵列中每个天线的权值，使天线阵列在在该其他方向上发现附近设备。此外，电子设备100根据在发现过程中从附近设备接收到的消息的信号强度估计各附近设备与电子设备的距离，进而确定各附近设备的显示顺序，并将附近设备对应的设备信息按照确定的排序在参考如图5E所示的图形用户界面中显示。电子设备100在参考如图5E所示的图形用户界面中监听用户选择的接收设备。在一些情况下，其他方向可以是与用户指定的接收设备方向相邻的预定角度范围。
