具体实施方式
本申请以下实施例中所使用的术语只是为了描述特定实施例的目的，而并非旨在作为对本申请的限制。如在本申请的说明书和所附权利要求书中所使用的那样，单数表达形式“一个”、“一种”、“所述”、“上述”、“该”和“这一”旨在也包括复数表达形式，除非其上下文中明确地有相反指示。还应当理解，本申请中使用的术语“和/或”是指并包含一个或多个所列出项目的任何或所有可能组合。
以下，术语“第一”、“第二”仅用于描述目的，而不能理解为暗示或暗示相对重要性或者隐含指明所指示的技术特征的数量。由此，限定有“第一”、“第二”的特征可以明示或者隐含地包括一个或者更多个该特征，在本申请实施例的描述中，除非另有说明，“多个”的含义是两个或两个以上。
由于本申请实施例涉及分布式协同设备之间文件保护的应用，为了便于理解，下面先对本申请实施例涉及的相关术语及概念进行介绍。
(1)设备群组：
本申请实施例中，多个电子设备首先通过网路连接可以构成分布式协同场景。然后，该多个电子设备完成输入法协同后，可以组成一个设备群组。具体的，被辅助设备可以向每一 个辅助设备发送输入法协同请求，辅助设备接收到该请求后，该辅助设备的输入法可以与该被辅助设备的输入法协同完成同一个信息输入，该信息可以包括文字信息、图像信息等，本申请实施例对此不限定。
其中，辅助设备是指可以直接由本机完成信息输入的电子设备，例如手机、平板电脑等。被辅助设备是指通过本机输入信息时不高效，但可以通过辅助设备完成信息输入的电子设备，例如智慧屏等。
设备群组中包括2个或2个以上的辅助设备，以及，1个或1个以上的被辅助设备。该设备群组中的辅助设备可以通过本申请实施例中的辅助输入方法协助被辅助设备进行输入。
在本申请实施例中，设备群组的组成方式可以有很多种：
在一些实施例中，可以设定登陆了同一个网络账号的多个电子设备构成分布式协同场景，然后，该多个电子设备完成输入法协同后，可以组成一个设备群组。
在一些实施例中，可以设定同一个局域网中的多个电子设备构成分布式协同场景，然后，该多个电子设备完成输入法协同后，可以组成一个设备群组。
在一些实施例中，可以设定具有相同特定标识的多个电子设备构成分布式协同场景，然后，该多个电子设备完成输入法协同后，可以组成一个设备群组。
在另一些实施例中，还可以采用将上述组成设备群组的方式进行组合，得到设备群组。
可以理解的是，还可以有其他的组成设备群组的方式，本身申请实施例对此不作限定。
图1为本申请实施例中的设备群组的一个示意图。
如图1所示，该设备群组中包含智慧屏、手机、平板电脑等多个电子设备。其中，智慧屏是被辅助设备，手机、平板电脑等是辅助设备。手机、平板电脑可以协助智慧屏进行输入。
(2)设备状态：
本申请实施例中，一个电子设备作为辅助设备时，该电子设备的设备状态包括：忙碌、空闲、输入中。
当电子设备的设备状态为忙碌时，不可以进行辅助输入。例如，当电子设备开启其他不可以与辅助输入同时进行的进程时，电子设备为忙碌，例如通话进程，聊天进程等。
示例性的，图2a示出了电子设备的设备状态为忙碌时的一个示例性用户界面示意图。
如图2a所示，此时，电子设备开启通话进程，不可以协助被辅助设备进行输入。
当电子设备的设备状态为空闲时，可以进行辅助输入，但是此时电子设备并没有进行辅助输入。例如，电子设备没有开启任何进程时。
示例性的，图2b示出了电子设备的设备状态为空闲时的一个示例性用户界面示意图。
如图2b所示，此时，电子设备显示主界面(Home scree)，没有开启其他进程。
当电子设备的设备状态为输入中时，表示电子设备正在进行辅助输入。
示例性的，图2c示出了电子设备的设备状态为输入中时的一个示例性用户界面示意图。
如图2c所示，此时，电子设备的输入法被打开，正在进行辅助输入。
(3)设备状态信息：
本申请实施例中，设备状态信息用于表示设备群组中辅助设备的标识与设备状态的对应关系。该设备状态信息可以存储在被辅助设备的存储器中。
该辅助设备的标识用于在该设备群组中唯一标识一个辅助设备。
可选的，该辅助设备的标识可以为设备名称、设备物理地址、移动设备识别码(mobile  equipment identifier，MEID)，国际移动设备识别码(international mobile equipment identity，IMEI)中的一个或其组合等，此处不作限定。
示例性的，以IMEI为辅助设备的标识为例，如下表1为本申请实施例中该设备状态信息的一个示例：
电子设备的标识 设备状态
设备1的IMEI 忙碌
设备2的IMEI 空闲
设备3的IMEI 输入中
表1
从该表1所示的设备状态信息可以确定：设备1的设备状态为忙碌；设备2的设备状态为空闲和设备3的设备状态为输入中。
在一些实施例中，当设备群组中的任一辅助设备的设备状态从其他状态更新为忙碌时，可以触发被辅助设备删除设备状态信息中该辅助设备的信息。
在一些实施例中，当设备群组中的任一辅助设备的设备状态从其他状态更新为忙碌时，可以触发被辅助设备删除设备状态信息中，所有设备状态为忙碌的辅助设备的信息。
在一些实施例中，被辅助设备可以定期获取该设备信息，删除其中设备状态为忙碌的辅助设备的信息。
在另一些实施例中，当设备群组中有任一辅助设备退出该设备群组时，可以触发被辅助设备删除设备状态信息中该辅助设备的信息。
可以理解的是，表1仅仅为设备状态信息的一个示例性示意，在实际应用中，还可以用很多种其他不同的形式来存储设备状态信息，例如数组、矩阵、数据库等等，本申请实施例对此不作限定。
在一些实施例中，被辅助设备可以设置设备群组的辅助设备的初始设备状态为忙绿。
(4)设备优先级信息：
本申请实施例中，设备优先级信息用于表示设备群组中电子设备的标识与设备优先级的对应关系。该设备优先级信息可以存储在被辅助设备的存储器中。
其中，设备优先级是指被辅助电子设备与辅助电子设备之间进行辅助输入的顺序，在本申请实施例中，被辅助设备一次只能与一个辅助设备进行辅助输入，最先可以与被辅助设备进行辅助输入的辅助设备的设备优先级最高，依次类推。
可以将第一设备优先级记为“1”，第二设备优先级记为“2”，依次类推。也可以用其他的方式表示设备优先级，本申请实施例对此不作限定。
电子设备的标识与辅助设备的标识意义相同，用于在该设备群组中唯一标识一个电子设备。
示例性的，以IMEI为辅助设备的标识为例，如下表2为本申请实施例中该设备优先级信息的一个示例：
电子设备的标识 设备优先级
设备1的IMEI 1
设备2的IMEI 2
设备3的IMEI 3
表2
从该表2所示的设备优先级信息可以确定：设备1的设备优先级最高；设备2的设备优先级次之，设备3的设备优先级最低。
在一些实施例中，一个被辅助设备中存储的设备优先级信息中可以没有本机的设备优先级的信息。在另一些实施例中，一个被辅助设备中可以包括本机的设备优先级的信息。本申请实施例对此不作限定。
可以理解的是，表2仅仅为设备优先级信息的一个示例性示意，在实际应用中，还可以用很多种其他不同的形式来存储设备优先级信息，例如数组、矩阵、数据库等等，本申请实施例对此不作限定。
图3a-图3c示例性示出了一种方案中，辅助输入方法的一个场景示意图。
其中，第一电子设备为被辅助设备，第二电子设备为辅助设备。
如图3a所示，用户界面30a为第一电子设备的一个搜索界面，该搜索界面中可以显示输入框301，该输入框301用于显示电子设备已经获取的信息。
用户界面30b为第二电子设备的一个信息输入界面，该信息输入界面中可以显示输入法的键盘302，输入提示框303以及输入框304。
假设此时用户想输入的是文字信息是“你”，响应于用户在键盘302上的操作(如点击操作)，输入提示框303中可以显示跟用户的该操作对应的文字信息，例如；“你的我想有时间”。响应于用户在输入提示框303中选择文字“你”的操作(如点击操作)，输入框304中可以显示“你”这一文字信息304a。
第二电子设备可以将该文字信息304a发送给第一电子设备，然后，第一电子设备用户界面30a的输入框301中，可以显示该文字信息304a。
然后，如图3b的用户界面31b所示，在第二电子设备协助第一电子设备进行辅助输入时，第二电子设备接入电话。响应于用户在来电显示框311中的接听控件311a上的操作(例如点击操作)，电子设备可以开启通话进程，显示出如图3c所示的用户界面32b。
如图3c中的用户界面32b所示，此时，第二电子设备可以进行通话，不可以再协助第一电子设备进行输入。
可以理解的是，在该方案中，当第二电子设备的设备状态为忙碌时，无法协助第一电子设备进行输入。此时，第一电子设备也无法和其他的辅助设备进行辅助输入，这样，第一电子设备只能采用原有的输入方式进行输入，例如，通过遥控器进行输入。导致第一电子设备的输入效率低。
而采用本申请实施例提供的辅助输入方法，只要构成分布式协同场景的设备中，任一辅助设备的设备状态为空闲，就可以协助被辅助电子设备进行输入。
图4a和图4b示例性示出了为本申请实施例涉及的方案中，辅助输入方法的一个场景示意图。
本申请实施例中，第一电子设备为被辅助设备，第二电子设备为设备优先级最高的辅助设备，第三电子设备为第二设备优先级的辅助设备。
假设开始是第二电子设备协助第一电子设备进行输入，然后，第二电子设备开始进行通话。如图4a中的用户界面40b所示，第二电子设备因为进行通话而导致无法再协助第一电子 设备进行输入。此时，第一电子设备可以将用户界面40a中显示的输入框401中的文字信息401a发送给第二设备优先级的第三电子设备。然后，第三电子设备的用户界面40c中的输入框402中，可以显示文字信息401a。
当第二电子设备的设备状态为忙碌时，第三电子设备可以协助第一电子设备进行输入。响应于用户在图4a中所示的用户界面40c中显示的输入提示框403中的选择文字“的”的操作(例如点击操作)，第三电子设备可以显示如图4b所示的用户界面41c，该用户界面41c中可以显示输入框402，该输入框402中可以显示文字信息411a，第三电子设备可以将该文字信息411a发送给第一电子设备，如图4b中的用户界面41a所示，第一电子设备的输入框401中，可以显示该文字信息411a。此时，第二电子设备如图4b中的用户界面41b所示，设备状态为忙碌。
这样，采用本申请实施例中的辅助输入方法，被辅助设备可以按照设备优先级选择辅助设备对其进行辅助输入，只要设备群组中有任一个辅助设备的设备状态为输入中或者空闲，就可以协助被辅助设备进行输入。
下面以一组示例性用户界面为例，对本申请实施例中的辅助输入方法进行说明：
图5a-图5k为本申请实施例中的辅助输入方法的一组示例性用户界面。
假设此时，第一电子设备为被辅助电子设备，第二电子设备为第一设备优先级且设备状态为空闲的辅助设备，第三电子设备为第二设备优先级且设备状态为空闲的辅助设备。
如图5a-图5e所示，第一电子设备首先与第二电子设备进行辅助输入，当第二电子设备的设备状态为忙碌时，第一电子设备可以与第三电子设备进行辅助输入。
图5a所示，第一电子设备响应于用户选择用户界面50a中的输入框501的操作后，可以将该输入框501置灰。然后，响应于用户在遥控器中的确认键502上的操作(例如按压操作、点击操作等)，第一电子设备可以显示如图5b中示出的用户界面51a，在该用户界面51a中，输入框501中可以显示提示光标501a，该提示光标501a用于提示用户此时输入框501已经被确定为焦点输入框，当第一电子设备获取到信息时，则显示到该输入框501之中，且显示在该提示光标501a之后。
此时，第二电子设备的用户界面50b可以弹出提示框503，该提示框503中可以包括提示信息503a，同意控件503b，拒绝控件503c。该提示信息503a用于提示用户：“是否同意拉起本地输入，协助第一电子设备输入”。该同意控件503b用于第一电子设备同意拉起本地输入，协助第一电子设备输入。该拒绝控件503c用于第一电子设备拒绝拉起本地输入，协助第一电子设备输入。
响应于用户在该同意控件503b上的操作(如点击操作)，第二电子设备可以显示出如图5b所示的用户界面51b，该用户界面51b中可以显示输入框511，以及，第二电子设备的输入法的键盘512。该键盘512可以用于向第二电子设备输入文字信息，该输入框511可以用于第二电子设备显示键盘512输入的文字信息。
如图5b所示，响应于用户在键盘512上的操作(如点击操作)，第二电子设备可以显示出如图5c所示的用户界面52b，输入提示框521中可以显示跟用户的该操作对应的文字信息，例如；“你的我想有时间”。响应于用户在输入提示框521中选择文字“你”的操作(如点击操作)，输入框511中可以显示“你”这一文字信息511a。
第二电子设备可以将该文字信息511a发送给第一电子设备，然后，第一电子设备的用户界面52a中的输入框501中，可以显示该文字信息511a。
此时，如图5d所示，第二电子设备接入一个电话，响应于用户在用界面53b中的来电显示框531中的接听控件531a上的操作(例如点击操作)，电子设备可以开启通话进程，此时，第二电子设备的设备状态为忙碌，可以显示出如图5e所示的用户界面54b。此时，第一电子设备可以仍然显示用户界面52a。
可以理解的是，如图5a-图5d所示，当第一电子设备与第二电子设备进行辅助输入时，第三电子设备可以一直显示用户界面50c，第三电子设备的设备状态可以一直都是空闲，不能与第一电子设备进行辅助输入。
如图5e示出了第二电子设备进行通话时的一个用户界面54b。当第二电子设备开启通话进程时，设备状态从输入中切换成忙碌，第二电子设备不能再协助第一电子设备进行输入。
此时，第一电子设备可以继续显示用户界面52a。然后，第一电子设备可以与第二设备优先级的第三电子设备进行辅助输入。
如图5e所示，第三电子设备的用户界面54c可以弹出提示框541，该提示框541中可以包括提示信息541a，同意控件541b，拒绝控件541c。
响应于用户在该同意控件541b上的操作(如点击操作)，第一电子设备可以将输入框501中显示的文字信息511a发送给第三电子设备。然后，第三电子设备可以显示出如图5f所示的用户界面55c，该用户界面55c中可以显示输入框551，该输入框中可以显示文字信息511a，以及，第三电子设备的输入法的键盘552。
这样，当第二电子设备的设备切换至忙碌时，第一电子设备仍然可以选择其他的辅助设备进行辅助输入，并且将当前焦点输入框中的显示的信息发送给该其他的辅助设备，使得该其他的辅助设备可以在之前的基础上继续与第一电子设备进行辅助输入。
如图5f-图5k所示，第一电子设备与第三电子设备进行辅助输入，且设备优先级最高的第二电子设备的设备状态为空闲时，第一电子设备可以切换到第二电子设备进行辅助输入，也可以继续与第三电子设备进行辅助输入。
如图5f所示，响应于用户在键盘552上的操作(如点击操作)，第三电子设备可以显示出如图5g所示的用户界面56c，输入提示框561中可以显示跟用户的该操作对应的文字信息，例如；“的们的答案”。响应于用户在输入提示框561中选择文字“的”的操作(如点击操作)，输入框511中可以显示“你的”这一文字信息511b。
第三电子设备可以将该文字信息511b发送给第一电子设备，然后，第一电子设备的用户界面56a中的输入框501中，可以显示该文字信息511b。
可以理解的是，如图5e-图5g所示，当第一电子设备与第三电子设备进行辅助输入时，第二电子设备可以一直显示用户界面54b，这可以表示第二电子设备的设备状态一直都是忙碌，不能与第一电子设备进行辅助输入。
响应于图5g中所示的用户界面54b中显示的挂断控件562上的操作(如点击操作)，第二电子设备可以结束通话进程，显示出如图5h中所示的用户界面内57b。该用户界面57b为第二电子设备的主界面。
