The drag operation is a drag operation triggered by the user in the connection management interface. The electronic device detects a long-press operation triggered on the connection management interface, and switches the multiple electronic devices from a non-dragable state to a draggable state. In the draggable state, the electronic device displays a moving process of the first electronic device based on the drag operation.

In response to that the current dragged position of the first electronic device coincides with the position of the target device group, the electronic device determines that the first electronic device is dragged to the target device group. Referring to FIG. 5, after the first electronic device is dragged to the target device group, the electronic device determines a second electronic device in the device group for establishing a connection with the first electronic device, based on the first electronic device and the second electronic device The electronic device generates a connection establishment request, and sends the connection establishment request to the server.

Step S203: the server receives the connection establishment request.

When the device group includes one electronic device, the electronic device implements steps S201-S204 to establish a connection between the first electronic device and the second electronic device in the target device group.

If the target device group also includes other electronic devices, the electronic device determines whether to establish a connection between the first electronic device and the second electronic device based on the function of the third electronic device in the target device group.

In the case that the function of the third electronic device is different from that of the first electronic device, the first electronic device establishes a connection with the second electronic device through the above steps S201-S204. In the case that the function of the third electronic device is the same as that of the first electronic device, the electronic device may determine whether to establish a connection between the first electronic device and the second electronic device in the following ways.

Step S602: In response to the first electronic device being dragged to the target device group, the electronic device determines whether there is a third electronic device having the same first function as the first electronic device among the plurality of electronic devices.

Wherein, the first function is a function that can be realized by the first electronic device. For example, the first function is an audio playback function, a video playback function, a control function, and the like.

When the target device group includes multiple electronic devices, the electronic device determines the second electronic device from the multiple device identifiers of the target device group, where the second electronic device is a data sending end. For other electronic devices in the plurality of electronic devices except the second electronic device, the electronic device executes step S603.

Step S603: In the case that the target device group includes the third electronic device, display the priorities of the first electronic device and the third electronic device, the priority is used to represent the capability of the first function, and the priority of the first electronic device is displayed. Both the third electronic device and the first electronic device have the first function.

Wherein, the priority of the electronic device corresponding to each function may be the default of the system, or may be set by the user based on the connection management interface. In some embodiments, the connection management interface displays a device priority configuration table, and the device priority configuration table displays priorities corresponding to different electronic devices. The user can input the corresponding priorities of different electronic devices under different functions in the device priority configuration table.

For example, a TV can display higher-definition videos than a tablet computer, so the video playback priority can be set so that the TV is higher than the tablet computer. The audio is more suitable for playing audio than the mobile phone. Therefore, the priority of playing audio can be set so that the audio is higher than that of the mobile phone.

Wherein, the electronic device displays a selection interface, the priorities of the first electronic device and the third electronic device are displayed in the selection interface, and in response to a selection operation for any electronic device, the electronic device corresponding to the selection operation determines the The second electronic device establishes a connection with the electronic device.

Step S604: In response to the selection operation of the first electronic device, the electronic device sends a first connection establishment request to the server to instruct the first electronic device to establish a connection with the second electronic device to perform the first function.

The selection operation may be a click operation on the device identifier of the first electronic device or the like.

Wherein, the principle that the electronic device indicates to establish the connection between the first electronic device and the second electronic device through the first connection establishment request is the same as that in step S202, the electronic device indicates to establish the connection between the first electronic device and the second electronic device through the connection establishment request. The principle of the connection between the electronic devices is the same and will not be repeated here.

It should be noted that, in response to the selection operation of the third electronic device, the electronic device maintains the connection between the second electronic device and the third electronic device, and the electronic device does not add the first electronic device to the target device group.

Step S605: the server receives the first connection establishment request.

The principle of this step is the same as that of step S203, and will not be repeated here.

Step S606: The server controls the first electronic device to establish a connection with the second electronic device based on the first connection establishment request.

The principle of this step is the same as that of step S204, and will not be repeated here.

It should be noted that, the electronic device is in the target device group, and the first electronic device is displayed. This process is the same as the principle of displaying the first electronic device when the electronic device is in the target device group in step S204, and details are not repeated here.

In addition, when the target device group further includes electronic devices for realizing other functions, the electronic device also displays the other electronic devices in the target device group. Referring to Figure 7, the target device group includes electronic device A and electronic device B, and the connection management interface also includes electronic device C and electronic device D. Drag and drop electronic device C into the target device group, and the target electronic device The manner of displaying multiple electronic devices in the device is the same as the principle of displaying multiple electronic devices in the device group in step S201 , which will not be repeated here.

Another point that needs to be explained is that when the target device group also includes electronic devices for realizing other functions, the second electronic device in the target device group sends multiple electronic devices in the device group based on the functions corresponding to different electronic devices An electronic device sends data of the type corresponding to the function.

In some embodiments, the second electronic device and other electronic devices are provided with a distributed service, and the second electronic device used to send data can call the distributed service module to other electronic devices based on the distributed service corresponding to the distributed service. The proxy module sends corresponding data. Referring to Fig. 8, when the second electronic device is connected with two electronic devices, where the two other electronic devices are respectively used to play video data and audio data, then the second electronic device calls the module to the other two based on the distributed service The electronic device sends video data and audio data, and other electronic devices receive the video data and audio data through the service agent module.

It should be noted that the second electronic device may also send corresponding types of data to other electronic devices through the server. Correspondingly, the second electronic device sends data corresponding to various functions to the server, and the server sends corresponding data to other electronic devices based on the function of each electronic device.

Step S607: the electronic device sends a first connection disconnection request to the server, and the first connection disconnection request is used to instruct to disconnect the connection between the second electronic device and the third electronic device.

Wherein, the first disconnection request includes device identifications of the second electronic device and the third electronic device. Correspondingly, the electronic device generates a first connection disconnection request based on the device identifiers of the second electronic device and the third electronic device, and sends the first connection disconnection request to the server.

Step S608: the server receives the first connection disconnection request.

Step S609: the server controls the second electronic device to disconnect from the third electronic device based on the first connection disconnection request.

In this step, the server determines the second electronic device and the third electronic device to be disconnected based on the first connection disconnection request, and controls the second electronic device and the third electronic device to disconnect.

In some embodiments, the server sends a disconnection indication to the second electronic device, the disconnection indication carries the device identifier of the third electronic device, and the disconnection indication is used to indicate that the second electronic device is disconnected from the third electronic device. Open the short-distance communication connection. Or, the server sends a disconnection instruction to the third electronic device, the disconnection instruction carries the device identifier of the second electronic device, and the disconnection instruction is used to instruct the third electronic device to disconnect the short-distance communication with the second electronic device connect. In some embodiments, the server deletes the stored association relationship between the second electronic device and the third electronic device. This prevents both the first electronic device and the third electronic device from realizing the same function corresponding to the second electronic device, and prevents mutual influence between devices caused by realizing the same function through multiple devices.
