Detailed ways

In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and technical effects of the present application clearer, the present application will be described in detail below with reference to each embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings. However, these described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without exerting creative efforts belong to this application. scope of protection.

At present, the development of electronic equipment is changing with each passing day, and differentiated positioning has led to various types of products derived from electronic equipment. Taking host equipment as an example, under the premise that the traditional computer composition structure remains unchanged, host equipment that meets different needs is designed based solely on the different positioning of screen sizes, such as mobile phones, tablets, laptops, all-in-one computers, etc. For users, they often choose to have multiple host devices at the same time to meet their daily needs. However, due to the lack of interconnection between multiple host devices, users are tired of switching back and forth, and the user experience is extremely poor. In order to improve users' cross-device collaboration, there will be some accessory devices that support the connection of multiple host devices to achieve unified control of multiple host devices. As shown in Figure 1, the mouse 101 can be connected to the notebook computer 111, the all-in-one computer 112, and the tablet computer 113 at the same time. In this scenario, one mouse can uniformly manage the cursor movement, clicking and other operations of the three host devices, thus There is no need to equip each host device with an additional mouse, which greatly improves collaboration.

Further, as shown in Figure 2, in this application, when the mouse 201 is connected to the notebook computer 211, the all-in-one machine 212, and the tablet computer 213 at the same time, the mouse 201 can also control the cursor on the notebook computer 211, the all-in-one machine 212, and the tablet computer 213. Seamless switching between . Optionally, the mouse 201 can also move and paste the selected files between host devices by dragging the cursor, such as dragging files from the laptop 211 to the all-in-one machine 212, without the support of cloud service synchronization. The implementation principle is that when a file in the graphical interface of the laptop 211 is dragged to the edge of the screen by the cursor controlled by the mouse, the dragged file is triggered to be transferred to the mouse 201 in the background, and then the file is transferred to the all-in-one machine 212 through the mouse 201 , corresponding files are displayed on the graphical interface of the all-in-one machine 212. The disadvantage of the above solution is that the connection between the accessory device and the host device is usually realized through low-speed communication protocols such as Bluetooth. The communication between the host device is relayed through the accessory device, which is very limited by the communication capabilities of the accessory device. For copying When pasting files with large amounts of data, this use Accessory devices are very slow to transfer and transfer, and the operating experience is not very smooth.

In some examples, in order to improve transmission efficiency, when the amount of data transmitted from one host device to another host device exceeds the first threshold, a direct connection channel can be established between the host device and the host device, and the transmission can be performed through the direct connection channel. In some examples, when the type of data transmitted from one host device to another host device meets the set type, a direct connection channel is established between the host device and the host device, and the transmission is performed through the direct connection channel. Specifically, in response to the cross-device operation of the accessory device, the files originally transferred through the accessory device are directly transferred in the direct connection channel established between the host devices. However, it should be noted that the automatic direct connection is not limited to meeting the requirements of The need for cross-device transmission of information triggered by accessory devices. As shown in Figure 2, compared to the transmission between the notebook computer 211 and the all-in-one machine 212 through the mouse 201, the direct connection method is to establish a direct connection channel between the notebook computer 211 and the all-in-one machine 212, as shown by the channel indicated by the dotted line. interact directly with each other. The direct connection method established between host devices can be WiFi P2P (Peer-to-Peer, point-to-point), Bluetooth connection, LAN connection, etc. The network information required to establish a direct connection can be obtained through the connected accessory device, which will be detailed below .

Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of the interaction architecture between the host device and the accessory device in some examples of this application. As shown in Figure 3, when the host device and the accessory device are connected, the host device can obtain the network information of other host devices connected to the accessory device, and then establish a connection with the corresponding host device based on the network information provided by the accessory device. Specifically, taking Bluetooth connection as an example, the Bluetooth connection established between the host device and the accessory device is established through the accessory management service 310 on the host side and the accessory management service 330 on the accessory end. When the establishment is completed, the collaborative networking service 320 and the accessory on the host end will be launched respectively. Collaborative networking service 340 works on the end. In some examples, the collaborative networking service 320 is used to manage the connection of the host device and send local network information to the collaborative networking service 340, specifically including a port broadcast module 321, an active connection module 322, and a connected accessory management module 323. , host information management module 324. Among them, the port broadcast module 321 is used to open a port to monitor the host device with which it initiates a connection, and sends a broadcast so that the local machine can be discovered by external host devices and can establish a connection. The connected accessory management module 323 is used to manage accessory devices connected thereto, such as mice, keyboards, etc., and obtain network information of the host device connected to the accessory device by interacting with the connected accessory device. The host information management module 324 is used to manage connected host devices and connectable host devices. The connectable host devices are determined according to the networking combination provided by the connected accessory device. The networking combination may include those managed by the corresponding accessory device. All host devices and corresponding network information, such as host devices based on connections to corresponding accessory devices. Accordingly, the host device connected to the accessory device is compared with the host device connected to the machine to generate a list of connectable host devices. The active connection module 322 is configured to proactively directly connect to the host devices in the list according to the list of connectable host devices provided by the host information management module 324 to further realize corresponding information interaction. In some examples, the collaborative networking service 340 is responsible for managing all connected host devices after the accessory device establishes a Bluetooth connection with the host device, and sending accessory connected host network information to the collaborative networking service 320. The collaborative networking service 340 It mainly includes a connected host network information management module 341. The connected host network information management module 341 obtains network information sent by the host device based on the connection with the host device. The network information is used to establish a directly connected network with the host device. Parameter information, optionally, network information includes IP address and port number, WiFi MAC (Media Access Control Address) address, Bluetooth MAC address, etc. The connected host network information management module 341 saves the above network information, and when other host devices are connected to itself, it can also transmit the saved network information to the corresponding host device.

Figure 4 is a flow chart of a host connection method in some examples of this application. As shown in Figure 4, the host connection method can be specifically applied to accessory devices, such as Bluetooth mice, Bluetooth keyboards, etc. The host connection method includes steps S401 and S402, wherein,

Step S401: The first accessory manages at least first network information of the first host, where the first network information is obtained by the first accessory based on the connection with the first host.

The first accessory includes a storage unit that stores network information of the host device. Between the first accessory and any host device After the connection is made, for example, the first host will receive the first network information sent by the first host to establish a connection with the first host, and the first accessory will save the first network information in the storage unit for other host devices. Sent to the corresponding host device when connecting. The first network information may include one or more of IP address and port number, WiFi MAC address, and Bluetooth MAC address, so that different direct connection methods can be selected according to different situations, such as realizing LAN connection through IP address and port number. , realize WiFi direct connection through WiFi MAC address, realize Bluetooth connection through Bluetooth MAC address, etc. Furthermore, the network information may include network information of different direct connection methods at the same time, set the priorities of different direct connection methods, and use the corresponding direct connection method preferentially according to different situations.

Optionally, the first accessory also manages third network information of a third host owned by the first host, and the third network information is obtained by the first accessory based on the connection with the first host. . For the first host, in actual application scenarios, it is not only connected to the first accessory, but also may be connected to the second accessory, and the second accessory is not only connected to the first host, but may also be connected to other host devices. For example, the third host. The network information of other host devices possessed by the first host can be derived from the network information of the connected host device provided by the first accessory, or can also be derived from the network information of the connected host device provided by the second accessory. Therefore, the first accessory can be obtained through the first host. The second accessory is connected to the third network information of the third host, thereby increasing the range of networking combinations.

It should be noted that when the first accessory establishes a connection with the first host, for example, a Bluetooth mouse establishes a Bluetooth connection with a laptop, the relevant configuration information of the mouse can be viewed through the laptop, such as the name and device type of the mouse, etc. Furthermore, you can also configure the mouse accordingly. As shown in Figure 6, after the mouse is connected to the laptop, the connected mouse configuration interface can be called up on the screen of the laptop to at least configure whether the laptop allows mouse-based direct connection to the host, that is, whether the laptop can Actively initiate connections with other host devices connected to the mouse, or agree to connections initiated by other host devices connected with the mouse. Correspondingly, it can refer to whether network information can be exchanged between the host device and the accessory device, that is, whether the host device can send messages to the accessory. The device sends its own network information, or the accessory device can send the network information of other host devices to the host device. Optionally, you can choose to obtain user authorization by flipping the switch. When the user configuration allows it, the user authorization is obtained. The laptop will send its own network information to the mouse. Other host devices connected to the mouse can also provide it through the mouse. network information to establish a connection with the laptop. When the user configuration is rejected, that is, user authorization has not been obtained. Even if the laptop is connected to the mouse, it will not actively send its own network information to the mouse. Correspondingly, other host devices connected to the mouse will not know the laptop based on this mouse. The presence. That is, for the host device connected to the accessory device, only the host device that has obtained user authorization will send network information to the accessory device, and the accessory device will share the network information of the host device in the connected network. In some examples, the host device can synchronize the received user authorization to the corresponding accessory device, so that the accessory device can determine whether network information can be exchanged with the corresponding host device. In some examples, the accessory device can also determine whether the corresponding host device can Send the network information of the host device to the accessory device itself to determine whether the corresponding host device has obtained user authorization. Optionally, for the accessory device, when it is connected to the host device, in some examples, the above configuration interface automatically pops up on the screen of the host device for the user to configure direct connection options. In some examples, By default, the host device is allowed or denied direct connection based on the accessory device. That is, when the host device is connected to the accessory device, the host device is triggered to automatically send network information to the accessory device, or network information is not sent to the corresponding accessory device. There is no direct connection. For any processing, users can call the corresponding configuration interface to change settings according to actual needs.

Step S402: The first accessory sends the first network information to at least a second host connected to the first accessory. The first network information is used for the second host to establish a connection with the first host. .

As described in step S401, the first accessory has at least first network information. The first accessory can distribute the first network information to any connected host device. The first host is connected to the first accessory, and the first accessory can also Return the first network information to the first host. More importantly, when there are other host devices connected to the first accessory, such as the second host, the An accessory sends the first network information to the second host. Optionally, the second host may also establish a connection with the first accessory before the first accessory obtains the first network information. At this time, the first accessory may update and send the second accessory to the second host based on the connected host device information. 1. Network information. After receiving the first network information, the second host can establish a connection with the first host based on the first network information. Optionally, when the second host receives the first network information, it does not necessarily establish a connection with the first host immediately. It can call the corresponding network information to establish a connection with the corresponding host device when the corresponding trigger condition is met. In some examples, the first accessory can trigger the first host to transmit data to the second host or trigger the second host to transmit data to the first host through control. If there is a data transmission requirement between the host devices, the data to be transmitted can be transmitted first. to the accessory device, and then forwarded by the accessory device to the corresponding host device. In some examples, in order to reduce the limitation on the transmission efficiency of the accessory device, when the first accessory is triggered, the second host can establish a connection with the first host based on the first network information provided by the first accessory. When the connection is successful, the second host can directly connect to the first host through the first accessory. A direct connection channel between one host and a second host carries out data transmission. Optionally, when the data transmission ends, the direct connection channel between the first host and the second host can also be closed. In some examples, when the first accessory triggers the transmission of data between the first host and the second host and the type of transmitted data conforms to a set type, the set type is, for example, a data type with a generally large amount of data, or In a specific scenario, a more appropriate data type is directly transmitted between host devices. The first accessory triggers the establishment of a connection between the first host and the second host. When the type of transmitted data does not meet the set type, the first accessory triggers the establishment of a connection between the first host and the second host. Data transmission between the host and the second host still transmits data through the first accessory. Optionally, no connection is established between the first host and the second host. In some examples, when the first accessory triggers the transmission of data between the first host and the second host and the amount of transmitted data exceeds a first threshold, the first threshold is used to determine the size of the data amount, and the third An accessory triggers the establishment of a connection between the first host and the second host. When the amount of data transmitted does not exceed the first threshold, the data transmission between the first host and the second host still transmits data through the first accessory. Optionally, no connection is established between the first host and the second host.

In some examples, the connection between host devices may require certain authentication requirements. When the second host initiates a connection to the first host, the first host may choose to agree to the initiated connection, complete the connection with it, or reject the initiated connection. , connection failure, this can improve the security of the connection between host devices and reduce other illegal connection requests. In some examples, the first accessory manages second network information of the second host, and the second network information is obtained by the first accessory based on the connection with the second host; the first accessory manages the second network information of the second host. The accessory sends the second network information to the first host, where the second network information is used by the first host to agree to the first connection initiated by the second host. After the first accessory obtains the second network information, the peer will send the second network information to the first host. The first host can also establish a connection with the second host based on the second network information. More importantly, when the second accessory When the second host initiates a first connection to the first host, the first host can determine the second host that meets the authority based on the second network information, thereby agreeing to the first connection initiated by the second host. Optionally, when another host device initiates a first connection to the first host and the network information of the corresponding host device is not consistent with the second network information, the corresponding first connection is rejected. It should be noted that since the first host and the second host are both connected to the first accessory and are in the networking combination of the first accessory, it can be determined based on the networking combination of the first accessory and the first host. The second host has the authority to legally initiate connections. Correspondingly, the first host and the second host in the networking combination must also exclude host devices with illegal connections. Optionally, the connection between the first accessory and the first host and the connection between the first accessory and the second host will be established only when the authentication is successful. For example, when a Bluetooth keyboard makes a Bluetooth connection with the corresponding host device, corresponding verification is required. Code authentication, the connection will be established only when the authentication is successful. This authentication relationship between the host device and the accessory device can be reasonably extended to multiple host devices connected to the same accessory device, because usually, the user of the accessory device and The host device users connecting to the accessory device are the same or belong to the same user group. Therefore, the connection logic based on the accessory device makes the host devices in the entire network combination within the same permission range. This is completely different from the permission management based on the same account. , effectively utilizing the implicit information in actual application scenarios and improving management flexibility.

Figure 5 is a flow chart of a host connection method in some examples of this application. As shown in Figure 5, the host connection method can specifically To be applied to host devices, such as notebook computers, tablet computers, all-in-one computers, etc., the host connection method includes steps S501 and step S502, wherein,

Step S501: The first host receives the second network information of the second host sent by the first accessory. The first host is connected to the first accessory. The second network information is the first accessory based on the connection with the first accessory. The connection of the second host is obtained.

In some examples, the first host sends the first network information of the first host to the first accessory, so that at least a second host connected to the first accessory obtains the first network information. For the first host, when a first accessory is connected to the first host, the first network information of the first host is sent to the first accessory. Optionally, the first host may not immediately send the first network information to the first accessory when connected to the first accessory. The first host needs to determine the destination based on the user authorization for exchanging network information between the first host and the first accessory. The first accessory sends the first network information. As shown in Figure 6, when the first accessory is successfully connected to the first host, it will be selected through the corresponding configuration interface whether the first host needs direct connection based on the first accessory. If not, the switch will be turned off and the first host will The first network information will not be sent to the first accessory. If yes, the switch is turned on, and the opening operation triggers the first host to send the first network information to the first accessory based on the connection with the first accessory. After receiving the first network information, the first accessory can store and distribute the first network information. When the second host is connected to the first accessory, the first accessory can send the first network information to the second host. , optionally, when the second host obtains the user authorization for exchanging network information between the second host and the first accessory, the corresponding user authorization can be obtained by the first accessory, for example, the authorization information is synchronized and obtained. The second host actively sends the second network information, and the first accessory sends the first network information to the second host. When the second host does not obtain the user authorization for the second host to exchange network information with the first accessory, The first accessory does not send the first network information to the second host.

Peer-to-peer, when the second host is connected to the first accessory, it can also send the second network information of the second host to the first accessory based on the connection relationship between the two. The first accessory can also send the second network information of the second host to the first accessory based on the connection with the first host. The second network information is sent to the first host. Therefore, the first host can receive the second network information of the second host. If it is determined that the first host has not established a connection with the second host, the first host determines that the second host is the first host. The host device can be connected to the host device, and then the first host can establish a connection with the second host according to the second network information. In some examples, when the first host establishes a connection with the second host, the second host initiates the first connection, and the first host agrees to the first connection initiated by the second host based on the second network information. Further, when receiving the first connection request from the second host, the first host will also authenticate the identity of the second host, and optionally determine whether the second host is connected to the same accessory device as the first host. If so, , then the first connection initiated by the second host is accepted; if not, the first connection initiated by the second host is rejected. In some examples, the first host initiates a second connection to the second host according to the second network information, so that the first host establishes a connection with the second host. Optionally, the network information includes one or more of IP address and port number, WiFi MAC address, and Bluetooth MAC address. Select the specific network information to determine the specific direct connection method.

In some examples, the first host not only connects to the first accessory, but also connects to the second accessory. For example, an all-in-one machine is connected to a Bluetooth mouse and a Bluetooth keyboard at the same time. After obtaining the network of other host devices managed by the connected Bluetooth mouse, After receiving the information, it will also exchange network information with the connected Bluetooth keyboard. Optionally, the first host receives the third network information of the third host sent by the second accessory, the first host is connected to the second accessory, and the third network information is based on the second accessory. The connection with the third host is obtained; the first host establishes a connection with the third host according to the third network information. Optionally, the first host sends the first network information of the first host to the second accessory, so that at least a third host connected to the second accessory obtains the first network information. The first host can be directly connected not only to the host device connected to the first accessory, but also to the host device connected to the second accessory, thereby expanding the scope of direct connection.

Optionally, the first host also sends network information of other host devices owned by the first host to the first accessory. Since the first host can connect to multiple accessory devices, such as the first accessory and the second accessory, other host devices owned by the first host The network information may include network information of the host device connected to the first accessory and network information of the host device connected to the second accessory. In some examples, the host device connected to the second accessory may not be connected to the first accessory. For the second host connected to the first accessory, the first host does not send the network information of other host devices it has to the second accessory. When the first accessory is used, the second host cannot directly connect to the host device connected to the second accessory, because the second host cannot obtain the network information of these host devices through the first accessory. Correspondingly, the first host sends the third network information to the first accessory, so that the second host obtains the third network information. The third network information is the third host connected to the second accessory. This can greatly increase the range of directly connected host devices. The networking combination of the first accessory and the second accessory is also unified in usage scenarios and still has a certain relevance.

In some examples, when the first host and the second host receive each other's network information, they do not immediately establish a connection, but perform the connection based on the trigger of the first accessory or the second accessory. The trigger of the accessory instructs the first host to transmit data to the second host or the second host to transmit data to the first host. When there is a transmission requirement, the first host is triggered to establish a connection with the second host. In some examples, when the first accessory or the second accessory triggers the first host to transmit data to the second host or receive transmission data from the second host and the type of transmission data matches the set type, it is set A certain type is, for example, a data type that generally has a large amount of data, or a data type that is more suitable for direct transmission between host devices in a specific scenario. The first host establishes a connection with the second host, and the type of data to be transmitted does not matter. When the set type is met, the data transmission between the first host and the second host still transmits data through the first accessory, and the first host does not establish a connection with the second host. In some examples, when the first accessory or the second host triggers the first host to transmit data to the second host or receive transmission data from the second host and the amount of transmitted data exceeds the first threshold, The first threshold is used to determine the amount of data. The first host establishes a connection with the second host. When the amount of data to be transmitted does not exceed the first threshold, the data transmission between the first host and the second host still passes through the first The accessory transmits data and optionally the first host does not establish a connection with the second host.

Figure 6 is a schematic diagram of the host direct connection configuration interface in some examples of this application. As shown in Figure 6, whenever the accessory device establishes a connection with the host device, there will be a corresponding configuration interface, which can be configured freely by flipping the switches on the configuration interface. When the configuration allows direct connection based on the corresponding accessory device, the corresponding host device can exchange network information with the connected accessory device, and can also establish connections with other host devices based on the network information of other host devices provided by the corresponding accessory device. Furthermore, after the corresponding host device has established a connection with other host devices, the configuration shown in Figure 6 can still be modified, that is, the mouse-based direct connection option is turned off. At this time, the corresponding host device automatically disconnects from other host devices. Open the connection, and optionally notify the connected accessory device to delete the network information of the machine. If you need to re-establish a connection with another host device, you can turn the Allow mouse-based direct connections option back on.

As shown in Figure 7, in some examples, such as WiFi P2P direct connection, host A, after receiving the network information of host B, where the network information includes the WiFi MAC address of host B, acts as the initiator to host B (receiving end) Initiate a connection and prepare to establish a WiFi direct connection with host B. Host B can implement step S701 monitoring through the port broadcast module 321 shown in Figure 3. Host A initiates step S702 scanning based on host B's network information. When host B receives a connection request from host A during the monitoring process, if host A receives connection, host A responds to step S703. Host A determines that the device has been found in step S704, enters step S705, and connects to host B. Host B implements step S706 to respond to host A that the channel is successfully established, and enters step S707 to complete the connection. . After host A and host B establish a direct connection channel, they can directly exchange information. Since the connection between host A and host B is completely automatic, the user experience is greatly improved.

As shown in Figure 8, in some examples, host A and host B can establish connections with the accessory through Bluetooth. In the connected state, the accessory can implement information exchange with host A and host B respectively. In step S811, the host A establishes a Bluetooth connection with the accessory. In this example, after the host A successfully connects with the accessory, by default, the host A can immediately share the network information of the host with the accessory. information, accordingly, step S812 sends the host A network information to the accessory. The accessory saves the host A network information in the accessory connected host network information, and sends the accessory connected host network information to the connected host device according to the connection status of the accessory. Correspondingly, step S813 sends the host A network information to the host A, because At this time, the network information of the accessory connected to the host only contains the network information of host A. In step S821, host B and the accessory also establish a Bluetooth connection. After the connection is successful, host B sends host B network information to the accessory through step S822. At this time, the accessory has connected to the host. The network information not only contains the network information of host A, but also updates Add the network information of host B, and send the updated accessory connected host network information including the network information of host A and the network information of host B to host B and host A through steps S823 and S824 respectively. Optionally, the accessory sends the accessory connected host network information after sending the accessory connected When receiving host network information, you can delete the network information of the corresponding host device from the host network information connected to the accessory based on the received host device object to reduce redundancy. In steps S831 and S832, after receiving the information that the accessory is connected to the host network, host A and host B compare the accessory with the connected host device and determine the unconnected host device as a connectable host device. In this example, for host A, host B is a connectable host device, and for host B, host A is a connectable host device. Therefore, step S833 is entered, and host A and host B establish a direct connection. For example, host A according to The network information that can be connected to host B initiates a connection to host B, or host B initiates a connection to host A based on the network information that can be connected to host A. After the connection is completed between host A and host B, they can directly exchange information with each other.

As shown in Figure 9, in some examples, when the host device connects with the accessory device, it does not share its own network information with the accessory device by default. That is, the host device needs to be authorized by the user before it can realize the communication with other host devices. Direct connection steps. After host A and host B establish a Bluetooth connection with the accessory, the accessory can normally control the operation of host A and host B. The accessory does not store the network information of host A and host B and needs to wait for the user's authorization operation. Step S911: The user performs a direct connection operation on host A, and host A can automatically establish a direct connection with other host devices. Host A sends host A network information to the accessory through step S912 under direct connection authorization. The accessory saves host A network information in the accessory connected host network information, and sends accessory connected including host A network information to host A through step S913. Host network information. In step S921, the user also performs the operation of allowing direct connection to host B. Host B sends host B network information to the accessory through step S922. At this time, the accessory has been connected to the host network information update, including host A network information and host B network information. The updated accessory connected host network information is sent to host B and host A through steps S923 and S924 respectively. Optionally, when the accessory sends the accessory connected host network information, the corresponding host device object can be The network information of the device is deleted from the network information of the host connected to the accessory to reduce redundancy. In steps S931 and S932, after receiving the accessory-connected host network information including the network information of host A and the network information of host B, host A and host B compare the host devices with which they are connected, and compare the host devices with which they are not connected. The host device is determined to be a host device that it can connect to. In this example, for host A, host B is a connectable host device, and for host B, host A is a connectable host device. Therefore, step S933 is entered. Host A and host B establish a direct connection. Host A and host B After the connection is completed, B can directly exchange information with each other.

As shown in Figure 10, in some examples, similar to the example in Figure 8, host A triggers sending host A network information to the accessory after establishing a Bluetooth connection through steps S1011 to S1013 and obtains the accessory connected host network information returned by the accessory. (including host A network information), host B triggers the sending of host B network information to the accessory after establishing a Bluetooth connection through steps S1021 to S1023 and obtains the accessory connected host network information returned by the accessory (including host A, host B network information) , since the network information of the host B has been updated in the accessory connected host network information, the updated accessory connected host network information will also be returned to the host A through step S1024. Host A can know that host B is a connectable host device through the accessory connected host network information provided by the accessory. Correspondingly, host B can know that host A is a connectable host device through the accessory connected host network information provided by the accessory. However, In this example, when it is determined that there is a connectable host device, the direct connection is not established immediately, but when the direct connection requirement is triggered, the direct connection is established. in steps S1031. Host A triggers connection to host B. Step S1032. Host B triggers connection to host A. Since the host devices triggered by host A and host B to connect are all host devices that can be connected to this machine, step S1033 is entered. Host A and host B Direct connection, at this time, the corresponding information interaction can be implemented in response to the demand for triggering the connection. Optionally, if the corresponding connection demand disappears, the corresponding connection can also be disconnected.

As shown in Figure 11, in some examples, similar to the example in Figure 9, host A and host B normally establish Bluetooth connections with the accessory, and host A and host B receive the user's information about the accessory in the local machine in the state of Bluetooth connection. Direct connection authorization operation. After receiving the user's permission to directly connect through steps S1111 to S1113, host A triggers sending the host A network information to the accessory and obtains the accessory connected host network information (including host A network information) returned by the accessory. Host B goes through steps S1121 to Step S1123 triggers the sending of the host B network information to the accessory after receiving the user's permission for direct connection and obtains the accessory connected host network information (including host A and host B network information) returned by the accessory. The accessory connected host network information has been increased due to the update. The network information of host B is obtained, so the updated accessory connected host network information is also returned to host A through step S1124. Host A can know that host B is a connectable host device through the accessory connected host network information provided by the accessory. Correspondingly, host B can know that host A is a connectable host device through the accessory connected host network information provided by the accessory. However, In this example, when it is determined that there is a connectable host device, the direct connection is not established immediately, but when the direct connection requirement is triggered, the direct connection is established. In step S1131, host A triggers connection to host B, and in step S1132, host B triggers connection to host A. Since the host devices triggered by host A and host B to connect are both host devices that the machine can connect to, step S1133 is entered. Host A and Host B is directly connected. At this time, the corresponding information interaction can be implemented in response to the demand for triggering the connection. Optionally, if the corresponding connection demand disappears, the corresponding connection can also be disconnected.

As shown in Figure 12, in some examples, host A and host B normally establish Bluetooth connections with the accessory, and realize ordinary information interaction under the operation of the accessory. When the accessory triggers the need to establish a direct connection channel between host A and host B, step S1201 is used to send an instruction to host A to trigger host A to connect to host B, and step S1202 is used to send an instruction to host B to trigger host B to connect to host A. At this time, the direct connection step of host A and host B is activated. Host A sends host A network information to the accessory through step S1203, and host B sends host B network information to the accessory through step S1204. Correspondingly, the accessory receives the network information of host A and the network information of host B respectively and saves them in the network information of the host connected to the accessory, and then sends the network information of host A and the network information of host B to host A and host B respectively through step S1205. The accessory is connected to the host network information of the information. Host A can determine the network information of host B to be connected after receiving the accessory connected host network information. Host B can determine the network information of host A to be connected after receiving the accessory connected host network information. , therefore, host A and host B are directly connected through step S1206. After the connection is completed, direct information exchange can be performed with each other.

As shown in Figure 13, in some examples, the mouse 1302 establishes Bluetooth connections with the all-in-one machine 1311 and the all-in-one machine 1312 respectively. The mouse 1302 can control the cursor on the all-in-one machine 1311 to operate, and can also control the cursor on the all-in-one machine 1312 to operate. . In order to realize the seamless switching of the mouse 1302 between the all-in-one machine 1311 and the all-in-one machine 1312, there needs to be an information exchange channel between the all-in-one machine 1311, the mouse 1302, and then the all-in-one machine 1312, at least when the mouse 1302 is ready to control the all-in-one machine 1311 When the cursor moves toward the all-in-one machine 1312, the all-in-one machine 1311 transfers the corresponding cursor position information to the all-in-one machine 1312 through the mouse 1302. Furthermore, in this example, when the mouse 1302 is preparing to drag the file 1303 on the all-in-one machine 1311 to the all-in-one machine 1312, from the display effect of the user interface, the file 1303 moves across the screen between the two host devices, but in the background The operating mechanism is to send the file 1303 from the all-in-one machine 1311 to the all-in-one machine 1312. As mentioned above, since there is an information exchange channel between the all-in-one machine 1311, the mouse 1302, and the all-in-one machine 1312, the file 1303 can be transmitted to the all-in-one machine 1312 through this channel. However, the above-mentioned transmission method is not efficient, so it can be determined whether the data amount of the file 1303 exceeds the first threshold. When it exceeds the first threshold, the transmission from the mouse 1302 is given up, and the data is sent to the all-in-one machine 1311 and the all-in-one machine 1312. The instruction triggers direct transmission of information from the all-in-one machine 1311 to the all-in-one machine 1312. Specifically, when the file 1303 is dragged by the mouse 1302 from the all-in-one machine 1311 on the left to the right of the all-in-one machine 1311 When the edge of the screen triggers transmission, the all-in-one machine 1311 can obtain the URI1 (Uniform Resource Identifier, Uniform Resource Identifier) of the file 1303 through the clipboard. Since the data volume of the URI1 does not exceed the first threshold, the URI1 can be sent directly through the mouse 1302 To the all-in-one machine 1312, optionally, information whose data volume does not exceed the first threshold can also be transmitted through the direct connection channel established between the host devices. After receiving URI1, the all-in-one machine 1312 replaces it with URI2 and injects it into the clipboard of the all-in-one machine 1312. The all-in-one machine 1312 searches for the resource of the file 1303 through URI2. The file transfer service requests the all-in-one machine 1311 to transfer the file 1303 to the all-in-one machine 1312 according to the mapping relationship between URI1 and URI2. Accordingly, the all-in-one machine 1311 obtains the network information of the all-in-one machine 1312 through the connection with the mouse 1302, or the all-in-one machine 1312 obtains the network information of the all-in-one machine 1312 through the connection with the mouse 1302. The connection of 1302 obtains the network information of the all-in-one machine 1311. The all-in-one machine 1311 and the all-in-one machine 1312 establish a direct connection channel. Then the file 1303 can be sent from the all-in-one machine 1311 to the all-in-one machine 1312 through this direct connection channel, so that on the all-in-one machine The icon of file 1303 and the cursor for dragging file 1303 are displayed on the screen of 1312, and the mouse 1302 is also switched to the all-in-one machine 1312 for continuous control.
