Refer to Figure 4, which is a schematic flowchart of a cross-device connection method provided by an embodiment of the present application. Among them, the method includes the following steps:

110. In response to the connection triggering operation, display the connection identification and at least one device identification.

When the user performs operations on the terminal device, such as clicking, sliding, etc., the cross-device connection method provided in the embodiments of the present application can be triggered. Therefore, the user's operation can be understood as a connection triggering operation.

In response to the user's connection triggering operation, the terminal device displays the connection identification and at least one device identification. For example, the terminal device can generate a control and display the control as a continuation identifier. The connection identifier is used to characterize the object to be connected. The object to be connected can be an application, a task in the application, a service in the application, a file, and other objects that support cross-device connection. It should be noted that the type of object to be connected does not constitute a limitation on this application. As long as it is an object that can support connection between different devices, the cross-device connection method provided by the embodiment of this application can be applied. In the above applications, applications The tasks, services, and files in the application are just examples.

In response to the user's subsequent triggering operation, the terminal device may also display at least one device identification. The device identifier is used to represent an electronic device that has established a connection relationship with the terminal device, such as an electronic device that has established a connection relationship through short-range communication, and a device that has established a connection relationship through a server.

The terminal device may obtain a list of devices that can connect to the object to be connected, and the device list includes at least one electronic device. In practical applications, other electronic devices that have established a connection relationship with the terminal device and have access permissions for applications, files and other connectable objects can be included in the device list. For example, devices that have been connected to the terminal device in the near field, family account devices that have been added with corresponding permissions, other discoverable devices that have been added with corresponding permissions, etc., can all be included in the device list.

After the terminal device obtains the device list, it can display the device identification of each electronic device in the device list. Among them, the device identification may be a device name, device model, icon, etc. used to characterize the electronic device.

The terminal device displays the connection logo and device logo. On the one hand, it responds to the user's connection triggering operation. On the other hand, it also allows the user to more intuitively observe the specific situation of the object to be connected and the electronic devices available for connection. Device, based on which the user can confirm whether the object to be connected is the connection object that he wants to trigger, thus avoiding unnecessary cross-device connections caused by user misoperation.

In practical applications, for example, the user can perform a sliding operation on the file interface shown in Figure 3, and the sliding operation is a subsequent triggering operation. After the terminal device detects the user's sliding operation, it displays the connection logo and the device logo in response to the user's connection triggering operation. For example, a control or icon can be displayed to indicate that the file displayed on the terminal device is about to be connected, and Display multiple device IDs. The user can then perform further operations to complete the cross-device connection method.

120. In response to the directional operation of the connection identification toward the target device identification in the at least one device identification, determine the target connection device.

After the terminal device displays the connection identification and at least one device identification, the user can perform further operations on the connection identification. The user's operation at this time needs to move from the connection identification toward the target device identification in the at least one device identification. This operation can be understood as a directional operation from the connection identification toward the target device identification in the at least one device identification to confirm the need. The target connection device for the connection. The directional operation may be a sliding operation, which is used to select the target device identification. The target device identifier is one or more of the at least one device identifier. The target device identifier is used to characterize the target connection device. The target device identifier may be, for example, an icon, a control, or other identifiers. The target connection device is an electronic device that is about to connect the object to be connected. After detecting the user's directional operation, the terminal device can determine the target connection device in response to the user's directional operation.

In practical applications, for example, the terminal device can display three device identifiers that can support connection, and the user can slide toward one of the device identifiers to select the device identifier as the target device identifier, so that the terminal device can The electronic device corresponding to the target device identification is determined as the target connection device.

It should be noted that in actual applications, the user's subsequent triggering operation and directional operation may be included in the same operation. For example, the user can perform only one sliding operation, the previous part of the sliding operation can be used as a subsequent triggering operation, and the part after the sliding operation can be used as a directional operation. The terminal device only needs to respond to the sliding operation twice, that is, respond to the first part of the sliding operation to display the connection identification and device identification, and respond to the subsequent part of the sliding operation to determine the target connection device. In this case, for the user, the user only needs to perform one operation to complete the cross-device connection, so the user's operation can be simplified to a great extent and the user's experience can be improved.

130. Send first data to the target connection device, where the first data is used for the target connection device to connect the object to be connected.

After the terminal device determines the target connection device, it can send the first data to the target connection device. The first data is used for the target connection device to connect the object to be connected. The first data may include data of the object to be connected, attribute data of the object to be connected, instructions, and so on.

For example, if the object to be connected is an application, such as a social networking application, the first data sent may include attribute data such as application identification, account information logged in to the application, running status of the application on the terminal device, etc., so that the target connection device receives These data can then be used to continue the application, such as running the social application, logging in to the account information, and jumping to the running status corresponding to the account information.

For another example, if the object to be connected is a task in an application, the first data sent may include attribute data such as application identification and task identification, and may also include running instructions, so that the target connection device can respond accordingly after receiving these data. The task continues. For example, the object to be connected can be an audio playback task in a video playback application (which plays both images and audio when playing a video). The target connection device can be a speaker. After receiving the first data, the speaker can continue the audio. Play mission. Subsequently, the video playback application on the terminal device can only play the image, and connect the audio to the speaker for playback to complete cross-device connection.

For another example, if the object to be connected is a service in an application, the first data sent may include attribute data such as application identification and service identification, and may also include running instructions, so that the target connection device can respond accordingly after receiving these data. The service continues. For example, if the object to be connected is a web browsing service in a social application (such as browsing Moments), and the target connection device is a notebook, then after receiving the first data, the notebook can open the web page that needs to be browsed to complete the connection of the web browsing service. .

For another example, if the object to be connected is a file, such as a document file, the first data sent may include the data of the file itself and the reading progress of the file on the terminal device and other attribute data, so that the target connection device can receive the data. Continue the file accordingly, for example, open the file and jump to the reading progress.

For another example, if multiple files are opened on the terminal device, the objects to be connected may be part of the multiple files, for example, one or several of the multiple files. At this time, the first data sent may include the data of the part of the file itself and attribute data such as the reading progress on the terminal device. After receiving the first data, the target connection device can connect the part of the file. Therefore, it is possible to realize that some files among multiple files on the terminal device can be connected on the target connection device.

In practical applications, at any feasible time point after the user triggers the cross-device connection method, for example, after the terminal device displays the connection identification and device identification, the terminal device can extract the first data in the background, and after determining the target connection device, send the data to the The target connection device sends the first data. After the target connection device receives the first data, it can connect the object to be connected accordingly.

In one example, refer to FIG. 5 , which is a schematic diagram of the fourth application scenario of the cross-device connection method provided by the embodiment of the present application. Among them, the object to be connected is a file, and the target connection device is a tablet computer. Figure 5 shows the display interface of the tablet computer after the file is connected. The file is displayed on the terminal device and then displayed on the tablet computer as shown in Figure 3. Therefore, the user can easily switch from reading files on the terminal device to reading files on the target connection device.

It can be understood that in the cross-device connection system, after the terminal device sends the first data to the target connection device, the target connection device receives the first data, and then can connect the object to be connected based on the first data, for example, on the target connection device Connect applications, tasks, services, files, etc. to complete cross-device connections.

It should be noted that after the object to be connected is connected on the target connection device, the terminal device can exit the object to be connected, or it can continue to run without exiting the object to be connected. For example, if the object to be connected is a social application, after the social application is connected on the target connection device, the terminal device can exit the social application. For another example, if the object to be connected is a file, after the file is connected on the target connection device, the terminal device can continue to display the file. After the object to be connected is connected on the target connection device, whether to exit the object to be connected on the terminal device can be determined according to the actual application scenario, and this application does not specifically limit this.

In the cross-device connection method provided by the embodiment of the present application, the terminal device can display the connection identification and device identification according to the user's connection triggering operation, determine the target connection device according to the user's directional operation, and send the first data to the target connection device, so that the object to be connected can be connected on the target connection device. Therefore, users only need to perform simple operations to connect applications, tasks, services, files and other types of objects to be connected on the target connection device, which can not only realize the connection of applications, tasks, services, files, but also simplify the user operation to improve the convenience of connecting between different devices.

In some embodiments, step 110: In response to the connection triggering operation, displaying the connection identification and at least one device identification includes the following steps:

Generate a thumbnail of the currently displayed interface;

Display the thumbnail as a continuation mark.

When the user performs a connection triggering operation on the terminal device, for example, when performing a connection triggering operation on the display interface of an application or file, the terminal device can generate a thumbnail of the current display interface and display the thumbnail as a connection identifier. In one example, as shown in Figure 6, Figure 6 is a schematic diagram of the fifth application scenario of the cross-device connection method provided by the embodiment of the present application. Among them, the terminal device generates a thumbnail image and displays the thumbnail image as a connection identifier. In addition, at least one device identification is also displayed on the terminal device, for example, the "My Tablet" device identification is displayed.

In practical applications, when the user performs a triggering operation on the display interface, the terminal device can first generate the current display Take a screenshot of the interface, then reduce the screenshot to generate a thumbnail, and display the thumbnail as a continuation icon.

It is understandable that using the thumbnail of the display interface as the connection identifier can make the interface changes during the connection process more intuitive, conform to the user's operating habits and cognition, and make the interface more understandable.

In some embodiments, the user's subsequent triggering operation includes a sliding operation. Step 110: In response to the connection triggering operation, display the connection identification and at least one device identification, further including the following steps:

Control the thumbnail to move following the sliding trajectory of the sliding operation.

When the user performs a sliding operation, a sliding trajectory is formed on the terminal device. When the terminal device displays a thumbnail as a connection mark, it can also control the thumbnail to follow the sliding trajectory, which can make the interface changes during the connection process more intuitive and more in line with the user's operating habits and cognition. In one example, as shown in FIG. 7 , FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram of the sixth application scenario of the cross-device connection method provided by the embodiment of the present application. Among them, Figure 7 shows a schematic diagram of a terminal device controlling a thumbnail to move following a sliding trajectory. The dotted line in the figure represents the sliding trajectory, and the arrow at the end of the dotted line represents the sliding direction.

In some embodiments, the user's subsequent triggering operation includes a sliding operation. Step 110: In response to the connection triggering operation, display the connection identification and at least one device identification, further including the following steps:

Control the size of the thumbnail to change according to the length of the sliding trajectory of the sliding operation.

When the user performs a sliding operation, a sliding trajectory is formed on the terminal device. Moreover, as the sliding operation proceeds, the length of the sliding trajectory will also change. When the terminal device displays a thumbnail as a connection mark, it can also control the size of the thumbnail to change with the length of the sliding trajectory, so that the size of the thumbnail can reflect the user's sliding distance, making the operation process consistent with the user's operating habits and cognition. .

In one implementation, a preset length may be set in advance for the length of the sliding track, and the specific size of the preset length may be set according to actual needs. For example, the preset length may be 30 mm. When controlling the size change of the thumbnail, the length of the sliding track can be compared with the preset length. When the length of the sliding track is less than the preset length, the size of the thumbnail is controlled to decrease as the length of the sliding track increases; when the sliding track length increases, When the track length is greater than or equal to the preset length, the size of the control thumbnail is fixed to the preset size. That is, when the length of the sliding track is less than the preset length, for example, less than 30mm, the longer the sliding track, the smaller the control thumbnail is; when the length of the sliding track is greater than or equal to the preset length, for example, greater than or equal to 30mm, then The control thumbnail size is fixed and is the default size. Among them, the preset size can also be set in advance according to actual needs. In one example, as shown in FIG. 8 , FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram of the seventh application scenario of the cross-device connection method provided by the embodiment of the present application. Among them, Figure 8 shows a schematic diagram in which the terminal device controls the size of the thumbnail to change with the length of the sliding trajectory. The dotted line in the figure represents the sliding trajectory, and the arrow at the end of the dotted line represents the sliding direction.

It should be noted that when the terminal device controls the size of the thumbnail to change with the length of the sliding track, it can also control the thumbnail to move along the sliding track. It should also be noted that the above embodiment is only an example of controlling the size of the thumbnail to change with the length of the sliding track. In some other implementations, the size of the thumbnail can also be controlled to change with the length of the sliding track according to different rules.

It can be understood that when the terminal device displays at least one device identifier, it can be displayed in multiple ways. In actual applications, appropriate display methods can be adopted according to different scene requirements or different user settings.

In one example, refer to FIG. 9 , which is a schematic diagram of the eighth application scenario of the cross-device connection method provided by the embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 9, multiple device identifiers can be displayed side by side on the top of the terminal device to facilitate user viewing and selection. For example, you can display two device logos such as "My Notebook" and "My Tablet" side by side at the top.

In another example, the terminal device can display the device identification according to the nature of the object to be connected, display the device identification of the electronic device that can connect the object to be connected, but not display the electronic device that cannot connect the object to be connected. device identification.

For example, if the object to be connected is a video playback task in a video playback application, the device identification of the electronic device with the image playback function is displayed instead of the device identification of the electronic device (such as a speaker) with only the audio playback function.

For another example, if the object to be connected is an audio playback task in a video playback application, it is shown that it has the audio playback function. The device identification of an electronic device, such as an electronic device that can play images and audio at the same time (such as a smart TV), or an electronic device that can only play audio (such as a speaker), can display the corresponding device identification.

For another example, if the object to be connected is a web browsing service in a social application (for example, browsing Moments), then the device identification of the electronic device with web browsing function is displayed. At this time, it has a display function (that is, has a display screen) and is connected to the Internet. Only electronic devices that can load web content will display the corresponding device identification.

In another example, refer to FIG. 10 , which is a schematic diagram of the ninth application scenario of the cross-device connection method provided by the embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 10, multiple device logos can be dispersedly displayed at different positions of the terminal device, so the displayable area range of the device logo can be increased, and it can also be displayed conveniently when there are a large number of device logos. For example, the "My Tablet" device logo can be displayed on the top of the terminal device, the "My Laptop" device logo can be displayed on the left side, and the "Car Screen" device logo can be displayed on the right side.

In some embodiments, step 110: In response to the connection triggering operation, displaying the connection identification and at least one device identification includes the following steps:

Obtain the location of each electronic device;

The device identification of each electronic device is displayed according to the location of each electronic device.

In practical applications, the terminal device can obtain the location of each electronic device with which the terminal device has established a connection relationship. The position of the electronic device represents the position relative to the terminal device, or is understood as the orientation relative to the terminal device. In practical applications, in one example, a UWB (Ultra Wide Band) antenna can be set up in the terminal device, and the location of other electronic devices can be obtained through the UWB antenna, so that the location of each electronic device can be obtained. It can be understood that the terminal device can also obtain the location of the electronic device through other methods, which is not specifically limited in this application.

For example, refer to Figure 11, which is a schematic diagram of the tenth application scenario of the cross-device connection method provided by the embodiment of the present application. The electronic devices that have established a connection relationship with the terminal device include smart phone A, smart phone B, notebook, There are 5 electronic devices such as car and tablet. The position of each electronic device obtained by the terminal device is: smartphone A is located in the front left, smartphone B is located in the front right, the notebook is located on the left, the car and device are located on the right, and the tablet is located in the rear.

Subsequently, the terminal device may display the device identification of each electronic device according to the obtained position of each electronic device, wherein the display position of the device identification of each electronic device is located on a path from the center of the terminal device to the position of the electronic device.

Referring to Figure 12 at the same time, Figure 12 is a schematic diagram of the eleventh application scenario of the cross-device connection method provided by the embodiment of the present application, in which the device identification "smartphone A" is displayed in the upper left corner of the terminal device, that is, the center of the terminal device points to the left. On the path of smartphone A in front; the device identification "smartphone B" is displayed in the upper right corner of the terminal device, that is, the center of the terminal device points to the path of smartphone B on the right front; the device identification "My Notebook" is displayed on the terminal The left side of the device, that is, the center of the terminal device points to the path of the laptop on the left; the device identification "car screen" is displayed on the right side of the terminal device, that is, the center of the terminal device points to the path of the car and computer on the right; the device identification " My Tablet" is displayed at the bottom of the terminal, i.e. in the path of the tablet pointing behind the center of the terminal.

Through this display method, the actual location of each electronic device in the real world can be matched with the device identification displayed on the terminal device, which is in line with the user's understanding of the location of each electronic device in the real world, is more understandable, and facilitates users to quickly Select the target connection device.

In some embodiments, step 120: in response to a directional operation by the connection identification toward the target device identification in the at least one device identification, determining the target connection device, including the following steps:

When the connection identification is slid toward one or more device identifications, the electronic device corresponding to the one or more device identifications is determined as the target connection device; or

When a sliding operation is performed on the connection identification, and the connection identification overlaps with one or more device identifications, the electronic device corresponding to the one or more device identifications is determined as the target connection device.

In actual applications, when users perform directional operations to select the target connection device, they can also have multiple selection methods. Users can perform appropriate operations to select the target connection device according to different scene requirements or system settings.

In one example, refer to FIG. 13 , which is a schematic diagram of a twelfth application scenario of the cross-device connection method provided by an embodiment of the present application. The user can slide the connection identification toward one or more device identifications. After detecting the user's sliding operation, the terminal device can determine the electronic device corresponding to the one or more device identifications as the target connection device. For example, when the user slides from the connection identification along the P1 direction toward the device identification "My Notebook", the terminal device can determine the notebook corresponding to the device identification "My Notebook" as the target connection device. For another example, when the user performs a sliding operation from the connection identification toward the device identification "My Tablet" along the P2 direction, the terminal device can determine the tablet corresponding to the device identification "My Tablet" as the target connection device.

It is understandable that when the user needs to select multiple target connection devices, he can slide from the connection logo toward one device logo, and continue to slide from the device logo toward another device logo. Two devices can be selected with one sliding operation. Target connection device. For example, the user can slide from the connection identification toward the device identification "My Laptop" along the P1 direction, and continue to slide toward the device identification "My Tablet". At this time, the terminal device can determine both the notebook and the tablet as target connections. equipment.

In another example, refer to FIG. 14 , which is a schematic diagram of the thirteenth application scenario of the cross-device connection method provided by the embodiment of the present application. The user can perform a sliding operation on the connection identification until the connection identification overlaps with one or more device identifications. When the terminal device detects that the connection identifier overlaps with one or more device identifiers, it can determine the electronic device corresponding to the one or more device identifiers as the target connection device. For example, the user slides the connection logo until the connection logo overlaps with the device logo "car screen". At this time, the terminal device can determine the car corresponding to the device logo "car screen" as the target connection device.

In a possible situation, when the user needs to select multiple target connection devices, the user can slide the connection identification until the connection identification overlaps with multiple device identifications at the same time, or the connection identification can also be made to exist with multiple device identifications in sequence. overlapping. The terminal device may determine the electronic device corresponding to multiple device identifiers that overlap with the connection identifier at the same time as the target connection device, or may determine the electronic device corresponding to the device identifiers that overlap with the connection identifier in sequence as the target connection device.

In one possible situation, when the user performs a sliding operation on the connection logo, if the connection logo overlaps with one or more device logos, the device logo that overlaps with the connection logo can be highlighted. For example, the device logo can be deepened in color or the device can be enlarged. To highlight the device identifiers by changing the display shape of the device identifiers, etc., to indicate that the devices corresponding to these highlighted device identifiers will be determined as the target connection devices.

It is understandable that since the display layout of the car machine may be different from that of smartphones, tablets and other devices, after the connection is made on the car machine, the interface displayed on the car machine may be different from the interface displayed on the terminal device (for example, a smartphone). There is a big difference.

In one example, refer to FIG. 15 and FIG. 16 at the same time. FIG. 15 is a schematic diagram of the fourteenth application scenario of the cross-device connection method provided by the embodiment of the present application. FIG. 16 is the fourth application scenario of the cross-device connection method provided by the embodiment of the present application. Schematic diagram of fifteen application scenarios. Among them, Figure 15 shows an interface for video chatting through a social application on a terminal device (such as a smartphone). The interface may include video screen A, video screen B, and "flip camera", "blurred background", "switch" Voice call", hang up and other touch buttons. One of video picture A and video picture B can be one's own picture, and the other can be the opponent's picture. Figure 16 shows the interface displayed after the video interface of the social application in Figure 15 is connected on the car. In addition to the screens corresponding to video screen A and video screen B, the interface can also include a navigation interface, as well as multiple system buttons, system icons, system application icons, etc.
