[0031] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] The embodiment of the present invention provides a shared device, see Figure 1 , shows a schematic diagram of the structure of the shared device, which may include: a first connecting component 101 connected to a first electronic device, a second connecting component 102 connected to at least one second electronic device; and a processing chip 103 for allocating power or current to the second electronic device based on the power or current required by the second electronic device connected to the second connecting component.

[0033] In one possible implementation, the first connection component 101 is a contact connection interface, that is, the shared device is connected to the shared device via a contact connection method; in another possible implementation, the first connection component 101 is a wireless interface, that is, the shared device is connected to the shared device via a wireless method; in yet another possible implementation, the first connection component 101 can be a contact connection interface and a wireless interface, that is, the shared device has both a connection interface and a wireless interface, that is, the shared device can be connected to a first electronic device that supports a contact connection method, and can also be connected to a first electronic device that supports a wireless connection method.

[0034] The contact connection interface and the interface can be at least one standard communication interface. Specifically, the contact connection interface of the shared device can be but is not limited to one or more of the following standard communication interfaces: lighting interface, USB interface (including at least type-c interface, Micro USB interface, etc.), moto 16pin interface (i.e., magnetic 16pin interface).

[0035] If the contact connection interface of the shared device includes a moto 16pin interface, the shared device can be connected to a moto phone through the moto16pin interface; if the contact connection interface of the shared device includes a lighting interface, the shared device can be connected to an Apple phone through the lighting interface; if the contact connection interface of the shared device includes a Type-c interface, the shared device can be connected to mainstream products such as moto phones, Xiaomi phones, and Huawei phones through the Type-c interface; if the contact connection interface of the shared device includes a MicroUSB interface, the shared device can be connected to Oppo phones and vivo phones through the Micro USB interface. Of course, if the contact connection interface of the shared device includes multiple interfaces at the same time, it can be compatible with multiple phones.

[0036] In this embodiment, the shared device can be connected to the external device through the second connection component 102. The second connection component 102 can be a standard communication interface. Specifically, the second connection component 102 of the shared device can be, but is not limited to, one or more of the following standard communication interfaces: HDMI interface, VGA interface, USB interface (such as Type-c interface, Micro USB interface, USB2.0 interface, etc.), network interface (such as WLAN interface), audio interface (such as 3.5mm audio interface, 2.5mm audio interface, etc.).

[0037] It should be noted that the second connection component 102 of the shared device may include one type of interface, which may be one or more, for example, including multiple USB2.0 interfaces. The second connection component 102 of the shared device may also include multiple types of interfaces, and each type of interface may be one or more, for example, may include 1 Type-c interface, 2 USB2.0 interfaces, 1 HDMI interface, and 1 audio interface.

[0038] The shared device can be connected to the first electronic device via the first connecting component 101, the first electronic device can provide power for the shared device, and the shared device can be connected to at least one second electronic device via the second connecting component 102. Generally, the power or current (i.e., power consumption) required by different second electronic devices is different. In order to meet the power or current requirements of different second electronic devices, the processing chip 103 in the shared device provided in this embodiment can allocate power or current to the second electronic device based on the power or current required by the second electronic device connected to the second connecting component 102.

[0039] Furthermore, the processing chip 103 in the shared device may include an identification unit and an allocation unit, wherein the identification unit is used to identify the power or current required by the second electronic device connected to the second connection component, and the allocation unit is used to allocate power or current to the second electronic device based on the power or current identified by the identification unit.

[0040] Exemplarily, the second connection component of the shared device includes a USB2.0 interface, which can be connected to a mouse receiver, a USB flash drive, and a mobile power supply. Assuming that the mouse receiver requires 300mA of current, the USB flash drive requires 500mA of current, and the mobile power supply requires 900mA of current, when the USB2.0 interface of the shared device is connected to the mouse receiver, the processing chip 103 will identify the current required by the mouse receiver. When it is identified that the current required by the mouse receiver is 300mA, the mouse receiver is provided with 300mA of current. When the USB2.0 interface of the shared device is connected to the USB flash drive, the processing chip 103 identifies the current required by the USB flash drive. When it is identified that the current required by the USB flash drive is 500mA, the USB flash drive is provided with 500mA of current. When the USB2.0 interface of the shared device is connected to the mobile power supply, the processing chip 103 will identify the current required by the mobile power supply. When it is identified that the current required by the mobile power supply is 900mA, the mobile power supply is provided with 900mA of current.

[0041] The above example is for a case of one interface. When a shared device has multiple interfaces, power can be supplied to devices connected to the interfaces of the shared device based on a power or current distribution strategy.

[0042] Exemplarily, the second connection component of the shared device includes an HDMI interface, a Type-c interface, a USB2.0 interface, a Micro USB interface and a WLAN interface. The HDMI interface can be connected to a TV, the Type-c interface can be connected to headphones and data cables, the USB2.0 interface can be connected to a mouse adapter, a U disk, a mobile hard disk, a mobile power supply, etc., the Micro USB interface can be connected to a data cable, and the WLAN interface can be connected to a network cable. The following table shows the working current of the devices connected to each interface of the shared device:

[0043] Table 1 Working current of devices connected to each interface of the shared device

[0044]

[0045]

[0046] When the HDMI interface of the shared device is connected to the TV, the Type-c interface is connected to the headset, and the USB2.0 interface is connected to the USB flash drive, the processing chip 103 will provide 100mA of current for the TV, 20mA of current for the headset, and 500mA of current for the USB flash drive based on the current distribution strategy in the above table.

[0047] In this embodiment, the shared device is a movable shared device, and the first electronic device may be, but is not limited to, a movable electronic device, such as a mobile phone, a PAD, etc. The second electronic device may be, but is not limited to, a television, a mobile phone, a PAD, an audio device (such as a headset, an audio playback device), a video device (such as a video playback device), a storage device (such as a USB flash drive, a mobile hard disk), a mobile power supply device, etc. It should be noted that the second electronic device may also be a functional module with a certain function, that is, based on the shared device, the required functional module can be flexibly accessed to achieve the required function.

[0048] In a possible implementation, the shared device may be disposed in the first electronic device, and the second connection component of the shared device is exposed through a housing of the first electronic device.

[0049] Exemplarily, the shared device is embedded in the mobile phone, and the second connection component of the shared device, such as an HDMI interface, a Type-C interface, a USB2.0 interface, a Micro USB interface, and a WLAN interface, can be exposed on the back or side of the mobile phone. Figure 2 The schematic diagram of the second connection part of the shared device being exposed through the mobile phone housing is shown. When the user wants to connect an external device, the external device can be directly connected to the corresponding interface on the mobile phone.

[0050] The shared device provided in the embodiment of the present invention has a first connecting component that can be connected to a first electronic device and a second connecting component that can be connected to at least one second electronic device, and the shared device can allocate power or current to the second electronic device based on the power or current required by the connected second electronic device. It can be seen that the shared device provided in the embodiment of the present invention, on the one hand, enables the first electronic device to access more peripherals based on the shared device, and on the other hand, enables developers to only develop devices or functional modules based on the shared device, without having to develop for electronic devices of different standards, which greatly reduces development costs. For users, since there is no need to continuously purchase devices or functional modules that meet different standards, the purchase cost is greatly reduced. In addition, the shared device provided by the present invention enables users to flexibly build a hardware platform based on the shared device to achieve the required functions.

[0051] The sharing device provided by the embodiment of the present invention is described below by using a specific example.

[0052] See also Figure 3 , shows a schematic diagram of a structure of a specific example of a shared device provided in an embodiment of the present invention, and the shared device may include:

[0053] A first connection component connected to a first electronic device (such as a mobile phone), the first connection component comprising a moto 16pin interface, a lighting interface, a Type-c interface and a Micro USB interface;

[0054] A second connection component connected to a second electronic device, the second connection component comprising an HDMI interface, a Type-C interface, a USB2.0 interface, a Micro USB interface, a WLAN interface and an audio interface;

[0055] And, a processing chip that distributes power or current to the second electronic device based on the power or current required by the second electronic device connected to the second connection component.

[0056] Since the shared device has multiple standard interfaces (moto 16pin interface, lighting interface, type-c interface and Micro USB interface) for connecting to the first electronic device, it can be connected to multiple mainstream first electronic devices, that is, it is compatible with multiple first electronic devices. When the shared device is connected to the first electronic device through one of the interfaces of moto 16pin interface, lighting interface, type-c interface and Micro USB interface, the first electronic device can supply power to the shared device.

[0057] Since the shared device has multiple standard interfaces for connecting to the second electronic device, including HDMI interface, Type-c interface, USB2.0 interface, Micro USB interface, WLAN interface and audio interface, it can connect to multiple second electronic devices with different functions, thereby meeting the user's access needs for different second electronic devices.

[0058] Since the shared device provides multiple standard interfaces, namely, HDMI interface, Type-c interface, USB2.0 interface, MicroUSB interface, WLAN interface and audio interface, it is possible that the shared device can access different second electronic devices at different times, or it is possible that multiple different second electronic devices can be accessed at the same time, and the power supply requirements of different second electronic devices are different. The shared device provided in the embodiment of the present invention dynamically identifies the power or current requirements of the second electronic device connected to one or more of the HDMI interface, Type-c interface, USB2.0 interface, Micro USB interface, WLAN interface and audio interface through a processing chip to meet the power supply requirements of different second electronic devices.

[0059] The shared device provided in the embodiment of the present invention can flexibly allocate the required power or current to the access device, and can provide a standard interface for the user, so that the user can access functional modules or electronic devices with different functions as needed; and the shared device provided in the embodiment of the present invention allows the user to purchase functional modules such as audio modules, video modules, social modules, etc., and connect these functional modules to the shared device to realize more functions, so that the user can flexibly build a hardware platform according to his own needs based on the shared device, and it can also facilitate developers to develop intelligent modules according to the standard interface provided by the shared device.

[0063] After the sharing device establishes a communication connection with the first electronic device, if it is detected that a second electronic device has established a communication connection with the sharing device, data of the second electronic device is acquired and managed.

[0064] Exemplarily, the second electronic device connected to the shared device is an audio playback device, and the shared device can obtain audio data on the audio playback device and manage the audio data, such as deleting the audio data on the audio playback device, changing the audio data on the audio playback device, etc.
