[0048] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0049] In the embodiments of this invention, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, system, product, or device that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products, or devices. Additionally, the use of "and / or" in this application indicates at least one of the connected objects, such as A and / or B and / or C, representing seven possibilities: including A alone, B alone, C alone, and the presence of both A and B, both B and C, both A and C, and the presence of A, B, and C.

[0050] This invention provides a device interaction control method.

[0051] The device interaction control method in this embodiment can be applied to electronic devices such as smart all-in-one machines and electronic computers.

[0052] This embodiment uses a smart all-in-one machine as an example. A smart all-in-one machine, also known as a smart tablet or conference tablet, is an intelligent device that supports touch and other human-computer interaction functions. Smart all-in-one machines typically support multiple operating signal sources; for example, they can run their own installed operating system or operate based on signals from external devices. However, these electronic devices only support a single system at a time, such as Android or Windows. To improve adaptability to different scenarios, multi-system support can be provided for smart all-in-one machines. For example, one smart all-in-one machine runs on a deeply customized Android system to provide a better user experience. To provide better software services in certain scenarios, Windows system support is also needed. In related technologies, Windows system support can be provided through OPS (Open Pluggable Specification, a computing module plug-in format) modules. However, for this type of smart all-in-one machine, if software from another operating system needs to be run during use, the currently running operating system needs to be closed, the other operating system switched to, and then the software restarted.

[0053] In some embodiments, the device interaction control method provided by the present invention is applied to a first device, which is communicatively connected to a second device. The first device is equipped with a first operating system, and the second device is equipped with a second operating system. The first device and the second device can communicate via a wireless local area network, or they can connect via a wireless hotspot, a network cable, a USB (Universal Serial Bus) interface, or other data interfaces, etc., without further limitation here.

[0054] The first device can be a smart all-in-one machine, the second device can be an OPS module, the first operating system is Android, and the second operating system is Windows. Obviously, the choice of the first and second devices and the operating system is not limited to these. This embodiment is only for illustrative purposes.

[0055] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the method includes the following steps:

[0056] Step 101: When running on the first operating system, receive a call request for the target application.

[0057] In this embodiment, the request to invoke the target application is made in the first operating system, which can be understood as follows:

[0058] To enable the calling of applications in the second operating system from the first operating system, this embodiment also adds the application identifier from the second operating system to the first operating system. Specifically, before step 101, the method further includes:

[0059] Send an application list retrieval request to the second device;

[0060] Receive the second application list returned by the second device;

[0061] Update the identifiers of applications in the second application list to the first application list, wherein the first application list includes the identifiers of applications installed on the first device;

[0062] Display the updated list of the first application.

[0063] In this embodiment, after establishing a communication connection with the second operation, a second application list corresponding to the second operating system is requested from the second device. The second application list includes the identifiers of at least some of the applications installed in the second operating system on the second device.

[0064] In some embodiments, the identifier may refer to the name of the application, or the icon of the application, or other identifiers that can represent and distinguish different applications.

[0065] The second operating system may have multiple applications installed. In this embodiment, the identifiers of all applications in the second operating system can be updated to the first application list, or only the identifiers of some applications in the second operating system can be updated to the first application list. For example, these may be commonly used applications in the second operating system.

[0066] In this way, the first application list of the first operating system includes not only the identifiers of applications installed on the first operating system, but also the identifiers of applications installed on the second operating system.

[0067] Step 102: Detect whether the target application is an application in the second operating system.

[0068] Step 103: If the target system is an application in the second operating system, then send the invocation request to the second device to run the target application based on the second operating system.

[0069] If the selected target application is an application installed on the first operating system, since the currently running operating system is the first operating system, the first application can be invoked in the normal way.

[0070] If the selected target application is an application in the second operating system, then the target application is run on the second device based on the second operating system. It can be understood that, based on the call operation of the target application in the first operating system, applications in both the first and second operating systems can be invoked, thus eliminating the need for a prior operating system switch. Instead, the selection of the application identifier in the second operating system can be achieved directly while the first operating system is running.

[0071] This invention simplifies the operation process and improves the human-computer interaction control experience by displaying applications from a second operating system within a first operating system. When an application from the second operating system is needed, the target application can be selected directly in the first operating system for execution in the second operating system.

[0072] In some embodiments, the invocation of the second application is achieved in the following manner:

[0073] An application window is generated on the display interface of the first operating system, and the application window corresponds to a part of the display interface;

[0074] Receive an application interface sent by the second device, wherein the application interface is generated when the second device runs the target application based on the second operating system;

[0075] The application interface is displayed in the application window.

[0076] like Figure 3 As shown in this embodiment, a certain area is partitioned off on the display interface of the first operating system as an application window, and the display interface of the second operating system is displayed on this application window. For example, this could be the target application interface running on the second operating system. This is equivalent to displaying the running content of two operating systems on the same display interface. In this case, the display interfaces of the first and second operating systems can coexist, and the first and second operating systems can run simultaneously.

[0077] The application window can be understood as a player running on the display interface of the first operating system, playing the running interface of the second operating system in the form of video. The size and position of the application window can be fixed, or adjustable controls can be set, and the size and position of the application window can be adjusted by adjusting the controls.

[0078] In some embodiments, to accommodate operational differences between different operating systems, the method further includes:

[0079] Receive a first operation input for the area corresponding to the application window;

[0080] Convert the first operation input into a second operation input corresponding to the second operating system;

[0081] Send the second operation input to the second device.

[0082] It's understandable that in Android, to open an application's options, you usually long-press the application's icon, while in Windows, you right-click; to open an application, you usually single-click in Android, while in Windows, you left-click.

[0083] This shows that the specific input for the same operation is different in different operating systems.

[0084] In this embodiment, if the first operation input is detected to be for a target application running in the second operating system, the first operation input is converted into a second operation input that matches the second operating system and sent to the second operating system. In this way, it is possible to perform operations in the first operating system according to the operating habits corresponding to the first operating system, thereby enabling the execution of operation tasks corresponding to different operating systems, simplifying the operation process and helping to improve the user experience.

[0085] In some embodiments, after sending the call request to the second device, the method further includes:

[0086] Switch the first device to run on the second operating system based on the second device;

[0087] The target application is run in the second operating system and the interface corresponding to the target application is displayed.

[0088] In another embodiment, an operating system switch is performed to run the target application in the second operating system. Specifically, based on the invocation request, the system switches to run the first device on the second operating system. This can be understood as running the second operating system installed on the second device based on the hardware support of the first device. In this case, the first device only displays the display interface of the second operating system, and the first operating system can be switched to a hibernation or shutdown state.

[0089] It is understandable that the switching process of this operating system does not require manual intervention by the user. Instead, it is automatically performed by the first device based on the call request to the target application. Therefore, it simplifies the user's operation process and improves the convenience of operation.

[0090] like Figure 2 As shown, the technical solution of this embodiment can be summarized as follows: First, add the identifier of the application in the second application list of the second operating system to the first application list of the first operating system. When the target application selected in the first operating system is an application in the second operating system, the target application can be opened by window merging or operating system switching. Finally, the target application is displayed and controlled in a merged manner to display the running interface of the target application. In this way, the application in the second operating system can be called from the first operating system without first switching the system.

[0091] In some embodiments, before receiving the invocation request for the target application, the method further includes:

[0092] Send a sharing request to the second device;

[0093] Receive sharing information returned by the second device according to the sharing request, the sharing information including the folder path of the shared folder and the sharing protocol;

[0094] Access the shared folder according to the sharing protocol and the folder path.

[0095] In this embodiment, a file sharing function is further configured to improve the interaction between the first device and the second device.

[0096] like Figure 4As shown, the first operating system first enables the file management function, and then sends a file sharing request to the second operating system. When the second operating system listens to the file sharing request, it enables the file sharing service and returns sharing information to the first device. Based on this sharing information, the first device can access the folder path through the sharing protocol to access the shared files in the shared folder, thereby enabling it to access and operate the files located in the second operating system based on the file sharing function.

[0097] The sharing protocol can be an existing or improved file sharing protocol. For example, it can be based on FTP (File Transfer Protocol), SMPA (a file sharing service), NFS (Network File System), etc.

[0098] In another embodiment, file sharing can also be achieved in the following way:

[0099] Create a shared space;

[0100] Send the spatial information of the shared space to the second device, the spatial information including the spatial folder path and sharing protocol of the shared space;

[0101] Receive the shared file sent by the second device based on the sharing protocol and the spatial path.

[0102] In this embodiment, a shared space is generated on the first device. For example, a shared folder can be created, and then the space address of the shared folder can be sent to the second device. The second device can send the files that need to be shared to the shared folder based on the shared address. In this way, the files become local files of the first device. At this time, the first device can directly call the file by calling the local device.

[0103] In this way, this embodiment realizes file sharing between the first device and the second device, and improves the interactive control effect between the first device and the second device.

[0104] like Figure 5 As shown, it can be understood that, compared with related technologies, the technical solution of this embodiment adds an application management module 511, a shared file processing module 512, and a window control module 513 to the first device 510, and adds a control command receiving module 521, a file sharing service module 522, and an application control module 523 to the second device 520.

[0105] The first device 510 and the second device 520 can communicate with each other via physical interfaces such as USB interface and network cable, or via wireless communication methods such as wireless hotspot and Bluetooth.

[0106] The application management module 511 is used to provide application list management support. Specifically, the application management module 511 is used to create and manage the application list, which refers to the first application list mentioned above. By interacting with the second device 520 and requesting application information from the second device 520, the application management module 511 can display the identifiers of some or all of the applications installed on the second device 520 in the first application list.

[0107] The shared file processing module 512 works in conjunction with the file sharing service module 522 to implement the above-mentioned file sharing function.

[0108] The control command receiving module 521 can listen for messages through the command control channel to obtain messages from the first device 510. When a message is obtained, such as application list retrieval, application opening, sharing service start / stop, etc., the message can be forwarded to the corresponding module or the corresponding operation can be performed.

[0109] The window control module 513 works in conjunction with the application control module 523 to transmit control commands. Specifically, when the window control module 513 receives a first operation input for a target application in the second operating system, it sends the first operation input to the second device 520 to obtain a second operation input. Based on this second operation input, the application control module 523 can control the target application. It can be understood that the first operation input can be converted from an operation mode conforming to the first operating system to a second operation input conforming to the operation mode of the second operating system.

[0110] Here, window control can be implemented in various ways depending on the hardware platform. For example, it may include chip solutions supporting the scaling of the display window for OPS source input content, or OPS input video signals being converted via MIPI to realize a camera video stream. This can be understood as the first operating system's display interface merging the currently displayed interface of the first operating system with the interface of the target application of the second operating system. The first operating system determines whether to distribute the first operation input to the second system based on the current touch operation position, and whether format conversion is required before distribution to the second operating system.

[0111] This invention provides a device interaction control apparatus.

[0112] It is applied to a first device, which is communicatively connected to a second device. The first device is equipped with a first operating system, and the second device is equipped with a second operating system.

[0115] Detection module 602 is used to detect whether the target application is an application in the second operating system;

[0116] The call request sending module 603 is used to send the call request to the second device if the target system is an application in the second operating system, so as to run the target application based on the second operating system.

[0117] In some embodiments, the system further includes: a window generation module, configured to generate an application window on the display interface of the first operating system, the application window corresponding to a portion of the display interface;

[0118] An application interface receiving module is used to receive an application interface sent by the second device, wherein the application interface is generated when the second device runs the target application based on the second operating system;

[0131] The list display module is used to display the updated list of the first application.
