Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to an information processing method and related apparatus and equipment. Background Technology

[0002] "One-touch transfer" technology refers to the quick pairing and wireless connection between two devices through a simple "tap" operation, enabling efficient information exchange and other functions. The pairing is primarily achieved by relying on the Bluetooth identifier stored in the device's NFC tag.

[0003] The "OneHop" feature is commonly found between devices that have already been configured with NFC tags during manufacturing. For devices without NFC tags, users need to manually configure the NFC tag to enable the "OneHop" function. However, the current process of manually configuring NFC tags is quite complex (e.g., obtaining the device's Bluetooth identifier; converting the Bluetooth identifier into a QR code; and using a specialized programming application to program the Bluetooth identifier onto a blank NFC tag), making it difficult for non-professionals to handle. Therefore, simplifying NFC tag configuration and enabling widespread implementation of "OneHop" technology between devices is a pressing technical challenge. Summary of the Invention

Based on the first identifier stored in the third electronic device, a connection can be easily and quickly established between the second and first electronic devices to achieve information sharing. This method simplifies the process of configuring the first identifier on the third electronic device, making subsequent connection establishment and information sharing based on the first identifier easier and faster.

[0053] The terminology used in the following embodiments of this application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of this application. As used in the specification and appended claims of this application, the singular expressions “a,” “an,” “the,” “the,” “the,” and “this” are intended to include the plural expressions as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It should also be understood that the term “and / or” as used in this application refers to and includes any or all possible combinations of one or more of the listed items.

[0054] First, the technical terms and concepts involved in the embodiments of this application will be introduced.

[0055] (1) Near Field Communication

[0056] Near Field Communication (NFC) evolved from contactless radio frequency identification (RFID) and interconnection technologies. It combines inductive card readers, inductive cards, and point-to-point functionality on a single chip, enabling identification and data exchange with compatible devices over short distances.

[0057] NFC's short-range interaction greatly simplifies the entire authentication and identification process, making inter-electronic device access more direct, secure, and transparent. Through NFC, multiple devices such as computers, digital cameras, mobile phones, and PDAs can easily and quickly connect wirelessly, enabling data exchange and services. For example, with an NFC chip embedded in a mobile phone, it can perform electronic payments and read information from other NFC devices and tags.

[0058] NFC-enabled devices can exchange data in either active or passive communication mode. The following describes an NFC communication system architecture provided by an embodiment of this application.

[0059] Please see Figure 1A An NFC communication system can include an initiating device and a target device. For example... Figure 1A As shown, the initiating device generates a radio frequency (RF) field to initiate communication conforming to the corresponding protocol specifications. Active communication by the target device means that both the initiating and target devices generate magnetic fields to transmit data. Passive communication, on the other hand, means that the target device transmits data using a load modulation mechanism, requiring only the initiating device to generate the RF field. In passive mode, the NFC initiating device provides the RF field throughout the communication process and sends the requested data at a pre-agreed transmission speed. The target device is located within this RF field. After receiving the requested data, the target device uses the RF field generated by the initiating device to return the corresponding response data at the same transmission speed. In passive communication mode, the target device can utilize this function to reduce power consumption and extend device life. The initiating device typically includes a processing unit, an RF module, a control unit, and an antenna. The initiating device can be a reader, a mobile phone, etc. The target device can be a chip and antenna with certain computing and storage capabilities. The target device can be an NFC tag, a mobile phone, etc. The initiating and target devices use wireless transmission; both devices must be close to each other to function properly. The two parties primarily use inductive coupling to transmit RF signals.

[0060] (2) Bluetooth

[0061] Bluetooth is a wireless technology that enables short-range communication between devices.

[0062] Please see Figure 1B This is a schematic diagram illustrating a process for establishing a Bluetooth connection, provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 1B As shown, before the slave device establishes a connection with the master device, the slave device needs to broadcast first. That is, the slave device turns on its radio frequency module and continuously sends broadcast signals to the outside world, where t is the broadcast interval. The master device is in scanning mode. At this time, the master device opens its radio frequency scanning window. When the broadcast radio frequency channel and the master device's scanning radio frequency channel are on the same channel, the master device scans the broadcast signal sent by the slave device. The master device sends a connection request to the slave device. After receiving the connection request, the slave device responds to the master device. After the master device receives the response information from the slave device for the connection request, it indicates that the Bluetooth connection has been successfully established.

[0063] (3) Bluetooth connection based on NFC

[0064] NFC-based Bluetooth technology refers to obtaining a Bluetooth identifier for establishing a Bluetooth connection through NFC communication, enabling quick pairing and connection establishment. For example, if electronic device A and electronic device B are both Bluetooth devices with NFC functionality, electronic device A can approach electronic device B and obtain its Bluetooth identifier via NFC communication, thus completing Bluetooth pairing and establishing a Bluetooth connection.

[0065] This application provides an information processing method. After a terminal device (such as a computer or television) and an accessory with NFC functionality (such as a mouse or remote control) are paired, the accessory records information such as the Bluetooth identifier of the terminal device on its NFC tag. The electronic device can obtain the Bluetooth identifier and other information of the terminal device by approaching or touching the accessory, and then establish a connection with the terminal device, thereby realizing functions such as one-touch transfer, multi-screen collaboration, and data sharing.

[0066] Below, we will first introduce a system architecture diagram provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0067] Please see Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the architecture of an information processing system provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 As shown, the information processing system may include a first electronic device 100, a second electronic device 200, and a third electronic device 300. Wherein:

[0068] The first electronic device 100 and the second electronic device 200 can establish a connection through the third electronic device 300, thereby realizing functions such as multi-screen collaboration and one-touch file transfer. The third electronic device 300 serves as an accessory to the first electronic device 100, just as a mouse is an accessory to a computer, and a remote control is an accessory to a television.

[0069] Specifically: First, the first electronic device 100 and the third electronic device 300 establish a connection, which can be a wireless connection (such as a Bluetooth connection) or a wired connection (such as via a data cable). Based on this connection, the third electronic device 300 obtains a first identifier of the first electronic device 100, the first identifier including the Bluetooth address of the first electronic device 100, and stores the obtained first identifier in its own NFC tag. Then, the second electronic device 200 obtains the first identifier of the first electronic device 100 by approaching or touching the third electronic device 300.

[0070] After obtaining the first identifier of the first electronic device 100, the second electronic device 200 can send a connection request to the first electronic device 100 to establish a connection. In some embodiments, the first electronic device 100 and the second electronic device 200 establish a Bluetooth connection. In some embodiments, to improve the quality of information transmission, the first electronic device 100 and the second electronic device 200 can also establish a WLAN connection, WiFi connection, etc., through the Bluetooth connection.

[0071] After the first electronic device 100 and the second electronic device 200 establish a connection, they can realize functions such as multi-screen collaboration, one-touch transfer, and information sharing.

[0072] In some embodiments, the second electronic device 200 can send user-selected files (such as images, text, audio, video, etc.) to the first electronic device 100 based on this connection. Thus, from the user's perspective, simply bringing the second electronic device 200 close to or touching the third electronic device 300 will successfully transfer the file.

[0073] In some embodiments, the second electronic device 200 can send its user interface to the first electronic device 100 via the connection, and the first electronic device 100 displays the user interface within its collaborative window. The user can then manipulate applications on the user interface within the collaborative window. The first electronic device 100 sends manipulation information to the second electronic device 200 via the connection, causing the second electronic device 200 to respond to the manipulation information and perform the corresponding operation. That is, the user can collaboratively operate the second electronic device 200 from the first electronic device 100. For example, if the user performs an operation on the collaborative window displayed on the first electronic device 100—opening the "Gallery" and deleting "Image A" from the "Gallery"—the same operation will be performed on the second electronic device 200: opening the "Gallery" and deleting "Image A" from the "Gallery".

[0074] In some embodiments, the second electronic device 200 can send content copied by the second electronic device to the first electronic device via the connection. After receiving the content copied by the second electronic device, the first electronic device 100 can paste the copied content onto the currently displayed user interface. Thus, from the user's perspective, simply bringing the second electronic device 200 close to or touching the third electronic device 300 will cause the first electronic device 100 to automatically paste the copied content onto the second electronic device.

[0075] In some embodiments, the third electronic device 300 may store the identifiers of multiple devices in its NFC tag. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the system architecture diagram may also include a fourth electronic device 400, which serves as an extension screen of the first electronic device 100.

[0076] In some embodiments, the third electronic device 300 can obtain a first identifier and first indication information from the first electronic device 100, and then store the correspondence between the first identifier and the first indication information in its NFC tag. The first indication information may be the Bluetooth name of the first electronic device 100, the device identifier of the first electronic device 100, or a first preset character, such as "0". The third electronic device 300 can obtain a second identifier and second indication information from the fourth electronic device 400, and then store the correspondence between the second identifier and the second indication information in its NFC tag. The second identifier includes the Bluetooth address of the fourth electronic device 400, and the second indication information may be the Bluetooth name of the fourth electronic device 400, the device identifier of the fourth electronic device 400, or a second preset character, such as "1".

[0077] In this embodiment, after the third electronic device 300 and the first electronic device 100 are paired, the first electronic device 100 can periodically detect the focus position of the third electronic device 300. When the focus of the third electronic device 300 is detected on the display screen of the first electronic device, the first electronic device 100 sends a first indication message to the third electronic device 300. The third electronic device 300 receives the first indication message and, based on the stored correspondence between the first indication message and the first identifier, responds to the first indication message and transmits the first identifier during NFC communication. When the focus of the third electronic device 300 is detected not on the display screen of the first electronic device 100, that is, when the focus of the third electronic device 300 is located on the display screen of the fourth electronic device 400, the first electronic device 100 sends a second indication message to the third electronic device 300. The third electronic device 300 receives the second indication message and, based on the stored correspondence between the second indication message and the second identifier, responds to the second indication message and transmits the second identifier during NFC communication. For example, if the first indication information is "0" and the second indication information is "1", when the third electronic device 300 receives "0", it transmits the first identifier during NFC communication; when the third electronic device 300 receives "1", it transmits the second identifier during NFC communication. The first indication information can also be the device identifier of the first electronic device 100, and the second indication information can be the device identifier of the fourth electronic device 400. When the third electronic device 300 receives the device identifier of the first electronic device 100, it can transmit the first identifier during NFC communication based on the stored correspondence between the device identifier of the first electronic device 100 and the first identifier; when the third electronic device 300 receives the device identifier of the fourth electronic device 400, it can transmit the second identifier during NFC communication based on the stored correspondence between the device identifier of the fourth electronic device 400 and the second identifier. For example, the first indication information can also be the Bluetooth name of the first electronic device 100, and the second indication information can also be the Bluetooth name of the fourth electronic device 400.

[0078] In some embodiments, when the first electronic device 100 detects that the focus of the third electronic device 300 is not on its display screen and the duration exceeds a preset threshold, the first electronic device 100 sends a second indication message to the third electronic device 400. The preset threshold is not a fixed value; for example, it may be 1 second, 3 seconds, etc.

[0079] In some embodiments, the fourth electronic device 400 may also periodically detect the focus position of the third electronic device 300. When the fourth electronic device 400 detects that the focus of the third electronic device 300 is on its display screen, the fourth electronic device 400 may send first information to the first electronic device 100 indicating that the focus of the third electronic device 300 is on the fourth electronic device 400. In response to the first information, the first electronic device 100 sends second indication information to the third electronic device 300. Alternatively, when the fourth electronic device 400 detects that the focus of the third electronic device 300 is on its display screen, the fourth electronic device 400 may directly send the second indication information to the third electronic device 300.

[0080] When the third electronic device 300 receives the first instruction information, the third electronic device 100 transmits the first identifier during NFC communication. When the third electronic device 300 receives the second instruction information, the third electronic device 300 transmits the second identifier during NFC communication.

[0081] For example, when the third electronic device 300 obtains the first identifier of the first electronic device 100, it may also store the first identifier. When the third electronic device 300 obtains the second identifier of the fourth electronic device 400, it may store the second identifier of the fourth electronic device 400.

[0082] When the second electronic device 200 approaches or touches the third electronic device 300, it can obtain the identifier of the electronic device via NFC communication and establish a connection with the electronic device corresponding to the obtained identifier. That is, if the second electronic device 200 obtains the first identifier, it establishes a connection with the first electronic device 100; if the second electronic device 200 obtains the second identifier, it establishes a connection with the fourth electronic device 400. It should be noted that if the second electronic device 200 and the first electronic device 100 have already established a connection before the second electronic device 200 obtains the first identifier, then the second electronic device 200 does not need to establish a connection with the first electronic device 100 again after obtaining the first identifier.

[0083] In some embodiments, the first electronic device 100 can connect to two or more electronic devices as an extended screen. When the third electronic device obtains the identifier of an electronic device, it can store the correspondence between the electronic device identifier and indication information in an NFC tag. The indication information can be the Bluetooth name of the electronic device, the device identifier of the electronic device, or preset characters, etc. The example of the first electronic device 100 connecting to two or more electronic devices as an extended screen is similar to the example described above of the first electronic device 100 connecting to a fourth electronic device 400 as an extended screen, and will not be repeated here.

[0084] It should be understood that the first electronic device 100 and the fourth electronic device 400 are electronic devices with Bluetooth functionality, such as laptops, tablets, and smart TVs; the second electronic device 200 is an electronic device with both Bluetooth and NFC functionality, such as mobile phones and smartwatches; and the third electronic device 300 is an electronic device with both NFC and Bluetooth functionality, such as mice, remote controls, styluses, keyboards, and gamepads. The electronic devices involved in this application may also have other communication functions such as WiFi, WiFi P2P, and WiFi LAN, which are not limited here.

[0085] It should be understood that Figure 2 The system architecture diagram shown is merely an exemplary architecture provided in this application embodiment, and the system architecture included in this application embodiment is not limited to... Figure 2 The equipment shown may also include more or fewer devices, and Figure 2 The implementation methods described herein are only some of the implementation methods of the embodiments of this application, and may include other implementations, which are not limited here.

[0086] Below, in conjunction with Figure 2 The system architecture diagram shown illustrates the third electronic device 300 provided in this application embodiment, which is a device with NFC and Bluetooth functions.

[0087] Please see Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a third electronic device 300 provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 3 As shown, the device includes an NFC tag 30, a Bluetooth module 31, a power module 32, and a main control chip 33. Among them:

[0088] The third electronic device 300 can communicate with the network and other devices through the Bluetooth module 31, such as establishing a Bluetooth connection with other devices through the Bluetooth module 31. In this embodiment, the third electronic device 300 mainly establishes a connection with other devices through the Bluetooth module 31, such as a Bluetooth connection, so as to exchange information with other devices, such as obtaining information such as the Bluetooth address and device identifier of other devices.

[0089] The NFC tag 30 is an active NFC tag with erasable and rewritable capabilities, and may include an antenna 301 and a tag chip 302. The antenna 301 is responsible for verifying the data transmission process, while the tag chip 302 is responsible for storing recorded information, such as the acquired Bluetooth address and device identifier. In one implementation, the information stored in the NFC tag can be maintained by the Bluetooth module 31, meaning the Bluetooth module 31 can write the acquired information into the NFC tag. In another implementation, the information stored in the NFC tag can be maintained by the main control chip 33, meaning that after the Bluetooth module 31 acquires the information, it sends the information to the main control chip 33, which then writes the information into the NFC tag.

Electronic device 500 can also calculate the touch position based on the detection signal from pressure sensor 580A. In some embodiments, touch operations applied to the same touch position but with different touch operation intensities can correspond to different operation commands. For example: when a touch operation with an intensity less than a first pressure threshold is applied to the SMS application icon, a command to view an SMS is executed. When a touch operation with an intensity greater than or equal to the first pressure threshold is applied to the SMS application icon, a command to create a new SMS is executed.

[0173] S102: The first electronic device and the third electronic device establish a first connection.

[0174] The first connection can be a wireless connection or a wired connection. For example, a wired connection can be established between the first electronic device and the second electronic device via a data cable, or a wireless connection can be established between the first electronic device and the second electronic device via Bluetooth.

[0175] S104: The third electronic device obtains the first identifier of the first electronic device through the first connection.

[0176] The first identifier includes the Bluetooth address of the first electronic device.

[0177] The third electronic device includes an NFC tag. This NFC tag may be rewritable, meaning the data on the NFC tag can be deleted and rewritten with new data. This NFC tag may be an active NFC tag.

[0178] Through a first connection, such as a Bluetooth connection, the first electronic device can send a first identifier of the first electronic device to a third electronic device, which can store the first identifier in an NFC tag.

[0179] Before writing data into the NFC tag, the third electronic device checks whether the NFC tag is empty. If the NFC tag is empty, the first identifier of the first electronic device is written into the NFC tag. If the NFC tag is not empty, the data in the NFC tag is erased first, and then the first identifier of the first electronic device is written into the NFC tag.

[0180] It should be understood that the third electronic device can obtain the first identifier from the first electronic device through other communication methods, which are not limited here.

[0181] S106: The second electronic device approaches or touches the third electronic device and obtains the first identifier from the third electronic device.

[0182] In some embodiments, the second electronic device has NFC functionality. A user can bring the NFC sensing area of ​​the second electronic device close to the NFC tag of a third electronic device. In response to the proximity or touch operation of the second electronic device, the third electronic device sends a first identifier stored in the NFC tag to the second electronic device.

[0183] In some implementations, a user can bring the NFC sensing area of ​​a second electronic device close to a third electronic device for a first duration (e.g., 2s, 3s, etc.), and the third electronic device, in response to the proximity operation of the second electronic device, sends a first identifier stored in the NFC tag to the second electronic device.

[0184] It should be understood that the second electronic device obtaining the first identifier from the NFC tag of the third electronic device may also include other user operations, which are not limited in this application.

[0185] It should be understood that the second electronic device can obtain the first identifier from the third electronic device through other communication methods, which are not limited here. The following steps will be explained using the example of the second electronic device touching the third electronic device to obtain the identifier of the electronic device.

[0186] S108: The second electronic device uses the first identifier to establish a second connection with the first electronic device.

[0187] The following describes two implementations of the second electronic device using the first identifier to establish a second connection with the first electronic device in step S108.

[0188] Implementation (1):

[0189] In some embodiments, the first electronic device and the second electronic device can establish a Bluetooth connection. The implementation of establishing a Bluetooth connection can be referred to the flowchart of establishing a Bluetooth connection described above (2), which specifically includes: before the first electronic device and the second electronic device establish a connection, the second electronic device first broadcasts, that is, the second electronic device turns on the radio frequency module and continuously sends broadcast signals to the outside world, where t is the broadcast interval time; the first electronic device is in scanning state, at this time, the first electronic device opens the radio frequency scanning window, and when the broadcast radio frequency channel and the scanning radio frequency channel of the first electronic device are in the same channel, the first electronic device scans the broadcast signal sent by the second electronic device; the first electronic device sends a connection request to the second electronic device, and the second electronic device responds to the first electronic device after receiving the connection request. After the first electronic device receives the response information of the second electronic device for the connection request, it indicates that the Bluetooth connection is successfully established.

[0190] Implementation (2):

[0191] In some embodiments, to improve the quality of information interaction between the first electronic device and the second electronic device, such as increasing the transmission rate and transmission capacity, the first electronic device and the second electronic device can also establish a WLAN connection, WiFi connection, WiFi P2P, WiFi LAN, etc., by implementing the Bluetooth connection established in (1). The following description takes establishing a WLAN connection through Bluetooth as an example. Please refer to steps S202-S204 below.

[0192] S202: Through Bluetooth connection, the second electronic device sends connection information for establishing a WLAN connection to the first electronic device, the connection information including at least one of the WLAN name and WLAN password.

[0193] S204: The first electronic device receives the connection information and establishes a WLAN connection with the second electronic device.

[0194] Establishing a WLAN connection between the first electronic device and the second electronic device enables them to be on the same local area network, providing conditions for high-speed information exchange between them.

[0195] S110: The first electronic device and the second electronic device share information through the second connection.

[0196] Below, we will introduce three ways in which the first electronic device and the second electronic device can share information through this second connection.

[0197] Achieve (a):

[0198] Please see Figure 7A This is a schematic diagram of a process for sharing information provided in an embodiment of this application. Before step S106 (the second electronic device approaches or touches the third electronic device), the process further includes:

[0199] S302: The second electronic device receives a first operation from the user, the first operation being used to select first data to be shared.

[0200] Furthermore, based on the second connection between the first electronic device and the second electronic device, the second electronic device sends first data to the first electronic device.

[0201] Achieve (b):

[0202] Please see Figure 7B This is another flowchart illustrating information sharing provided in this application embodiment. After step S108 (the second electronic device uses the first identifier to establish a second connection with the first electronic device), it further includes:

[0203] S304: The second electronic device receives a first operation from the user, the first operation being used to select first data to be shared.

[0204] S306: A second electronic device comes into contact with or touches a third electronic device.

[0205] It should be noted that before executing step S306, the second electronic device and the first electronic device have already established a second connection through step S108. In one scenario, the second connection established between the first and second electronic devices through step S108 is not broken. In this case, if the second electronic device touches or approaches the third electronic device, it does not need to re-establish a second connection with the first electronic device and can directly send the first data to the first electronic device. In another scenario, if the second connection established between the first and second electronic devices has been broken (e.g., if the first and second electronic devices do not share information within a set time, the second connection is automatically broken), then if the second electronic device approaches or touches the third electronic device, it obtains the first identifier (the first identifier includes the Bluetooth address of the first electronic device), and the second electronic device re-establishes a second connection with the first electronic device. The implementation method for the second electronic device to establish a second connection with the first electronic device can be found in the description of steps S106-S108 above, and will not be repeated here.

[0206] Furthermore, based on the second connection between the first electronic device and the second electronic device, the second electronic device sends first data to the first electronic device.

[0207] Implementation (c):

[0208] Please see Figure 7C This is a flowchart illustrating another method of sharing information provided in an embodiment of this application. Following step S108, the method further includes:

[0209] S308: The second electronic device receives a second operation from the user, the second operation being used to share the first data with the first electronic device.

[0210] In the first operation, based on the second connection between the first electronic device and the second electronic device, the second electronic device sends the first data to the first electronic device.

[0211] In implementations (a), (b), and (c) above, the first data can be one or more of the following: a file selected by the user, content copied by the second electronic device, or a first user interface displayed by the second electronic device. Therefore, the sending of the first data from the second electronic device to the first electronic device in the above implementations can include the following methods:

[0212] S1101: The second electronic device sends the target file selected by the user to the first electronic device;

[0213] Alternatively, S1102: The second electronic device sends the content copied by the second electronic device to the first electronic device;

[0214] Alternatively, S1103: The second electronic device sends the first user interface of the second electronic display to the first electronic device.

[0215] It should be understood that the sharing of information between the first electronic device and the second electronic device through the second connection is not limited to the three implementation methods mentioned above, and may also include other implementations, which are not limited here.

[0216] Below, based on the information processing method of steps S102-S110 above, several specific implementation methods will be introduced.

[0217] Implementation method (1):

[0218] Please see Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of a user interface for establishing a second connection provided in an embodiment of this application. The second connection can be a Bluetooth connection, a WLAN connection, a WiFi connection, etc. Preferably, the first electronic device can be a computer, and the second electronic device can be a mobile phone. Figure 8 As shown, when the first electronic device and the second electronic device establish a second connection for the first time, the first electronic device displays window 801 on the display. Window 801 specifically includes: a display area 8010, an "Allow" control 8011, and a "Deny" control 8012. The display area 8010 is used to output first pairing information to the user, which prompts the user which electronic device the first electronic device will establish a connection with, such as... Figure 8 As shown, the pairing information is "whether to allow the second electronic device to connect to this computer (the first electronic device)". The second electronic device displays window 802 on the monitor, which specifically includes: a display area 8020, a "Cancel" control 8021, and a "Connect" control 8022. The display area 8020 is used to output the second pairing information to the user, which prompts the user which device the second electronic device will connect to, such as... Figure 8 As shown, the second pairing information is "After connecting, you can operate your phone on your computer and share data between devices."

[0219] When the first electronic device receives a user action applied to the "Allow" control 8011, and the second electronic device receives a user action applied to the "Connect" control 8022, the first electronic device and the second electronic device establish a connection for the first time. Otherwise, the first electronic device and the second electronic device fail to establish a second connection for the first time.

[0220] When the first electronic device and the second electronic device re-establish a second connection, the user only needs to touch the second electronic device to the third electronic device to obtain the first identifier, which includes the Bluetooth address of the first electronic device. The second electronic device can then re-establish a second connection with the first electronic device through the method described in steps S106-S108 above, without requiring the user to confirm on the first and second electronic devices separately.

[0221] In some embodiments, the first data is a first user interface displayed by a second electronic device.

[0222] Please see Figure 9 This is a schematic diagram of a first user interface provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 9 As shown, the second electronic device displays an interface 92 (i.e., the first user interface), which includes a status bar 921, application icons 922, a fixed application bar 923, and a page control bar 924. Wherein:

[0223] The status bar 921 can include the carrier's name (such as China Mobile), time, Wi-Fi icon, signal strength, and current remaining battery power, etc.

[0224] Application icon 922 can be the icon of multiple applications (such as weather icon, stock icon, calculator icon, settings icon, email icon, Alipay icon, Facebook icon, browser icon, gallery icon, music icon, video icon, memo icon, etc.). The icon of any one application can be used in response to user operation, such as touch operation, so that the second electronic device launches the application corresponding to the icon.

[0225] The fixed application bar 923 may contain icons for multiple applications (e.g., dialer icon, message icon, contact icon, camera icon, etc.). These application icons remain displayed during page transitions on the home screen and do not change with page changes controlled by the page control bar 924. Any application icon contained in the fixed application bar 923 can also be used in response to user actions, such as touch operations, to launch the corresponding application on a second electronic device.

[0226] In some implementations, before step S106 (when the second electronic device approaches or touches the third electronic device), the second electronic device receives a first operation, which is used to select first data to be shared. When the second electronic device displays interface 92, it receives the user's first operation, such as the user clicking the "Multi-screen Collaboration" control. The second electronic device determines that the first data is the currently displayed interface 92 (first user interface) of the second electronic device. After step S106, based on the second connection between the first and second electronic devices, the second electronic device sends the first data to the first electronic device. The first electronic device can generate a collaboration window, such as... Figure 9 As shown, the first electronic device displays a collaboration window 901 and displays an interface 91 through the collaboration window. The content displayed on the interface 91 is the same as that of the first user interface.

[0227] In some implementations, after step S108 (the second electronic device uses the first identifier to establish a second connection with the first electronic device), the second electronic device receives the aforementioned first operation. Then, the second electronic device approaches or touches the third electronic device. Based on the connection between the first and second electronic devices, the second electronic device sends the first user interface to the first electronic device. Furthermore, based on the connection between the first and second electronic devices, the second electronic device sends the first user interface to the first electronic device. For example... Figure 9 As shown, the first electronic device displays a collaboration window 901 and displays an interface 91 through the collaboration window. The content displayed on the interface 91 is the same as that of the first user interface.

[0228] In this implementation, it should be noted that before the second electronic device approaches or touches the third electronic device, in one scenario, if the second connection established between the first and second electronic devices via step S108 is not broken, then the second electronic device does not need to re-establish the second connection with the first electronic device when it approaches or touches the third electronic device, and directly sends the first data (first user interface) to the first electronic device. In another scenario, if the second connection established between the first and second electronic devices has been broken (e.g., if the first and second electronic devices do not share information within a set time, the second connection is automatically broken), then the second electronic device approaches or touches the third electronic device, obtains the first identifier, which includes the Bluetooth address of the first electronic device, and re-establishes the second connection with the first electronic device, thereby sending the first data to the first electronic device. The implementation of establishing the second connection between the second and first electronic devices can be found in the description of steps S106-S108 above, and will not be repeated here.

[0229] In some implementations, after step S108 (the second electronic device establishes a second connection with the first electronic device using the first identifier), the second electronic device receives a first operation from the user, which may be: the user clicking the "Multi-screen Collaboration" control. The second electronic device determines that the first data is the currently displayed interface 92 (first user interface) of the second electronic device. Further, the second electronic device receives a second operation from the user, which may be an operation where the user initiates a sharing task on the second electronic device, such as clicking the "Share" control. Then, based on the connection between the first and second electronic devices, the second electronic device sends the first data to the first electronic device. Figure 9 As shown, the first electronic device displays a collaboration window 901 and displays an interface 91 through the collaboration window. The content displayed on the interface 91 is the same as that of the first user interface.

[0230] In some embodiments, a user can control a second electronic device from a first electronic device through a collaborative window. For example, answering audio or video calls on the second electronic device from the first electronic device, opening files on the second electronic device from the first electronic device, dragging files from the first electronic device to the second electronic device (or dragging files from the second electronic device to the first electronic device), running multiple applications on the second electronic device simultaneously on the first electronic device, and so on.

[0231] The following example, dragging a target file from the first electronic device to the second electronic device, illustrates how a user can control the second electronic device from the first electronic device in multi-screen collaboration mode.

[0232] In some embodiments, the first electronic device detects a target operation that shares a target file to a first application (e.g., a user drags the identifier of a target file stored in the first electronic device onto the icon of the first application in a collaboration window; or a user clicks the left mouse button and drags the identifier of the target file, ending the target operation when the user's finger leaves the left mouse button; or a user presses the touchscreen and drags the identifier of the target file, ending the target operation when the user's finger leaves the touchscreen. The target operation can also be other forms of user operation, which are not limited here), and in response to the target operation, sends the target file and the identifier of the first application to the second electronic device, so that the second electronic device can find the first application through the identifier of the first application and open the target file through the first application.

[0233] The target file can be in the form of text, images, audio, video, links, etc. The first application can include social applications (such as WeChat, QQ, Weibo, etc.), editing applications (such as WPS, Notes, etc.), audio and video applications (such as NetEase Cloud Music, QQ Music, etc.), etc.

[0234] In one possible implementation, please refer to Figure 10A These are some user interface diagrams provided in the embodiments of this application. For example... Figure 10A As shown, window 1001 displays the identifier of the target file "Image 1", and in collaboration window 1002, interface 20 is displayed. Interface 20 is the interface 30 currently displayed by the second electronic device. When the first electronic device detects a target operation acting on the identifier of "Image 1" (such as...), Figure 10AAs shown, the target operation drags the identifier of "Image 1" onto the identifier of "Memo" in the collaboration window 1002. The first electronic device transmits the identifiers of "Image 1" and "Memo" to the second electronic device through the established second connection. After receiving the identifiers of "Image 1" and "Memo", the second electronic device locates the application "Memo" through the identifier of "Memo", and then checks whether "Memo" can open "Image 1". Since "Memo" can open image files, "Image 1" is opened by "Memo" and displayed on the second electronic device, as shown. Figure 10B As shown, the second electronic device automatically creates a new note in the "Memo" and displays it on the screen, as shown in interface 31. Interface 31 includes: a return control 40, a previous operation control 41, a next operation control 42, a save control 43, a title area 44, a content display area 45, and an editing area 46 (including list controls, editing controls, image controls, voice controls, and handwriting controls, etc.). The second electronic device automatically inserts "Image 1" into the content display area 45. The user can continue to edit or save the note. For example, when the second electronic device detects that the user clicks the return control 40, it can display the previous user interface; when the second electronic device detects that the user clicks the save control 43, it can save the content of the current title area 44 and the content display area 45. The second electronic device sends interface 31 to the first electronic device, which updates interface 20 to interface 21, which includes the same content as interface 31.

[0235] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 10C As shown, the user can open the memo in the collaboration window 1002. As shown in interface 22, the memo contains multiple notes. The user drags the identifier of the file "Image 1" to the specified note (here, "Note 1xxxxx") through the target operation and releases the target operation. The first electronic device can send "Image 1", the memo identifier, and the identifier of the specified note to the second electronic device. The second electronic device finds the memo on the second electronic device through the memo identifier and the identifier of the specified note, opens the specified note in the memo, and inserts "Image 1" into the specified note, as shown. Figure 10D As shown in interface 31. The second electronic device sends interface 31 to the first electronic device, causing the interface displayed in the collaboration window 1002 to be updated from interface 22 to interface 23. The first electronic device opens "Image 1" in the specified note "Note 1xxxxx" in the memo through the collaboration window 1002.

[0236] It should be understood that in the multi-screen collaboration mode, the implementation of operating the application on the second electronic device on the first electronic device is not limited to the embodiments provided above, and may also include other implementations. For example, if the first application is "WeChat", in the collaboration window, the first electronic device obtains the user's operation on the "WeChat" icon, the first electronic device sends an operation instruction to the second electronic device to open WeChat, the second electronic device opens WeChat after receiving the instruction, and sends the opened WeChat interface to the first electronic device so that the first electronic device displays the opened WeChat interface in the collaboration window.

[0237] It should be understood that Figures 10A-10D The user interface diagram shown is merely an example of an embodiment of this application. The user interface may also include more or fewer controls, and this application does not impose any limitations.

[0238] Implementation Method (II):

[0239] In some implementations, the first data may be a file selected by the user.

[0240] Please see Figure 11 This is a schematic diagram of a second user interface provided in this application. Preferably, the first electronic device is a computer, the second electronic device is a mobile phone, and the third electronic device is a mouse with NFC and Bluetooth functions. Figure 11 As shown, the second electronic device displays an interface 32 (i.e., the second user interface), which includes multiple file options, such as file option 125 (first file option), and each file option corresponds to a file, such as image 124 (first file) corresponding to file option 125.

[0241] In some implementations, after step S108 (the second electronic device establishes a second connection with the first electronic device using the first identifier), the second electronic device receives a first operation applied to the first file option. This first operation is used to select the first data to be shared; for example, the first operation could be a user clicking the first file option. Figure 11 As shown, the first file option 125 is selected, and the first file corresponding to this first file option 125 (image 124) is the file selected by the user. Further, the second electronic device receives a second operation from the user, which is used to share the first data (in this case, the file selected by the user, or referred to as the first file (image 124)) with the first electronic device. For example, the second operation could be: the user clicks the "share" control on the second electronic device. Then, based on the connection between the first and second electronic devices, the second electronic device sends the file selected by the user to the first electronic device.

[0242] In some implementations, the second electronic device may receive the aforementioned first operation before step S106 (when the second electronic device approaches or touches the third electronic device), such as... Figure 11 As shown, the first file option 125 is selected, and the first file corresponding to the first file option 125 (image 124) is the file selected by the user. Furthermore, based on the second connection between the first electronic device and the second electronic device, the second electronic device sends the first user interface to the first electronic device.

[0243] In some implementations, after step S108, the second electronic device receives the first operation described above, and then the second electronic device approaches or touches the third electronic device. Based on the connection between the first electronic device and the second electronic device, the second electronic device sends the first data (first file) to the first electronic device.

[0244] In this implementation, it should be noted that before the second electronic device approaches or touches the third electronic device, in one scenario, if the second connection established between the first and second electronic devices via step S108 is not broken, then the second electronic device does not need to re-establish the second connection with the first electronic device when it approaches or touches the third electronic device, and directly sends the first data to the first electronic device (Figure 124). In another scenario, if the second connection established between the first and second electronic devices has been broken (e.g., if the first and second electronic devices do not share information within a set time, the second connection is automatically broken), then the second electronic device approaches or touches the third electronic device, obtains the first identifier, which includes the Bluetooth address of the first electronic device, and re-establishes the second connection with the first electronic device, thereby sending the first data to the first electronic device. The implementation of establishing the second connection between the second and first electronic devices can be found in the descriptions of steps S106-S108 above, and will not be repeated here.

[0245] After receiving the first data (first file), the first electronic device can perform corresponding operations on the first file. The following describes one implementation of the first electronic device performing operations on the first file.

[0246] In some implementations, a first electronic device receives a first file; then, the first electronic device uses an application corresponding to the first file to open the first file. Specifically, such as... Figure 11As shown, the second electronic device sends the first file (image 124) to the first electronic device through one of the above implementations, and the first electronic device receives the image 124 sent by the second electronic device. In one implementation, the first electronic device detects the file type of image 124, determines it to be "jpg", and then selects "Paint" to open image 124 and displays the opened image 124 on the screen. Figure 11 As shown, the first electronic device displays a window 1003 on the screen. Window 1003 includes an image display area 121, a left-slide control 122, and a right-slide control 123. The image display area 121 is used to display the opened image 124. In response to a user operation (such as a click) on the left-slide control 122, if the currently displayed image 124 is slid to the right, the first electronic device can display the image preceding image 124. In response to a user operation on the right-slide control 123, if the currently displayed image 124 is slid to the left, the first electronic device can display the image following image 124.

[0247] It should be understood that the operation performed by the first electronic device upon receiving the first file is not limited to the above-mentioned operation. Other implementation methods may also be included, such as the first electronic device storing the first file in a preset storage location. This is not limited here.

[0248] It should be understood that the first electronic device can also send the first file to the second electronic device. That is, the first electronic device receives the user's operation, obtains the first file, and then, based on the second connection between the first electronic device and the second electronic device, the first electronic device sends the first file to the second electronic device.

[0249] It should be understood that this is not limited to the above. Figure 11 The provided user interface diagram may include more or fewer controls, which is not limited here.

[0250] Implementation method (3):

[0251] The first data can also be content copied by a second electronic device.

[0252] Please see Figure 12A This is a schematic diagram of a user interface provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 11 As shown, the second electronic device displays an interface 34, which includes a note "Note 2xxxxx" opened in the memo.

[0253] In some implementations, after step S108 (the second electronic device uses the first identifier to establish a second connection with the first electronic device), the second electronic device receives the user's selection of "AaAAAA", such as... Figure 12AAs shown, "AaAAAA" is the selected content. Then, the second electronic device receives a fourth operation from the user on the selected content. This fourth operation could be a copy operation of the selected content "AaAAAA". The content copied by the second electronic device is the selected content "AaAAAA". Further, the second electronic device receives a second operation from the user, which is used to share the first data (the content copied by the second electronic device) with the first electronic device. For example, the second operation could be the user clicking the "share" control on the second electronic device. Then, based on the connection between the first and second electronic devices, the second electronic device sends the file selected by the user to the first electronic device.

[0254] In some implementations, before step S106 (when the second electronic device approaches or touches the third electronic device), the second electronic device receives a first operation, which is used to select first data to be shared. For example... Figure 11 As shown, the first operation can be a user's selection of "AaAAAA", and the content copied by the second electronic device is the "AaAAAA" selected in the first operation. Furthermore, based on the second connection between the first and second electronic devices, the second electronic device sends the first user interface to the first electronic device.

[0255] In some implementations, after step S108, the second electronic device receives the first operation described above, and then the second electronic device approaches or touches the third electronic device. Based on the connection between the first electronic device and the second electronic device, the second electronic device sends the first data (the content copied by the second electronic device) to the first electronic device.

[0256] In this implementation, it should be noted that before the second electronic device approaches or touches the third electronic device, in one scenario, if the second connection established between the first and second electronic devices via step S108 is not broken, then the second electronic device does not need to re-establish the second connection with the first electronic device when it approaches or touches the third electronic device, and directly sends the first data (the content copied by the second electronic device) to the first electronic device. In another scenario, if the second connection established between the first and second electronic devices has been broken (e.g., if the first and second electronic devices do not share information within a set time, the second connection is automatically broken), then the second electronic device approaches or touches the third electronic device, obtains the first identifier, which includes the Bluetooth address of the first electronic device, and re-establishes the second connection with the first electronic device, thereby sending the first data to the first electronic device. The implementation of establishing the second connection between the second and first electronic devices can be found in the description of steps S106-S108 above, and will not be repeated here.

[0257] It should be understood that, not limited to the implementation methods mentioned above, the second electronic device can also send the content copied by the second electronic device to the first electronic device through other implementation methods, which are not limited here.

[0258] After receiving content copied from the second electronic device, in one implementation, the first electronic device pastes the copied content into the currently displayed user interface. Specifically, the first electronic device detects whether the current focus position is suitable for a paste operation. If so, it automatically pastes the copied content from the second electronic device into the focus position. Thus, from the user's perspective, after performing a copy operation on the first electronic device, simply moving the second electronic device close to the third electronic device will paste the copied content from the second electronic device into the focus position on the first electronic device. Figure 12B As shown, window 1005 displays the opened Word document. After the first electronic device obtains the copied content "AaAAAA", it automatically pastes "AaAAAA" at focus 51.

[0259] In another implementation, when the first electronic device detects the fifth operation, it pastes the content copied by the second electronic device into the user interface currently displayed on the first electronic device. Specifically: such as Figure 12C As shown, window 1005 displays an open Word document. The second electronic device receives the paste operation performed by the user at focus 51 and can paste the content copied by the second electronic device to the focus position on the first electronic device, such as... Figure 12C As shown, paste "AaAAAA" into the focus area of ​​the Word document.

[0260] It should be understood that, through the second connection, the content copied by the first electronic device can also be sent to the second electronic device.

[0261] It should be understood that this is not limited to the above. Figures 12A-12C The provided user interface may include more or fewer controls, which is not limited here.

[0262] The aforementioned information processing method has the following advantages: First, the third electronic device can automatically acquire and store the identifier of the electronic device, solving the problem of difficulty in manually configuring and writing identifiers in existing technologies. Second, through the third electronic device acting as a bridge, the first and second electronic devices can automatically identify, pair, and establish connections without human intervention. Third, the third electronic device can use an active NFC tag with erasable and rewritable capabilities. Compared to existing technologies that fix the identifier of a specific device in the NFC tag, the erasable and rewritable NFC tag allows the third electronic device to pair and connect with multiple different devices, improving the reusability of the NFC tag and enabling the third electronic device to function as a bridge for establishing wireless connections between multiple devices. Fourth, compared to existing technologies that use passive NFC tags, the embodiments of this application use active NFC tags to store identifiers, which can improve the reliability of data during NFC transmission and make data transmission more accurate.

[0263] Example (II):

[0264] Please see Figure 13 This is a flowchart of another information processing method provided in an embodiment of this application. This information processing method can be derived from the above... Figure 2 The various electronic devices in the system architecture diagram shown work together. For example... Figure 13 As shown, the information processing method may include some or all of the following steps.

[0265] S402: The first electronic device and the third electronic device establish a first connection.

[0266] The specific implementation of step S402 can be found in step S102 above, and will not be repeated here.

[0267] S404: The fourth electronic device establishes a third connection with the third electronic device.

[0268] The implementation of step S404 is similar to that of step S202, and will not be described in detail here.

[0269] S406: The third electronic device obtains the first identifier and first instruction information of the first electronic device through the first connection. The first instruction information includes one or more of the device identifier, Bluetooth name, and first preset characters of the first electronic device.

[0270] S408: The third electronic device stores the correspondence between the first identifier and the first instruction information.

[0271] In some possible implementations, the third electronic device can obtain the correspondence between the first identifier and the first indication information, and store the correspondence between the first identifier and the first indication information in the NFC tag.

[0272] S410: The third electronic device obtains the second identifier and second indication information of the fourth electronic device through the third connection. The second identifier includes the Bluetooth address of the fourth electronic device, and the second indication information includes one or more of the device identifier, Bluetooth name, and second preset characters of the fourth electronic device.

[0273] S412: The third electronic device stores the correspondence between the second identifier and the second instruction information.

[0274] In some possible implementations, the third electronic device can obtain the correspondence between the second identifier and the second indication information, and store the correspondence between the second identifier and the second indication information in the NFC tag.

[0275] It should be understood that, in this information processing method, since the NFC tag is used to store the correspondence between the first identifier and the first indication information, and the correspondence between the second identifier and the second indication information, the storage space of the NFC tag can store at least two correspondences between identifiers and indication information.

[0276] In steps S408 and S412 above, the third electronic device stores the correspondence between the first identifier and the first indication information, and the correspondence between the second identifier and the second indication information, into the NFC tag. In one possible implementation: the first electronic device and the third electronic device establish a first connection; the third electronic device obtains the first identifier and the first indication information; then, if the third electronic device detects that the remaining storage space of the NFC tag is greater than a first threshold, and the correspondence between the first identifier and the first indication information does not exist in the NFC tag, the third electronic device stores the correspondence between the first identifier and the first indication information into the NFC tag. Otherwise, the third electronic device outputs an NFC tag writing failure message.

[0277] It should be understood that the first threshold is not a fixed value; the setting of the first threshold is related to the size of the space used to store the identification and indication information in actual applications.

[0278] It should be understood that writing the correspondence between the second identifier and the second indication information into the NFC tag is similar to writing the correspondence between the first identifier and the first indication information into the NFC tag, and will not be elaborated here.

[0279] It should be understood that the implementation of writing the first identifier and the first indication information, and the second identifier and the second indication information into the NFC tag is not limited to the above embodiments, and other implementation methods may also be included, which are not limited here.

[0280] S414: When the first electronic device determines that the focus of the third electronic device is on the first electronic device, the first electronic device sends a first instruction message to the third electronic device; or, when the first electronic device determines that the focus of the third electronic device is not on the first electronic device, the first electronic device sends a second instruction message to the third electronic device.

[0281] Please see Figure 14 This is a schematic diagram illustrating a specific implementation of an information processing method provided in an embodiment of this application. Preferably, the first electronic device is a computer, and the fourth electronic device is a tablet. Figure 14 As shown, in some implementations, the first electronic device and the fourth electronic device can be connected via third-party software (such as "XDisplay") and data cable 161. Furthermore, the user can switch to "Extended" mode on the first electronic device by pressing "Window+P", making the fourth electronic device an extended screen for the first electronic device. The method described in steps S402-S412 above can write the first identifier and first indication information, the second identifier and the second indication information into the NFC tag of the third electronic device. Preferably, the third electronic device is a mouse with NFC and Bluetooth functionality.

[0282] In one possible implementation, after the third electronic device is paired with the first electronic device, the first electronic device can periodically detect the focus position of the third electronic device. When the focus of the third electronic device is detected on the display screen of the first electronic device, the first electronic device sends a first indication message to the third electronic device. The third electronic device receives the first indication message and, based on the stored correspondence between the first indication message and the first identifier, responds to the first indication message and transmits the first identifier during NFC communication. When the focus of the third electronic device is detected not on the display screen of the first electronic device, that is, when the focus of the third electronic device is on the display screen of the fourth electronic device, the first electronic device sends a second indication message to the third electronic device. The third electronic device receives the second indication message and, based on the stored correspondence between the second indication message and the second identifier, responds to the second indication message and transmits the second identifier during NFC communication. For example, if the first indication message is "0" and the second indication message is "1", when the third electronic device receives "0", it transmits the first identifier during NFC communication; when the third electronic device receives "1", it transmits the second identifier during NFC communication. The first indication information can also be the device identifier of the first electronic device, and the second indication information can be the device identifier of the fourth electronic device. When the third electronic device receives the device identifier of the first electronic device, it can transmit the first identifier during NFC communication based on the stored correspondence between the device identifier of the first electronic device and the first identifier. When the third electronic device receives the device identifier of the fourth electronic device, it can transmit the second identifier during NFC communication based on the stored correspondence between the device identifier of the fourth electronic device and the second identifier. For example, the first indication information can also be the Bluetooth name of the first electronic device, and the second indication information can also be the Bluetooth name of the fourth electronic device.

[0283] In some embodiments, when the first electronic device detects that the focus of the third electronic device is not on its display screen and the duration exceeds a preset threshold, the first electronic device sends a second indication message to the third electronic device. The preset threshold is not a fixed value; for example, it may be 1 second, 3 seconds, etc.

[0284] In some embodiments, the fourth electronic device may also periodically detect the focus position of the third electronic device. When the fourth electronic device detects that the focus of the third electronic device is on its display screen, it may send a first message to the first electronic device indicating that the focus of the third electronic device is on its display screen. In response to this first message, the first electronic device sends a second instruction message to the third electronic device. Alternatively, when the fourth electronic device detects that the focus of the third electronic device is on its display screen, it may directly send the second instruction message to the third electronic device.

[0285] When the third electronic device receives the first instruction information, it transmits the first identifier during NFC communication. When the third electronic device receives the second instruction information, it transmits the second identifier during NFC communication.

[0286] For example, when the third electronic device 300 obtains the first identifier of the first electronic device 100, it may also store the first identifier. When the third electronic device 300 obtains the second identifier of the fourth electronic device 400, it may store the second identifier of the fourth electronic device 400.

[0287] When the second electronic device 200 approaches or touches the third electronic device 300, it can obtain the identifier of the electronic device via NFC communication and establish a connection with the electronic device corresponding to the obtained identifier. That is, if the second electronic device 200 obtains the first identifier, it establishes a connection with the first electronic device 100; if the second electronic device 200 obtains the second identifier, it establishes a connection with the fourth electronic device 400. It should be noted that if the second electronic device 200 and the first electronic device 100 have already established a connection before the second electronic device 200 obtains the first identifier, then the second electronic device 200 does not need to establish a connection with the first electronic device 100 again after obtaining the first identifier.

[0288] In some embodiments, the first electronic device 100 can connect to two or more electronic devices as an extended screen. When the third electronic device obtains the identifier of an electronic device, it can store the correspondence between the electronic device identifier and indication information in an NFC tag. The indication information can be the Bluetooth name of the electronic device, the device identifier of the electronic device, or preset characters, etc. The example of the first electronic device 100 connecting to two or more electronic devices as an extended screen is similar to the example described above of the first electronic device 100 connecting to a fourth electronic device 400 as an extended screen, and will not be repeated here.

[0289] The above information processing method allows the second electronic device to establish a connection with the electronic device whose focus is on the third electronic device. For example, when the focus of the third electronic device is on the first electronic device, the second electronic device establishes a connection with the first electronic device; when the focus of the third electronic device is on the fourth electronic device, the second electronic device establishes a connection with the fourth electronic device. Implementing this method allows users to easily switch between multiple electronic devices, enabling interconnection and interoperability between the second electronic device and multiple electronic devices, making information sharing and interaction more convenient.
