[0036] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Usually, the components of the embodiments of the present application described and shown in the accompanying drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present application provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the present application to be protected, but only represents the selected embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present application.

[0037] It should be noted that: Similar reference numerals and letters denote similar items in the following drawings. Therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent drawings. At the same time, in the description of the present application, the terms "first", "second", etc. are only used for distinguishing descriptions and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0038] The Internet of Things (IOT) is a network concept that extends and expands its user side to any object-to-object connection on the basis of the "Internet concept" for information exchange and communication. With the development of Internet of Things technology, some scenarios can be configured in an Internet of Things system. For the configured scenarios, multiple intelligent devices may be involved, and there is a certain linkage relationship between the multiple intelligent devices, enabling them to work together. For example, the configured scenario may include that after two devices are interconnected through communication technologies such as Bluetooth, wifi direct, or wifi screen mirroring, communication data can be transmitted between the two devices.

[0039] In the current technical method, when device A is interconnected with device B, if device A is the target device, device A is made to enter the pairing state and continuously send out broadcasts. Device B searches for the network information of the pairable devices and displays it on the interaction interface. The user manually selects device A (i.e., the target device) from the pairable devices on the interaction interface and initiates a connection. In this process, the user not only needs to manually activate the target device to the pairing state, but also needs to select the pairable target device on another device. And the interconnection between two new devices requires repeating the above process. In this process, the user needs to interact with two devices, with low efficiency, which greatly affects the user experience. Among them, device A and device B can be electronic devices such as Bluetooth headsets, gamepads, Internet of Things devices, TVs, mobile phones, etc.

[0040] As Figure 1 shown in the device interconnection system, assuming that the above-mentioned Device A is the first device and Device B is the second device. Specifically, Figure 1 the device interconnection system shown includes a remote controller 110, a first device 120, and a second device 130. Among them, the first device 120 can receive pairing broadcasts of multiple pairable devices including the second device 130. Then, the first device 120 can display information of these multiple pairable devices on the screen. The user can send a control instruction to the first device 120 through the remote controller 110. This control instruction is used to determine the second device 130 from these multiple pairable devices and instruct the first device 120 to establish a connection with the second device 130. The way the user interacts with the first device through the remote controller has too low interaction efficiency and brings a poor experience to the user.

[0041] Therefore, in order to overcome the above defects, the embodiments of the present application provide a device interconnection method, device, electronic device, and storage medium. The process of controlling the first device and the second device to communicate through the control device can save the user's operation steps for the two devices to be interconnected and improve the interaction efficiency.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 which shows a flowchart of a device interconnection method provided by an embodiment of the present application. This device interconnection method can be applied to a control device. Specifically, this method includes: S210 to S240.

[0043] S210: Receive an interconnection request, where the interconnection request is used to request to connect a first device and a second device.

[0044] In the embodiments of the present application, the interconnection request can be used to request to connect a first device and a second device, that is, to request to establish a communication connection between the first device and the second device. Among them, the communication connection between the first device and the second device can be that the first device and the second device are directly connected, or the first device and the second device are indirectly connected through an intermediate device. In the embodiments of the present application, this intermediate device can be a control device.

[0045] As an implementation manner, the interconnection request can be initiated by a user. For example, the interconnection request can be generated based on an interconnection operation initiated by the user on the connection control interface of the control device. That is to say, when the control device detects an interconnection operation initiated by the user on the connection control interface of the control device, such as detecting that the user is in Figure 3Clicking the "Enable Air Connection" button in the shown connection control interface can generate this connection request in the control device. Optionally, the connection control interface can be the display interface of an application developed by the control device to implement the device connection method. The connection control interface provides an operation entry for the user to control the first device and the second device to be interconnected, enabling the user to control the first device or the second device within the connection control interface of the control device.

[0046] As another implementation, the connection request can be initiated by the first device or the second device. In this case, the connection request can be a specified broadcast sent by the first device or the second device in a pairable state, and the specified broadcast carries the network address of the device that initiates the broadcast. Exemplarily, if the connection request is initiated by the first device, that is, the first device actively requests to establish a communication connection with the second device by sending a connection request. At this time, when the control device receives the connection request, the second device can also receive the connection request. However, since the second device needs to wait for the user to input a confirmation instruction for the second device to connect to the first device before sending a connection to the first device, therefore, in the case where the user has not input the confirmation instruction, the second device will not actively connect to the first device. Then, after the control device obtains the connection request, it can perform subsequent operations to establish the communication connection between the first device or the second device. Additionally, in some embodiments, after the second device receives the connection request, it may actively display an interface for whether to connect to the first device. To avoid the second device displaying this interface and causing interference to the user, the control device can broadcast an ignore request externally after receiving the connection request. The second device can receive the above connection request and the above ignore request. Then, in response to the above ignore request, the second device can ignore the above connection request, that is, not respond to the connection request, thereby avoiding the second device responding to the connection request and further parsing to obtain the network address of the first device and displaying a prompt message for whether to connect to the first device, such as the aforementioned interface.

[0047] Exemplarily, if the first device is a TV and the second device is a game controller, when the user uses the game controller, the game controller sends a connection request by means of Bluetooth broadcast or Wi-Fi broadcast, etc., to request to establish a communication connection with the first device. When an electronic device such as a mobile phone serving as the control device receives the connection request, it can obtain the connection request and further control the TV and the game controller to be interconnected through the mobile phone.

[0048] S220: In response to the connection request, determine whether a target private protocol is configured between the control device and the first device. If so, execute S230; if not, execute S240.

[0049] In an embodiment of the present application, a directed connection instruction is defined under a target private protocol, and the directed connection instruction includes the network information of a second device. Therefore, when a first device receives the directed connection instruction, the first device can obtain the network information of the second device from the directed connection instruction, and then establish a communication connection with the second device based on the network information of the second device. Therefore, if a control device wants to control the first device and the second device to be interconnected through the directed connection instruction, both the control device and the first device need to be configured with the target private protocol, so that the network information of the second device can be transmitted through the directed connection instruction between the control device and the first device, and the first device can be instructed to establish a communication connection with the second device based on the network information through the directed connection instruction.

[0050] In one implementation, the target private protocol can be a custom private communication protocol. The control device can encapsulate the directed connection instruction based on the private communication protocol. Therefore, when the first device receives the directed connection instruction, the first device can decrypt the directed connection instruction based on the private communication protocol, and only after decryption can it obtain the network information of the second device and know that the directed connection instruction is an instruction indicating that the first device establishes a communication connection with the second device based on the network information. That is to say, the private communication protocol needs to be configured in both the control device and the first device.

[0051] Furthermore, when determining whether the target private protocol is configured between the control device and the first device, the control device can send a probe message to the first device based on the private communication protocol, and detect in the control device whether a feedback message from the first device to the probe message is received within a preset time. If a feedback message from the first device to the probe message is received within the preset time, it is determined that the target private protocol has been configured between the control device and the first device; if a feedback message from the first device to the probe message is not received within the preset time, it is determined that the target private protocol has not been configured between the control device and the first device.

[0052] In another implementation, the target private protocol can be the API (Application Programming Interface) of the same SDK (Software Development Kit). When the control device and the first device are both provided with this API, the control device and the first device can both implement the functions of the above SDK through this API. At this time, the directed connection instruction can be an instruction defined under the above SDK, and the generation and parsing of the directed connection instruction can be achieved by calling this API. For example, when the control device calls this API, it can encapsulate the network information of the second device into the directed connection instruction and send the directed connection instruction to the first device; when the first device calls this API, it can parse out the network information of the second device from the directed connection instruction when receiving the directed connection instruction, and establish a communication connection with the second device based on this network information.

[0053] At this time, when determining whether the target private protocol is configured between the control device and the first device, first, the API of the SDK that supports this directed connection instruction configured by the control device itself can be determined, and then test data can be sent to the first device based on this API, and it can be detected whether feedback data from the first device to this test data is received within a preset time. If the feedback data from the first device to this test data is received within the preset time, it is determined that the target private protocol has been configured between the control device and the first device; if the feedback data from the first device to this test data is not received within the preset time, it is determined that the target private protocol has not been configured between the control device and the first device.

[0054] It can be understood that whether the target private protocol is a private communication protocol or an API interface of the same SDK, it is possible to determine whether the target private protocol is configured between the control device and the first device by determining whether the control device and the first device are produced by the same manufacturer. Optionally, it is possible to determine whether the control device and the first device are produced by the same manufacturer through the device identifier of the control device and the device identifier of the first device. Among them, the device identifier of the control device and the device identifier of the first device can both be the manufacturer identifier or the device name set when the device leaves the factory (it can be understood that a device name is usually set when the device leaves the factory, and the device names set by the same manufacturer when leaving the factory have a similar naming rule. Therefore, the manufacturer of the electronic device can be identified through the device name set when leaving the factory. For example, the device names set by the devices produced by the same manufacturer when leaving the factory are all "manufacturer abbreviation-xxx"). In addition, the device identifier of the control device and the device identifier of the first device can also be the MAC address of the device (wherein, the manufacturer of the device usually has a MAC address pool, and a MAC address is selected from this MAC address pool as the MAC address of the device when the device leaves the factory. Therefore, it is possible to determine whether the two are produced by the same manufacturer by determining whether the MAC address of the control device and the MAC address of the first device belong to the same MAC address pool), etc.

[0055] In addition, in some other embodiments, when determining whether the target private protocol is configured between the control device and the first device, it is also possible to obtain the device selection operation of the target option in at least one device option on the device selection interface of the control device, and then determine whether the target private protocol is configured between the control device and the first device based on this target option. Among them, the at least one device option can be used to indicate that the target private protocol is configured between the control device and the first device and / or the target private protocol is not configured between the control device and the first device. Exemplarily, if the target private protocol can only be configured in devices produced by the same manufacturer, for the convenience of user identification, the first device can be called the master device and the second device can be called the slave device. As Figure 4 shown, the first device option indicating "this device is from the same manufacturer as the master device" and the second device option indicating "this device is from a different manufacturer from the master device" can be provided for the user on the device selection interface of the control device. If the target option corresponding to the device selection operation is the first device option, that is, the user selects the first device option on the device selection interface, it is determined that the target private protocol is configured between the control device and the first device; if the target option corresponding to the device selection operation is the second device option, that is, the user selects the second device option on the device selection interface, it is determined that the target private protocol is not configured between the control device and the first device.

[0056] S230: Send the directed connection instruction defined by the target private protocol to the first device. The directed connection instruction includes the network information of the second device, and is used to instruct the first device to establish a communication connection with the second device based on the network information.

[0057] In an embodiment of the present application, a directed connection instruction is defined under the target private protocol, and the directed connection instruction includes the network information of the second device. When the first device receives the directed connection instruction, the first device can obtain the network information of the second device from the directed connection instruction, and then establish a communication connection with the second device based on the network information of the second device. Among them, the network information of the second device may be information used to uniquely identify the second device when the second device communicates with devices other than the second device, for example, it may be any one or a combination of the device name, MAC address, and IP address of the second device. Therefore, if the control device wants to control the first device and the second device to be interconnected through the directed connection instruction, both the control device and the first device need to be configured with the target private protocol, so as to transmit the network information of the second device between the control device and the first device through the directed connection instruction, and instruct the first device to establish a communication connection with the second device based on the network information through the directed connection instruction.

[0058] As can be seen from the foregoing embodiments, when the target private protocol has been configured between the control device and the first device, the control device can transmit the network information of the second device through the directed connection instruction defined by the target private protocol, and the control device can also instruct the first device to establish a communication connection with the second device based on the network information through the directed connection instruction.

[0059] In an embodiment of the present application, the control device can first obtain the network information of the second device. As an implementation manner, when obtaining the network information of the second device, the control device and the second device may be in a state where no communication connection has been established. At this time, the control device can obtain the pairing broadcast sent by the second device, and then obtain the network information of the second device based on the pairing broadcast. That is to say, before the control device obtains the network information of the second device, the second device may be in a pairable state, and the second device can send a pairing broadcast in the pairable state. Thus, when the control device responds to the above interconnection request and determines that the target private protocol has been configured between the control device and the first device, the network information of the second device can be obtained according to the pairing broadcast of the second device. As another implementation manner, when the control device obtains the network information of the second device, the control device and the second device may be in a state where a communication connection has been established. At this time, the control device can send a network query request to the second device, and when receiving the network feedback request for the network query request from the second device, the network information of the second device can be determined from the network feedback request.

[0060] After obtaining the network information of the second device, then, the control device can encapsulate the network information of the second device into a directed connection instruction, and then send the directed connection instruction to the first device. After the first device receives the directed connection instruction sent by the control device, since both the first device and the control device have configured the target private protocol, the first device can parse the network information of the second device from the directed connection instruction and can respond to the directed connection instruction, that is, establish a communication connection with the second device based on the network information of the second device. Optionally, when the first device establishes a communication connection with the second device based on the network information of the second device, the first device can send a directed broadcast containing the network information of the second device. When the second device receives the directed broadcast containing its own network information, the second device can send a connection request to the first device for the directed broadcast. Therefore, when the first device receives the connection request from the second device for the directed broadcast, it can establish a communication connection with the second device.

[0061] As Figure 5 shown, taking the control device as the mobile phone 510 as an example, the first device can be the TV 520, and the second device is the game controller 530, then the game controller 530 needs to be connected to the TV 520. Among them, the mobile phone 510 can continuously detect whether it receives an interconnection request for connecting the game controller 530 and the TV 520, for example, continuously detect whether it receives a device selection operation of a target option in at least one device option on the device selection interface of the mobile phone 510 by the user. If the target option selected by the user is the above first device option, it is determined that the target private protocol has been configured between the mobile phone 510 and the TV 520. In this case, before the mobile phone 510 sends the directed connection instruction defined by the target private protocol to the TV 520, the game controller 530 can be adjusted to the pairable state and a pairing broadcast can be sent. Then, the mobile phone 510 can receive the pairing broadcast of the game controller 530 and obtain the network information of the game controller 530 according to the pairing broadcast. Then the mobile phone 510 encapsulates the network information of the game controller 530 into the directed connection instruction, and then sends the directed connection instruction to the TV 520. After receiving the directed connection instruction, the TV 520 can parse the network information of the game controller 530 from the directed connection instruction and respond to the directed connection instruction, that is, establish a communication connection with the game controller 530 according to the network information of the game controller 530.

[0062] Specifically, the directed broadcast may be a connectable directed broadcast (Connectable Directed Event Type) in Bluetooth. Optionally, in addition to establishing a communication connection through Bluetooth, the first device and the second device may also establish a communication connection using the communication protocols corresponding to communication technologies such as Wi-Fi Direct and Wi-Fi screen mirroring. The embodiments of the present application do not limit the communication protocol used when the first device and the second device establish a communication connection. In addition, the embodiments of the present application do not limit the communication protocol used when the control device obtains the network information of the second device.

[0063] It should be noted that the communication technology used when the control device obtains the network information of the second device may be the same as the communication technology used when the first device and the second device establish a communication connection. For example, both use Bluetooth; it may also be different. For example, the control device uses Bluetooth when obtaining the network information of the second device, while the first device and the second device use Wi-Fi when establishing a communication connection, and so on.

[0064] S240: Establish communication connections with the first device and the second device respectively, so that the communication data between the first device and the second device is forwarded through the control device.

[0065] As can be seen from the foregoing embodiments, in the case where the target private protocol is not configured between the control device and the first device, whether the control device does not configure the target private protocol or the first device does not configure the target private protocol, it is impossible to transmit the directed connection instruction between the control device and the first device. Therefore, it is even more impossible for the control device to instruct the first device to establish a communication connection with the second device based on the network information through the directed connection instruction. It can be seen that in the case where the target private protocol is not configured between the control device and the first device, the control device needs to adopt a different method from the case where the target private protocol is configured between the control device and the first device to control the first device and the second device to communicate.

[0066] In the embodiments of the present application, in the case where the target private protocol is not configured between the control device and the first device, the control device may establish communication connections with the first device and the second device respectively, so that the communication data between the first device and the second device can be forwarded through the control device.

[0067] Exemplarily, such as Figure 6As shown, if the control device is a mobile phone 610, the first device is a TV 620, and the second device is a game controller 630, and the target option selected by the user in the control device 610 is the above-mentioned second device option, it is determined that there is no configured target private protocol between the mobile phone 610 and the TV 620. In this case, the mobile phone 610 can establish communication connections with the game controller 630 and the TV 620 respectively. And when the game controller 630 sends joystick operation data to the TV 620, the game controller 630 can first send the joystick operation data to the mobile phone 610 through the communication connection between the mobile phone 610 and the game controller 630, and then the mobile phone 610 forwards the joystick operation data to the TV 620 through the communication connection between the mobile phone 610 and the TV 620.

[0068] In some embodiments, the first device can be used as the master device, and the second device is the slave device. At this time, the same first device can be interconnected with different types of second devices, that is, the same master device supports accessing different types of slave devices (can be accessed simultaneously or non-simultaneously). It can be understood that the communication protocols supported by different types of second devices may be different. For example, human-computer interaction devices such as mice, keyboards, and game controllers support the hid (Human Interface Device) protocol, while Bluetooth headsets support the A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) protocol. At this time, if the communication connection established between the control device and the first device does not support the communication protocol supported by the second device, the control device cannot forward the communication data between the first device and the second device.

[0069] To solve this problem, in some embodiments, when establishing a communication connection between the control device and the first device, at least one communication connection can be established between the control device and the first device, and each communication connection corresponds to a communication protocol respectively. That is to say, when the second device is a different type of second device, the control device can forward the communication data of the second device through the communication connection corresponding to the communication protocol supported by the second device in at least one communication connection. Exemplarily, each communication connection in at least one communication connection is established based on a physical link or can also be established based on a logical link.

[0070] In some other embodiments, when establishing a communication connection between the control device and the first device, a communication connection can also be established between the control device and the first device. At this time, assuming that the communication protocol corresponding to the communication data of the second device is the specified communication protocol, the communication connection established between the control device and the first device supports the target communication protocol, and the target communication protocol is different from the specified communication protocol, then the control device can convert the communication data of the specified communication protocol generated by the second device into the communication data of the target communication protocol, and then send the communication data of the target communication protocol to the first device through the communication connection between the control device and the first device.

[0071] In the embodiments of the present application, when the control device obtains an interconnection request for connecting the first device and the second device, in response to the interconnection request, when the target private protocol is configured between the control device and the first device, the control device sends a directed connection instruction defined by the target private protocol to the first device, and the directed connection instruction includes the network information of the second device. Therefore, the control device can instruct the first device to establish a communication connection with the second device based on the network information according to the directed connection instruction, and the user does not need to operate the first device too much. When the target private protocol is not configured between the control device and the first device, the control device establishes communication connections with both the first device and the second device, and the control device can be used to perform the forwarding operation of the communication data between the first device and the second device, that is, the control device connects the first device and the second device. Therefore, the process of controlling the first device and the second device to communicate through the control device can save the user's operation steps for the two devices to be interconnected and improve the interaction efficiency.

[0072] Please refer to Figure 7 , Figure 7 shows a flowchart of a device interconnection method provided by another embodiment of the present application. The device interconnection method can be applied to a control device. When the target private protocol is not configured between the control device and the first device, the control device needs to establish communication connections with the first device and the second device respectively. Specifically, S240 may include: S710 to S730.

[0073] S710: If a communication connection has not been established between the control device and the first device before, control the control device to enter a pairable state, and send a pairing broadcast in the pairable state.

[0074] In the embodiments of the present application, the control device is a new device for the first device, that is, when responding to the interconnection request and the target private protocol is not configured between the control device and the first device, a communication connection has not been established between the control device and the first device before. Therefore, to ensure that the control device can forward the communication data between the first device and the second device, a communication connection needs to be established between the control device and the first device.

[0075] Specifically, when establishing a communication connection between the control device and the first device, first, the control device can control itself to enter a pairable state. When the control device is in the pairable state, the control device can be discovered by the first device. When the first device has not established a communication connection with the control device or has not pre-acquired the network information of the control device, the first device needs to pair with the control device. Through the pairing method, communication information is exchanged between the control device and the first device. This communication information can include data such as network information for establishing a connection. Therefore, for a new device, only when the control device enters the pairable state and sends a pairing broadcast can it be scanned by the first device, and then the pairing with the first device can be completed.

[0076] S720: Receive a connection request returned by the first device based on the pairing broadcast.

[0077] S730: In response to the connection request, establish a communication connection with the first device.

[0078] The process of establishing a communication connection between the control device and the first device is described as follows.

[0079] Assume that the control device is a new device to the first device, that is, the control device has not established a communication connection with the first device, or the first device has not obtained the network information of the control device.

[0080] Currently, the control device has not established a communication connection with the first device, and the first device expects to establish a communication connection with the control device. Then, the control device enters the pairable state so that the first device can scan the control device. Then, the first device obtains the network information of the control device and establishes a connection with the control device. As Figure 8 shown, when the control device enters the pairable state, the first device starts to scan the control device. For example, the control device can send a scan request in the form of a pairing broadcast in the pairable state. The pairing broadcast carries the network information of the control device. The first device can respond to the scan request and send a connection request to the control device based on the network information of the control device. The control device parses the connection request, obtains the network information of the first device, and then the control device establishes a communication connection with the first device based on the network information of the first device. Optionally, if the connection between the control device and the first device is through Bluetooth, the communication connection between the control device and the first device can be established based on Bluetooth; if the connection between the control device and the first device is through wifi, the communication connection between the control device and the first device can be established based on wifi.

[0081] Further, in some embodiments, after a communication connection is established between the control device and the first device, the communication data between the first device and the second device can be forwarded through the control device. In this case, during the process from the establishment of the communication connection between the control device and the first device to the forwarding of the communication data between the first device and the second device, the communication connection between the control device and the first device can be maintained all the time. In other embodiments, after a communication connection is established between the control device and the first device, no communication data is generated between the first device and the second device, that is, there is no need to immediately forward the communication data through the control device. At this time, it can be set that if no data transmission is detected between the control device and the first device after a specified time, the communication connection between the control device and the first device is disconnected, and then reconnected when the communication data needs to be forwarded. For the detailed process, please refer to the corresponding steps in the subsequent embodiments and will not be elaborated here.

[0082] As an embodiment, if only one communication connection is established between the control device and the first device, and the communication protocol corresponding to the communication data of the second device is a specified communication protocol, while the communication connection established between the control device and the first device supports the target communication protocol, and the specified communication protocol is different from the target communication protocol, the control device can convert the communication data of the specified communication protocol generated by the second device into the communication data of the target communication protocol, and then send the communication data of the target communication protocol to the first device through the communication connection between the control device and the first device.

[0083] As another embodiment, multiple communication connections can be established between the control device and the first device, and each communication connection corresponds to a communication protocol. That is to say, when transmitting communication data between different types of second devices and the first device, the control device can forward the communication data of the second device through the communication connection corresponding to the communication protocol supported by the second device among the multiple communication connections. Among them, the multiple communication connections in the embodiments of the present application are one or more communication connections.

[0084] Specifically, the control device includes a plurality of virtual devices, each virtual device corresponding to a communication protocol. Moreover, the control device sends multiple pairing broadcasts in the pairable state, each pairing broadcast corresponding to a virtual device of the control device. The above connection requests are also multiple, each connection request corresponding to a pairing broadcast. Therefore, when establishing multiple communication connections between the control device and the first device, the control device can send a pairing broadcast for each virtual device in the pairable state. When the first device receives the pairing broadcasts sent for each virtual device, it can send a connection request for each pairing broadcast. When the control device receives each connection request, it can respond to each connection request and establish a communication connection between each virtual device and the first device based on the communication protocol corresponding to each virtual device. Further, when transmitting communication data between the second device supporting a specified communication protocol and the first device, the control device can forward the communication data of the second device to the communication connection corresponding to the specified communication protocol among the multiple established communication connections.

[0085] In the embodiments of the present application, when establishing a communication connection between the control device and the first device, a communication connection can be established separately for each communication protocol. In this way, through the same control device, it is possible to forward the communication data generated between the first device and the second device based on different communication protocols.

[0086] For example, if the second device is a Bluetooth headset that supports the A2DP protocol, a path connection can be established between the control device and the first device based on the A2DP protocol. If the second device is a gamepad that supports the hid protocol, a path connection can also be established between the control device and the first device based on the hid protocol.

[0087] Please refer to Figure 9 , Figure 9 shows a flowchart of a device interconnection method provided by another embodiment of the present application. This device interconnection method can be applied to a control device. When a target private protocol is not configured between the control device and the first device, it is necessary to establish communication connections between the control device and the first device and between the control device and the second device. Specifically, S240 may further include: S910 to S940.

[0088] S910: When a target private protocol is not configured between the control device and the first device, if a communication connection has been established between the control device and the first device before, control the control device to enter the pairable state.

[0089] S920: Based on at least one back-connection request sent by the first device, back-connect at least one of the multiple successfully established communication connections.

[0090] In an embodiment of the present application, if a communication connection has been successfully established between the control device and the first device, and multiple communication connections that have been successfully established between the control device and the first device are all disconnected. For example, if the control device or the first device is turned off, or no data transmission is detected between the control device and the first device within a specified time, resulting in the disconnection of multiple established communication connections between the control device and the first device, then a communication connection can be re-established by means of back connection. Specifically, when the control device and the first device have been successfully paired, the control device can be controlled to enter a pairable state. At this time, the control device can receive at least one back connection request sent by the first device, and back connect the communication connection corresponding to each back connection request among the multiple successfully established communication connections.

[0091] S930: Determine whether at least one communication connection among the multiple communication connections that have been successfully established between the control device and the first device has been successfully back connected this time.

[0092] S940: If at least one communication connection has been successfully back connected, establish a communication connection between the control device and the second device.

[0093] It can be understood that the communication connection corresponding to each back connection request may be successfully back connected or may fail to be back connected. For example, as Figure 10 shown, 3 communication connections have been successfully established between the control device and the first device. Before back connecting according to the back connection request, all 3 communication connections are disconnected. Then the first device can send 3 back connection requests, and each back connection request corresponds to one communication connection. After the control device receives these 3 back connection requests, it can back connect all 3 successfully established communication connections. If 1, 2, or 3 communication connections are successfully back connected ( Figure 10 in it, 1 communication connection is successfully back connected), then at least one communication connection has been successfully back connected. When at least one communication connection has been successfully back connected, a communication connection with the second device can be established at this time. Please refer to Figure 10 again. The control device can send a scan request in the form of a pairing broadcast in the pairable state. The pairing broadcast carries the network information of the control device; the second device responds to the scan request and sends a connection request to the control device based on the network information of the control device; the control device parses the connection request to obtain the network information of the second device. Then, the control device can establish a communication connection with the second device based on the network information of the second device.

[0094] Further, since each communication connection corresponds to a communication protocol, when at least one communication connection has been successfully reconnected, it is necessary to determine the target communication protocol corresponding to the successfully reconnected communication connection, and then determine whether the target communication protocol belongs to the specified communication protocol supported by the second device. For example, it is determined whether the protocol number corresponding to the target communication protocol is the same as the protocol number of the specified communication protocol supported by the second device. If the target communication protocol belongs to the specified communication protocol supported by the second device, the control device and the second device can establish a connection based on the specified communication protocol, and then the control device can forward the communication data between the first device and the second device through the communication connection corresponding to the target communication protocol that has been successfully reconnected between the control device and the first device.

[0095] If the target communication protocol does not belong to the specified communication protocol supported by the second device, and there may be a specified communication connection corresponding to the specified communication protocol among the communication connections that have not been successfully reconnected, it is necessary to determine whether there is such a specified communication connection among the communication connections that have not been successfully reconnected this time. If there is a specified communication connection corresponding to the specified communication protocol, the first device can be instructed to successfully reconnect to the specified communication connection, and the control device and the second device can establish a communication connection based on the specified communication protocol. If there is no specified communication connection corresponding to the specified communication protocol, that is, there is no specified communication connection corresponding to the specified communication protocol among the multiple communication connections that have been successfully established between the control device and the first device, a new communication connection corresponding to the specified communication protocol can be established between the control device and the first device, and the control device and the second device can establish a communication connection based on the specified communication protocol.

[0096] It can be understood that when the target private protocol is not configured between the control device and the first device, before determining that a communication connection has been successfully established between the control device and the first device and controlling the control device to enter the pairable state, it is first necessary to establish multiple communication connections between the control device and the first device.

[0097] Optionally, as Figure 11 shown, Figure 11 FIG. shows a flowchart of a device interconnection method provided by another embodiment of the present application. The device interconnection method can be applied to a control device. When the target private protocol is not configured between the control device and the first device, before determining that a communication connection has been successfully established between the control device and the first device and controlling the control device to enter the pairable state, it may further include: S1110 to S1120.

[0098] S1110: Generate multiple virtual devices, and each virtual device corresponds to a communication protocol.

[0099] First, the control device can generate multiple virtual devices, and each virtual device corresponds to a communication protocol. In some embodiments, the communication modules of different types of electronic devices can be simulated in the control device, and then the simulated communication modules of various types of electronic devices in the control device are used as virtual devices. Among them, the communication module of each type of electronic device can correspond to a communication protocol, and two or more types of electronic devices can correspond to the same communication protocol. That is to say, the relationship between the virtual device and the communication protocol can be many-to-one. For example, the control device can generate electronic devices such as virtual mice, virtual game pads, virtual Bluetooth headsets, etc. The communication protocols corresponding to the virtual mouse and the virtual game pad are the HID protocol, and the communication protocol corresponding to the virtual Bluetooth headset can be, for example, the A2DP protocol.

[0100] S1120: Establish a communication connection between each virtual device and the first device based on the communication protocol corresponding to each virtual device, and each communication connection between each virtual device and the first device serves as the communication connection between the control device and the first device.

[0101] In some embodiments, a communication connection can be established between each virtual device and the first device respectively, and each communication connection needs to support the communication protocol of the corresponding virtual device. As Figure 12 shown, if the control device 1210 generates three virtual devices, namely, a virtual mouse 1211, a virtual game pad 1212, and a virtual Bluetooth headset 1213, then a communication connection between the virtual mouse 1211 and the first device 1220 is generated based on the HID protocol, a communication connection between the virtual game pad 1212 and the first device 1220 is generated based on the HID protocol, and a communication connection between the virtual Bluetooth headset 1213 and the first device 1220 is generated based on the A2DP protocol, and these three communication connections are all used as the communication connection between the control device 1210 and the first device 1220. When the second device 1230 is a game pad, if the specified communication protocol supported by the game pad is the HID protocol and the above three communication connections have all been successfully reconnected, then a communication connection corresponding to the HID protocol can be selected from the three communication connections. It can be understood that if there are two or more successfully reconnected communication connections, then a communication connection corresponding to the virtual device consistent with the specified device type can be determined from the two or more successfully reconnected communication connections according to the specified device type of the second device as the specified communication connection. Then, after the control device and the second device establish a communication connection, the control device can forward the communication data between the first device and the second device through the specified communication connection between the control device and the first device. As Figure 12As shown, among the successfully reconnected communication connections, the communication protocols corresponding to 2 communication connections are the HID protocol. Then, among these 2 communication connections, the communication connection corresponding to the virtual device that is consistent with the specified device type of the second device, that is, the communication connection corresponding to the virtual gamepad ( Figure 12 the solid line pointing to the virtual gamepad 1212 in

[0102] In this embodiment, multiple communication connections can be established between the control device and the first device in advance. Thereafter, when a new second device needs to transmit communication data with the first device, there is no need to establish a communication connection between the control device and the first device. Instead, only the established multiple communication connections need to be reconnected and a communication connection between the control device and the second device needs to be established. In this way, when a new second device is connected, the connection operation between the control device and the first device can be omitted, saving operation time and improving the interaction efficiency.

[0103] Please refer to Figure 13 , Figure 13 shows a flowchart of a device interconnection method for a first device provided by an embodiment of the present application. This device interconnection method can be applied to the first device. When a target private protocol has been configured between the control device and the first device, the first device can establish a communication connection with the second device based on a directed connection instruction. Specifically, this method can include: S1310 to S11320.

[0104] S1310: When a target private protocol has been configured between the control device and the first device, obtain the directed connection instruction sent by the control device based on the target private protocol. The directed connection instruction is an instruction defined by the target private protocol, and the directed connection instruction includes the network information of the second device.

[0105] S1320: In response to the directed connection instruction, establish a communication connection with the second device based on the network information.

[0106] In an embodiment of the present application, if a target private protocol has been configured between the control device and the first device, then after the first device obtains the directed connection instruction sent by the control device based on the target private protocol, it can parse out the network information of the second device from the directed connection instruction and respond to the directed connection instruction, that is, establish a communication connection with the second device based on the network information of the second device.

[0107] As an embodiment, before obtaining the directed connection instruction, a communication connection can have been established between the first device and the control device so that communication data including the directed connection instruction can be transmitted between the first device and the control device.

[0108] In some embodiments, when the first device establishes a communication connection with the second device based on the network information of the second device, the second device is in a pairable state. At this time, as Figure 14 shown, in response to the directed connection instruction, the first device will enter the connectable state and send a directed broadcast to the second device based on the network information of the second device. After receiving the directed broadcast containing the network information of this device, the second device can return a connection request to the first device based on the directed broadcast. Then, when the first device receives the connection request from the second device, a communication connection with the second device can be successfully established.

[0109] It should be noted that the communication technology used when establishing a communication connection between the first device and the control device can be the same as the communication technology used when establishing a communication connection between the first device and the second device. For example, both use Bluetooth, or they can be different. For example, a Bluetooth connection is established between the first device and the control device, while a Wi-Fi connection is established between the first device and the second device, and so on.

[0110] In addition, in the case where no target private protocol is configured between the control device and the first device, the first device can also establish a communication connection with the control device, and the control device can also establish a communication connection with the second device, so that the communication data between the first device and the second device can be forwarded through the control device.

[0111] It should be noted that for the parts not described in detail in the above steps, reference can be made to the foregoing embodiments and will not be elaborated here.

[0112] Please refer to Figure 15 , Figure 15 which shows a flowchart of a device interconnection method of a device interconnection system provided in an embodiment of the present application. The device interconnection method can be applied to a device interconnection system. The device interconnection system can include a control device, a first device, and a second device. The method can include: S1510 to S1540.

[0113] S1510: The control device receives an interconnection request for requesting to connect the first device and the second device.

[0114] In the embodiments of the present application, the interconnection request can be initiated by a user, or can be initiated by the first device or the second device. The embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0115] S1520: In the case where a target private protocol is configured between the control device and the first device, the control device responds to the interconnection request and sends the directed connection instruction defined by the target private protocol to the first device. The directed connection instruction includes the network information of the second device.

[0116] S1530: In response to the directed connection instruction, the first device establishes a communication connection with the second device based on the network information of the second device.

[0117] In some embodiments, only when a target private protocol has been configured between the control device and the first device, can the first device respond to the directed connection instruction received from the control device, that is, obtain the network information of the second device from the directed connection instruction and establish a communication connection with the second device based on this network information. In the case where no target private protocol is configured between the control device and the first device, the control device cannot instruct the first device to establish a communication connection with the second device through the directed connection instruction. Therefore, the control device needs to adopt a different method from the case where a target private protocol is configured between the control device and the first device to control the first device and the second device to communicate.

[0118] S1540: In the case where no target private protocol is configured between the control device and the first device, the control device responds to the interconnection request and establishes communication connections with the first device and the second device respectively, so that the communication data between the first device and the second device is forwarded through the control device.

[0119] In the embodiments of the present application, in the case where no target private protocol is configured between the control device and the first device, the control device can establish communication connections with the first device and the second device respectively. Therefore, the control device forwards the communication data between the first device and the second device without establishing a communication connection between the first device and the second device.

[0120] It can be understood that the content of steps S1510 to S1540 can refer to the execution process of any of the foregoing method embodiments, and the embodiments of the present application will not be elaborated herein.

[0121] In an embodiment of the present application, when the control device receives an interconnection request for connecting a first device and a second device, in response to the interconnection request, when a target private protocol has been configured between the control device and the first device, the control device sends a directed connection instruction defined by the target private protocol to the first device, and the directed connection instruction includes the network information of the second device. After receiving the directed connection instruction, the first device can establish a communication connection with the second device based on the network information. Therefore, the first device can complete the connection between the first device and the second device based on the indication of the control device, and the user does not need to operate the first device too much. When a target private protocol is not configured between the control device and the first device, the control device establishes communication connections with both the first device and the second device, and the control device can be used to perform the forwarding operation of the communication data between the first device and the second device, that is, the control device connects the first device and the second device. Therefore, the process of controlling the first device and the second device to communicate through the control device can save the user's operation steps for the two devices to be interconnected and improve the interaction efficiency.

[0122] Please refer to Figure 16 , which shows a structural block diagram of a device interconnection device provided in an embodiment of the present application. The device can be applied to a control device, and the device may include: an interconnection detection module 1610, a first connection module 1620, and a second connection module 1630.

[0123] The interconnection detection module 1610 is configured to receive an interconnection request for requesting to connect a first device and a second device.

[0124] The first connection module 1620 is configured to, when a target private protocol has been configured between the control device and the first device, in response to the interconnection request, send a directed connection instruction defined by the target private protocol to the first device, where the directed connection instruction includes the network information of the second device, and the directed connection instruction is used to instruct the first device to establish a communication connection with the second device based on the network information of the second device.

[0125] The second connection module 1630 is configured to, when a target private protocol is not configured between the control device and the first device, in response to the interconnection request, establish communication connections with the first device and the second device respectively, so that the communication data between the first device and the second device is forwarded through the control device.

[0126] Further, the second connection module 1630 includes: a first pairing module, configured to, when no target private protocol is configured between the control device and the first device, in response to the interconnection request, if no communication connection has been established between the control device and the first device before, control the control device to enter a pairable state, and send a pairing broadcast in the pairable state; a request acquisition module, configured to receive a connection request returned by the first device based on the pairing broadcast; and a request response module, configured to establish a communication connection with the first device in response to the connection request.

[0127] Further, the above control device includes a plurality of virtual devices, each of the virtual devices corresponding to a communication protocol. The pairing broadcasts are multiple, each of the pairing broadcasts corresponding to one of the virtual devices of the control device, and the connection requests are multiple, each of the connection requests corresponding to one of the pairing broadcasts. Then, the above request response module may include: a response request sub-module, configured to, in response to each of the connection requests, establish a communication connection between each of the virtual devices and the first device based on the communication protocol corresponding to each of the virtual devices.

[0128] Further, the above second connection module 1630 may further include: a state switching module, configured to, when no target private protocol is configured between the control device and the first device, if a communication connection has been established between the control device and the first device before, control the control device to enter a pairable state; a connection reconnecting module, configured to reconnect at least one of the established multiple communication connections based on at least one reconnect request sent by the first device; a reconnect judgment module, configured to judge whether at least one of the multiple communication connections established between the control device and the first device before has been successfully reconnected this time; and a device connection sub-module, configured to establish a communication connection with the second device if at least one communication connection has been successfully reconnected.

[0129] Further, each of the communication connections corresponds to a communication protocol. Then, the above device connection sub-module may include: a protocol determination module, configured to, if at least one communication connection has been successfully reconnected, determine the target communication protocol corresponding to the successfully reconnected communication connection; and a first device connection module, configured to, if the target communication protocol belongs to the specified communication protocols supported by the second device, establish a communication connection with the second device based on the specified communication protocol.
