[0041] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field belong to the scope of protection of this application.

[0042] The terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present application are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchangeable under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the present application can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described here, and the objects distinguished by "first", "second", etc. are generally of one type, and the number of objects is not limited. For example, the first object can be one or more. In addition, "and / or" in the specification and claims represents at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the objects associated with each other are in an "or" relationship.

[0043] The device control method provided in the embodiment of the present application is described in detail below through some embodiments and their application scenarios in combination with the accompanying drawings.

[0044] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 The multimedia playback device of the embodiment of the present application can be applied to an electronic device, or executed by an electronic device.

[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, the device control method may include the following steps:

[0046] Step 101: Display a target component, where the target component includes at least one identifier.

[0047] In the embodiment of the present application, the target component can be used to manage the playback of multimedia files, such as: selecting or switching the multimedia files to be played; selecting the playback device of the multimedia files, and controlling the playback parameters of the playback device; selecting the environmental parameter adjustment device to be activated when the multimedia files are played, so as to adjust the environmental parameters when the multimedia files are played, such as light or temperature, etc. Therefore, the target component can also be called a projection assistant.

[0048] It is understandable that when the target component is used to implement different functions, the display content of the target component and the content included in the target component may be different.

[0049] For example, in this step, the user uses the target component to select a playback device for the multimedia file and an environmental parameter adjustment device that is activated when the multimedia file is played. At this time, the target component can display at least one of the following: a device identifier indicating the multimedia playback device; a device identifier indicating the environmental parameter condition device; a scheme identifier indicating the playback scheme, and the playback scheme corresponds to the multimedia playback device and the environmental parameter adjustment device.

[0050] For easier understanding, see Figure 2 .exist Figure 2 In the embodiment, the target component includes a first area, a second area and a third area, wherein the first area is a display area for indicating a device identification of a multimedia file playback device; the second area is a display area for indicating a device identification of an environmental parameter adjustment device; and the third area is a display area for indicating a program identification of a playback program.

[0051] In a specific implementation, the target component may be always displayed on the desktop of the electronic device, or may be displayed on the desktop of the electronic device in response to a user input. For the latter, in an optional implementation, the display target component includes:

[0052] Receiving a long press input on a blank area of ​​the desktop of the electronic device;

[0053] In response to the long press input, displaying a component page, wherein the component page displays at least one component including the target component;

[0054] Receiving a touch input for the target component;

[0055] In response to the touch input, the target component is displayed.

[0056] In this embodiment, if it is detected that the user long presses a blank area on the desktop, the electronic device can display a component page, which may include at least one component, and if it is detected that the user selects the target component in the component page, the target component is added to the desktop.

[0057] In this way, compared to always displaying the target component on the desktop, the target component is displayed on the desktop only when a corresponding trigger input from the user is received, thereby maintaining the cleanliness of the desktop.

[0058] Step 102: Receive a first input of a target identifier in the at least one identifier from a user.

[0059] The first input may be a touch input to the target identifier, such as a click input, a long press input, etc.

[0060] In the embodiment of the present application, the target identifier may include one of the following:

[0061] a first device identifier and a second device identifier;

[0062] First scheme identification;

[0063] The first device identifier is used to indicate a first device, which is a multimedia file playback device; the second device identifier is used to indicate a second device, which is an environmental parameter adjustment device; the first scheme identifier is used to indicate a first playback scheme, which corresponds to the first device and the second device.

[0064] Step 103: In response to the first input, control the first device to play the multimedia file, and control the second device to start.

[0065] The multimedia file played by the first device may be selected by the user or the system default device.

[0066] The startup of the first device may be controlled by an electronic device, or by a remote control device of the first device, which may be determined according to actual conditions and is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

[0067] In the device control method of this embodiment, the user can directly interact with the target component to control the multimedia file playback device to play the multimedia file and control the startup of the environmental parameter adjustment device. In this way, the user does not need to independently operate the multimedia application, the multimedia file playback device and the environmental parameter adjustment device, so that the device control operation can be performed, thereby simplifying the multimedia file playback operation.

[0068] In the case where the multimedia file played by the first device is selected by a user, in some embodiments, the target component includes a user input control;

[0069] Before controlling the first device to play the multimedia file, the method further includes:

[0070] receiving a second input from a user to the user input control;

[0071] In response to the second input, a multimedia file identifier is displayed, where the multimedia file identifier is used to indicate the multimedia file, and the multimedia file is determined as a multimedia file to be played.

[0072] In a specific implementation, the user input control may be a search box, and the second input may be used to input relevant information of the multimedia file in the search box, such as the name of the multimedia file, the name of an actor, or the name of a character, etc. In response to the second input, the electronic device may search for the multimedia file based on the relevant information of the multimedia file, and display a multimedia file identifier indicating the multimedia file.

[0073] In one implementation, the electronic device may directly determine the multimedia file as the multimedia file to be played; in another implementation, the electronic device may determine the multimedia file as the multimedia file to be played upon receiving a touch input from the user to the multimedia file identifier.

[0074] Through the above method, the user can select the multimedia file to be played through the user input control based on his / her own needs, thereby improving the flexibility of multimedia file playback.

[0075] Furthermore, in addition to the user input control, the target component may also include at least one of the following: multimedia file push information may include at least one multimedia file identifier for indicating a recommended multimedia file; multimedia file history play information may include at least one multimedia file identifier for indicating a historically played multimedia file. In this case, the user may select a multimedia file to be played by directly touching the corresponding multimedia file identifier without inputting information, thereby simplifying the efficiency of selecting the multimedia file to be played.

[0076] For easier understanding, see Figure 3 .exist Figure 3 In a, the user input control is represented by a search box; the multimedia file push information is represented by the whole network hot broadcast; the multimedia file history playback information is represented by: the screening history 1-3. After the user enters the relevant information of the multimedia file in the search box, the electronic device can display the multimedia file identifiers matching the relevant information. Furthermore, the electronic device can display the multimedia file identifiers in different zones based on the source of the multimedia file, such as Figure 3 As shown in b, the target component may include multiple areas, one of which is used to display identification information of multimedia files searched from a local resource manager of the electronic device, and another area is used to display identification information of multimedia files searched from various applications installed in the electronic device. Figure 3 In the present invention, the identification of the multimedia file is presented as an icon and a name, but is not limited thereto.

[0077] In some embodiments, after receiving a first input of a target identifier in the at least one identifier from a user, the method further includes:

[0078] In response to the first input, the target identifier is updated and displayed.

[0079] In an embodiment of the present application, before receiving the first input, the target identifier may be displayed in a first display state. After receiving the first input, the display state of the target identifier may be switched from the first display state to a second display state, so that the user can identify the selected multimedia file playback device and environmental parameter adjustment device, thereby improving the reliability of device selection.

[0080] For easier understanding, please continue to refer to Figure 2 .exist Figure 2 In b, a selection mark is displayed near the target mark. Of course, in other implementations, the second display state can be distinguished from the first display state by: performing other visual enhancements on the target mark, such as changing the display color of the target mark, enlarging the display size of the target mark, etc.

[0081] In some embodiments, the target component includes a device scan control, and the method further includes:

[0082] receiving a ninth input from a user to the device scanning control;

[0083] In response to the ninth input, displaying an image preview interface of a camera of the electronic device and k device identifiers for indicating k devices on the target component;

[0084] A second scheme identifier is displayed, where the second scheme identifier is used to indicate a second playback scheme, and the second playback scheme corresponds to the k devices.

[0085] Among them, the k devices are multimedia file playback devices and environmental adjustment devices recognized by the electronic device in the image preview interface, the k device identifiers include the first device identifier and the second device identifier, and k is an integer greater than 1.

[0086] In this embodiment, the device scanning control is used to control the camera of the electronic device to start. The user can select the first device and the second device through the camera.

[0087] For easier understanding, see Figure 4 ,exist Figure 4 In the example, the device scanning control is presented as a "quickly select by camera" control. After receiving the user's input to the control, the electronic device may respond to the input, such as Figure 4 As shown in b and c in the figure, the target component displays the image preview interface of the camera, and the identifiers of the devices recognized by the electronic device in the image preview interface, that is, the k device identifiers. It can be understood that during the movement of the electronic device, the image preview interface of the camera will change, such as Figure 4As shown in b and c, the device identification displayed in the image preview interface may change.

[0088] In this embodiment, the user can control the first device to play the multimedia file and control the start-up of the second device by touching the target identifier in the image preview interface.

[0089] Further, after receiving a first input of a target identifier in the at least one identifier from a user, before controlling the first device to play a multimedia file and before controlling the second device to start, Figure 4 As shown in d, the device indicated by the target identifier can be first determined as a candidate device. When it is detected that the user touches the "select" control, the first device is controlled to play the multimedia file and the second device is controlled to start. In this way, the reliability of device selection can be improved.

[0090] Furthermore, the electronic device may use the device identified by the electronic device in the image preview interface as a new playback solution for the user to directly use next time, thereby improving the efficiency of device selection.

[0091] In some embodiments, displaying the image preview interface of the camera of the electronic device and the k device identifiers for indicating the k devices on the target component may include:

[0092] Displaying an image preview interface of a camera of the electronic device on the target component;

[0093] Acquire characteristic information of devices in the first area;

[0094] According to the feature information, identifying the k devices in the image preview interface;

[0095] Displaying k device identifiers indicating k devices on the target component;

[0096] Among them, the first area is the area where the electronic device is located, the first area includes the collection area of ​​the camera, and the feature information includes at least one of shape information, location information and communication information.

[0097] In a specific implementation, after acquiring the image preview interface of the camera, the electronic device can identify the morphological information of each object in the image preview interface through technologies such as augmented reality (AR).

[0098] The communication information of the device may be used to determine the location information of the communication, and the communication information may be Bluetooth connection information, but is not limited thereto.

[0099] The electronic device can match the morphological information of each object in the image preview interface with the morphological information of each device in the first area, and use the orientation information of the camera to determine the position information of each object in the image preview interface, and then match the position information of each object in the image with the position information of each device in the first area to achieve identification of each device in the image preview interface.

[0100] In this embodiment, the user can select a device based on the image captured by the electronic device, which can ensure that the selected device matches the device the user expects to select, thereby improving the reliability of device selection.

[0101] In some embodiments, when the target identifier includes: a first device identifier and a second device identifier, in response to the first input, controlling the first device to play the multimedia file and controlling the second device to start may include:

[0102] In response to the first input, displaying a first device identifier, a second device identifier, and a first control on the target component;

[0103] In response to the input to the first control, the first playing scheme is generated; the first device is controlled to play the multimedia file, and the second device is controlled to start.

[0104] For easier understanding, please refer to Figure 5 After the user touches the target icon, the Figure 5 In a, after the user clicks the "confirm" control, the target component is triggered to display the first device identifier, the second device identifier and the first control, that is, Figure 5 b in Figure 5 In the example, the first control is a "confirm whether to save the projection plan" control. When the user touches the first control, the electronic device can generate the first projection plan. After the user touches the "start projection" control, the electronic device can control the first device to play the multimedia file and control the start of the second device.

[0105] In this embodiment, the user can generate a first playback scheme by touching the first control. In this way, when selecting a device later, the user can directly touch the scheme identifier corresponding to the first playback scheme to quickly select the first device and the second device, thereby further improving the efficiency of device selection.

[0106] In some embodiments, after receiving a first input of a target identifier in the at least one identifier from a user, the method may further include:

[0107] In response to the first input, the target component displays: the target identifier, which is used to indicate the multimedia file identifier of the multimedia file.

[0108] In this embodiment, the electronic device may respond to the first input, such as Figure 6 As shown, the target identifier is displayed in the target component to indicate the multimedia file identifier of the multimedia file, so that the user can identify the multimedia file to be played and the device used when playing the multimedia file.

[0109] Furthermore, if Figure 6 As shown, the target component may also include playback control controls for multimedia files, and the playback control controls may include controls such as play, pause, stop, fast forward, and slow down. In this way, the user can control the playback of the multimedia file by touching the playback control controls, thereby further simplifying the control operations of the multimedia project files.

[0110] In some embodiments, Figure 7 As shown, the target component includes a stop control;

[0111] After controlling the first device to play the multimedia file and controlling the second device to start, the method further includes:

[0112] receiving a third input from the user to the stop control;

[0114] In this embodiment, if Figure 7 As shown in a, the user can touch the stop control to trigger the electronic device to turn off at least one of the first device and the second device. In this way, the user can directly turn off the device through the target component, thereby improving the control flexibility of the device.

[0115] Furthermore, if Figure 7 As shown in b, after controlling the first device and the second device, the electronic device can re-display the multimedia file display page on the target component so that the user can re-manage the playback of the multimedia file based on the target component.

[0116] In some embodiments, after controlling the first device to play the multimedia file and controlling the second device to start, the method further includes:

[0117] receiving a fourth input of the first device identifier from a user;

[0118] In response to the fourth input, displaying a remote control interface of the first device on the target component;

[0119] receiving a fifth input from a user on the remote control interface;

[0120] In response to the fifth input, the first device is remotely controlled.
