[0031] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below. Implementations of the embodiments are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present application and are not to be construed as limiting the present application.

[0032] In the description of the embodiments of this application, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the described features. In the description of the embodiments of this application, the meaning of "plurality" is two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0033] See also Figure 1-Figure 3 The prompt method of the embodiment of the present application is used for the terminal device 100. The prompt method includes:

[0034] 011: When the target broadcast signal is scanned and the in-box status of the device to be connected 200 corresponding to the target broadcast signal is outside the charging box, the information control of the device to be connected 200 is not displayed, wherein the target broadcast signal carries the in-box status information of the device to be connected 200.

[0035] The prompt method of the embodiment of the present application can be implemented by the terminal device 100 of the embodiment of the present application. Specifically, the terminal device 100 includes a first processor 10. The first processor 10 is configured to not display the information control of the to-be-connected device 200 when scanning a target broadcast signal and the in-box status of the to-be-connected device 200 corresponding to the target broadcast signal is outside the charging box, wherein the target broadcast signal carries the in-box status information of the to-be-connected device 200.

[0036] The prompting method of the embodiment of the present application can be implemented by the prompting device 12 of the embodiment of the present application. Specifically, the prompting device 12 is used in the terminal device 100. The prompting device includes a first display module 121, which is configured to not display the information control of the to-be-connected device 200 when a target broadcast signal is scanned and the in-box status of the to-be-connected device 200 corresponding to the target broadcast signal is outside the charging box, wherein the target broadcast signal carries the in-box status information of the to-be-connected device 200.

[0037] It is understandable that in the related art, the positional relationship between the device to be connected and the charging box is not taken into consideration. Regardless of whether the device to be connected is located inside or outside the charging box, whether to display the information control of the device to be connected is uniformly determined based on the signal strength of the target broadcast signal scanned by the terminal device or the distance between the terminal device and the device to be connected. For example, when the signal strength of the target broadcast signal scanned by the terminal device is greater than or equal to the target signal strength or the distance is less than or equal to the prompt distance, the information control of the device to be connected will be displayed on the terminal device; when the signal strength of the target broadcast signal scanned by the terminal device is less than the target signal strength or the distance is greater than the prompt distance, the information control of the device to be connected will not be displayed on the terminal device. However, when the target signal strength is determined based on the target broadcast signal being sent by the device to be connected while it is located inside the charging box, it is possible that when the device to be connected takes out the charging box and sends the target broadcast signal outside the charging box, the signal strength of the target broadcast signal scanned by other terminal devices farther away from the device to be connected is greater than or equal to the target signal strength, thereby causing disturbance by displaying the information control.

[0038] In the prompt method, terminal device 100 and prompt device 12 of the present application, the positional relationship between the device to be connected 200 and the charging box is taken into consideration to dynamically determine whether to display the information control of the device to be connected 200, so as to better control the situation of frequent prompts, thereby avoiding the trouble of frequent prompts to the user and improving the user experience.

[0039] Specifically, the terminal device 100 includes but is not limited to mobile phones, tablet computers, laptop computers, personal computers, wearable smart devices, and smart home appliances. The device to be connected 200 can be understood as a device that supports the terminal device 100 to display information controls. The information controls may include pop-up windows. The pop-up windows may include identification information of the device to be connected 200, etc. When the information control is a pop-up window, the device to be connected 200 may include wireless headphones, Bluetooth speakers, smart home appliances, etc. that support the terminal device 100 to provide quick pop-up prompts. The terminal device 100 can be wirelessly connected to the device to be connected 200 via Bluetooth, infrared, etc. In some embodiments, the charging box can accommodate the device to be connected 200 and can power the device to be connected 200. In some embodiments, when the device to be connected 200 is accommodated in the charging box, the charging box can protect the device to be connected 200 to achieve the purposes of waterproofing, dustproofing, anti-collision, and easy portability.

[0040] Furthermore, the target broadcast signal may include a Bluetooth broadcast signal. The Bluetooth broadcast signal may include a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) broadcast signal or a classic Bluetooth broadcast signal. Since the target broadcast signal carries the in-box status information of the device to be connected 200, the terminal device 100 can determine the in-box status of the device to be connected 200 based on the target broadcast signal transmitted by the scanned device to be connected 200, that is, determine that the device to be connected 200 is inside the charging box or determine that the device to be connected 200 is outside the charging box. When it is determined that the device to be connected 200 is outside the charging box, regardless of whether the signal strength of the target broadcast signal is greater than the target signal strength, and regardless of whether the distance between the device to be connected 200 and the terminal device 100 is less than the prompt distance, the terminal device 100 does not display the information control of the device to be connected 200, thereby avoiding causing disturbance.

[0041] See also Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the prompting method further comprises:

[0042] 013: When a target broadcast signal is scanned and the in-box status of the device to be connected 200 corresponding to the target broadcast signal is in the charging box, determining whether the target broadcast signal meets the display condition;

[0043] 015: When the target broadcast signal meets the display conditions, display the information control of the device to be connected 200;

[0044] 017: When the target broadcast signal does not meet the display conditions, the information control of the device to be connected 200 is not displayed.

[0045] The prompt method of the above embodiment can be implemented by the terminal device 100 of the embodiment of the present application. Specifically, the first processor 10 is used to determine whether the target broadcast signal meets the display conditions when scanning the target broadcast signal and the in-box status of the to-be-connected device 200 corresponding to the target broadcast signal is located in the charging box, and to display the information control of the to-be-connected device 200 when the target broadcast signal meets the display conditions, and to not display the information control of the to-be-connected device 200 when the target broadcast signal does not meet the display conditions.

[0046] The prompt method of the above embodiment can be implemented by the prompt device 12 of the embodiment of the present application. Specifically, the prompt device 12 also includes a second determination module 123, a second display module 125 and a third display module 127. The second determination module 123 is used to determine whether the target broadcast signal meets the display conditions when the target broadcast signal is scanned and the in-box status of the device 200 to be connected corresponding to the target broadcast signal is located in the charging box. The second display module 125 is used to display the information control of the device 200 to be connected when the target broadcast signal meets the display conditions. The third display module 127 is used to not display the information control of the device 200 to be connected when the target broadcast signal does not meet the display conditions.

[0047] In this way, when the device to be connected 200 is located in the charging box, it can be determined whether to display the information control of the device to be connected 200 according to the display conditions, thereby effectively avoiding false interruptions and improving the user experience.

[0048] In some embodiments, while displaying the information control of the device to be connected 200, the prompt method also includes performing a vibration reminder and / or voice reminder corresponding to the information control of the connected device. In this way, prompts can be given in multiple ways to prevent the user from missing this prompt.

[0049] See also Figure 6 In some embodiments, the display condition includes that the signal strength of the target broadcast signal is greater than or equal to the target signal strength. Step 015 includes:

[0050] 0151: when the signal strength of the target broadcast signal is greater than or equal to the target signal strength, display the information control of the device to be connected 200;

[0051] Step 017 includes:

[0052] 0171: When the signal strength of the target broadcast signal is less than the target signal strength, the information control of the device to be connected 200 is not displayed.

[0053] The prompt method of the above embodiment can be implemented by the terminal device 100 of the embodiment of the present application. Specifically, the first processor 10 is configured to display the information control of the device to be connected 200 when the signal strength of the target broadcast signal is greater than or equal to the target signal strength, and to not display the information control of the device to be connected 200 when the signal strength of the target broadcast signal is less than the target signal strength.

[0054] The prompting method of the above embodiment can be implemented by the prompting device 12 of the embodiment of the present application. Specifically, the second display module 125 is configured to display the information control of the device to be connected 200 when the signal strength of the target broadcast signal is greater than or equal to the target signal strength. The third display module 127 is configured to not display the information control of the device to be connected 200 when the signal strength of the target broadcast signal is less than the target signal strength.

[0055] In this way, when the device to be connected 200 is in the charging box, it can be determined whether to display the information control of the device to be connected 200 based on the relationship between the signal strength of the target broadcast signal and the target signal strength, thereby effectively avoiding false interruptions and improving user experience.

[0056] Specifically, the signal strength of the target broadcast signal can be characterized by a received signal strength indicator (RSSI). Whether to display the information control of the device to be connected 200 is determined based on the signal strength of the scanned target broadcast signal. The scanned target broadcast signal strength can be directly compared with the target signal strength. If the signal strength is greater than or equal to the target signal strength, it is considered that the distance between the two is within the prompt range. If the signal strength is less than the target signal strength, it is considered that the distance between the two is beyond the prompt range. The target signal strength is related to the desired prompt distance of the device to be connected 200. Of course, the signal strength of the scanned target broadcast signal can also be converted into distance, and then the converted distance is compared with the prompt distance to determine whether to prompt. These schemes are all within the scope of protection of this application. The prompt distance is the distance at which the terminal device 100 is expected to display the information control of the device to be connected 200.

[0057] It is understandable that the target signal strength can be pre-set through experiments or set by the user. For example, when set through experiments, the device to be connected 200 can be kept at the desired prompt distance (for example, 25cm, 30cm, 35cm) from the test device, and then the signal strength of the target broadcast signal emitted by the device to be connected 200 in the charging box received by the test device is recorded, and the tested signal strength is used as the target signal strength and saved. In actual use, the terminal device 100 can determine whether the display conditions are met based on the signal strength of the scanned target broadcast signal and the target signal strength, and then determine whether to display the information control of the device to be connected 200.

[0058] In one example, the terminal device is a mobile phone, and the device to be connected is a True Wireless Stereo (TWS) Bluetooth headset, and the information control of the device to be connected is displayed in the form of a pop-up window. The mobile phone and the TWS Bluetooth headset can be connected wirelessly via Bluetooth, and data can be transmitted between the mobile phone and the TWS Bluetooth headset. The left and right earphones of the TWS Bluetooth headset are independent of each other and do not need to be connected by cables, so the left and right channels can be wirelessly separated. The TWS Bluetooth headset can be accommodated in a charging box. When the TWS Bluetooth headset is accommodated in the charging box, the charging box can both power the TWS Bluetooth headset and protect the TWS Bluetooth headset. When the target signal strength of the target broadcast signal emitted by the TWS Bluetooth headset scanned by the mobile phone is greater than or equal to the target signal strength, the information control of the TWS Bluetooth headset will be displayed in a pop-up window on the mobile phone. When the target signal strength is less than the target signal strength, the information control of the TWS Bluetooth headset will not be displayed on the mobile phone.

[0059] It can be understood that the TWS Bluetooth headset can be set to send a BLE broadcast signal in the form of a BLE broadcast signal when it determines that the charging box is open. The BLE broadcast signal can adopt a private protocol, so that the mobile phone can determine whether the sending device is a TWS Bluetooth headset based on the signal situation. The BLE broadcast can be a connectable broadcast. Furthermore, the BLE broadcast signal can be set to be sent when the charging box is opened for the first time, or when it is not opened for the first time. Of course, it can also be set to be sent in other situations. The BLE broadcast signal can be a broadcast signal containing the battery information of the TWS Bluetooth headset, so that the mobile phone can display a prompt containing the battery level after receiving the BLE broadcast signal; optionally, the BLE broadcast can also trigger the mobile phone to display a prompt representing the information of the TWS Bluetooth headset after receiving the BLE broadcast. Further, the prompt can enable the user of the mobile phone to choose to establish a Bluetooth connection with the TWS Bluetooth headset; optionally, the mobile phone can also determine the form of the pop-up window based on whether there is a pairing history record. For example, if there is no pairing record with the TWS Bluetooth headset, a pop-up window will pop up for the user to establish a Bluetooth connection with the TWS Bluetooth headset; for example, if the mobile phone has previously had a pairing record with the TWS Bluetooth headset, since the TWS Bluetooth headset will directly initiate a return connection with the mobile phone, the mobile phone will not pop up a connectable pop-up window like the first pairing. The mobile phone can be set to pop up a pop-up window indicating a successful connection after the connection is established.

[0060] In some embodiments, the information control includes identification information of the device to be connected 200. Displaying the information control of the device to be connected 200 includes: displaying the identification information of the device to be connected 200.

[0061] The prompt method of the above embodiment can be implemented by the terminal device 100 of the embodiment of the present application. Specifically, the first processor 10 is used to display the identification information of the device 200 to be connected.

[0062] The prompting method of the above embodiment can be implemented by the prompting device 12 of the embodiment of the present application. Specifically, the second display module 125 is used to display the identification information of the device 200 to be connected.

[0063] In this way, the user can determine whether to connect to the device 200 to be connected based on the displayed identification information of the device 200 to be connected.

[0064] Specifically, the identification information may include a device ID, device model, device name, etc. In some embodiments, the identification information of the device to be connected 200 may be displayed in a pop-up window. In some embodiments, while displaying the identification information of the device to be connected 200, a connect / pairing button is provided. When the connect / pairing button is triggered, the terminal device 100 connects to the device to be connected 200, thereby enabling the terminal device 100 to transmit data with the device to be connected 200. In some embodiments, after the terminal device 100 connects to the device to be connected 200 once, the next time the terminal device 100 determines that the signal strength of the target broadcast signal of the same device to be connected 200 is greater than or equal to the target signal strength, the terminal device 100 may no longer display the identification information of the same device to be connected 200, and the terminal device 100 may directly connect to the same device to be connected 200. Alternatively, a successful connection message may be displayed when the connection is successful. Because the connection information, such as the pairing key, is retained after the initial connection, subsequent connections can be directly established. Therefore, a successful connection message may be displayed directly without the user having to click to establish the connection.

[0065] In some embodiments, while displaying the identification information of the device to be connected 200 and providing a connect / pair button, an optional box is provided. When the optional box is selected, the next time the terminal device 100 determines that the signal strength of the target broadcast signal of the same device to be connected 200 is greater than or equal to the target signal strength, the terminal device 100 no longer displays the identification information of the same device to be connected 200, and the terminal device 100 directly connects to the same device to be connected 200; when the optional box is not selected, the next time the terminal device 100 determines that the signal strength of the target broadcast signal of the same device to be connected 200 is greater than or equal to the target signal strength, the terminal device 100 will still display the identification information, connection button and optional box of the same device to be connected 200, and the terminal device 100 will connect to the same device to be connected 200 again only when the connection button is triggered.

[0066] See also Figure 7 and Figure 8 In some embodiments, before step 011, the prompting method further includes:

[0067] 018: Analyze the scanned target broadcast signal to determine the in-box status information of the device 200 to be connected.

[0068] The prompt method of the above embodiment can be implemented by the terminal device 100 of the embodiment of the present application. Specifically, the first processor 10 is used to parse the scanned target broadcast signal to determine the box status information of the device 200 to be connected.

[0069] The prompting method of the above embodiment can be implemented by the prompting device 12 of the embodiment of the present application. Specifically, the prompting device 12 also includes a first parsing module 128. The first parsing module 128 is used to parse the scanned target broadcast signal to determine the box status information of the device 200 to be connected.

[0070] In this way, the terminal device 100 can determine whether the device to be connected 200 is located inside or outside the charging box, and thus determine whether to display the information control of the device to be connected 200 according to the in-box status of the device to be connected 200.

[0071] Specifically, the device 200 to be connected can pre-determine its own in-box status, that is, the device 200 to be connected can determine whether it is inside the charging box or outside the charging box, and then the device 200 to be connected transmits a target broadcast signal carrying the in-box status information to the terminal device 100. After receiving the target broadcast signal transmitted by the device 200 to be connected, the terminal device 100 parses the in-box status information in the target broadcast signal to determine whether the device 200 to be connected is inside or outside the charging box.

[0072] It can be understood that the in-box status information here can be expressed as the in-box status information of the device to be connected 200 when packaging the target broadcast signal, that is, whether it is located inside or outside the charging box when packaging the target broadcast signal, or, the in-box status information collected most recently one or more times before packaging the target broadcast signal, so as to more objectively reflect whether the device to be connected 200 is located inside or outside the charging box when transmitting the target broadcast signal.

[0073] It can be understood that, referring to the previous example, the TWS Bluetooth headset can be set to send a BLE broadcast packet carrying the box status information when it determines that the charging box is open, so that the receiving mobile phone can obtain the box status information by parsing the BLE broadcast packet, and then determine whether to display the information control of the TWS Bluetooth headset based on the box status.

[0074] Please combine Figure 9 and Figure 10 In some embodiments, before step 018, the prompting method further includes:

[0075] 019: parsing the target broadcast signal transmitted by the scanned device to be processed to determine whether the device to be processed is the device to be connected 200;

[0076] Step 018 includes:

[0077] 0181: When the device to be processed is the device to be connected 200, the scanned target broadcast signal is parsed to determine the in-box status information of the device to be connected 200.

[0078] The prompt method of the above embodiment can be implemented by the terminal device 100 of the embodiment of the present application. Specifically, the first processor 10 is used to parse the scanned target broadcast signal transmitted by the device to be processed to determine whether the device to be processed is the device to be connected 200, and to parse the scanned target broadcast signal to determine the box status information of the device to be connected 200 when the device to be processed is the device to be connected 200.

[0079] The prompting method of the above embodiment can be implemented by the prompting device 12 of the embodiment of the present application. Specifically, the prompting device 12 also includes a second parsing module 129. The second parsing module 129 is configured to parse the scanned target broadcast signal transmitted by the device to be processed to determine whether the device to be processed is the device to be connected 200. The first parsing module is configured to parse the scanned target broadcast signal to determine the in-box status information of the device to be connected 200 when the device to be processed is the device to be connected 200.

[0080] In this way, when the device to be processed is not the device to be connected 200, the target broadcast signal transmitted by the scanned device to be connected 200 is not further parsed, which can avoid increasing unnecessary power consumption and improve the battery life of the terminal device 100.

[0081] Specifically, a device to be processed is one whose target broadcast signal can be parsed by the terminal device 100. A device whose target broadcast signal cannot be parsed by the terminal device 100 is not a device to be processed. The signal transmitted by the scanned device to be processed includes identification information of the device to be processed. The identification information may include the device ID, device model, device name, etc. By parsing the identification information, it can be determined whether the device to be processed is the device to be connected 200.

[0082] In addition, in this embodiment, the target broadcast signal transmitted by the device to be processed is initially parsed to determine whether the device to be processed is the device to be connected 200. If the device to be processed is the device to be connected 200, the target broadcast signal transmitted by the device to be processed is further parsed to determine the presence status information of the device to be processed, that is, the presence status information of the device to be connected 200. If the device to be processed is not the device to be connected 200, the target broadcast signal transmitted by the device to be processed is not further parsed, thereby saving the amount of computation and power of the terminal device 100. It is understood that the target broadcast signal can be set to be packaged and transmitted according to a private protocol, so that whether it is the device to be connected 200 can be determined based on the protocol of the target broadcast signal.

[0083] In some embodiments, the device to be processed may include a device to be connected and a device not to be connected. Both the device to be connected and the device not to be connected are devices whose target broadcast signals can be parsed by the terminal device. The device to be connected can be understood as a device to be processed for which the terminal device expects the device to display information controls (e.g., brand A headphones), and the device not to be connected can be understood as a device to be processed for which the terminal device does not expect the device to display information controls (e.g., a computer, microphone, smart refrigerator, smart air conditioner, smart washing machine, brand B headphones). Step 018 includes: if the device to be processed is not to be connected, not parsing the target broadcast signal transmitted by the scanned non-to-be-connected device. This prevents the erroneous display of information controls for the non-to-be-connected device when the signal strength of the target broadcast signal transmitted by the scanned non-to-be-connected device is greater than or equal to the target signal strength, thereby avoiding disturbing the user using the terminal device. It is understood that if the terminal device immediately displays the information controls for the device to be processed when the signal strength of the target broadcast signal of any device to be processed is greater than or equal to the target signal strength, it may cause confusion to the user and reduce the user experience. Therefore, it is necessary to determine whether the scanned target broadcast signal is the target broadcast signal transmitted by the device to be connected.

[0084] See also Figure 11-13 The prompt method of the embodiment of the present application is used for the device to be connected 200. The prompt method includes:

[0085] 021: Determine the in-box status information of the device to be connected 200, where the in-box status of the device to be connected 200 includes being inside the charging box and being outside the charging box;

[0086] 023: Transmit a target broadcast signal including the in-box status information of the device to be connected 200 to the terminal device 100. The target broadcast signal is used to trigger the terminal device 100 to not display the information control of the device to be connected 200 when the target broadcast signal is scanned and the in-box status of the device to be connected 200 corresponding to the target broadcast signal is outside the charging box.

[0087] The prompt method of the embodiment of the present application can be implemented by the to-be-connected device 200 of the embodiment of the present application. Specifically, the to-be-connected device 200 includes a second processor 20. The second processor 20 is used to determine the in-box status information of the to-be-connected device 200, where the in-box status of the to-be-connected device 200 includes being located inside the charging box and being located outside the charging box, and to transmit a target broadcast signal including the in-box status information of the to-be-connected device 200 to the terminal device 100. The target broadcast signal is used to trigger the terminal device 100 to not display the information control of the to-be-connected device 200 when the target broadcast signal is scanned and the in-box status of the to-be-connected device 200 corresponding to the target broadcast signal is located outside the charging box.

[0088] The prompt method of the embodiment of the present application can be implemented by the prompt device 22 of the embodiment of the present application. Specifically, the prompt device 22 is used for the device to be connected 200. The prompt device 22 includes a determination module 221 and a transmission module 223. The determination module 221 is used to determine the in-box status information of the device to be connected 200, and the in-box status of the device to be connected 200 includes being located inside the charging box and being located outside the charging box. The transmission module 223 is used to transmit a target broadcast signal including the in-box status information of the device to be connected 200 to the terminal device 100. The target broadcast signal is used to trigger the terminal device 100 not to display the information control of the device to be connected 200 when the target broadcast signal is scanned and the in-box status of the device to be connected 200 corresponding to the target broadcast signal is located outside the charging box.

[0089] In the above-mentioned prompt method, the device to be connected 200 and the prompt device 22, the positional relationship between the device to be connected 200 and the charging box is taken into consideration, and it is dynamically determined whether to display the information control of the device to be connected 200, so as to better control the situation of frequent prompts, thereby avoiding the trouble of frequent prompts to the user and improving the user experience.

[0090] Specifically, in some embodiments, the box status information is the relative position of the device to be connected 200 and the charging box. In some embodiments, the charging box includes a body and a top cover, the device to be connected 200 can be accommodated in a cavity of the body, and the top cover is used to cooperate with the body to keep the charging box in an open state or a closed state. When the device to be connected 200 is accommodated in the cavity of the main body and the charging box is in a closed state, it is determined that the device to be connected 200 is located in the charging box, and the device to be connected 200 does not transmit a target broadcast signal; when the device to be connected 200 is accommodated in the cavity of the main body and the charging box is in an open state, it is determined that the device to be connected 200 is located in the charging box, and the device to be connected 200 can transmit a target broadcast signal carrying the in-box status information of the device to be connected 200 to the terminal device 100, and then the terminal device 100 determines whether to display the information control of the device to be connected 200 according to the signal strength of the scanned target broadcast signal; when the device to be connected 200 is taken out of the cavity of the main body, it is determined that the device to be connected 200 is located outside the charging box, and the device to be connected 200 can transmit the target broadcast signal carrying the in-box status information of the device to be connected 200 to the terminal device 100, but after the terminal device 100 scans the target broadcast signal, the information control of the device to be connected 200 is not displayed regardless of the signal strength of the target broadcast signal.

[0091] Furthermore, the device to be connected 200 can determine whether the charging box is in the open state based on the electrical signals generated by devices such as light sensors, infrared sensors or contact switches provided on the device to be connected 200 and / or the charging box. For example, an infrared receiving device and an infrared transmitting device are respectively provided on the body and the top cover of the charging box. When the charging box is in the closed state, the infrared receiving device can receive the infrared rays emitted by the infrared transmitting device, thereby transmitting the relevant signal to the device to be connected 200. The device to be connected 200 determines that the charging box is in the closed state, and the device to be connected 200 does not transmit the target broadcast signal. When the charging box is in the open state, the infrared receiving device cannot receive the infrared rays emitted by the infrared transmitting device, thereby transmitting the relevant signal to the device to be connected 200. The device to be connected 200 determines that the charging box is in the open state, and the device to be connected 200 transmits the target broadcast signal. The device 200 to be connected may also determine whether it is inside the charging case based on an electrical signal generated by a device such as a light sensor, an infrared sensor, or a contact switch. For example, the charging case may be provided with contacts, and the device 200 to be connected may be provided with contacts. When the contacts are in contact and connected, the device 200 to be connected determines that the device 200 to be connected is inside the charging case. When the contacts are disconnected, the device 200 to be connected determines that the device 200 to be connected is outside the charging case. For example, if the device 200 to be connected is a Bluetooth headset and the charging case is an earphone case, a cover-opening detection device such as a Hall effect sensor on the earphone case may detect that the cover has been opened. The cover-opening information may be transmitted to the Bluetooth headset via contacts between the Bluetooth headset and the case, such as a pogo pin, thereby triggering the Bluetooth headset to transmit a BLE broadcast. The Bluetooth headset may determine whether it is inside the charging case by detecting the voltage on the contacts, or may determine whether the headset has been removed from the case by providing a magnetic sensor or light sensor on the headset handle. Other methods of detecting whether the headset is inside or outside the case are also possible.

[0092] In some embodiments, the device to be connected 200 has identification information, which may include part or all of the device ID, device model, and device name. In some embodiments, step 023 further includes: transmitting a target broadcast signal including the identification information and in-box status information of the device to be connected 200 to the terminal device 100. The target broadcast signal is used to trigger the terminal device 100 to parse the scanned target broadcast signal and determine whether the device transmitting the target broadcast signal is the device to be connected 200 based on the identification information in the target broadcast signal. If the device transmitting the target broadcast signal is the device to be connected 200, the terminal device 100 further parses the received target broadcast signal to determine the in-box status information of the device to be connected 200, and determines whether to display an information control for the device to be connected 200 based on the in-box status information of the device to be connected 200. In some embodiments, the information control includes the identification information of the device to be connected 200.

[0093] It should be noted that in step 023, in some embodiments, it can be set that when the device to be connected 200 is in discoverable mode, the device to be connected 200 will transmit a target broadcast signal to the terminal device 100 based on the in-box status information. It can be in the form of BLE broadcast or classic Bluetooth. The triggering condition of the discoverable mode can be the first use after leaving the factory (for example, the first time the cover is opened), or it can be the receipt of a user-triggered instruction to turn on the discoverable mode (for example, pressing a button). In some embodiments, the device to be connected 200 can be connected to two or more terminal devices 100 at the same time.

[0094] In one example, when the device M to be connected is used for the first time, that is, when the device M to be connected is housed in the charging box and the charging box is in the open state for the first time, the device M to be connected is in the discoverable mode, so that the device M to be connected transmits a target broadcast signal carrying the in-box status information of the device M to be connected to the terminal device, and the device M to be connected can be connected by the terminal device. After the device M to be connected establishes a connection with a terminal device D1, the device M to be connected can be set to automatically turn off the discoverable mode, and the device M to be connected can no longer transmit a target broadcast signal carrying the in-box status information of the device M to be connected to other terminal devices. During the period when M is continuously connected to a terminal device D1, when the device to be connected M receives an instruction to turn on the discoverable mode, the device to be connected M turns on and is in the discoverable mode again, and the device to be connected M again transmits a target broadcast signal carrying the in-box status information of the device to be connected M to other terminal devices, and the device to be connected M can be connected by other terminal devices. After the device to be connected M establishes a connection with another terminal device D2, the device to be connected M can automatically turn off the discoverable mode again, and the device to be connected M no longer transmits a target broadcast signal carrying the in-box status information of the device to be connected M to other terminal devices, and the cycle continues.

[0095] In some embodiments, the target broadcast signal includes a Bluetooth broadcast signal, which may include a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) broadcast signal or a classic Bluetooth broadcast signal.

[0098] 033: When the terminal device 100 scans the target broadcast signal and the in-box status of the device to be connected 200 corresponding to the target broadcast signal is outside the charging box, the information control of the device to be connected 200 is not displayed.
