DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0084] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present disclosure. Instead, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present disclosure as detailed in the appended claims. It should also be understood that the term "and / or" as used herein refers to and includes any or all possible combinations of one or more associated listed items.

[0085] At present, electronic devices are placed anywhere when not in use by users, or stolen by others in public places, resulting in the loss of electronic devices. After the electronic device is lost, it can be searched through other electronic devices that establish communication connections, so that the user can determine the location of the electronic device. For example, after the user cannot determine the location of the first electronic device, the user can open the search application in the second electronic device, and the second electronic device will send a search request to the first electronic device connected to Bluetooth. After receiving the search request, the first electronic device will vibrate and play music to prompt the user of its location. The user can find the lost first electronic device based on the music played by the first electronic device and its vibration. However, when the power of the electronic device is exhausted or the electronic device is stolen, the electronic device may be in a shutdown state. When the electronic device is turned off, the user cannot determine the location of the turned-off electronic device through the search application because the communication connection with other electronic devices is disconnected and the prompt information cannot be sent. Since the user cannot find the turned-off electronic device, the user's use of the electronic device is affected, resulting in a poor user experience.

[0086] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present disclosure provides a device search method, in which a first electronic device can broadcast first information representing its location when it is in a powered-off state, so that a nearby second electronic device uploads the received first information to a server for storage. Since the user can find the location of the first electronic device through the server after losing the first electronic device, the user experience is improved. In addition, since the second electronic device that receives the first information does not need to establish a communication connection with the first electronic device, the received first information can still be uploaded to the server for the user to search when the first electronic device is powered off, thereby increasing the possibility of finding the device.

[0087] For ease of understanding, the device search system of the present disclosure is first described. Figure 1As shown, the device search system includes a first electronic device 10, a second electronic device 20 and a server 30. The first electronic device 10 includes a low-power processing unit 11 and a sensor unit 12. The low-power processing unit 11 includes an intelligent sensor hub unit 111, a service unit 112 and a client 113. The sensor unit 12 includes a first Bluetooth module 121, a first Ultra Wide Band (UWB) module 122, a first star flash module 123 and / or a first audio module 124. The sensor unit 12 also includes a first Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) module 125. The intelligent sensor hub unit 111 is used to interact with the first Bluetooth module 121, the first Ultra Wide Band module 122, the first star flash module 123, the first audio module 124 and the first Global Navigation Satellite System module 125 for data. The intelligent sensor hub unit 111 is also used to interact with sensors such as acceleration sensors and angular velocity sensors for data. The business unit 112 can control the operation status of the first Bluetooth module 121, the first ultra-wideband module 122, the first star flash module 123, the first audio module 124 and the first global navigation satellite system module 125 when the first electronic device is turned on and off. The client 113 can communicate with the server 30. Among them, the first global navigation satellite system module 125 is used to determine the location of the first electronic device 10. The fence range and the position detection interval of the first global navigation satellite system module 125 can be set by the low-power processing unit 11. The second electronic device 20 may include a second Bluetooth module, a second ultra-wideband module, a second star flash module and / or a second audio module. The second electronic device 20 may also include a second global navigation satellite system module. The first electronic device 10 can broadcast information through the first Bluetooth module 121, the first ultra-wideband module 122, the first star flash module 123 and / or the first audio module 124, and the second electronic device 20 can receive the information broadcast by the first electronic device 10 through the second Bluetooth module, the second ultra-wideband module, the second star flash module and / or the second audio module. The second electronic device 20 can also determine the relative position with the first electronic device 10 through the second Bluetooth module, the second ultra-wideband module, the second star flash module and / or the second audio module. For example, when the relative position with the first electronic device 10 is determined through the second Bluetooth module, it can be achieved through the channel sounding function in the second Bluetooth module. If the second electronic device 20 can communicate directly with the server 30, the second electronic device 20 uploads the information broadcast by the first electronic device 10 to the server 30.If the second electronic device 20 cannot communicate with the server 30, the second electronic device 20 may upload the information broadcast by the first electronic device 10 to the server 30 through the third electronic device 40. The third electronic device 40 may include a third Bluetooth module, a third ultra-wideband module, a third star flash module and / or a third audio module. The third electronic device 40 may receive the information broadcast by the first electronic device 10 sent by the second electronic device 20 through the third Bluetooth module, the third ultra-wideband module, the third star flash module and / or the third audio module.

[0088] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, when the first electronic device 10 is in the shutdown state, the first electronic device 10 keeps the low power consumption processing unit 11 in the running state, and the business unit 112 of the low power consumption processing unit 11 controls the first Bluetooth module 121, the first ultra-wideband module 122, the first star flash module 123 and / or the first audio module 124 and the first global navigation satellite system module 125 to keep in the running state. The first global navigation satellite system module 125 determines the location of the first electronic device 10 once every certain time interval. The first electronic device 10 broadcasts the first information including its location. The second electronic device 20 uploads the first information and the second information to the server 30 after receiving the first information broadcast by the first electronic device 10 by monitoring. The user can send a search request to the server 30, and the server sends the third information to the user, and the user determines the location of the first electronic device 10 according to the third information. Among them, the number of the second electronic device 20 can be multiple, and the scanning and monitoring are performed in a multi-device fusion manner. The user can send a search request through a preset application or a preset web page.

[0089] The present disclosure provides a device search method, which is applied to a first electronic device, such as Figure 3 As shown, the method includes:

[0090] S100: When the device is in a powered-off state, determine first information, where the first information is used to represent a location of a first electronic device.

[0091] S200: broadcast the first information so that the second electronic device that receives the first information uploads the first information to the server.

[0092] In this embodiment, when the first electronic device is in a powered-off state, the first information used to characterize the location of the first electronic device is determined so that the user can determine the location of the first electronic device. The first information is broadcasted so that a nearby second electronic device receives the broadcasted first information and uploads the first information to the server. Since the first information is stored in the server, the user can find the powered-off first electronic device through the server, thereby improving the user experience. In addition, since the second electronic device does not need to establish a communication connection with the first electronic device, it can upload the received first information to the server for the user to search, thereby increasing the possibility of finding the device.

[0093] Exemplarily, the broadcasting of the first information in step S200 may be performed through a first Bluetooth module, a first ultra-wideband module, a first star flash module and / or a first audio module.

[0094] In one embodiment, if Figure 4 As shown, the first information determined in step S100 is determined in the following manner:

[0095] S110: Determine first location information of a first electronic device.

[0096] S120: Determine account information of the first electronic device.

[0097] S130: Determine the first location information and the account information as the first information.

[0098] In this embodiment, since the user needs to determine the location of the first electronic device, the first electronic device can be found and the first location information of the first electronic device can be determined. Since the account information can characterize the ownership of the first electronic device and it is convenient for the user to determine the account information of the first electronic device, the account information of the first electronic device is determined and the first location information and the account information are determined as the first information. By determining the first location information and the account information as the first information, the user can query the location of the first electronic device through the account information, thereby reducing the complexity of device search.

[0099] Exemplarily, the determining of the first location information of the first electronic device in step S110 may be performed by a first global navigation satellite system module.

[0100] In one embodiment, the first location information of the first electronic device is determined in step S110 by:

[0101] When the first electronic device is in a moving state, the first location information is determined at every first preset time interval.

[0102] When the first electronic device is in a stationary state, the first location information is determined at every second preset time interval.

[0103] The first preset time is shorter than the second preset time.

[0104] In this embodiment, when determining the first location information of the first electronic device, the detection interval of the first location information can be determined according to whether the first electronic device is in a mobile state. When the first electronic device is in a mobile state, the first location information changes quickly, and it is necessary to determine the first location information at a shorter first preset time interval to accurately locate the first electronic device. When the first electronic device is in a stationary state, the first location information changes slowly, and it is necessary to determine the first location information at a longer second preset time interval to reduce the power consumption of the first electronic device. By determining the first location information at different intervals according to whether the first electronic device is in a mobile state, the accuracy of the positioning of the first electronic device is improved and the power consumption of the first electronic device is reduced.

[0105] Exemplarily, whether the first electronic device in the above steps is in a moving state can be detected and determined by sensors such as an acceleration sensor and an angular velocity sensor in the first electronic device.

[0106] For example, the first preset time may be in the range of 1s to 10min. The first preset time may be in the range of 30s, 60s, 120s, etc. The second preset time may be in the range of 1s to 10min. The second preset time may be in the range of 60s, 240s, 600s, etc.

[0107] In one embodiment, determining the first information in step S100 further includes:

[0108] Time information corresponding to the first location information is determined.

[0109] The first location information and the account information are determined as the first information in step S130 in the following manner:

[0110] The first location information, time information and account information are determined as the first information.

[0111] In this embodiment, since the location of the first electronic device may be different at different times, the time information corresponding to the first location information can help the user locate the movement path of the first electronic device over time and determine the latest location of the first electronic device. The time information corresponding to the first location information is determined, and the first location information, time information and account information are determined as the first information. The user can find the first electronic device according to the first location information and time information to improve the accuracy of device search.

[0112] It is understandable that when the first information does not include time information, the user can determine the latest location of the first electronic device according to the upload order of the first information in the server.

[0113] In one embodiment, determining the first information in step S100 further includes:

[0114] The movement information of the first electronic device is determined, where the movement information is used to indicate whether the first electronic device is in a moving state or a stationary state.

[0115] In the above step, the first location information, time information and account information are determined as the first information in the following manner:

[0116] The first location information, time information, movement information and account information are determined as the first information.

[0117] In this embodiment, the mobile information of the first electronic device can indicate whether the first electronic device is in a mobile state, and the user can determine whether the first electronic device is stolen or placed according to the mobile information to determine the method of finding the first electronic device. The mobile information of the first electronic device is determined, and the first location information, time information, mobile information and account information are determined as the first information. The user can find the first electronic device according to the first location information, time information and mobile information to improve the accuracy of device search.

[0118] In one embodiment, broadcasting the first information in step S200 is determined by:

[0119] The first information and the shutdown state information of the first electronic device are broadcasted.

[0120] In this embodiment, by broadcasting the first information and the shutdown status information, the second electronic device can determine that the first electronic device is shut down according to the shutdown status information to upload the first information, thereby reducing the complexity of device search.

[0121] It is understandable that the first electronic device may not broadcast the shutdown status information.

[0122] In one embodiment, after determining the first location information of the first electronic device in step S110, the device search method further includes:

[0123] Determine whether the first location information exceeds a preset fence range.

[0124] When the first location information exceeds the preset fence range, an alarm message is issued.

[0125] In this embodiment, it is determined whether the first location information exceeds the preset fence range to determine whether the first electronic device has been moved over a long distance due to theft. If the first location information exceeds the preset fence range, the first electronic device is likely to be stolen, and an alarm message is issued to facilitate the user to find the first electronic device.

[0126] For example, the preset fence range may be in the range of 100 m to 5 km, 500 m, 1 km, 2 km, and the like.

[0127] The present disclosure provides a device search method, which is applied to a first electronic device, such as Figure 5 As shown, the method includes:

[0128] S300: When the first electronic device is in a powered-off state, determine first location information of the first electronic device.

[0129] S310: Determine time information corresponding to the first location information.

[0130] S320: Determine movement information of the first electronic device.

[0131] S330: Determine the account information of the first electronic device.

[0132] S340: Determine the first location information, time information, movement information and account information as the first information.

[0133] S350: broadcast the first information and the shutdown status information of the first electronic device.

[0134] In this embodiment, when the device is in a shutdown state, the first location information of the first electronic device, the time information corresponding to the first location information, the mobile information, and the account information are determined, and the first location information, time information, mobile information, and account information are determined as the first information. The first information and the shutdown state information of the first electronic device are broadcast so that the second electronic device that receives the first information uploads the first information to the server. Since the server stores the first information, the user can quickly determine the location of the first electronic device through the first location information, time information, and mobile information to improve the user's experience. In addition, since the second electronic device does not need to establish a communication connection with the first electronic device, it can upload the received first information to the server for the user to search, thereby increasing the possibility of the device being found.

[0135] The present disclosure provides a device search method, which is applied to a second electronic device, such as Figure 6 As shown, the method includes:

[0136] S400: When the received information broadcast by the first electronic device includes the first information, determine second information, where the second information is used to represent a relative position between the second electronic device and the first electronic device.

[0137] S500: Upload the first information and the second information to the server.

[0138] In this embodiment, since the information broadcast by the first electronic device may include the first information or may not include the first information, the second information is determined when the information broadcast by the first electronic device received includes the first information. Since the second information is used to characterize the relative position of the second electronic device and the first electronic device, the user can quickly determine the position of the first electronic device by combining the first information and the second information. The first information and the second information are uploaded to the server, which facilitates the user to determine the first information and the second information through the server and find the first electronic device. Since the first information and the second information are stored in the server, the position of the first electronic device is determined by the first information and the second information, which improves the accuracy of the first electronic device. At the same time, since the second electronic device determines the second information when the information broadcast by the first electronic device received includes the first information, it avoids uploading information irrelevant to the location of the first electronic device to the server, thereby reducing the power consumption of the second electronic device. In addition, since the second electronic device does not need to establish a communication connection with the first electronic device, each second electronic device can upload the first information and the second information, thereby increasing the possibility of the device finding.

[0139] Exemplarily, the second information determined in step S400 may be determined by a second Bluetooth module, a second ultra-wideband module, a second star flash module and / or a second audio module.

[0140] For example, for uploading the first information and the second information to the server in step S500, if the second electronic device can communicate directly with the server, the first information and the second information can be directly uploaded to the server. If the second electronic device cannot communicate with the server, the first information and the second information can be uploaded to the server via a third electronic device.

[0141] In one embodiment, if Figure 7 As shown, the second information in step S400 is determined in the following manner:

[0142] S410: Determine second position information of the second electronic device relative to the first electronic device.

[0143] S420: Determine the second location information as the second information.

[0144] In this embodiment, the second position information of the second electronic device relative to the first electronic device is determined, and the second position information is determined as the second information to assist in determining the position of the first electronic device. By determining the second position information of the second electronic device relative to the first electronic device to assist in determining the position of the first electronic device, the user can determine the position of the first electronic device based on the first position information and the second position information, thereby improving the accuracy of device search.

[0145] In one embodiment, if Figure 8 As shown, the device search method also includes:

[0146] S600: Receive information broadcast by a first electronic device.

[0147] S610: Determine whether the first electronic device is in a powered-off state according to information broadcast by the first electronic device.

[0148] S620: When it is determined that the first electronic device is in a powered-off state and the information broadcast by the first electronic device includes the first location information and the account information, determine that the received information broadcast by the first electronic device includes the first information.

[0149] In this embodiment, since the first electronic device broadcasts the first information when it is in a shutdown state, the second electronic device uploads the first information to search for the first electronic device and determine whether the first electronic device is in a shutdown state. When it is determined that the first electronic device is in a shutdown state and the information broadcast by the first electronic device includes the first location information and the account information, the first location information and the account information are the first information broadcast in the shutdown state, and it is determined that the information broadcast by the received first electronic device includes the first information. By uploading the first information and the second information to the server when it is determined that the first electronic device is in a shutdown state, the first location information and the account information broadcast in the power-on state are avoided from being uploaded to reduce the power consumption of the second electronic device.

[0150] Exemplarily, determining whether the first electronic device is in a powered-off state according to the information broadcast by the first electronic device in step S610 may be determining whether the information broadcast by the first electronic device includes power-off state information. When the information broadcast by the first electronic device includes power-off state information, it is determined that the first electronic device is in a powered-off state.

[0151] It is understandable that after receiving the information broadcast by the first electronic device, it is also possible to determine whether the first electronic device is in a powered-off state. When it is determined that the information broadcast by the first electronic device includes the first location information and the account information, it is determined that the information broadcast by the received first electronic device includes the first information.

[0152] The present disclosure provides a device search method, which is applied to a second electronic device, such as Fig. 9 As shown, the method includes:

[0153] S700: Receive information broadcast by a first electronic device.

[0154] S710: Determine whether the first electronic device is in a powered-off state according to information broadcast by the first electronic device.

[0155] S720: When it is determined that the first electronic device is in a powered-off state and the information broadcast by the first electronic device includes the first location information and the account information, determine that the received information broadcast by the first electronic device includes the first information.

[0156] S730: Determine second location information of the second electronic device relative to the first electronic device.

[0157] S740: Determine the second location information as the second information.

[0158] S750: Upload the first information and the second information to the server.

[0159] In this embodiment, the information broadcast by the first electronic device is received, and according to the information broadcast by the first electronic device, it is determined whether the first electronic device is in a shutdown state to avoid uploading the information sent in the power-on state. In the case where it is determined that the first electronic device is in a shutdown state and the information broadcast by the first electronic device includes the first location information and the account information, the first location information and the account information are the information broadcast in the shutdown state, and it is determined that the information broadcast by the first electronic device received includes the first information. The second location information of the second electronic device relative to the first electronic device is determined, and the second location information is determined as the second information, and the second information is used to assist the first information in finding the first electronic device. The first information and the second information are uploaded to the server, and the user can find the first electronic device through the first information and the second information in the server, thereby improving the accuracy of the first electronic device search. At the same time, since the second electronic device determines the second information when the information broadcast by the first electronic device received includes the first information, it avoids uploading information irrelevant to the location of the first electronic device to the server, thereby reducing the power consumption of the second electronic device. In addition, since the second electronic device does not need to establish a communication connection with the first electronic device, the first information and the second information can be uploaded through multiple second electronic devices, thereby improving the possibility of the device being found.

[0160] The present disclosure provides a device search method, which is applied to a server, such as Fig.10 As shown, the method includes:

[0161] S800: Receive and store first information and second information uploaded by a second electronic device, where the first information is used to represent the position of the first electronic device, and the second information is used to represent the relative position of the second electronic device with respect to the first electronic device.

[0162] S900: Determine third information based on the first information and the second information.

[0163] S1000: In response to a search request from a user for a first electronic device, third information is sent to the user.

[0164] In this embodiment, the first information and the second information uploaded by the second electronic device are received and stored, and the server stores the first position information of the first electronic device and the second position information of the second electronic device relative to the first electronic device, so that the user can find the first electronic device. Based on the first information and the second information, the third information is determined to filter the information in the first information and the second information that does not need to be sent to the user. In response to the user's search request for the first electronic device, the third information is sent to the user, and the user can obtain the third information. Since the user only needs to issue a search request to obtain the third information to determine the location of the first electronic device, the complexity of device search is reduced.

[0165] For example, for receiving and storing the first information and the second information uploaded by the second electronic device in step S800, if the second electronic device can communicate directly with the server, the first information and the second information uploaded by the second electronic device can be directly received and stored. If the second electronic device cannot communicate with the server, the first information and the second information uploaded by the second electronic device through the third electronic device can be received and stored.

[0166] In one embodiment, if Fig.11 As shown, in step S900, based on the first information and the second information, the third information is determined in the following manner:

[0167] S910: Determine first location information and time information in the first information.

[0168] S920: Determine second location information in the second information.

[0169] S930. Determine the first location information, the second location information, and the time information as third information.

[0170] In this embodiment, since the user enters the account information of the first electronic device when searching for the first electronic device through the server, the server needs to filter the account information when returning the third information to avoid sending duplicate information. The first location information and time information in the first information and the second location information in the second information are determined, and the first location information, the second location information and the time information are determined as the third information to combine the first information and the second information and filter the account information. By filtering the account information from the third information, only the first location information, the second location information and the time information required by the user are sent to the user, thereby improving the speed of device search.

[0171] In one embodiment, the first location information and time information in the first information determined in step S910 are determined in the following manner:

[0172] First location information, time information, and movement information in the first information are determined.

[0173] The first location information, the second location information, and the time information are determined as the third information in step S930 in the following manner:

[0174] The first location information, the second location information, the movement information, and the time information are determined as the third information.

[0175] In this embodiment, by adding the movement information to the third information and sending it to the user, the user can determine the location of the first electronic device according to the first location information, the second location information, the movement information and the time information, thereby improving the accuracy of device search.

[0176] In one embodiment, if Fig.12 As shown, sending the third information to the user in step S1000 is determined in the following manner:

[0177] S1010. Obtain account information in the search request.

[0178] S1020. Determine third information corresponding to the account information based on the account information and preset configuration information, where the preset configuration information is used to characterize the correspondence between the account information and the third information.

[0179] S1030. Send the determined third information to the user.

[0180] In this embodiment, since the server stores the third information of multiple first electronic devices, and the account information of each first electronic device is different, the account information in the search request is obtained to determine the required third information. Based on the account information and the preset configuration information, the third information corresponding to the account information is determined, and the determined third information is sent to the user. By determining the corresponding third information according to the account information, it is avoided that the wrong third information is sent to the user to affect the user's search for the first electronic device, thereby improving the reliability and speed of device search.

[0181] Exemplarily, the preset configuration information may be that after the server determines the third information based on the first information and the second information, the server stores the third information in correspondence with the account information in the first information as the preset configuration information, wherein each account information may correspond to one or more third information.

[0182] In one embodiment, the search request is sent via a preset application or a preset web page. The sending of the determined third information to the user in step S1030 is determined in the following manner:

[0183] The determined third information is sent to a preset application or a preset webpage.

[0184] In this embodiment, after the user loses the first electronic device, he sends a search request through the preset application or preset webpage of other electronic devices, and the server sends the determined third information as response information to the preset application or preset webpage so that the user can obtain the third information. Since conventional electronic devices can all open preset applications or preset webpages, it is convenient for users to determine the third information to find the first electronic device, thereby improving the versatility of device search.

[0185] The present disclosure provides a device search method, which is applied to a server, such as Fig.13 As shown, the method includes:

[0186] S1100: Receive and store first information and second information uploaded by a second electronic device.

[0187] S1110. Determine first location information, time information, and movement information in the first information.

[0188] S1120. Determine second location information in the second information.

[0189] S1130. Determine the first location information, the second location information, the movement information, and the time information as the third information.

[0190] S1140. In response to a search request from a user for a first electronic device, obtain account information in the search request.

[0191] S1150: Determine third information corresponding to the account information based on the account information and preset configuration information.

[0192] S1160: Send the determined third information to a preset application or a preset webpage.

[0193] In this embodiment, the first information and the second information uploaded by the second electronic device are received and stored, and the first location information, time information and movement information in the first information and the second location information in the second information are determined as the third information to filter the account information. In response to the user's search request for the first electronic device, the account information in the search request is obtained, and the corresponding third information is determined based on the account information. The determined third information is sent to a preset application or a preset web page, so that the user can obtain the third information through the preset application or the preset web page. Since the user only needs to issue a search request to obtain the third information to determine the location of the first electronic device, the complexity of device search is reduced.

[0194] The present disclosure provides a device search method, such as Fig.14 As shown, the method includes:

[0195] S1200: When the first electronic device is in a powered-off state, the first electronic device determines first location information, account information, and time information corresponding to the first location information.

[0199] S1240: The second electronic device determines whether the first electronic device is in a powered-off state according to the information broadcast by the first electronic device.

[0200] S1250: When it is determined that the first electronic device is in a powered-off state and the information broadcast by the first electronic device includes the first location information and the account information, the second electronic device determines that the received information broadcast by the first electronic device includes the first information.

[0201] S1260: The second electronic device determines second location information relative to the first electronic device.

[0202] S1270: The second electronic device determines the second location information as the second information.

[0207] S1320: In response to the user's search request for the first electronic device, the server sends the determined third information to a preset application or a preset webpage.

[0208] In this embodiment, when the first electronic device is in a shutdown state, the first location information, account information and time information corresponding to the first location information are determined as the first information, and the first information is broadcasted so that the user can find the first electronic device that is turned off. The second electronic device receives the information broadcasted by the first electronic device and determines whether the information broadcasted by the first electronic device includes the first information. In the case where the information broadcasted by the first electronic device includes the first information, the second location information relative to the first electronic device is determined as the second information, and the first information and the second information are uploaded to the server. The server determines the first location information and time information in the first information and the second location information in the second information as the third information, and in response to the user's search request, sends the third information to a preset application or a preset webpage for the user to obtain. Since the first information is stored in the server, the user can find the first electronic device that is turned off through the server, thereby improving the user's experience. In addition, since the second electronic device does not need to establish a communication connection with the first electronic device, it can upload the received first information to the server for the user to search, thereby improving the possibility of the device being found.
