Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of electronic equipment, and in particular, relates to a method and apparatus for controlling a device mode. Background Art

[0002] With the development of intelligent technology of electronic devices and the improvement of user experience, the number of electronic devices in the hands of consumers is increasing. For example, a user can have a mobile phone, tablet, headphones, laptop, smart watch, smart screen, smart speaker, etc. to assist in all aspects of his life and work. However, when a user enables or disables a certain device mode (such as do not disturb mode, dark mode, etc.) on one of the electronic devices, there is currently no method to intelligently control the device mode of the user's other electronic devices. Summary of the invention

[0003] In view of this, the embodiments of the present application provide a convenient and intelligent device mode control method, electronic device and apparatus, which can control the device modes of other electronic devices on one electronic device, while giving users enough flexibility to flexibly configure according to different needs and different scenarios.

[0004] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a device mode control method, which is applied to a first electronic device that supports a first device mode, the method comprising: the first electronic device displays identification information corresponding to a second electronic device in a first device list; wherein the first device list is used to display identification information of electronic devices that have a trust relationship with the first electronic device and support the first device mode (such as "Mike's tablet", "Mike's smart screen", "Mike's laptop" mentioned below); the first electronic device displays a first control (such as control 203-1) that has a corresponding relationship with the second electronic device; in response to an operation acting on the first control, the first electronic device sends a first signaling to the second electronic device; wherein the first signaling is used to trigger the second electronic device to follow the state of the first device mode of the first electronic device and adjust the state of the first device mode of the second electronic device.

[0005] In some implementations, the method further includes: the first electronic device displays a second control (such as controls 203-2a, 203-2b, 203-2c, 203-2d) for controlling a second device mode of the second electronic device; in response to an operation on the second control, the first electronic device sends a second signaling to the second electronic device; wherein the second signaling is used to trigger the second electronic device to adjust the state of the second device mode.

[0006] In some implementations, when the second electronic device follows the state of the first device mode of the first electronic device and adjusts the state of the first device mode of the second electronic device, the first electronic device no longer displays a control for controlling the second control.

[0007] In some implementations, the first control corresponds to a first switch indicator. When the first switch indicator is in an on state, the second electronic device follows the state of the first device mode of the first electronic device and adjusts the state of the first device mode of the second electronic device; when the first switch indicator indicates that it is in an off state, the state of the first device mode of the second electronic device is independent of the state of the first device mode of the first electronic device.

[0008] In some implementations, when the second electronic device follows the state of the first device mode of the first electronic device and adjusts the state of the first device mode of the second electronic device, the above method also includes: receiving a third signaling sent by the second electronic device; in response to the third signaling, the first switch indicator changes from an on state to an off state.

[0009] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a device mode control method, which is applied to a second electronic device that supports a first device mode and has a trust relationship with a first electronic device, and the first electronic device also supports the first device mode. The method includes: the second electronic device receives a first signaling sent by the first electronic device; in response to the first signaling, the second electronic device adjusts the state of the first device mode to follow the state of the first device mode of the first electronic device.

[0010] In some implementations, the second electronic device also supports a second device mode, and the method further includes: the second electronic device receives a second signaling sent by the first electronic device; and in response to the second signaling, the second electronic device adjusts a state of the second device mode.

[0011] In some implementations, when the second electronic device follows the state of the first device mode of the first electronic device and adjusts the state of the first device mode of the second electronic device, the above method also includes: in response to an operation acting on the second electronic device for adjusting the first device mode of the second electronic device, the second electronic device sends a third instruction to the first electronic device; the third instruction is used to instruct the second electronic device to no longer follow the state of the first device mode of the first electronic device and adjust the state of the first device mode of the second electronic device.

[0012] In a third aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides an electronic device, which includes a processor and a memory, wherein the memory stores computer instructions. When the computer instructions are executed in the processor, the electronic device executes a method as described in the first aspect or the second aspect or any one of the implementation methods thereof.

[0013] In a fourth aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a computer-readable storage medium, which stores computer instructions. When the computer instructions are executed, a device equipped with the computer-readable storage medium executes a method as described in the first aspect or the second aspect or any one of the implementation methods thereof.

[0021] In the following description, specific details such as specific system structures, technologies, etc. are provided for the purpose of illustration rather than limitation, so as to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the present application. However, it should be clear to those skilled in the art that the present application may also be implemented in other embodiments without these specific details. In other cases, detailed descriptions of well-known systems, devices, circuits, and methods are omitted to prevent unnecessary details from obstructing the description of the present application.

[0022] In order to facilitate the reader to understand the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, the meanings of the specific terms involved in the embodiments of the present application are briefly introduced first, but it should be understood that this brief introduction is only to facilitate the reader to understand the specific terms in a popular way by way of example, and is not intended to limit their meanings or scopes. The protection scope of the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present application shall be based on the claims.

[0023] The "device mode" described in the embodiments of the present application may refer to any mode that enables the electronic device to be in a specific setting state. Generally, when a certain device mode is enabled or disabled (or turned off), the configuration parameters of the electronic device are different.

[0024] Take the "Do Not Disturb Mode" as an example: when the Do Not Disturb Mode is enabled, the configuration items of the electronic device such as whether to ring, whether to vibrate, whether to prompt a notification message, etc. are usually configured as "No". At this time, if the electronic device receives an incoming call, text message, or notification message, it will not ring, vibrate, or prompt the user that a new notification message has been received; when the Do Not Disturb Mode is not enabled, the above configuration items of the electronic device are usually configured as "Yes". At this time, if the electronic device receives an incoming call, text message, or notification message, it will ring, vibrate, and prompt the user that a new notification message has been received. It should be understood that the "Do Not Disturb Mode" described in the embodiments of the present application may also be called "Focus Mode" or have other names when implemented in a specific product.

[0025] Take the "dark mode" as an example: when the dark mode is enabled, the display interface elements of the electronic device are configured to be mainly dark colors (such as black), and the contrast between the font color and the background color is usually low, so that it is convenient for users to use in a dimly lit environment and improve visual comfort; when the dark mode is not enabled, the display interface elements of the electronic device are configured to be mainly bright colors (such as white), and the contrast between the font color and the background color is usually high, so that it is convenient for users to use in a brightly lit environment, so that users can see the content of the electronic device display interface clearly. It should be understood that the "dark mode" described in the embodiments of the present application may also be called "dark mode", "night mode" or have other names when implemented in a specific product.

[0026] It can be understood that in some implementations, the electronic device is configured with certain device mode configuration parameters and switch options by default, and the user can enable or disable the configuration mode on the electronic device by operating the switch option. For the device mode configured by default for such electronic devices, the electronic device often does not allow the user to delete it, but the user can change one or some configuration parameters of such device mode. For example, the do not disturb mode is often fixed in the "settings" of the electronic device as a default configured device mode. The user cannot delete the device mode from the settings, but the user can configure the parameters of the do not disturb mode, such as whether the electronic device vibrates when the do not disturb mode is turned on, or further, if it vibrates, in what way; it can also be customized to not ring or vibrate when the do not disturb mode is turned on, but prompt the user that a new notification message has been received.

[0027] In some other implementations, the electronic device allows the user to add a customized device mode and customize the configuration parameters of the customized device mode. For such customized device modes added by the user, the electronic device often allows the user to delete and change one or some configuration parameters of such device modes. For example, the user can add a device mode called "reading mode" and configure that when the reading mode is enabled, the screen of the electronic device displays the interface content in warm colors (which will appear yellowish to the naked eye), thereby achieving the effect of eye protection.

[0028] It is understood that in addition to providing operation options for enabling, disabling, adding, deleting or configuring a certain device mode in "Settings", the electronic device can also provide the above operation options in the "Control Center". The user can usually open the Control Center by performing a sliding operation starting from the edge of the electronic device display screen (such as the top edge, bottom edge, left edge, right edge) in any display interface of the electronic device.

[0029] In addition, the electronic device can also enable, disable, add, delete or configure a certain device mode by receiving a user's voice control command. For example, the electronic device can enable the do not disturb mode in response to receiving the user's voice control command "Xiaoyi Xiaoyi, turn on the do not disturb mode".

[0030] As described in the background art, when a user enables or disables a certain device mode (such as a do not disturb mode, a dark mode, etc.) on one of the electronic devices, there is currently no method that can intelligently control the device modes of the user's other electronic devices.

[0031] In a technical solution, the electronic device can provide, for example, Figure 1 Setting option 101 shown in "Share between devices". When setting option 101 of "Share between devices" of an electronic device is turned on: if the device mode on the electronic device is switched from off to on, the device mode on other electronic devices (usually belonging to the same user) that have logged into the same account as the electronic device will also be switched from off to on at the same time; similarly, if the device mode on the electronic device is switched from on to off, the device mode on other electronic devices that have logged into the same account as the electronic device will also be switched from on to off at the same time. However, the technical solution has a single control method and poor flexibility, and cannot solve many scenario-based needs of users.

[0032] In view of this, the embodiment of the present application provides a device mode control method, which can intelligently control the device modes of other electronic devices of the user, and can meet the various scenario-based needs of the user. Next, the technical solution provided by the present application is introduced in conjunction with specific drawings and embodiments.

[0033] Figure 2 The schematic diagram of the device mode control interface provided by an embodiment of the present application is exemplarily shown. It can be understood that Figure 2 Although the "do not disturb mode" is used as an example, this does not constitute a limitation on the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application. The technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application can be used to control any device mode. Figure 2 The interface shown may be an interface of a user's electronic device (such as a mobile phone, PAD, or other mobile terminal device). Figure 2 The electronic device with the interface shown is referred to as "electronic device A".

[0034] like Figure 2 As shown in (a), the interface 21 may include one or more controls (eg, controls 201 - 1 to 201 - 8 ).

[0035] For example, the interface 21 may include a control 201-1. The control 201-1 may be used to trigger turning on or off the do not disturb mode, and a switch indicator may be displayed on the control 201-1 to indicate whether the do not disturb mode is in the on state or the off state.

[0036] In the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application, in some cases, the control 201-1 can be used not only to control the opening and closing of the do not disturb mode of the electronic device A, but also to control the opening and closing of the do not disturb mode of other electronic devices other than the electronic device A. For example, in response to the operation of the user clicking the control 201-1, not only the electronic device A turns on the do not disturb mode, but also other electronic devices other than the electronic device A turn on the do not disturb mode.

[0037] For ease of description, in the embodiment of the present application, other electronic devices other than electronic device A may be collectively referred to as electronic device B. It is understood that "electronic device B" may refer to one electronic device B or multiple electronic devices B. For example, three electronic devices, such as electronic device B1, electronic device B2, and electronic device B3, may be collectively referred to as electronic device B.

[0038] In some embodiments, electronic device B may be an electronic device having a trust relationship with electronic device A.

[0039] Electronic devices that have a trust relationship with each other can be electronic devices logged in with the same account. The account can be an account registered by the user using an email address and / or mobile phone number based on the account platform provided by the device manufacturer of electronic device A and electronic device B. Electronic devices logged in with the same account are usually owned by the same user. For example, a user can own multiple electronic devices at the same time, such as a mobile phone (such as "P70"), a smart watch (such as "Watch GT4"), a tablet computer (such as "MatapadPro"), a laptop computer (such as "Matebook X"), a smart screen (such as "V5 Pro"), etc.

[0040] Electronic devices that have a trust relationship with each other can also be electronic devices that belong to the same family group. For example, user A has mobile phone 1 (such as "P70") and laptop computer 1 (such as "Matebook X Pro"), and mobile phone 1 and laptop computer 1 are logged in with user A's account A. User A's spouse user B has mobile phone 2 (such as "Mate 60") and laptop computer 2 (such as "Matebook E"), and mobile phone 2 and laptop computer 2 are logged in with user B's account B. The above-mentioned account A and account B join the same family group, so the above-mentioned mobile phone 1, laptop computer 1, mobile phone 2, and laptop computer 2 are electronic devices that join the same family group.

[0041] The electronic devices having a trust relationship with each other may also be electronic devices connected to the same local area network, for example, electronic devices connected to the same wireless local area network (such as Wi-Fi access provided by a router).

[0042] Electronic devices that have a trust relationship with each other can also be multiple electronic devices that form a super terminal. For example, the interface of a mobile phone is projected onto a smart screen for display, and the audio of the mobile phone is projected onto a smart speaker for playback. At this time, it can be considered that the mobile phone, smart screen, and smart speaker form a super terminal, and at this time, the mobile phone, smart screen, and smart speaker have a trust relationship with each other. For another example, a mobile phone projects the content displayed on the mobile phone screen onto a laptop computer through multi-screen collaboration. At this time, it can be considered that the mobile phone and the laptop computer form a super terminal.

[0043] The above lists several examples of trust relationships between electronic devices. It is understandable that the trust relationship between electronic devices can also be in other forms, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited to this. In actual application, the above-listed multiple conditions for trust relationships can be combined and freely matched. For example, multiple electronic devices can be configured to log in with a unified account and access the same local area network to have a trust relationship.

[0044] Electronic devices with a trust relationship can form a device group. Figure 3 An exemplary device group is shown, which includes device A, device B1, device B2, and device B3. In the embodiment of the present application, devices belonging to the same device group can control each other's device mode. For example, a user can control the switching of device modes of device B1, device B2, and device B3 by operating device A, and a user can also control the switching of device modes of device A, device B2, and device B3 by operating device B1.

[0045] The device mode control method provided in the embodiment of the present application can only allow electronic devices with a trust relationship to control each other's device mode, and not allow electronic devices without a trust relationship to control each other's device mode. This ensures the safety and reliability of the user's electronic device and prevents it from being controlled by devices without a trust relationship.

[0046] Of course, it is understandable that in some embodiments, the trust relationship may change over time or be automatically adjusted based on the scenario.

[0047] For example, device A in a device group can temporarily allow device C to join the device group, so that device C and other devices in the device group can temporarily control each other's device mode. Exemplarily, device A can allow device C to join the device group in the next 10 minutes. In the next 10 minutes, device C can control the device mode of other devices in the device group, and other devices in the device group can also control the device mode of device C. After 10 minutes, device C no longer belongs to the device group and cannot control the device mode of other devices in the device group, and other devices in the device group cannot control the device mode of device C. Thus, the flexibility of device mode control across devices is improved.

[0048] For another example, if device A is currently located at the user's workplace, the user turns on the Do Not Disturb mode for device A to avoid the ringing sound affecting others. In this scenario, device A does not allow other devices to control its device mode, so as to prevent the Do Not Disturb mode from being turned off by mistake, which violates the user's intention. If device A is currently located at or near the user's home, device A can allow other devices to control its device mode, thereby achieving convenient cross-device device mode control.

[0049] In some embodiments, in some scenarios, such as when device A is currently located at the user's workplace, device A may also be configured to allow other devices to control it to turn on the DND mode, but not to allow other devices to control it to turn off the DND mode. In other words, cross-device control of device modes may also be one-way.

[0050] The interface 21 may also include a control 201-2. In response to the user clicking the control 201-2, the electronic device A may display the following Figure 2 Interface 22 is shown in (b).

[0051] Interface 22 may display one or more controls for operating (or manipulating or controlling) electronic devices that have a trust relationship with electronic device A. For example, control 202-1 for controlling "Mike's tablet", control 202-2 for controlling "Mike's smart screen", and control 202-3 for controlling "Mike's laptop". The above-mentioned "Mike's tablet", "Mike's smart screen", and "Mike's laptop" are logged in with the same account (such as Mike's account) as electronic device A, and are all devices owned by Mike.

[0052] In some embodiments, controls 202-1, 202-2, and 202-3 may also display icons for indicating the current device mode of the corresponding device. Figure 2 As shown in (b), the control 202-1 displays an icon indicating that "Mike's tablet" is currently in the do not disturb mode, the control 202-2 displays an icon indicating that "Mike's smart screen" is currently in the ringing mode, and the control 202-3 displays an icon indicating that "Mike's laptop" is currently in the sleep mode. Thus, the user can directly know the current mode of the electronic device B that has a trust relationship with the electronic device A through the interface 22.

[0053] In some embodiments, in response to the user clicking the control 202-1, electronic device A may display the following Figure 2 Interface 23 shown in (c) of FIG. Interface 23 may be an interface for controlling the device mode of “Mike's tablet” through electronic device A.

[0054] It is understandable that electronic device A may also control the device mode of electronic device B in other ways (or in other locations).

[0055] For example, the user can conveniently open the control center of electronic device A by sliding downward on the touch screen of electronic device A, and control the device mode of electronic device B through the control center. Exemplarily, in addition to the controls for controlling the device mode of electronic device A, the control center can also display controls for controlling the device mode of electronic device B.

[0056] In one implementation, a control for controlling the device mode of electronic device B can directly trigger the opening or closing of a specific device mode (here, the Do Not Disturb mode is taken as an example) of electronic device B. Specifically, the user clicks the control once to directly trigger the opening of the Do Not Disturb mode of electronic device B; the user clicks the control again to directly trigger the closing of the Do Not Disturb mode of electronic device B.

[0057] In another implementation, the user clicks on a control for controlling the device mode of electronic device B, which may trigger electronic device A to further display an interface or menu, where the interface or menu may display one or more controls for controlling the device mode of electronic device B. For example, the interface or menu may be Figure 2 Interface 23 shown in (c).

[0058] In another implementation, if the user clicks on a control for controlling the device mode of electronic device B, it can directly trigger the opening or closing of a certain device mode of electronic device B; if the user long presses on the control for controlling the device mode of electronic device B, it can trigger electronic device A to further display the interface or menu described in the previous paragraph, such as interface 23. In this implementation, exemplarily, if the control 203-2a is selected at area 203-2 in interface 23, then the user clicks on the control for controlling the device mode of electronic device B, which can directly trigger the opening or closing of the do not disturb mode of electronic device B; if the control 203-2b is selected at area 203-2 in interface 23, then the user clicks on the control for controlling the device mode of electronic device B, which can directly trigger the opening or closing of the personal mode of electronic device B; and so on. That is, the specific device mode selected in area 203-2 in interface 23 has a corresponding relationship with the function implemented by the user clicking on the control for controlling the device mode of electronic device B.

[0059] It is understood that the embodiment of the present application does not limit where the control for controlling the device mode of the electronic device B is specifically displayed. In addition to being displayed in the control center and the settings application, the control (or shortcut) for controlling the device mode of the electronic device B may also be displayed on the desktop, the negative one screen, the lock screen interface, and the like.

[0060] Of course, the controls for controlling the device mode of electronic device B can also be displayed on other electronic devices that have established a field communication connection with electronic device A, such as on a wearable device (such as a smart watch) that has established a Bluetooth connection with electronic device A, so that users can more conveniently control the device mode across devices.

[0061] by Figure 2Taking the interface 23 shown in (c) as an example, the interface 23 may display a control 203-1, which may be used to control whether the device mode of electronic device B ("Mike's tablet" in the figure is used to change with the device mode of electronic device A. The control 203-1 may also display a switch indicator for indicating whether the function of changing the device mode of electronic device B following the change of the device mode of electronic device A is turned on or off.

[0062] The so-called change following the change of the device mode of the electronic device A may be implemented in different ways.

[0063] In a possible implementation, the so-called change following the change of the device mode of the electronic device A may be configured to change following the change of a specific device mode of the electronic device A.

[0064] Specifically, it is assumed that electronic device A is in the do not disturb mode on from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm on weekdays, and is in the do not disturb mode off at other times.

[0065] Then, when the DND mode of electronic device A is turned on, the DND mode of electronic device B needs to follow device A, that is, electronic device B also needs to turn on the DND mode, so that electronic device B is also in the DND mode turned on state from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm on weekdays. When the DND mode of electronic device A is turned off, the DND mode of electronic device B does not need to follow device A. At this time, the device mode of electronic device B is independent of the device mode of electronic device A. For example, if electronic device B is originally in ringing mode, then in the time period other than 9:00 am to 6:00 pm on weekdays, electronic device B switches back to its original ringing mode; if electronic device B is originally in sleep mode, then in the time period other than 9:00 am to 6:00 pm on weekdays, electronic device B switches back to its original sleep mode; if electronic device B is originally in DND mode, then in the time period other than 9:00 am to 6:00 pm on weekdays, electronic device B can continue to be in DND mode. That is, it can be understood that when the specific device mode of electronic device A is in the off state, electronic device B no longer needs to change in accordance with the change of the device mode of electronic device A.

[0066] It is understandable that the number of "specific device modes" in this implementation can also be multiple. For example, electronic device B needs to change with the changes in the do not disturb mode and sleep mode of electronic device A. At this time, if the do not disturb mode of electronic device A is turned on, the do not disturb mode of electronic device B is also turned on. If the sleep mode of electronic device A is turned on, the sleep mode of electronic device B is also turned on. If electronic device A is neither in do not disturb mode nor in sleep mode, then the device mode of electronic device B is independent of the device mode of electronic device A. This allows for more flexible device mode control across devices.

[0067] In another possible implementation, the so-called change following the change of the device mode of the electronic device A may be configured to strictly follow the change of the device mode of the electronic device A.

[0068] Specifically, the device mode of electronic device A is the same as the device mode of electronic device B. That is, there is no time period in which the device mode of electronic device B is irrelevant to the device mode of electronic device A.

[0069] It can be understood that in the implementation of following the above-mentioned specific device mode, the control 203-1 can be configured as a sub-configuration item for the specific device mode. For example, for the do not disturb mode, the setting application of electronic device A has a special configuration interface, such as interface 21. Then, the interface 21 can display a control for configuring whether the do not disturb mode of electronic device B follows the do not disturb mode of electronic device A.

[0070] It is understood that in the above implementation of strict device mode following, the control 203-1 can also be configured as a system-level switch control. For example, the control 203-1 can be displayed in the control center of electronic device A, so that the user can easily access the function of controlling the device mode of electronic device B through electronic device A across devices.

[0071] Continue with Figure 2 Take the interface 23 shown in (c) as an example. Figure 2 As shown in (c), the switch indicator displayed on the control 203-1 in the interface 23, which is used to indicate whether the function of "Mike's tablet" is on or off following the change of the device mode of the electronic device A (here taking "Mike's mobile phone" as an example), is in the off state.

[0072] At this time, that is, when the switch indicator corresponding to the control 203-1 is in the off state, one or more controls in the area 203-2, such as the control 203-2a, the control 203-2b, the control 203-2c, and the control 203-2d, may also be displayed on the interface 23. Among them, the control 203-2a is used to control "Mike's tablet" to enter the do not disturb mode, the control 203-2b is used to control "Mike's tablet" to enter the personal mode, the control 203-2c is used to control "Mike's tablet" to enter the working mode, and the control 203-2d is used to control "Mike's tablet" to enter the sleep mode.

[0073] When the switch indicator corresponding to control 203-1 is in the off state, if the user clicks control 203-2a, it can trigger "Mike's tablet" to enter the do not disturb mode; if the user clicks control 203-2b, it can trigger "Mike's tablet" to enter the personal mode; if the user clicks control 203-2c, it can trigger "Mike's tablet" to enter the working mode; if the user clicks control 203-3d, it can trigger "Mike's tablet" to enter the sleep mode.

[0074] Still Figure 2 Take the interface 23 shown in (c) as an example. The user clicks the control 203-1, which can trigger the switch indicator for indicating that the function of "Mike's tablet" changes with the change of the device mode of the electronic device A is turned on or off, and switches from the off state to the on state, for example Figure 2 In some embodiments, in response to the user clicking the control 203-1, the electronic device A may display Figure 2 Interface 24 shown in (d).

[0075] As shown in interface 24, electronic device A may no longer display one or more controls in area 203-2. This means that in some embodiments, if the "follow Mike's phone" function is enabled for "Mike's tablet" on electronic device A, the user can no longer arbitrarily choose which device mode to control "Mike's tablet" to enter through electronic device A (for example, "Mike's phone" here). That is, at this time, the user can no longer trigger "Mike's tablet" to enter the corresponding device mode by clicking controls 203-2a, 203-2b, 203-2c, and 203-2d displayed on electronic device A. At this time, the device mode of "Mike's tablet" will change with the changes in the device mode of Mike's phone. It can be understood that the "change with...change" mentioned here can be either the "change with...change of a specific mode" mentioned above, or the "strictly follow...change of the device mode" mentioned above.

[0076] Of course, it can also be understood that in some embodiments, at this time, the user can still adjust the device mode of "Mike's tablet" by directly operating "Mike's tablet". That is to say, although the device mode of "Mike's tablet" is configured as "follow Mike's phone" on electronic device A, this is only to facilitate the switching of device modes of other devices for cross-device control, and is not a mandatory requirement.

[0077] Exemplarily, at this time, the user can still adjust the device mode of “Mike's tablet” by clicking a control for switching the device mode displayed on the display screen of “Mike's tablet”.

[0078] For example, suppose that at the beginning, electronic device A (such as "Mike's mobile phone" here) is in the state of do not disturb mode on, and electronic device B (such as "Mike's tablet" here) is in the state of do not disturb mode off. Next, the user first operates electronic device A to turn on the function of letting the do not disturb mode of "Mike's tablet" "follow Mike's mobile phone" to change. Then, in response to the opening operation, the do not disturb mode of "Mike's tablet" will be switched from the previous off state to the on state, achieving the effect of changing with the change of the on or off state of the do not disturb mode of electronic device A. Then, the user actively switches the do not disturb mode of "Mike's tablet" from the on state to the off state by operating "Mike's tablet", then, at this time, the function of "following Mike's mobile phone" for "Mike's tablet" in "Mike's mobile phone" will be triggered and turned off. Since "Mike's tablet" is no longer changing with the change of the on or off state of the do not disturb mode of electronic device A at this time, in order to ensure the accuracy of the on and off state of the function of following the change of the device mode displayed on electronic device A, it is also necessary to adjust its on and off state accordingly.

[0079] The device mode control method provided in the embodiment of the present application can not only realize convenient device mode switching across devices, but also have sufficient flexibility to adapt to different needs of users and change with changes in actual needs of users.

[0080] by Figure 2 Take the interface 24 shown in (d) as an example. Figure 2 As shown in (d), the switch indicator displayed on the control 204 in the interface 24, which is used to indicate whether the function of "Mike's tablet" is on or off following the change of the device mode of electronic device A (here taking "Mike's mobile phone" as an example), is in the on state.

[0081] At this time, that is, when the switch indicator corresponding to the control 204 is in the on state, in response to the user clicking on the switch indicator, the switch indicator can be switched to the off state, and the electronic device A can switch from the display interface 24 to the display interface 23. Further, the user can continue to freely adjust the device mode of "Mike's tablet" through 203-2a, control 203-2b, control 203-2c, and control 203-2d in the interface 23.

[0082] Optionally, a control 202-4 may also be displayed in the interface 22. The control 202-4 may be used to trigger the electronic device A to search for other devices. For example, further search for other devices that meet the conditions for establishing a trust relationship with the electronic device A but have not yet established a trust relationship with the electronic device A, such as a newly purchased electronic device by the user.

[0083] In some embodiments, the interface 22 may also display other devices that the electronic device A has searched for, such as Figure 2 "Mike's smart speaker", "Mike's other mobile phone", "Tina's tablet", "Amy's laptop" and so on on the interface 22 shown in (b).

[0084] Among them, "Mike's smart speaker" and "Mike's other phone" can be electronic devices logged in with the same account as electronic device A, and they can have established a trust relationship with electronic device A. If "Mike's smart speaker" is not connected to electronic device A (for example, because "Mike's smart speaker" is too far away from electronic device A and is disconnected), then interface 22 can specifically display "Mike's smart speaker (not connected)". If "Mike's other phone" is offline (for example, "Mike's other phone" is turned off due to exhaustion of power), then 22 can specifically display "Mike's other phone (offline)".

[0085] In some implementations, if "Mike's smart speaker" is reconnected to electronic device A and "Mike's other phone" is restarted, "Mike's smart speaker" and "Mike's other phone" can automatically appear in the display area where "Mike's tablet", "Mike's smart screen" and "Mike's laptop" are located in interface 22, and be displayed side by side with them.

[0086] In other implementations, if “Mike’s smart speaker” is reconnected to electronic device A and “Mike’s other phone” is restarted, “Mike’s smart speaker” and “Mike’s other phone” may still be displayed in the area used to display other devices, but their names displayed in interface 22 may be changed to “Mike’s smart speaker (controllable)” and “Mike’s other phone (controllable)”.

[0087] Here, “Tina’s tablet” may be an electronic device that has a different account logged in from electronic device A, for example, a tablet that has Tina’s account logged in.

[0088] In one implementation, the reason why “Tina’s tablet” can be displayed in the interface 22 may be because “Tina’s tablet” was temporarily allowed to join the device group of electronic device A, that is, a trust relationship was temporarily established with electronic device A. Thus, the electronic device saves the information of “Tina’s tablet”.

[0089] If "Tina's tablet" is not near electronic device A at this time, even if the user clicks the control corresponding to "Tina's tablet", electronic device A cannot establish a connection with "Tina's tablet", and thus cannot re-invite "Tina's tablet" to re-establish a trust relationship with electronic device A, and thus cannot control the device mode of "Tina's tablet". If "Tina's tablet" is near electronic device A at this time, for example, it is in a position where it can establish a near-field communication connection (such as Bluetooth, WiFi, etc.) with electronic device A, then the user can click the control corresponding to "Tina's tablet" to trigger electronic device A to invite "Tina's tablet" to re-establish a trust relationship with electronic device A, and then control the device mode of "Tina's tablet". In this way, it is convenient to realize cross-device device mode control when devices are borrowed between different users.

[0090] Of course, in some embodiments, if “Tina's tablet” is not near electronic device A, the interface 22 may not display “Tina's tablet” at all.

[0091] It is understandable that the electronic device displayed on the interface 22 may first need to be a device that can support the function of being controlled by the electronic device A across devices. If an electronic device does not support the device mode being controlled by other devices across devices, then such an electronic device will not be displayed in the interface 22.

[0092] It can also be understood that if interface 22 is a lower-level menu or sub-option interface of interface 21 (here, the setting interface of "Do Not Disturb Mode" is used as an example), then the electronic device displayed in interface 22 may first need to be a device that has the function of Do Not Disturb Mode and can support the function of cross-device control of device mode by electronic device A. If an electronic device does not have the function of Do Not Disturb Mode at all, such an electronic device will not be displayed in interface 22.

[0093] Optionally, the interface 21 may also display one or more controls such as controls 201-3, controls 201-4, controls 201-5, controls 201-6, controls 201-7, controls 201-8, etc. Among them, control 201-3 can be used to set the device group, for example, the user can delete one or more devices from the device group, or allow one or more devices to join the device group. Control 201-4 can be used to set the opening or closing of the custom time period of the do not disturb mode. Control 201-5 can be used to add a new custom time period configuration item for the do not disturb mode. Control 201-6 can be used to configure exceptions to allow incoming calls to ring in the do not disturb mode, for example, electronic device A can be configured to allow electronic device A to ring when receiving a call from a user's favorite contact when the do not disturb mode is enabled. Control 201-7 can be used to configure exceptions to information prompts in the do not disturb mode. 201-8 can be used to configure whether to enable the repeated incoming call disturb function.

[0094] In some implementations, if the "Follow Mike's phone" function is enabled for "Mike's tablet" in the DND mode configuration item of electronic device A, then the configuration items corresponding to one or more of the controls 201-4, 201-5, 201-6, 201-7, 201-8, etc. displayed in interface 21 can be synchronized to "Mike's tablet". Of course, before synchronization, "Mike's tablet" can first save the configuration items of its previous DND mode, and when the DND mode of "Mike's tablet" no longer changes with the changes of electronic device A, "Mike's tablet" can also restore the original configuration items based on the saved configuration items.

[0095] Figure 4 The following is an exemplary illustration of an application scenario of a device control method provided by an embodiment of the present application. Figure 4 As shown in (a), interface 401 may be the display interface of a laptop computer, and interface 402 may be the display interface of a mobile phone in a multi-screen collaborative state with the laptop computer. It is understood that in a multi-screen collaborative state, interface 401 may include interface 402, that is, the interface of the mobile phone may be displayed in the form of a window on the interface of the laptop computer. Exemplarily, the content in interface 402 may change in real time as the content displayed on the mobile phone display changes.

[0096] In some embodiments, it can be considered that there is a trust relationship between multiple electronic devices in a multi-screen collaboration state. Therefore, a change in the device mode of one electronic device can automatically trigger a change in the device modes of other electronic devices.

[0097] like Figure 4As shown in (a), if the DND mode of the laptop is switched from off to on, the following will be triggered: Figure 4 As shown in (b), the do not disturb mode of the mobile phone is also switched from off to on.

[0098] like Figure 4 As shown in (c), if the mobile phone's Do Not Disturb mode is switched from off to on, the following will be triggered: Figure 4 As shown in (b), the do not disturb mode of the laptop is also switched from off to on.

[0099] Similarly, if you turn off the Do Not Disturb mode on your laptop, it will trigger the Do Not Disturb mode on your phone to turn off as well. If you turn off the Do Not Disturb mode on your phone, it will trigger the Do Not Disturb mode on your laptop to turn off as well.

[0100] Understandably, Figure 2 In the implementation shown, electronic device A may have a configuration item for configuring "electronic device B follows the device mode of electronic device A", so that the user can manually turn on or off the configuration item. Figure 4 In the implementation shown, even if any one of the two electronic devices or both electronic devices do not have such a configuration item for the user to manually turn on or off, the two devices can also realize the synchronous turning on and off of the device modes of the two electronic devices (taking the do not disturb mode as an example here) by default based on the fact that they are in a multi-screen collaborative state.

[0101] Normally, a mobile phone and a laptop are in a multi-screen collaboration state, which means that the mobile phone is near the laptop and the user is using both devices at the same time. Obviously, at this time, the user's demands for the on and off state of the Do Not Disturb mode of the two devices are likely to be consistent. Automatically configuring the Do Not Disturb mode of two devices in a multi-screen collaboration state to synchronize with each other can improve the user experience and reduce the number of manual steps that users need to perform.

[0102] Figure 5 The flowchart of a device mode control method provided by an embodiment of the present application is exemplarily shown. The method may include steps 501 to 507. The method may be applied to a system including device A and device B.

[0103] First, step 501 can be executed to determine whether there is a trust relationship between device A and device B. For examples of trust relationships, please refer to the description of other parts of the embodiments of the present application, which will not be repeated here. Specifically, the execution subject of step 501 can be device A, device B, or device A and device B. Exemplarily, device A can determine whether device B is a device with a trust relationship based on a list of devices with which it has a trust relationship. Device B is similar. For another example, device A can perform multiple rounds of signaling interactions with device B to confirm whether there is a trust relationship between them.

[0104] In the case of a trust relationship, step 502 can be performed again to determine whether device B has a device mode function corresponding to the device mode of device A. Taking the do not disturb mode as an example, assuming that device A supports the do not disturb mode, if device B also supports the do not disturb mode, the judgment result of step 502 is "yes". Otherwise, it is "no". For the device mode judged as "yes", the user can control the corresponding device mode of device B across devices by operating device A.

[0105] It is understandable that the embodiment of the present application may not limit the execution order between step 501 and step 502. For example, the two steps may be executed first with step 502 and then with step 501, or the two steps may be executed simultaneously.

[0106] In some embodiments, if the conditions of step 501 and step 502 are not met, step 507 is executed, that is, device B is not displayed in the operable device list of device A. For details, reference may be made to other parts of the embodiments of the present application for related descriptions, which will not be repeated here.

[0107] In some embodiments, if the conditions of step 501 and step 502 are satisfied, step 503 is executed, that is, device B is displayed in the operable device list of device A. For details, reference may be made to other parts of the embodiments of the present application for related descriptions, which will not be repeated here.

[0108] Further, subsequent steps 504, 505, and 506 may be executed. Among them, the specific implementation methods of steps 504 and 506 can refer to the relevant descriptions of this in other parts of the embodiments of the present application, and will not be repeated here. In step 505, device A sends a signal to device B in a variety of ways, such as unicast, multicast, broadcast, etc. It is also possible to use one of a variety of communication methods, such as Bluetooth, Wi F i, cellular, etc. The signaling sent by device A to device B may be sent directly point-to-point, or it may be sent by forwarding via a server (such as a remote cloud server). The specific implementation methods of each step are not limited in the embodiments of the present application, and can be implemented in combination with the methods recorded in other parts of the embodiments of the present application.

[0109] Figure 6 The flowchart of a device mode control method provided by an embodiment of the present application is exemplarily shown. The method may include steps 601 to 607. The method may be applied to a system including device A and device B.

[0110] First, step 601 can be executed to determine whether device A and device B are in a multi-screen collaborative state. If "yes", it means that a device group is formed between device A and device B. The device group can be a temporary device group. That is, if the multi-screen collaborative relationship between device A and device B ends, there is no longer a trust relationship between device A and device B, and device A and device B cannot perform cross-device device mode control. If device A and device B are not in a multi-screen collaborative state, you can wait until device A switches the device mode in step 603, and then execute step 604 to determine whether device A is in the device group, and then execute subsequent steps.

[0111] The execution subject of step 601 may be device A, device B, or both device A and device B. Exemplarily, device A may store an identifier for indicating whether it is in a multi-screen collaborative state with device B, and device A may determine the judgment result of step 601 according to the identifier. Alternatively, device A may perform multiple rounds of signaling interaction with device B to confirm whether they are in a multi-screen collaborative state.

[0112] If device A and device B are in a multi-screen collaboration state, it is also possible to wait until device A switches the device mode in step 603, further execute step 604, determine whether device A is in the device group, and then execute subsequent steps.

[0113] In step 604, it is further determined whether device A is in the device group, which can avoid the failure of cross-device device mode control when multi-screen collaboration is interrupted, temporary device groups are disbanded, and new device groups appear. That is, step 604 can be used to obtain the latest information of the device group in which device A is currently located.

[0114] If the judgment in step 604 is "yes", then in step 605, device A may send a device mode update signaling to other devices in the device group, so that in step 606, other devices in the device group may respond to the signaling and update their device modes.

[0115] The present application also provides an electronic device and system for implementing device mode control across devices. The electronic device may have Figure 7 The hardware structure diagram of the electronic device 200 is shown in FIG.

[0116] Combine the following Figure 2 The components of the electronic device 200 are described in detail:

[0117] The RF circuit 210 can be used for receiving and sending data during communication or calls. In particular, after receiving downlink data from the base station, the RF circuit 210 sends it to the processor 230 for processing; in addition, the uplink data to be sent is sent to the base station.

[0121] The electronic device 200 can also implement communication services and interact with other electronic devices, so the electronic device 200 needs to have a data transmission function, that is, the electronic device 200 needs to include a communication module. Figure 2 Communication modules such as the RF circuit 210, the Wi-Fi module 290, and the communication interface 280 are shown, but it is understandable that at least one of the above components or other communication modules (such as a Bluetooth module) for implementing communication exist in the electronic device 200 to perform data transmission.

Optionally, the input unit 250 may include a touch panel 251 and other input devices 252.

[0125] The touch panel 251, also called a touch screen, can collect user touch operations on or near it (for example, operations performed by a user using a finger, a stylus, or any other suitable object or accessory on or near the touch panel 251), and drive corresponding connection devices according to a pre-set program. In the embodiment of the present application, the touch panel 251 can collect user operations on or near it.

[0126] Optionally, the other input devices 252 may include, but are not limited to, one or more of a physical keyboard, function keys (such as a volume control button, a switch button, etc.), a trackball, a mouse, a joystick, etc.

[0127] The display unit 260 can be used to display information input by the user or information provided to the user and various menus of the electronic device 200. The display unit 260 is the display system of the electronic device 200, which is used to present an interface and realize human-computer interaction.

Optionally, the display panel 261 can be configured in the form of a liquid crystal display (LCD), an organic light-emitting diode (OLED), etc. In an embodiment of the present application, the display unit 260 can be used to display a user interface.

[0128] The processor 230 is the control center of the electronic device 200, and uses various interfaces and lines to connect various components, and executes various functions and processes data of the electronic device 200 by running or executing software programs and / or modules stored in the memory 240, and calling data stored in the memory 240, so as to realize various services based on the electronic device 200.

The microphone 271 is used to collect external sound signals (such as the sound of a person speaking, or other sounds, etc.), and convert the collected external sound signals into signals that can be recognized by the audio circuit 270, and send them to the audio circuit 270. The audio circuit 270 can also be used to convert the signal sent by the microphone 271 into audio data, and then output the audio data to the RF circuit 210 to send it to, for example, another electronic device, or output the audio data to the memory 240 for subsequent further processing.
