Optionally, the user input unit 107 may include a touch panel 1071 and other input devices 1072. The touch panel 1071, also known as a touch screen, can collect touch operations of the user thereon or nearby (such as operations of the user using a finger, a stylus, or any suitable object or accessory on or near the touch panel 1071), and drive corresponding connection devices according to a preset program. The touch panel 1071 can include two parts: a touch detection device and a touch controller. Optionally, the touch detection device detects the touch position of the user, detects the signal brought by the touch operation, and transmits the signal to the touch controller; the touch controller receives the touch information from the touch detection device, converts it into contact coordinates, and then sends it to the processor 110, and can receive and execute commands sent by the processor 110.

[0062] Refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 which is a schematic flowchart of a device connection method shown according to an embodiment of the present application. The device connection method of the embodiment of the present application can be applied to a first device (such as a smart terminal like a mobile phone), and includes the following steps: S1a: Obtain first information of the device to be connected. Optionally, the device to be connected is a device that the first device needs to connect to.

The functions or services supported by the first device are used to indicate the functions or services that the first device can achieve based on the device connection. In the case where the device connection request further includes the functions or services supported by the first device, the device to be connected also needs to have the functions or services supported by the first device to establish a connection with the first device. Taking the establishment of a Bluetooth connection as an example, the device connection request may further include whether the first device supports services such as file transfer, network sharing, or audio call. In this way, the device to be connected can be further accurately determined, and the accuracy of device connection is improved.

The specific method of image recognition can refer to the prior art and will not be elaborated here. In this way, the device features of the device can be accurately and conveniently obtained, improving the device connection efficiency and / or connection accuracy.

[0077] Optionally, when the first information includes an image, obtaining the first information of the device to be connected includes: in response to a connection trigger operation, photographing the device to be connected to obtain an image.

[0078] Optionally, the first device may be provided with a device connection setting interface, in which a connection trigger button for triggering device connection may be set.
