[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this disclosure clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with specific embodiments and the accompanying drawings.

[0025] The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit this disclosure. The terms “comprising,” “including,” etc., as used herein indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, and / or components, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, steps, operations, or components.

[0027] When using expressions such as "at least one of A, B, and C," the meaning should generally be interpreted according to the understanding of someone skilled in the art. For example, "a system having at least one of A, B, and C" should include, but is not limited to, systems having A alone, having B alone, having C alone, having A and B, having A and C, having B and C, and / or having A, B, and C. Similarly, when using expressions such as "at least one of A, B, or C," the meaning should generally be interpreted according to the understanding of someone skilled in the art. For example, "a system having at least one of A, B, or C" should include, but is not limited to, systems having A alone, having B alone, having C alone, having A and B, having A and C, having B and C, and / or having A, B, and C.

[0028] It should also be noted that the directional terms mentioned in the embodiments, such as "up," "down," "front," "back," "left," and "right," are only for reference to the directions in the accompanying drawings and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this disclosure. Throughout the drawings, the same elements are represented by the same or similar reference numerals. Conventional structures or constructions will be omitted where they may cause confusion in understanding this disclosure.

[0029] In the embodiments disclosed herein, the collection, updating, analysis, processing, use, transmission, provision, disclosure, and storage of data (e.g., including but not limited to user personal information) comply with relevant laws and regulations, are used for legitimate purposes, and do not violate public order and good morals. In particular, necessary measures have been taken to prevent unauthorized access to user personal information data and to safeguard user personal information security, network security, and national security.

[0030] In the embodiments disclosed herein, user authorization or consent is obtained before acquiring or collecting user personal information.

[0031] Figure 1 The diagram illustrates an application scenario of the interaction method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, the application scenario 100 of this interaction method includes a first electronic device 101 and a second electronic device 102. The first electronic device 101 can be a laptop computer, and the second electronic device 102 can be a mobile phone. The first electronic device 101 and the second electronic device 102 can establish a wired or wireless connection for data transmission. This disclosure is not limited to this; the first electronic device 101 can be a tablet computer, desktop computer, etc., and the second electronic device 102 can also be another tablet computer, desktop computer, etc.

[0033] The first electronic device 101 may include multiple input devices, such as a keyboard, an external mouse, a touchpad, etc. After the first electronic device 101 and the second electronic device 102 establish a target connection, an input allocation instruction can be obtained. According to the input allocation instruction, at least one input device in the first electronic device 101 can be allocated to the second electronic device. For example, the touchpad of the first electronic device 101 can be allocated to the second electronic device 102, so that the user can control the second electronic device 102 through the touchpad and control the first electronic device 101 through the mouse, keyboard, etc., thereby realizing that both devices can perform collaborative operation through the input devices of the first electronic device.

[0034] Figure 1 The application scenario shown is merely an example and should not impose any limitation on the functionality and scope of use of the embodiments disclosed herein.

[0035] Figure 2A flowchart illustrating an interactive processing method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown schematically.

[0036] like Figure 2 As shown, the method includes operations S210 to S240.

[0037] In operation S210, a target connection is established between the first electronic device and the second electronic device to obtain an input allocation instruction.

[0038] In operation S220, based on the input allocation instruction, a first input device is determined from among a plurality of input devices that the first electronic device can respond to, and the first electronic device responds to the input of the plurality of input devices in relation to the first cursor position of the first electronic device.

[0039] In operation S230, a target input is received from the first input device.

[0040] In operation S240, based on the target connection, the target input is sent to the second electronic device, causing the second electronic device to respond to the target input.

[0041] The interactive processing method in this example can be applied to scenarios involving collaborative operation of multiple electronic devices.

[0042] For example, the first electronic device can be a laptop, desktop computer, etc. The first electronic device can include multiple input devices, such as a mouse, keyboard, touchpad, etc. The second electronic device can be a mobile phone, tablet computer, or another tablet computer, desktop computer, etc. The first electronic device can act as a control device, and the second electronic device can act as a controlled device. After establishing a target connection with the second electronic device, the first electronic device can control the second electronic device through the first input device determined based on input allocation instructions.

[0043] A target connection refers to a communication connection established between a first electronic device and a second electronic device. The first and second electronic devices can establish a target connection via a data transmission cable, or via Bluetooth, screen mirroring protocols, etc.

[0044] An input assignment instruction is an instruction used to select at least one input device from a plurality of input devices of a first electronic device and assign it to a second electronic device.

[0045] The first cursor position refers to the real-time position of a movable visual indicator within the display area of ​​the first electronic device, such as the current position of a mouse cursor. The first electronic device's response to multiple input devices depends on the first cursor position. For example, mouse movement changes the cursor position, and subsequent click operations trigger interactions in the corresponding screen area based on that position, such as opening a file or selecting text.

[0046] For example, the first electronic device may have multiple input devices with similar functions, and based on the input allocation instruction, one of the redundant input devices may be allocated as the first input device to the second electronic device.

[0047] When a target input is executed via the first input device, the target input is sent to the second electronic device, causing the second electronic device to respond to the target input. Thus, the second electronic device can be controlled by operating the first input device of the first electronic device. Simultaneously, the second electronic device still has a usable second input device. This is beneficial in scenarios involving collaborative operation of multiple electronic devices, allowing users to simultaneously control both the first and second electronic devices through multiple input devices of the first electronic device without needing to operate across devices, thereby improving the efficiency of multi-device collaborative operation.

[0048] For example, if the first electronic device is a tablet computer and the second electronic device is a mobile phone, and a target connection is established between the tablet computer and the mobile phone through a screen mirroring protocol, the touchpad of the tablet computer can be assigned to the mobile phone based on the input assignment command. This allows the target input to the touchpad to directly affect the mobile phone instead of the tablet computer. The user can control the input of the mobile phone through the touchpad and control the tablet computer through the mouse.

[0049] According to embodiments of this disclosure, an input allocation instruction is obtained by establishing a target connection in response to a first electronic device and a second electronic device. Then, a first input device is determined from a plurality of input devices of the first electronic device according to the input allocation instruction, and the first input device is allocated to the second electronic device. This allows a user to control the first electronic device using the second input device while simultaneously controlling the second electronic device using the first input device, eliminating the need for the user to operate across the input devices of different electronic devices and improving the efficiency of multi-device operation.

[0050] According to embodiments of this disclosure, obtaining an input allocation instruction based on establishing a target connection between a first electronic device and a second electronic device may include: establishing a target connection channel between the first electronic device and the second electronic device; and, in response to input control of the second input device among a plurality of input devices, positioning the first cursor of the first electronic device in a first display area enabled by the first electronic device to obtain the input allocation instruction.

[0051] A target connection channel refers to a wired or wireless communication channel established between a first electronic device and two electronic devices.

[0052] For example, if the first cursor position is located in the first display area where the first electronic device is enabled by input control through the second input device, it means that the user is currently operating the first electronic device using the second input device. In this case, the first input device is in an idle state. Therefore, the obtained input allocation instruction can be to allocate the first input device to the second electronic device.

[0053] In some embodiments, if the first cursor position is located in a first display area enabled by the first electronic device via input control from the first input device, and the second input device is in an idle state, the received input allocation instruction may be to allocate the second input device to the second electronic device. In this case, a target input can be received from the second input device, and based on the target connection, the target input can be sent to the second electronic device, causing the second electronic device to respond to the target input. This ensures that at least one input device is always allocated to the second electronic device.

[0054] Continuing with the example of a tablet computer as the first electronic device and a mobile phone as the second electronic device, if the cursor position of the first electronic device controlled by the mouse is located in the first display area enabled by the first electronic device, then the idle touchpad can be assigned to the second electronic device.

[0055] According to embodiments of this disclosure, in response to input from a second input device among a plurality of input devices, controlling the first cursor position of the first electronic device to be located in a display area enabled by the first electronic device, obtaining an input allocation instruction may include: in response to input from the second input device among a plurality of input devices, controlling the first cursor position of the first electronic device to enter the first display area via a first edge of the first display area, thereby obtaining an input allocation instruction. Alternatively, in response to input from the second input device among a plurality of input devices, controlling the second cursor position of the second electronic device to leave the second display area via a second edge of the second display area enabled by the second electronic device, thereby obtaining an input allocation instruction. The first edge and the second edge are determined based on the relative positional relationship between the first electronic device and the second electronic device.

[0056] For example, the input assignment command can be dynamically triggered based on the change in the position of the first cursor.

[0057] For example, the first electronic device is a laptop computer, and the second input device is a mouse. When the user moves the mouse cursor from outside the laptop screen to the left edge (first edge) of the laptop's first display area and into the first display area, an input allocation command can be triggered. The input allocation command can allocate operations for the first input device to the second electronic device, and vice versa, thus enabling the second electronic device to also have an additional input device, thereby initiating a cross-device collaboration mode.

[0058] In some situations, the second input device can move the cursor from the first display area of ​​the first electronic device to the second display area of ​​the second electronic device by moving the mouse cursor across it, and then control the second electronic device through input from the second input device. If the cursor then leaves the second display area of ​​the second electronic device from its second edge using the second input device, it indicates that the user now needs to control the first electronic device using the second input device, and the first input device is idle. In this case, the triggered input assignment command could be to assign input to the second electronic device to the first input device, or vice versa.

[0059] The division between the first edge and the second edge can be based on the physical or logical arrangement of the first and second electronic devices. For example, if the screens of two electronic devices are side by side, the first edge might be the right edge of the first device's screen, and the second edge might be the left edge of the second device's screen.

[0060] Figure 3 A schematic diagram illustrating the determination of input allocation instructions according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown.

[0061] like Figure 3 As shown, in response to the second input device 304 controlling the cursor position to leave the second display area 302 from the second edge 305 of the second display area 302 enabled by the second electronic device, or to enter the first display area 301 from the first edge 306 of the first display area 301 of the first electronic device, an input allocation instruction is obtained. The obtained input allocation instruction may be to allocate the first input 303 to the second electronic device.

[0062] For example, the second input device 304 is a mouse, the first electronic device is a laptop computer, and the second electronic device is a mobile phone. When the mouse is located in the first display area 301, the mobile phone can be controlled using the mouse; when the mouse is located in the second display area 302, the laptop computer can be controlled using the mouse. When the mouse enters the first display area from the first edge of the first display area 301, an input allocation command is obtained. The obtained input allocation command is used to allocate the laptop computer's touchpad to the mobile phone.

[0063] It can also obtain input assignment instructions when the mouse is disconnected from the phone or reconnected to the laptop, and assign the first input device, such as the touchpad, to the phone using the obtained input assignment instructions.

[0064] In some instances, an input assignment instruction can be obtained in response to a first electronic device connecting a new input device. For example, a laptop originally includes a touchpad and a keyboard as input devices. In response to a user connecting a new input device, such as a mouse, to the laptop, an input assignment instruction is obtained, which can then be used to assign the touchpad or keyboard to a mobile phone.

[0065] By dynamically allocating input control through the cursor's movement across the edge of the display area between the first and second electronic devices, the flexibility of input device allocation can be improved.

[0066] According to embodiments of this disclosure, obtaining an input allocation instruction based on establishing a target connection between a first electronic device and a second electronic device may include: establishing a target connection channel between the first electronic device and the second electronic device; and, in response to input control from a second input device among a plurality of input devices, positioning a first cursor on the first electronic device in a first area within a display area enabled by the first electronic device, thereby obtaining the input allocation instruction. The first area is an area outside the second area within the display area enabled by the first electronic device, and the second area is the display area for the display data transmitted by the second electronic device.

[0067] For example, after establishing a target connection channel between the first electronic device and the second electronic device, the display data of the second electronic device can be projected onto a second area of ​​the first electronic device.

[0068] When the first cursor position is in the first area, it indicates that the user controls the first electronic device through the second input device. At this time, the first input device is in an idle state, and the input allocation instruction obtained may be to allocate the first input device to the second electronic device.

[0069] Therefore, users can control the first electronic device in the first area through the second input device, and control the second electronic device in the second area through the first input device, thereby improving the efficiency of collaborative work.

[0070] According to embodiments of this disclosure, in response to input from a second input device among a plurality of input devices, the first cursor position of the first electronic device is located in a first area within a display area enabled by the first electronic device. Obtaining an input allocation instruction may include: in response to input from a second input device among a plurality of input devices, the first cursor position of the first electronic device enters the first area via the edge of the second area to obtain an input allocation instruction; or in response to input from a second input device among a plurality of input devices, the second cursor position of the second electronic device leaves the second area via the edge of the second area to obtain an input allocation instruction.

[0071] For example, when the cursor position is moved from the edge of the first area to the second area via the second input device, the obtained input allocation instruction could be to allocate the second input device to the second electronic device and to allocate the first input device to the first electronic device. In other words, this achieves the allocation and exchange of the first and second input devices, ensuring that the first and second electronic devices always have their own independent input devices.

[0072] For example, the cursor position can be moved from the edge of the second area to the first area using the second input device, and an input allocation instruction can be obtained. The obtained input allocation instruction could be to allocate the second input device to the first electronic device, or to allocate the first input device to the second electronic device.

[0073] For example, after projecting the phone's display onto a second area of ​​a laptop, in response to the cursor being positioned in the first display area of ​​the laptop (excluding the second display area), the input allocation instruction can be to assign the touchpad to the phone and the mouse to the laptop, thus controlling the phone with the touchpad and the laptop with the mouse. When the cursor is moved from the edge of the first area to the second area using the mouse, the input allocation instruction can be to assign both the mouse and touchpad to the phone, or the mouse to the phone and the touchpad to the computer. When the cursor is moved from the edge of the second area to the first area using the mouse, the input allocation instruction can be to assign the mouse to the laptop and the touchpad to the phone. This allows for flexible switching of input devices.

[0074] For example, the first input device can also be a gamepad or a keyboard, and the input assignment instruction can also be to assign the gamepad or keyboard to the second electronic device. For example, when a mobile phone enters game mode, the input assignment instruction can be to assign the gamepad to the mobile phone; or, for example, when a mobile phone enters text input mode, the input assignment instruction can be to assign the keyboard to the mobile phone.

[0075] According to embodiments of this disclosure, obtaining an input allocation instruction based on establishing a target connection between a first electronic device and a second electronic device may include: displaying an input allocation control based on establishing a target connection between the first electronic device and the second electronic device; and obtaining an input allocation instruction in response to an operation on the input allocation control.

[0076] For example, after establishing a target connection, a pop-up window for allocation controls can be displayed in the display area of ​​the first electronic device. Multiple allocation logics for input allocation instructions can be predefined in the allocation controls. Once the user's operation satisfies the allocation logic, the corresponding input allocation instruction can be obtained.

[0077] Figure 4A schematic diagram illustrating the determination of input allocation instructions according to another embodiment of the present disclosure is shown.

[0078] like Figure 4 As shown, in response to the second input device 404 controlling the first cursor position of the first electronic device to enter the first region 401 via the edge of the second region 405, or to leave the second region 405 via the edge of the second region 405, an input allocation instruction is obtained; the obtained input allocation instruction can allocate the first input device 403 to the second electronic device 402.

[0079] For example, the first electronic device can be a computer, and the second electronic device can be a mobile phone. The mobile phone screen can be projected onto the computer. In this case, the second area 405 is the display area of ​​the mobile phone, and the first area 401 is the area of ​​the computer's display area excluding the mobile phone's display area. This disclosure is not limited to this; the first electronic device can be a mobile phone, the second electronic device can be a computer, and the computer screen can also be projected onto the mobile phone. In this case, the second area 405 is the display area of ​​the computer, and the first area 401 is the area of ​​the mobile phone's display area excluding the computer's display area. In some instances, the first electronic device and the second electronic device can be simultaneously projected onto a third electronic device. The first area 401 is the display area of ​​the first electronic device, and the second area 402 is the display area of ​​the second electronic device.

[0080] In some embodiments, an input allocation instruction may also be obtained in response to the display device of the first electronic device being disabled or in a sleep state. For example, after a target connection is established between a computer and a mobile phone, if the computer's display device is not displaying content or does not require input, at least one of the computer's touchpad, mouse, and keyboard may be allocated to the mobile phone based on the input allocation instruction.

[0081] According to embodiments of this disclosure, after establishing the target connection channel, the method may further include: obtaining configuration information of the local input of the second electronic device based on the target connection channel; and establishing an input mapping relationship between the local input of the second electronic device and the first input device based on the configuration information of the local input of the second electronic device.

[0082] For example, the configuration information for local input may be, for instance, the input mode information of the second electronic device and the attribute information of the input control.

[0083] For example, if the second electronic device is a mobile phone, the input configuration information can include the number and functions of the navigation keys on the phone, the size and coordinates of the phone's touchscreen, and other information. If the first input device includes function keys, an input mapping relationship can be established between the function keys of the first input device and the phone's navigation keys. If the first input device includes a touchpad, a mapping relationship between the spatial coordinates and functions of the touchpad and the phone's touchscreen can be established.

[0084] Thus, a target operation for a first input device can be converted into a target input for a second electronic device, so that the second electronic device can respond to the target input.

[0085] According to embodiments of this disclosure, the first input device includes function keys. Sending a target input to a second electronic device based on a target connection, causing the second electronic device to respond to the target input, may include: in response to the second electronic device activating a target mode, obtaining a function mapping relationship between the function keys of the first input device and the input controls of the target mode based on the target connection; in response to a target input to the function keys, determining a target instruction based on the function mapping relationship; and sending the target instruction to the second electronic device, causing the second electronic device to respond to the target input based on the target instruction.

[0086] For example, the target mode can refer to a mode in which the second electronic device can receive and respond to target input from the first electronic device. The input control can be a physical button on the second electronic device or a virtual button on the display screen.

[0087] For example, it can be first detected whether the function keys of the first input device can match the input controls of the second electronic device. If they match, a function mapping relationship between the two can be established.

[0088] For example, function keys could be the left and right click buttons on a touchpad used to control mouse clicks, while input controls could be virtual navigation keys on a mobile phone, such as the back and home buttons. A function mapping relationship can be established between the left click button and the back button, and between the right click button and the home button. Therefore, operating the left click button can perform the function of the back button on the mobile phone, and operating the right click button can perform the function of the home button.

[0089] Therefore, by using the function mapping relationship, the first input device can be used to quickly operate the second electronic device.

[0090] According to embodiments of this disclosure, the first input device includes a touchpad, and the first electronic device includes a touchscreen. Sending a target input to a second electronic device based on a target connection, causing the second electronic device to respond to the target input, may include: obtaining a touch mapping relationship between a first touch area of ​​the touchpad and a second touch area of ​​the touchscreen based on the target connection; determining a target instruction based on the touch mapping relationship in response to a target input to the first touch area; and sending the target instruction to the second electronic device, causing the second electronic device to respond to the target input based on the target instruction and a second cursor position.

[0091] For example, the first touch area may be the entire surface or a portion of the surface of the touchpad, and the second touch area may be the full screen or a specific area on the touchscreen that corresponds to the touchpad function.

[0092] Touch mapping relationships can include spatial coordinate mapping relationships and functional mapping relationships between the first touch area and the second touch area. Spatial coordinate mapping relationships can be, for example, the upper left and upper right corners of the touchpad corresponding to the upper left and upper right corners of the touchscreen, respectively. Functional mapping relationships can be, for example, scaling the touchpad's swipe distance to the touchscreen's swipe distance, and mapping touchpad clicks or long presses to touchscreen clicks or long presses, etc.

[0093] For example, a user can generate target input data, such as coordinates, pressure values, and gesture types, by performing operations such as sliding the cursor and clicking on the touchpad. This input data is then sent from the first electronic device to a second electronic device via a target connection. Upon receiving the input, the second device can convert the input coordinates from the touchpad into corresponding coordinates on the touchscreen and, in conjunction with the second cursor position on the second electronic device, perform operations such as moving the cursor, clicking, or scrolling the page.

[0094] By using the touch mapping relationship between the touchpad and the touchscreen, the touchpad can be used to control a second electronic device, which can simulate the input habits of the second electronic device itself and improve the user experience.

[0095] According to embodiments of this disclosure, the touchpad includes a first touch area and an edge area. The first touch area and a second touch area have matching shapes, and the edge area is the area of ​​the touchpad outside the first touch area. Sending a target input to a second electronic device based on a target connection, causing the second electronic device to respond to the target input, may include: obtaining a touch mapping relationship between the edge area of ​​the touchpad and the screen edge area of ​​the touchscreen based on the target connection; sending the target input from the touchpad to the second electronic device, causing the second electronic device to respond to the target input based on the touch mapping relationship and a second cursor position.

[0096] Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the area division of a touchpad according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown.

[0097] like Figure 5 As shown, the middle area of ​​the touchpad is the first touch area 502, and the area outside the boundary of the first touch area 502 is the edge area 501.

[0098] The touch mapping relationship between the edge area of ​​the touchpad and the edge area of ​​the touchscreen can include the mapping relationship of edge coordinates and the mapping relationship of edge functions.

[0099] For example, the mapping relationship of edge coordinates may include the upper edge area of ​​the touchpad corresponding to the upper edge area of ​​the touch screen, the lower edge area of ​​the touchpad corresponding to the lower edge area of ​​the touch screen, the left edge area of ​​the touchpad corresponding to the left edge area of ​​the touch screen, and the right edge area of ​​the touchpad corresponding to the right edge area of ​​the touch screen.

[0100] For example, the mapping relationship of edge functions may include: mapping a downward swipe action from the top edge of the touchpad to a downward page-turning action on the touchscreen; mapping a downward swipe action from the bottom edge of the touchpad to an upward page-turning action on the touchscreen; mapping a rightward swipe action from the left edge of the touchpad to a rightward page-turning action on the touchscreen; mapping a leftward swipe action from the right edge of the touchpad to a rightward page-turning action on the touchscreen, etc.

[0101] For example, zooming actions in the first touch area of ​​the touchpad can also be mapped to zooming actions in the second touch area of ​​the touchscreen.

[0102] Therefore, by increasing the touch mapping relationship between the edge area of ​​the touchpad and the edge area of ​​the touchscreen, the operation on the touchpad can be directly mapped to the swipe event of the touchscreen. Compared with the movement operation of the mouse, it is easier to perform the operation of flipping pages left and right or flipping pages up and down, making the operation more convenient.

[0103] Figure 6 A schematic block diagram of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown.

[0104] like Figure 6 As shown, the electronic device 600 includes multiple input devices 610 and a processor 620.

[0105] The processor 620 is used to establish a target connection between the electronic device and the target electronic device to obtain an input allocation instruction; based on the input allocation instruction, determine a first input device among multiple input devices that the electronic device can respond to, and the electronic device responds to the input of multiple input devices in relation to the first cursor position of the electronic device; receive the target input from the first input device; and based on the target connection, send the target input to the target electronic device so that the target electronic device responds to the target input.

[0106] According to embodiments of this disclosure, the first input device includes function keys; sending a target input to a second electronic device based on the target connection, so that the second electronic device responds to the target input, may further include: in response to the second electronic device activating a target mode, obtaining a function mapping relationship between the function keys of the first input device and the input controls of the target mode based on the target connection; in response to a target input to the function keys, determining a target instruction based on the function mapping relationship; and sending the target instruction to the second electronic device, so that the second electronic device responds to the target input based on the target instruction.

[0107] According to an embodiment of this disclosure, the first input device includes a touchpad, and the target electronic device includes a touchscreen; the processor is further configured to obtain a touch mapping relationship between a first touch area of ​​the touchpad and a second touch area of ​​the touchscreen based on a target connection; in response to a target input to the first touch area, determine a target instruction based on the touch mapping relationship; and send the target instruction to the target electronic device, causing the target electronic device to respond to the target input based on the target instruction and a second cursor position.
