[0036] That is, the target content on the first electronic device can be run together with the first electronic device through the second electronic device.

[0037] In an embodiment of the present application, the scenario type of at least one application running on a first electronic device is first determined, then information of at least one second electronic device that cooperates with the first electronic device is displayed, and finally the second electronic device is instructed to cooperate with the first electronic device to run the target content corresponding to the scenario type. In an embodiment of the present application, according to the application scenario, the first electronic device can cooperate with multiple second electronic devices to jointly run the content of the scenario, so that the operation of the application is not limited to the hardware structure of the first electronic device itself, and the content in the scenario can be run on other more suitable devices, thereby improving the user experience.

[0038] In a possible implementation of the present application, the multi-device collaboration method may further include: receiving a broadcast message from at least one second electronic device, the broadcast message including an identifier of the operating capabilities supported by the second electronic device; and classifying and setting the second electronic device according to the identifier according to a preset strategy or in response to a user's first input instruction.

[0042] In this embodiment, the first electronic device can receive the supported operating capability identification broadcast by at least one second electronic device, and can automatically classify and set the second electronic device according to the identification, or classify and set the second electronic device according to the user's input instructions to facilitate the subsequent selection of the corresponding second electronic device, so as to enable the second electronic device to cooperate with the first electronic device to run the target content.

[0043] FIG2 is a schematic diagram showing a broadcast message received from a second electronic device and displayed on a first electronic device.

[0044] In one possible implementation of the present application, determining the scenario type of at least one application running on the first electronic device may include: obtaining the application type of the application when detecting that at least one application is running on the first electronic device; and determining the scenario type of the application based on the application type and a pre-set scenario classification.

[0045] Among them, application types may include information applications, such as short messages, etc., video applications, such as various short video applications, long video applications, etc., image applications, such as photo albums, etc., and other types of applications. This embodiment will not list them one by one, and the actual application shall prevail.

The display can be to display only the second electronic device corresponding to the scene type, to place the second electronic device corresponding to the scene type on top, or to mark the second electronic device corresponding to the scene type for display. The display method is not limited in this embodiment and is subject to actual application.

[0049] The scenario type may be classified according to the type of the application itself, as shown in this embodiment, or may be classified according to the application scenario of the application, as shown in the following embodiment.

[0059] That is, the first electronic device can send the target content to the corresponding second electronic device, or the first electronic device can instruct the second electronic device to obtain the target content by accessing cloud storage resources. For example, when the distance is close or the network status is poor, the target content can be sent directly to the second electronic device by the first electronic device. When the network status is good or the distance is far, or when they are on the same network, the second electronic device can be instructed to obtain the target content by accessing cloud storage resources. The acquisition method and the conditions of the acquisition method can be determined according to actual application and are not limited in this embodiment.
