Step 308, receives condition change signal by the wireless receiver on physical connection equipment (i.e. equipment itself is different from the mark of the equipment shown in the centralized control district of terminal).
Step 309, judges that needing the equipment changing connection status whether to create other connects, if exist, enters step 310, otherwise enters step 316.
Step 310, judges whether the equipment of current connection allows to interrupt switching, if allow, then performs and interrupt switching and entering step 316, otherwise enter step 312.Interruption switching refers to: if this has existed connection carry out data transmission, for the situation allowing to interrupt switching, to directly switch current data transmission, to set up new connection, for the situation not allowing to interrupt switching, then can complete current data mutual after perform the operation changing connection status again.User can arrange the type that not interruptible price or interruptible price switch to the connection created, thus guarantees the stability that data are transmitted, or connects the real-time created.
Simultaneously, user also can in advance for equipment setting receives the authority (types, form, size etc. as data) of data, namely the data that this equipment can only receive specified file format in connection device are set, the data of picture format are received as only allowed, then the data of extended formatting cannot be transmitted, or be directly set to grey when showing, represent cannot transmit with this.
Step 312, if the result judged interrupts switching as not allowing, then continues the mutual of data.
Step 314, after data interaction completes, performs the operational order changing connection status.
Step 316, connection device, according to the condition change signal received, realizes unlatching or the closed condition of physical equipment automatically, again realizes the connection status between other external units fast.
Step 318, when needs are in equipment room transmission data, by gesture operation (as drag) data mobiles such as the picture be placed in advance in centralized control district, music, video, files in the mark of corresponding connection device, thus complete the transmission of data; The data such as the picture in centralized control district, music, video, file can show or put ash according to the authority of the outer equipment receiving data of setting in advance, thus are only transmitted the data allowing to share by gesture operation.
Step 320, after having operated, treats next triggering command.
Fig. 4 A to Fig. 4 C shows the schematic diagram of equipment connection management according to an embodiment of the invention.
As shown in the figure, when user needs to manage the terminal of its use and the connection status of external unit, do not need the connection management interface jumping to other from current interface, especially when multiple external unit belongs to different connection types (such as respectively by bluetooth, WIFI, data lines etc. connect), do not need to switch back and forth between multiple connection management interfaces of correspondence, and can by the virtual function buttons marking default gesture graph or click in centralized control district 402 in centralized control district 402, to call corresponding equipment connection management function, thus connection management is carried out to these equipment.
As shown in Figure 4 A, in centralized control district 402, demonstrate the icon corresponding to terminal and external unit, and indicate the connection status between terminal and external unit by the connection status 410 between icon.User not only can view in centralized control district 402 terminal, external unit and between connection status, can view simultaneously and treat sharing data 404, as long as user will treat sharing data 404(, such as user herein thinks share photos) drag on icon corresponding to the external unit wanting to share, just can realize sharing these data.
Such scheme carries out for already present equipment connection the process with data sharing of checking, and create for the connection between equipment, as shown in Figure 4 B.Directly can be established a connection between terminal and equipment 1 by gesture operation, such as first click and choose terminal and equipment 1, then between terminal and equipment 1, line gesture is marked, or directly mark a line gesture through equipment 1 and equipment 4, to realize the establishment be connected between equipment 1 with equipment 4.The terminal be on line track corresponding to this line gesture can be created as needs the object be connected with external unit, such as terminal and equipment 1, but when if the quantity of external unit that detects of terminal is more, then may have to appearance line track exists the situation of the icon of multiple external unit, so can specify using icon corresponding for the two ends of this line track as connecting the object created, thus reduce erroneous judgement.And when user wishes to disconnect current already present equipment connection, then can be realized by gesture operation equally, the connection status 410 such as between already present icon marks "×", this connection can be disconnected.
In addition, when terminal is connected with external unit, according to the change of external unit, the connected mode adopted is also different, such as radio connection may be adopted, as connected (being specifically such as connected to Bluetooth adapter) by bluetooth, connected (being specifically such as connected to wireless router) etc. by WIFI, also wired connection mode may be adopted, (specifically intelligent television is connected to as by HDMI wire road as connected by data line, although then complete physical connection, but still can by managing steering logic, to realize connection or the disconnection of logic level) etc.In order to distinguish different external units, facilitate user management, type identification 411 as shown in Figure 4 B can be shown on the icon that external unit is corresponding or around icon, equipment 1 in such as this figure is for connect by data line, equipment 2 is that (then this equipment 2 can be the equipment such as wireless router by WIFI connection, also can be the WIFI hot spot etc. that other the terminal device such as smart mobile phone, computer creates), equipment 3 and equipment 4 are for be connected by bluetooth, then user can identify 411 by the type and tell the connected mode that this external unit should adopt.And when a fairly large number of external unit is detected for terminal, also the icon of the external unit helping user's fast finding to be concerned about to it is conducive to by type identification 411, or user can represent 413 by selecting different projects, make the icon of the external unit only demonstrating corresponding types in centralized control district 402, user-friendly.
Shown in Fig. 4 B, be the process connected between the terminal and external unit of user operation, but terminal also can manage between external unit and connect, specifically as shown in Figure 4 C.
For user, can be realized establishment and the disconnection of connection equally by gesture operation, the scheme shown in process and Fig. 4 B is similar, such as marks between equipment 2 with equipment 3 and is connected gesture.But for terminal, the managerial demand of connection carries out the information interaction between equipment, and such as establishment of connection process need carries out identifying and matching.Therefore, when terminal (equipment 1) carries out connection management with external unit (equipment 2, equipment 3, equipment 4 etc.), directly can carry out information interaction by terminal and external unit, and during connection between the multiple external unit of terminal control, then need by terminal as medium, to realize the information interaction between multiple external unit, thus complete the management such as establishment, interruption of connection.
In addition, by arranging terminal or connection attribute, thus the experience of better connection management can be realized.
The number of connection that certain station terminal allows to create simultaneously is such as set, only can allows single connection, can allow multi-link.When certain station terminal need to create with external unit is connected time, if the quantity connected is less than maximum permission linking number, then allow foundation newly connection; If the quantity of the connection of having set up equals maximum permission linking number, then system break interruptible price connection establishment newly connects, or continues to wait for.Connection between each terminal of such guarantee can be normally orderly carrying out, can not too much cause systemic breakdown or the state such as slow because number of connection.
Such as can also arrange the type of the connection of establishment, such as interruptible price connects and is connected with not interruptible price, wherein, if interruptible price connects, then need to create when newly connecting, directly can disconnect this interruptible price and connect, to create new connection, no matter and this interruptible price connect whether carrying out data transmission; If interruptible price does not connect, then after needing to wait pending data to be transmitted, just allow to disconnect and create new connection.
Particularly, such as in figure 4 c, equipment 1 and equipment 2 are in connection, and are that interruptible price does not connect, and equipment 3 and equipment 4 are in connection, are that interruptible price connects, and equipment 2 is set to allow to carry out multi-link, and equipment 3 is set to not allow to carry out multi-link.In the case, if user wants to connect between equipment 2 and equipment 3 by gesture operation, then the connection of system meeting interrupting device 3 and equipment 4, the new connection of apparatus for establishing 2 and equipment 3.Particularly, by equipment 1 respectively from equipment 2 and equipment 3 obtain its be connected create time required information, then information is sent to corresponding equipment, thus the connection realized between equipment 2 and equipment 3 creates.And in other cases, such as equipment 2 does not allow to carry out multi-link yet, and carries out data transmission between equipment 1 and equipment 2, then after needing the data between waiting facilities 1 and equipment 2 to be transmitted, connection between off device 1 and equipment 2, and the connection between apparatus for establishing 2 and equipment 3.
Also it should be noted that, sharing data 404 is treated for what show in centralized control district 402, user can arrange reception or the sending permission (types, size etc. as data) of every station terminal, thus in a kind of situation, the mode of Fig. 4 A and Fig. 4 B can be adopted, namely can not treating that the display effect of sharing data 404 changes, only when sending or receive, whether allowing to send or receive to user's display.In another kind of situation, the mode of Fig. 4 C can be adopted, namely for the equipment that user selectes, direct basis corresponds to the authority of this equipment, the display properties treating sharing data 404 is set, receive the data of picture format as only allowed, then the data of extended formatting can put ash, represent cannot share with this.
More than be described with reference to the accompanying drawings technical scheme of the present invention, due in the related, the connection management for equipment needs to carry out redirect, the repetitive operation repeatedly at interface, affects Consumer's Experience, therefore, the invention provides a kind of terminal and a kind of equipment connection management method.By technical scheme of the present invention, user can be made can to view all that connecting, that once connected, connected external units of detecting in current interface, and can manage concentratedly these external units, simultaneously, user just can directly be operated data such as picture, video, music, files in current interface, thus complete data interaction with other equipment, and do not need user to jump to other interfaces again, avoid the troublesome operation of user.
