Detailed Description

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the description is illustrative only and is not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure. In the following detailed description, for purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the disclosure. It may be evident, however, that one or more embodiments may be practiced without these specific details. Moreover, in the following description, descriptions of well-known structures and techniques are omitted so as to not unnecessarily obscure the concepts of the present disclosure.

The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the disclosure. The terms "comprises," "comprising," and the like, as used herein, specify the presence of stated features, steps, operations, and/or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, steps, operations, or components.

All terms (including technical and scientific terms) used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art unless otherwise defined. It is noted that the terms used herein should be interpreted as having a meaning that is consistent with the context of this specification and should not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense.

Where a convention analogous to "at least one of A, B and C, etc." is used, in general such a construction is intended in the sense one having skill in the art would understand the convention (e.g., "a system having at least one of A, B and C" would include but not be limited to systems that have a alone, B alone, C alone, a and B together, a and C together, B and C together, and/or A, B, C together, etc.). Where a convention analogous to "A, B or at least one of C, etc." is used, in general such a construction is intended in the sense one having skill in the art would understand the convention (e.g., "a system having at least one of A, B or C" would include but not be limited to systems that have a alone, B alone, C alone, a and B together, a and C together, B and C together, and/or A, B, C together, etc.).

Some block diagrams and/or flow diagrams are shown in the figures. It will be understood that some blocks of the block diagrams and/or flowchart illustrations, or combinations thereof, can be implemented by computer program instructions. These computer program instructions may be provided to a processor of a general purpose computer, special purpose computer, or other programmable data processing apparatus, such that the instructions, which execute via the processor, create means for implementing the functions/acts specified in the block diagrams and/or flowchart block or blocks. The techniques of this disclosure may be implemented in hardware and/or software (including firmware, microcode, etc.). In addition, the techniques of this disclosure may take the form of a computer program product on a computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon for use by or in connection with an instruction execution system.

When the electronic equipment is in communication connection with other equipment through WiFi or Bluetooth pairing, the equipment to be connected can be uniquely located through the identification information of the equipment to be connected. This requires not only manual participation of the user but also the user to acquire the identification information of the device to be connected in advance during the establishment of the communication connection. And when the identification information of the device to be connected is difficult to obtain, great trouble is often brought to the user.

For example, if a tablet computer and a wireless keyboard (e.g., a bluetooth keyboard) are used in a classroom, the tablet computer of a user (student or teacher) can search for tens of pieces of information of the wireless keyboard available for connection at the same time. In this case, the user needs to select information of the wireless keyboard (for example, the wireless keyboard on the desktop) from the information of the dozens of wireless keyboards available for connection, so as to connect the tablet computer with the wireless keyboard on the desktop. Otherwise, a connection error may cause the user not to control the tablet computer by operating the wireless keyboard on the desktop. However, the process of selecting the wireless keyboard actually needed by the user from the information of dozens of wireless keyboards available for connection consumes much effort, is very easy to make mistakes, and brings great trouble to the user.

In view of the above-mentioned drawbacks in the related art, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for communication and a corresponding electronic device. When two electronic devices establish communication connection, signal wave (such as light wave or sound wave) interaction between the two electronic devices is triggered through physical contact of the two electronic devices according to a preset mode, wherein communication identification information (such as mac address) of the electronic devices to be paired can be coded in the signal wave, then the two electronic devices can be mutually identified based on the interaction of the signal wave, and directional communication connection is established between the two electronic devices. Therefore, the communication pairing of the equipment is carried out through physical contact, and the effect of one-touch connection is achieved.

The following provides an exemplary description of a method for communication and a corresponding electronic device according to embodiments of the disclosure with reference to the drawings. It should be noted that the terms "first" and "second" are used herein only for distinguishing the terms, and do not have actual limiting meanings.

Fig. 1A and 1B schematically illustrate anapplication scenario 100 of a method and an electronic device for communication according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

As shown in fig. 1A and 1B, theapplication scenario 100 may include atablet computer 11 and awireless keyboard 12. Thetablet computer 11 may be a first electronic device according to the embodiment of the disclosure, and thewireless keyboard 12 may be a second electronic device according to the embodiment of the disclosure. It is understood that in other cases, thetablet computer 11 may be the second electronic device and thewireless keyboard 12 corresponds to the first electronic device.

In fig. 1A, thetablet computer 11 and thewireless keyboard 12 are not in contact. When it is desired to establish a communication connection between thetablet computer 11 and thewireless keyboard 12, thetablet computer 11 and thewireless keyboard 12 may be brought into contact in the manner shown in fig. 1B to trigger a directional communication connection between thetablet computer 11 and thewireless keyboard 12.

The contact between thetablet computer 11 and thewireless keyboard 12 may be physical contact in a predetermined manner. For example, thetablet computer 11 may be provided with a first specific area 111 for contacting thewireless keyboard 12. The first specific region 111 may be provided therein with, for example, metal pins, electrode pins, and the like. Thewireless keyboard 12 may be provided with a second specific area 121 coupled to the first specific area 111. When it is required to trigger the communication connection between thetablet computer 11 and thewireless keyboard 12, the user may contact the first specific region 111 of thetablet computer 11 and the second specific region 121 of thewireless keyboard 12, so as to contact the metal pins or the electrode pins to generate a trigger signal for establishing the communication connection.

Thetablet computer 11 and thewireless keyboard 12 may each include a signal transmitter and/or a signal receiver. The signal transmitter may be, for example, a microphone and/or an LED lamp, etc.; a microphone may be used to transmit sound waves; LED lamps can be used to emit light waves. The signal receiver may be, for example, a speaker and/or a camera, etc.; the horn may be for receiving sound waves; the camera may be used to receive light waves.

The description is continued by taking thetablet computer 11 including the speaker 112 and thewireless keyboard 12 including the microphone 122 as examples. As mentioned above, when thetablet computer 11 and thewireless keyboard 12 are contacted as shown in fig. 1B, a trigger signal for establishing a communication connection is generated.

The trigger signal may initiate the microphone 122 to emit sound waves outward, where communication identification information of thewireless keyboard 12 may be encoded in the sound waves in accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure.

At the same time, the trigger signal may activate the speaker 112 to receive a signal, such as a sound wave emitted by the microphone 122. Thetablet computer 11 may analyze the sound wave to obtain the communication identification information of thewireless keyboard 12. Thereafter, thetablet computer 11 may send a communication request to thewireless keyboard 12 based on the communication identification information to establish a communication connection between thetablet computer 11 and thewireless keyboard 12. After the communication connection between thetablet computer 11 and thewireless keyboard 12 is established, thetablet computer 11 and thewireless keyboard 12 may be kept in contact or may be physically separated, which is not limited in this disclosure.

In one embodiment, the location of the speaker 112 in thetablet computer 11 and the microphone 122 location setting in thewireless keyboard 12 may be matched. For example, when thetablet computer 11 and thewireless keyboard 12 are contacted in the manner shown in fig. 1B, the speaker 112 and the microphone 122 may be located opposite to each other in space, so that the sound wave emitted from the microphone 122 propagates to the speaker 112, and the efficiency and the speed of signal wave transmission can be ensured.

It should be noted that fig. 1A and 1B are only examples of scenarios in which the embodiments of the present disclosure may be applied to help those skilled in the art understand the technical content of the present disclosure, but do not mean that the embodiments of the present disclosure may not be used in other devices, systems, environments or scenarios.

The firstelectronic device 200 may perform the method for communication shown in fig. 4 below, and the secondelectronic device 300 may perform the method for communication shown in fig. 5 below, so that when the firstelectronic device 200 and the secondelectronic device 300 are in physical contact in a predetermined manner, a communication connection between the firstelectronic device 200 and the secondelectronic device 300 may be achieved. In this way, the embodiment of the present disclosure can perform communication pairing of the devices through physical contact of the two electronic devices, and achieve the effect of one touch and one touch.

Fig. 4 schematically shows a flowchart of a method for communication applied to the firstelectronic device 200 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

Since the firstelectronic device 200 and the secondelectronic device 300 are communication connections triggered by physical contact, the firstelectronic device 200 and the secondelectronic device 300 are at a small distance from each other when establishing communication connections. By limiting the time of receiving the signal wave or the signal strength of the signal wave, the interference of other signal waves in the environment can be avoided, and the accuracy of communication establishment is improved.

Since the firstelectronic device 200 and the secondelectronic device 300 are communication connections triggered by physical contact, the firstelectronic device 200 and the secondelectronic device 300 are at a small distance from each other when establishing communication connections. Based on the characteristic, the transmitting time and/or the transmitting strength of the signal wave are/is set, so that the interference of other signal waves in the environment can be avoided, and the accuracy of communication establishment is improved.

In operation S503, the secondcommunication establishing module 330 receives a communication connection request transmitted by the firstelectronic device 200 based on the communication identification information to establish a communication connection with the firstelectronic device 200 based on the communication connection request.
