Description

Input control method and electronic equipment

Technical Field

The embodiment of the application relates to the technical field of terminals, in particular to an input control method and electronic equipment.

Background

Along with the development of terminal technology, multi-screen coordination can be realized among the electronic devices, and the display screens of the two electronic devices are controlled by one electronic device, so that the display space is enlarged, and the content on one electronic device can be rapidly transmitted to the other electronic device for display. In general, in a multi-screen collaboration process, a set of key mice is shared by a plurality of electronic devices, and the display position of the keyboard input content is switched along with the switching of the display position of the mouse pointer between the display screens.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 1 (a), a multi-screen cooperative connection is established between the computer 101 and the tablet 102, and the computer 101 and the tablet 102 share a set of mice. If the mouse pointer 11 is displayed on the display screen of the computer 101 at this time, the contents input by the user through the keyboard can be displayed on the display screen of the computer 101 at this time. Then, the mouse pointer 11 is moved in the direction of the tablet 102 and out of the edge of the display screen of the computer 101 in response to the user operation, so that the computer 101 hides the displayed mouse pointer 11, and as shown in fig. 1 (b), the mouse pointer 12 is displayed on the display screen of the tablet 102, so that the contents input by the user through the keyboard are displayed on the display screen of the tablet 102.

It can be seen that if the user inadvertently moves the mouse such that the mouse pointer display position switches between the display screens, the display position of the keyboard input content is caused to switch as the mouse pointer switches. If the user does not perceive the switching of the display position of the mouse pointer, the error of the input position can be caused, and the use experience of the user is affected.

Disclosure of Invention

In order to solve the technical problems described above, embodiments of the present application provide an input control method and an electronic device. According to the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the application, after the operation of determining the position of the switching input focus, the first electronic device intercepts and forwards the input to the second electronic device, so that the user experience is improved.

In order to achieve the technical purpose, the embodiment of the application provides the following technical scheme:

in a first aspect, an input control method is provided and applied to a first electronic device. The method comprises the following steps: determining a first operation acting on the first display area; the first operation is for indicating to switch the input focus position to a first display area of the second electronic device. After determining the first operation on the first display area, intercepting the first input and transmitting the first input to the second electronic device to enable display of the first input in the first display area of the second electronic device.

Alternatively, the first operation is a mouse click operation acting on the first display area, or the first operation is a touch operation acting on the first display area.

In some embodiments, the first display area may be, for example, all or a portion of the area of the display screen. Specifically, the first display area may refer to a display area for displaying a certain application, function, component, or the like, and any one of component areas that can support input.

In some embodiments, the first electronic device implements interception of the first input through keyboard HOOK. After the first operation is determined, the first electronic device mounts the keyboard HOOK, intercepts and forwards the first input through the first HOOK. And before the first operation is determined, the first electronic device does not mount the keyboard HOOK (such as unloading the keyboard HOOK), and then the obtained input is issued to the local application, so that the input is displayed in the display area of the local application.

Thus, the first electronic device does not switch the input focus position after detecting the operation of moving the mouse pointer to other display areas. After the first electronic device determines that the user has the intention of switching the input focus, the first electronic device is hung on the keyboard HOOK, intercepts a subsequent keyboard input event and sends the subsequent keyboard input event to the second electronic device, so that the switching of the input focus is realized, the input display is ensured to meet the user requirement, and the user experience is improved.

According to a first aspect, or any implementation manner of the first aspect, after determining a first operation acting on the first display area, intercepting the first input and sending the first input to the second electronic device includes: after detecting a click operation of the mouse in the first display area, or after determining a touch operation acting on the first display area, intercepting a first input of the keyboard and transmitting the first input to the second electronic device.

In this way, the first electronic device determines the user intention according to the click position of the mouse, or determines the user intention according to the position of the touch operation. The first electronic device switches the input focus position to the position of the first operation action only after determining the user intention. The display position of the subsequent input can meet the user demand, the problem of abnormal input position caused by misoperation of moving the mouse position can be avoided, and the user experience is improved.

According to a first aspect, or any implementation manner of the first aspect, determining a first operation acting on a first display area includes: a first operation is detected that is applied to the first display area. Or receiving the first information sent by the second electronic device, wherein the first information is the information sent after the second electronic device detects the first operation acting on the first display area.

In some embodiments, the first electronic device acts as a master device, and the multi-screen collaboration mode applied by the first electronic device and the second electronic device includes: a shared collaboration mode, a windowed collaboration mode, or a full-screen extended collaboration mode.

For example, in the sharing collaboration mode, the display screen of the first electronic device and the display screen of the second electronic device are displayed separately, the first display area is a display area displayed by the display screen of the second electronic device, and the second display area is an area displayed by the first electronic device. The first electronic device is capable of detecting a mouse click operation on a display screen of the second electronic device

For another example, in the windowed collaboration mode, the second display area is a screen projection area of the first electronic device on the second electronic device display screen, and the first display area is a display area other than the screen projection area on the second electronic device display screen. Then, after detecting a touch operation acting on the first display area, the second electronic device transmits first information to the first electronic device, and the first electronic device determines that the first operation is generated when receiving the first information, that is, determines that the input focus is to be switched to the first display area.

In this way, the first electronic device needs to determine the first operation before switching the input focus position, and even if the first operation is not acting on the first electronic device, the first operation can be determined by the connection with the second electronic device. The first electronic device switches the input focus position only after determining the first operation, intercepts and forwards the input to the second electronic device. Thereby meeting the input requirements of the user.

According to the first aspect, or any implementation manner of the first aspect, the method further includes: after detecting a second operation acting on the second display area, determining to scroll display the display content displayed in the second display area; the second display area is a display area corresponding to the first electronic device.

According to the first aspect, or any implementation manner of the first aspect, the second operation is a mouse scroll wheel operation when the second display area displays the mouse pointer.

According to the first aspect, or any implementation manner of the first aspect, determining to scroll display the display content displayed in the second display area includes: when the second display area is the display area of the first electronic device, scrolling display contents of the second display area; or, in the case that the second display area is a display area for displaying the screen-casting content of the first electronic device, which is displayed by the second electronic device, sending the scroll display content of the second display area to the second electronic device.

For example, assume that the multi-screen collaboration mode of the first electronic device and the second electronic device application is a shared collaboration mode. The first electronic device detects an operation of scrolling the mouse wheel acting on the second display area of the first electronic device in the process of intercepting and transmitting the first input to the second electronic device, and scrolls and displays the display content of the second display area.

Also by way of example, assume that the multi-screen collaborative mode applied by the first electronic device and the second electronic device is a windowed collaborative mode or a full-screen extended screen collaborative mode. After the first electronic equipment detects the second operation acting on the second display area, the first electronic equipment sends first screen throwing content to the second electronic equipment, wherein the first screen throwing content is the screen throwing content of rolling display.

Therefore, the display position of the mouse pointer is decoupled from the position of the input focus, the input focus is uniformly managed by the first electronic equipment, and the requirement that a user inputs content in one display area while scrolling and browsing in the other display area is met.

According to the first aspect, or any implementation manner of the first aspect, the method further includes: determining a third operation acting on the second display area; the third operation is used for indicating to switch the input focus position to a second display area corresponding to the first electronic device. Based on the second input, it is determined to display the second input in the second display area.

In some embodiments, the first electronic device, after determining the third operation, uninstalls the keyboard HOOK, does not intercept the first input any more, but determines to display the second input in the second display area according to the second input after subsequently receiving the second input. Alternatively, the third operation is a mouse click operation acting on the second display area, or the third operation is a touch operation acting on the second display area.

In this way, the first electronic device determines whether to mount or dismount the keyboard HOOK according to whether the display area is the display area corresponding to the first electronic device only after determining the mouse click operation or the touch operation acting on the display area. Thereby ensure that the input display satisfies the user demand, promote user's use experience.

Among other wireless communication technologies, at least one of the following is included but not limited to: near field wireless communication (near field communication, NFC), bluetooth (BT) (e.g., conventional bluetooth or low energy (bluetooth low energy, BLE) bluetooth), wireless local area network (wireless local area networks, WLAN) (e.g., wireless fidelity (wireless fidelity, wi-Fi) network), zigbee (Zigbee), frequency modulation (frequency modulation, FM), infrared (IR), and the like.

In some embodiments, both the first electronic device 100 and the second electronic device 200 support a proximity discovery function. Illustratively, both the first electronic device 100 and the second electronic device 200 are capable of implementing a proximity discovery function through NFC induction. After the first electronic device 100 approaches the second electronic device 200, the first electronic device 100 and the second electronic device 200 can find each other, and then establish a wireless communication connection such as a Wi-Fi end-to-peer (P2P) connection, a bluetooth connection, or the like. Thereafter, the first electronic device 100 and the second electronic device 200 implement multi-screen collaboration.

In some embodiments, the first electronic device 100 and the second electronic device 200 establish a wireless communication connection through a local area network. For example, the first electronic device 100 and the second electronic device 200 are both connected to the same router.

In some embodiments, the first electronic device 100 establishes a wireless communication connection with the second electronic device 200 through a cellular network, the internet, or the like. For example, the second electronic device 200 accesses the internet through a router, and the first electronic device 100 accesses the internet through a cellular network; further, the first electronic device 100 establishes a wireless communication connection with the second electronic device 200.

Alternatively, the first electronic device 100 or the second electronic device 200 may be, for example, a personal computer (personal computer, PC), a tablet (Pad), a mobile phone (mobile phone), a notebook, a desktop, a notebook, a computer with a transceiver function, a wearable device, a vehicle-mounted device, an artificial intelligence (artificial intelligence, AI) device, or other terminal devices. The operating system installed by the first electronic device 100 or the second electronic device 200 includes, but is not limited to

Or other operating system. In some embodiments, the device types of the first electronic device 100 and the second electronic device 200 are the same or different, and the operating systems installed by the first electronic device 100 and the second electronic device 200 are the same or different. In some embodiments, the first electronic device 100 or the second electronic device 200 may be a fixed device or a portable device. The specific type of the first electronic device 100 or the second electronic device 200, and the installed operating system are not limited in this application.

In some embodiments, the first electronic device 100 or the second electronic device 200 is configured with a respective keyboard and mouse. For example, assume that the first electronic device 100 is a PC configured with a keyboard and a mouse touch pad. Optionally, the PC may also be configured with an external keyboard and/or mouse. Alternatively, in the case where the first electronic device 100 or the second electronic device 200 is configured with a touch screen, a mouse or a keyboard may be configured, or the keyboard or the mouse may not be configured, such as displaying a virtual keyboard directly through the touch screen and receiving a touch operation. For example, as shown in fig. 2A, assume that the second electronic device 200 is a PAD, which is a touch screen. Alternatively, the PAD may configure the stylus 21. Alternatively, the PAD may be connected to an external keyboard and mouse.

In some embodiments, after the first electronic device 100 and the second electronic device 200 establish a connection, the method may be applied to a multi-screen collaboration scenario as shown in fig. 2B.

As shown in fig. 2B (a), after the first electronic device 100 and the second electronic device 200 are connected, the display screen of the first electronic device 100 and the display screen of the second electronic device 200 may be displayed separately, and the keyboard and the mouse of the first electronic device 100 may control the second electronic device 200, which is equivalent to that the first electronic device 100 is externally connected with a display screen, so as to enlarge the display space of the first electronic device. Such as by the first electronic device 100 transmitting the received input content of the keyboard to the display screen of the second electronic device 200 for display. Alternatively, the current multi-screen collaboration scenario may be a shared collaboration mode of the first electronic device 100 and the second electronic device 200.

Also for example, as shown in fig. 2B (B), after the first electronic device 100 and the second electronic device 200 are connected, the display area 22 is displayed on the second electronic device 200, and the display area 22 is used to display the content sent by the first electronic device 100. In the current scenario, the display content of the display area 22 on the first electronic device 100 and the second electronic device 200 may be the same or different. Alternatively, the first electronic device 100 changes the display content in response to the user operation, and does not affect the operation of displaying the content in the display area 22 on the second electronic device 200. For example, the first electronic device 100 drops the application a onto the display area 22 of the second electronic device 200 for display, and the user's operation on the application B in the first electronic device 100 does not affect the application a displayed in the display area 22 of the second electronic device 200. Alternatively, the current multi-screen collaboration scenario may be a windowed collaboration mode of the first electronic device 100 and the second electronic device 200.

As shown in fig. 2B (c), after the first electronic device 100 and the second electronic device 200 are connected, the second electronic device 200 displays a display area 23, where the display area 23 is used for displaying the display content of the second electronic device 200, and the screen-projection area 23 is used for displaying the screen-projection content sent by the first electronic device 100. Alternatively, the current multi-screen collaborative scenario may be a full-screen extended screen collaborative mode of the first electronic device 100 and the second electronic device 200.

It should be noted that, the first electronic device 100 and the second electronic device 200 establish multi-screen cooperative connection in three cooperative modes as shown in fig. 2B is merely illustrative, and as technology advances, the first electronic device 100 and the second electronic device 200 may also establish multi-screen cooperative connection in more cooperative modes, and may divide different multi-screen cooperative scenes in other cooperative mode dividing manners, which is not limited in particular.

In addition, in the above-described scenario as shown in fig. 2B, the first electronic device 100 and the second electronic device 200 may determine the master device according to the user operation in the process of establishing the connection. Alternatively, the first electronic device 100 and the second electronic device negotiate to determine the master device. In the embodiment of the present application, the first electronic device 100 is taken as a main device, and a keyboard and a mouse capable of controlling the second electronic device 200 are configured as examples, and the input control method is described by taking a multi-screen collaboration scenario as shown in fig. 2B as an example. It will be appreciated that the second electronic device 200 may also act as a master device. Optionally, the number of second electronic devices 200 is one or more.

Optionally, in the scenario shown in fig. 2B (B) or fig. 2B (c) above, in order to avoid a collision with the keyboard input of the first electronic device 100, the second electronic device 200 may not display the virtual keyboard any more, and/or the keyboard of the second electronic device 200 may not operate any more. This will not be described further below.

By way of example, fig. 3 shows a schematic diagram of a structure of the first electronic device 100 or the second electronic device 200.

In some scenarios, the first electronic device 100 and the second electronic device 200 establish a multi-screen collaborative connection that shares a collaborative mode as shown in fig. 2B (a). That is, after the first electronic device 100 and the second electronic device 200 establish a connection, the display screen of the first electronic device 100 and the display screen of the second electronic device 200 may be displayed separately. Also, the keyboard and mouse of the first electronic device 100 may control the second electronic device 200.

In some embodiments, after the first electronic device 100 detects that the mouse pointer moves out of the display screen where the input focus is located, the display screen where the input focus is located is not switched, so as to ensure that the user can perform input on the original display screen. And only after detecting the clicking operation of the user on other display screens, the input focus is moved to the corresponding display screen. Optionally, the clicking operation may be clicking operation such as clicking operation of a mouse, double clicking operation, etc., or may be touch operation of a user on a display screen or clicking operation by a stylus.

The first electronic device 100 can determine that the mouse needs to be moved to the display screen of the second electronic device 200 for display according to the connection relationship and the positional relationship with the second electronic device 200. It should be noted that, the implementation of the movement position of the mouse pointer and the switching of the display screen may refer to the prior art, and the embodiments of the present application are not specifically limited.

Thereafter, as shown in fig. 5 (b), in the case where the second electronic device 200 displays the mouse pointer 53, the first electronic device 100 remains to display the input content on the display screen of the first electronic device 100 after receiving the user's input, as shown by reference numeral 54. That is, the input focus of the electronic device does not switch the input position following the mouse pointer switching display screen any more, thereby avoiding an input abnormality caused by a user's misoperation.

As shown in fig. 5 (c), the first electronic device 100 detects a mouse click operation of the user on the display screen of the second electronic device 200, and determines that the user needs to input display content on the display screen of the second electronic device 200, and needs to switch the input focus to the second electronic device, as shown by reference numeral 55. Thus, the event interception module as shown in fig. 4A is activated, enabling switching of the input focus to the second electronic device 200. For example, after receiving a mouse-down event, the mouse module in the first electronic device 100 determines that the operation position is the second electronic device 200, and mounts a keyboard HOOK through the event interception module, so as to intercept a subsequent keyboard input event, and send the keyboard input event to the second electronic device 200. For another example, the second electronic device 200 detects a touch operation (such as a touch operation by a finger, a stylus, or the like) of the user on the display screen, sends a network signaling to the first electronic device 100, instructs the first electronic device 100 to start the event interception module, mounts the keyboard HOOK, and then, the first electronic device 100 intercepts the keyboard input event using the keyboard HOOK again, and then sends the keyboard input event to the second electronic device 200.

As shown in fig. 5 (d), after the first electronic device 100 mounts the keyboard HOOK, the first electronic device 100 detects the input of the user and forwards the input data to the second electronic device 200, and the input content of the user is displayed on the display screen of the second electronic device 200 as shown by reference numeral 56.

In this way, the first electronic device 100 can hang on the keyboard HOOK after determining that the user has the intention of switching the input focus, intercept the subsequent keyboard input event and send the subsequent keyboard input event to the second electronic device 200, thereby realizing the switching of the input focus, ensuring that the input display meets the user requirement, and improving the user experience.

Also exemplary, corresponding to the scenario shown in fig. 5, as shown in fig. 6 (a), after the first electronic device 100 mounts the keyboard HOOK, the keyboard HOOK intercepts and forwards the keyboard input event to the second electronic device 200. Then content entered by the user via the keyboard of the first electronic device 100 is displayed on the second electronic device 200 as indicated by reference numeral 61. And during the user input, it is assumed that the mouse pointer 53 is moved from the display screen displayed on the second electronic device 200 as shown in (a) of fig. 6 to the display screen displayed on the first electronic device 100 as shown in (b) of fig. 6. After the movement, the second electronic device 200 hides or uninstalls the mouse pointer, and the first electronic device 100 reloads the mouse pointer, but the input focus does not switch to the first electronic device 100. As indicated by reference numeral 62, content entered by the user through the keyboard of the first electronic device 100 will still be intercepted by the keyboard HOOK and forwarded by the transmission management module as shown in fig. 4A to the second electronic device 200 for display.

Thereafter, as shown in fig. 6 (c), the first electronic device 100 detects an operation (such as clicking a mouse, touching operation, etc.) of the user on the display screen, and determines that the user needs to input display content on the display screen of the first electronic device 100, thereby turning off the event interception module shown in fig. 4A, and implementing switching of the input focus to the first electronic device 100. For example, after receiving a mouse-down event, the mouse module in the first electronic device 100 determines that the operation position is the first electronic device 100, and unloads the keyboard HOOK through the event interception module, so that the subsequent keyboard input event is not intercepted by the keyboard HOOK.

As shown in fig. 6 (d), after the first electronic device 100 unloads the keyboard HOOK, the first electronic device 100 detects the input of the user, and as shown by reference numeral 64, the first electronic device 100 directly displays the content input by the user on its own display screen. And, even if it is detected that the user moves the mouse pointer 53 to the second electronic device 200 to display during the user input, the user input content remains displayed on the display screen of the first electronic device 100.

In this way, the electronic apparatus can switch the input focus position according to the user intention. In the input display process, the input focus position can not be switched according to the movement of the mouse pointer, and the use experience of a user is improved.

In some embodiments, after the first electronic device 100 switches the input focus position, the user may still switch the display screen acted by the scroll wheel along with the movement of the display position of the mouse pointer. Thereby realizing scrolling display of display contents of other display screens in response to user operation while one display screen displays user input contents.

For example, as shown in fig. 7 (a), assuming that the first electronic device 100 starts the event interception module shown in fig. 4A, the keyboard HOOK is mounted, and the first electronic device 100 forwards the user input intercepted by the keyboard HOOK to the display screen of the second electronic device 200 for display. The first electronic device 100 detects a user's scroll operation of the mouse 51 in receiving a user input, and determines that the current mouse pointer 53 is displayed on the display screen of the first electronic device 100. Accordingly, the first electronic device 100 may determine that the user needs to scroll display the display content on the display screen of the first electronic device 100, and may control the display content of the display screen to scroll in the direction indicated by the arrow 71. In the scroll display process, as shown in fig. 7 (b), after the first electronic device 100 receives the input of the user through the keyboard, the keyboard HOOK intercepts the input event and forwards the input event to the second electronic device 200, and then the second electronic device 200 displays the content input by the user as shown by reference numeral 72.

Accordingly, assume that the first electronic device 100 uninstalls the keyboard HOOK and no longer intercepts the input event. When it is detected that the user scrolls the mouse wheel during the display of the mouse pointer by the display of the second electronic device 200, the display content of the display of the second electronic device 200 may be scrolled during the display of the user input by the first electronic device 100.

Thus, after decoupling the display position of the mouse pointer from the position of the input focus, the input focus is uniformly managed by the first electronic device 100, so as to meet the requirement that the user inputs content on one display screen while scrolling and browsing on the other display screen. In the using process, a user can not feel the input fracture of a plurality of devices, so that one system is really connected with a plurality of display screens, and other display screens are used as expansion screens.

In other scenarios, the first electronic device 100 and the second electronic device 200 establish a multi-screen collaborative connection in a windowed collaborative mode as shown in fig. 2B (B). That is, after the first electronic device 100 and the second electronic device 200 establish a connection, a display area for displaying the content transmitted by the first electronic device 100 is set on the display screen of the second electronic device 200. Also, the keyboard and mouse of the first electronic device 100 may control the second electronic device 200.

In some embodiments, after the first electronic device 100 detects that the mouse pointer moves out of the display screen or the display area where the mouse pointer is located, the position of the input focus is not switched, so as to ensure that the user can perform input on the original display screen or the original display area. After detecting the operation such as the mouse click operation and the touch operation of the user in the screen projection area, the position of the input focus is not switched, and the input focus is moved to the second electronic device 200 only after detecting the operation such as the mouse click operation and the touch operation of the user in the position outside the screen projection area of the second electronic device 200.

For example, as shown in fig. 8 (a), the first electronic device 100 is configured with a keyboard and a mouse, and the same user can use the function of the mouse of the first electronic device 100 through an external mouse and/or a touch pad. The second electronic device 200 includes a screen-throwing area 81 for displaying screen-throwing content sent by the first electronic device 100, and a display area outside the screen-throwing area 81 is used for displaying display content of the second electronic device 200. Alternatively, the content displayed on the display screen of the first electronic device 100 and the display content of the screen-throwing area 81 may be the same or different, which is not particularly limited in this embodiment of the present application. For related content of the screen projection method and the specific screen projection method, reference may be made to the prior art, and the embodiments of the present application are not repeated.

Alternatively, as shown in fig. 8 (a), the movement of the mouse pointer 82 does not affect the display of the content being input. For example, the first electronic device 100 uninstalls the keyboard HOOK, and the mouse pointer 82 moves to the display screen of the second electronic device 200 and to the display area outside the screen-throwing area 81 in the process of displaying the content input by the user on the display screen of the first electronic device 100 and/or in the screen-throwing area 81, so that the input being displayed is not affected. For another example, the first electronic device 100 mounts the keyboard HOOK, and transmits the content input by the user to the display area other than the screen-throwing area 81 of the second electronic device 200 for display, and the movement of the mouse pointer 82 to the screen-throwing area 81 or to the first electronic device 100 does not affect the user input being displayed in the display area other than the screen-throwing area 81 of the second electronic device 200.

Thereafter, as shown in fig. 8 (b), in the process of displaying the user input content by the first electronic device 100 and/or displaying the user input content in the screen-throwing area 81, as shown by reference numeral 83, after the second electronic device 200 detects a click operation (for example, a touch operation) of the user in a display area other than the screen-throwing area 81, it is determined that the user needs to input the content in the display area of the second electronic device 200, and thus, network signaling is transmitted to the first electronic device 100. After receiving the network signaling, the first electronic device 100 starts an event interception module shown in fig. 4A, and mounts the keyboard HOOK through the event interception module. Thereafter, as shown in fig. 8 (c), the first electronic device 100 detects the input of the user, the keyboard HOOK intercepts the input of the user and forwards the input of the user to the second electronic device 200, and after receiving the input of the user and processing, the second electronic device 200 displays the input of the user in a display area for displaying the content of the second electronic device 200 other than the screen-on area 81, as shown by reference numeral 84.

Alternatively, the clicking operation of the user in the display area other than the screen projection area 81 may include, for example, one or more items of content selected from a touch operation of the user, a clicking operation of a stylus, a clicking operation of a mouse, and the like. If the clicking operation is an operation of the user on the mouse, the first electronic device 100 can directly detect the position of the clicking operation of the user, and determine that the user needs to input in the display area of the second electronic device 200, then the second electronic device 200 may not need to send network signaling to the first electronic device 100, so as to save signaling consumption and improve efficiency. Alternatively, the second electronic device 200 still transmits network signaling to the first electronic device 100, guaranteeing the accuracy of the user intent determination.

Therefore, the electronic equipment can switch the input focus after determining that the user has the intention of switching the input focus, so that the input display is ensured to meet the user requirement, and the user experience is improved.

Also exemplary, corresponding to the scenario shown in fig. 8, as shown in fig. 9 (a), the first electronic device 100 mounts a keyboard HOOK, and as shown by reference numeral 91, the content input by the user through the keyboard of the first electronic device 100 is displayed on a display area other than the screen-throwing area 81 of the display screen of the second electronic device 200. And movement of the mouse pointer 82 does not change the display area in which the user input content is displayed during the user input.

Thereafter, as shown in fig. 9 b, the second electronic device 200 detects a click operation (for example, a touch operation) of the user within the screen-casting area 81, determines that the user needs to input display content within the screen-casting area, and thus, transmits network signaling to the first electronic device 100. After the first electronic device 100 receives the network signaling, the event interception module shown in fig. 4A is turned off, and the keyboard HOOK is uninstalled, so that the subsequent keyboard input event is not intercepted by the keyboard HOOK any more. Then, as shown in fig. 9 (c), after the first electronic device 100 uninstalls the keyboard HOOK, the first electronic device 100 detects the input of the user, and after processing the user input to determine the screen content, the screen content is transmitted to the second electronic device 200. As shown by reference numeral 92, the second electronic device 200, upon receiving the screen contents, displays the screen contents in the screen-casting area 81.

Optionally, in a scenario in which the display content of the display screen of the first electronic device 100 is synchronized with the display content of the screen-throwing area 81 of the second electronic device 200, corresponding to the scenario shown in fig. 9, during unloading the keyboard HOOK (that is, during displaying the user input in the display area other than the screen-throwing area 81 by the second electronic device 200), the first electronic device 100 detects a clicking operation of the user on the display screen of the first electronic device 100, and the first electronic device 100 will also mount the keyboard HOOK. Thereby realizing switching of the input focus to the first electronic device 100, and displaying the input content of the user in the display screen of the first electronic device 100 and the screen-throwing area 81 of the second electronic device 200.

In some embodiments, after the first electronic device 100 switches the input focus position, the user may still switch the active display area along with the movement of the display position of the mouse pointer when operating the mouse wheel. Thereby realizing scrolling display of display contents of other display areas in response to a user operation while displaying user input contents of one display area.

For example, in the scenario shown in fig. 8 and 9, the user is also able to scroll through the display content in one display area and enter the content in another display area. For example, as shown in fig. 10 (a), it is assumed that the first electronic device 100 mounts a keyboard HOOK. As shown by reference numeral 1001, in the process in which the screen-throwing area 81 of the second electronic apparatus 200 displays the input content of the user, the first electronic apparatus 100 detects the operation of the user to move the mouse pointer 82 to the display area other than the screen-throwing area 81 of the second electronic apparatus 200, and detects the operation of the wheel of the mouse 1002 by the user. The first electronic device 100 transmits a scroll instruction to the second electronic device 200, and the second electronic device 200 can control the display contents of the display area other than the scroll screen projection area 81 to scroll in the direction indicated by the arrow 1003 according to the scroll instruction. Then, the second electronic device 200 may scroll display contents of a display area other than the screen-casting area 81 in the process of displaying the user input contents in the screen-casting area 81.

Accordingly, as shown in fig. 10 (b), it is assumed that the first electronic device 100 unloads the keyboard HOOK. As shown by reference numeral 1004, in the process of displaying the input content of the user in the display area other than the screen-throwing area 81 of the second electronic apparatus 200, the first electronic apparatus 100 detects the operation of the user to move the mouse pointer 82 into the screen-throwing area 81 of the second electronic apparatus 200, and detects the operation of the wheel of the mouse 1002 by the user. The first electronic device 100 sends the scrolled screen content to the second electronic device 200 for display, and the second electronic device 200 can control the display content of the scrolled screen area 81 to scroll and display in the direction indicated by an arrow 1005. Then, the second electronic device 200 may scroll the display contents of the screen-casting area 81 in displaying the user input contents in the display area other than the screen-casting area 81.

In this way, after decoupling the display position of the mouse pointer from the position of the input focus, the input focus is uniformly managed by the first electronic device 100, so as to meet the requirement that the user inputs content in one display area while scrolling and browsing in another display area.

In yet other scenarios, the first electronic device 100 and the second electronic device 200 establish a multi-screen collaborative connection in a full-screen extended-screen collaborative mode as shown in fig. 2B (c). That is, after the first electronic device 100 and the second electronic device 200 establish a connection, a display area for displaying own content is set on the display screen of the second electronic device 200. Also, the keyboard and mouse of the first electronic device 100 may control the second electronic device 200.

In some embodiments, after the first electronic device 100 detects that the mouse pointer moves out of the display screen or the display area where the mouse pointer is located, the position of the input focus is not switched, so as to ensure that the user can perform input in the original display area. After detecting the operation such as the mouse click operation or the touch operation performed by the user in the display area other than the display area for displaying the content of the second electronic device 200 itself, the position of the input focus is not switched, but the input focus is moved to the second electronic device 200 only after detecting the operation such as the mouse click operation or the touch operation performed by the user in the display area of the content of the second electronic device 200 itself.

For example, as shown in fig. 11 (a), the first electronic device 100 is configured with a keyboard and a mouse, and the same user can use the function of the mouse of the first electronic device 100 through an external mouse and/or a touch pad. The second electronic device 200 includes a display area 1101 for displaying display content of the second electronic device 200 itself, and a display area other than the display area 1101 is used for displaying screen contents sent by the first electronic device 100. Alternatively, the content displayed on the display screen of the first electronic device 100 and the display content of the display area other than the display area 1101 may be the same or different, which is not particularly limited in this embodiment of the present application. For related content of the screen projection method and the specific screen projection method, reference may be made to the prior art, and the embodiments of the present application are not repeated.

Alternatively, as shown in fig. 11 (a), the movement of the mouse pointer 1102 does not affect the display of the content being input. For example, when the first electronic device 100 uninstalls the keyboard HOOK and displays the content input by the user on the display screen of the first electronic device 100 and/or in the display area other than the display area 1101 of the second electronic device 200, the mouse pointer 1102 moves into the display area 1101, and the input being displayed in the display area other than the display area 1101 is not affected. For another example, the first electronic device 100 mounts the keyboard HOOK, and transmits the content of the intercepted user input to the display area 1101 of the second electronic device 200 for display, and the movement of the mouse pointer 1102 to the display area other than the display area 1101 or to the display screen of the first electronic device 100 does not affect the user input being displayed in the display area 1101 of the second electronic device 200.

Thereafter, as shown in fig. 11 (a), in displaying user input content on the first electronic device 100 and/or in displaying user input content on a display area other than the display area 1101 of the second electronic device 200 as shown by reference numeral 1103, after the second electronic device 200 detects a click operation (for example, a touch operation) of the user in the display area 1101 as shown by reference numeral 1104, it is determined that the user needs to input in the display area 1101, and thus network signaling is transmitted to the first electronic device 100. After receiving the network signaling, the first electronic device 100 starts an event interception module shown in fig. 4A, and mounts the keyboard HOOK through the event interception module. Then, as shown in fig. 11 (b), the first electronic device 100 detects the input of the user, intercepts the input data through the keyboard HOOK and forwards the input data to the second electronic device 200, and the second electronic device 200 displays the input content of the user in the display area 1101 according to the received input data, as shown by reference numeral 1105.

Thereafter, as shown in fig. 11 b, as indicated by reference numeral 1106, the second electronic device 200 detects a click operation (for example, a touch operation) by the user on a display area other than the display area 1101, determines that the user needs to input display content on the display area other than the display area 1101, and thus, transmits network signaling to the first electronic device 100. After the first electronic device 100 receives the network signaling, the event interception module shown in fig. 4A is turned off, and the keyboard HOOK is uninstalled, so that the subsequent keyboard input event is not intercepted by the keyboard HOOK any more. Then, as shown in fig. 11 (c), after the first electronic device 100 uninstalls the keyboard HOOK, the first electronic device 100 detects the input of the user, and after processing the input data of the user to determine the screen content, the screen content is spoken to the second electronic device 200 for displaying. As indicated by reference numeral 1107, the user input content received by the first electronic device 100 is displayed in a display area other than the display area 1101 of the second electronic device 200 by means of screen projection.

Alternatively, other contents of the scene shown in fig. 11 may refer to the related contents shown in fig. 8 or fig. 9 described above. In addition, in the scenario shown in fig. 11, the user may also realize scrolling through one display area while inputting content in another display area, and the related content may refer to the related content shown in fig. 10. And will not be described in detail herein.

In this way, the input focus can be normalized between the electronic devices configured with the same or different systems, and the input can be managed by the master device. The main equipment can switch the input focus after determining that the user has the intention of switching the input focus, so that the input display is ensured to meet the user requirement, and the user experience is improved.

Fig. 12 is a schematic flow chart of an input control method according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 12, the method includes the following steps.

S1201, the first electronic device determines a first operation acting on the first display area.

In some embodiments, the first electronic device and the second electronic device establish a multi-screen collaborative connection, wherein the first electronic device acts as a master device. The multi-screen collaboration mode of the first electronic device and the second electronic device application includes: a shared collaboration mode, a windowed collaboration mode, or a full-screen extended collaboration mode.

In some embodiments, the first operation is to instruct switching of the input focus position to a first display area of the second electronic device. Alternatively, the first operation is a mouse click operation acting on the first display area, or the first operation is a touch operation acting on the first display area.

For example, in the sharing collaboration mode, the display screen of the first electronic device and the display screen of the second electronic device are displayed separately, the first display area is a display area displayed by the display screen of the second electronic device, and the second display area is an area displayed by the first electronic device. The first electronic device is configured with a mouse and a keyboard, and the first electronic device is capable of detecting a mouse click operation acting on a display screen of the second electronic device. Alternatively, the specific implementation manner of the first operation may refer to the related content shown in fig. 5, which is not described herein.

For another example, in the windowed collaboration mode, the second display area is a screen projection area of the first electronic device on the second electronic device display screen, and the first display area is a display area other than the screen projection area on the second electronic device display screen. Then, the second electronic device transmits first information to the first electronic device after detecting a touch operation acting on the first display area, and the first electronic device determines the first operation according to the first information. Alternatively, the specific implementation manner of the first operation may refer to the related content shown in fig. 8, which is not described herein.

S1202, the first electronic device intercepts a first input.

In some embodiments, the first electronic device determines to mount the keyboard HOOK after detecting a click operation of the mouse on the first display area, or after determining a touch operation acting on the first display area. The first electronic device intercepts a first input of a keyboard through a keyboard HOOK. That is, the keyboard HOOK is not mounted after the mouse pointer moves to other display areas, and the first electronic device only mounts the keyboard HOOK after determining the first operation, so as to intercept the input of the keyboard.

In this embodiment of the present application, the input module of the first electronic device is described by taking a keyboard as an example, and the keyboard may be a built-in keyboard or an external keyboard. The method for intercepting keyboard input by the first electronic device will be described by taking a keyboard HOOK method as an example. However, no matter what the names of the input module and the module for intercepting input are, whether the input module and the module for intercepting input are two modules or one module, as long as the input module and the module for intercepting input have similar functions for receiving input and intercepting input, the technical ideas of the method provided by the embodiment of the application are met, and all the technical ideas are covered in the protection scope of the application.

S1203, the first electronic device sends a first input to the second electronic device.

The first electronic device, after intercepting the first input of the keyboard, sends the first input to the second electronic device. Correspondingly, the second electronic device receives the first input sent by the first electronic device.

S1204, the second electronic device displays the first input in the first display area.

In some embodiments, the second electronic device displays the first input in the first display area after receiving the first input sent by the first electronic device.

Therefore, the first electronic device can mount the keyboard HOOK after determining that the user has the intention of switching the input focus, intercept the subsequent keyboard input event and send the subsequent keyboard input event to the second electronic device, so that the switching of the input focus is realized, the input display is ensured to meet the user requirement, and the user experience is improved.

In some embodiments, the first electronic device determines to scroll through the display content displayed in the second display area after detecting the second operation on the second display area. Optionally, the second operation is a mouse scroll wheel operation when the second display area displays the mouse pointer.

In an exemplary embodiment, in a case where the second display area is the display area of the first electronic device, the display content of the second display area is scroll-displayed. For example, the multi-screen collaboration mode of the first electronic device and the second electronic device application is a shared collaboration mode. The first electronic device detects an operation of scrolling the mouse wheel acting on the second display area of the first electronic device in the process of intercepting and transmitting the first input to the second electronic device, and scrolls and displays the display content of the second display area. Alternatively, the specific implementation manner of scrolling the display content of the second display area according to the second operation may refer to the related content shown in fig. 7, which is not described herein.

Also exemplary, in the case where the second display area is a display area for displaying the screen-cast content of the first electronic device displayed by the second electronic device, the scroll display content of the second display area is transmitted to the second electronic device. For example, the multi-screen collaborative mode applied by the first electronic device and the second electronic device is a windowed collaborative mode or a full-screen extended screen collaborative mode. After the first electronic equipment detects the second operation acting on the second display area, the first electronic equipment sends first screen throwing content to the second electronic equipment, wherein the first screen throwing content is the screen throwing content of rolling display. Alternatively, the specific implementation manner of scrolling the display content of the second display area according to the second operation may refer to the related content shown in fig. 10, which is not described herein.

In some embodiments, the first electronic device determines a third operation on the second display region for instructing to switch the input focus position to the corresponding second display region of the first electronic device. The first electronic device uninstalls the keyboard HOOK after determining the third operation, does not intercept the first input any more, and determines to display the second input in the second display area according to the second input after subsequently receiving the second input. Alternatively, the third operation is a mouse click operation acting on the second display area, or the third operation is a touch operation acting on the second display area.

The input control method provided in the embodiment of the present application is described in detail above with reference to fig. 5 to 12. The electronic device provided in the embodiment of the present application is described in detail below with reference to fig. 13 and 14.

In one possible design, fig. 13 is a schematic structural diagram of a first electronic device according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 13, the first electronic device 1300 may include: a processing unit 1301 and a transceiving unit 1302. The first electronic device 1300 may be used to implement the functions of the first electronic device 100 referred to in the above-described method embodiments.

Alternatively, the processing unit 1301 is configured to support the first electronic apparatus 1300 to execute S1201 and S1202 in fig. 12.

Optionally, the transceiver unit 1302 is configured to support the first electronic device 1300 to perform S1203 in fig. 12.

The transceiver unit may include a receiving unit and a transmitting unit, may be implemented by a transceiver or a transceiver related circuit component, and may be a transceiver or a transceiver module.

Optionally, the first electronic device 1300 shown in fig. 13 may further include a storage unit (not shown in fig. 13) in which a program or instructions are stored. When the processing unit 1301 and the transceiver unit 1302 execute the program or instructions, the first electronic apparatus 1300 shown in fig. 13 is enabled to execute the input control method described in the above method embodiment.

The technical effects of the first electronic device 1300 shown in fig. 13 may refer to the technical effects of the input control method described in the above method embodiment, and will not be described herein.

In one possible design, fig. 14 is a schematic structural diagram of a second electronic device according to an embodiment of the present application.
