This application relates to wireless transmission technologies, and in particular, to a data sending method and a mobile device.
A data sharing technology can enable a user to implement data sharing between different devices, and is widely applied. However, in an existing data sharing technology, a peripheral device is discovered based on a broadcast mechanism, and an identifier of the discovered peripheral device is displayed. After selecting a target device identifier, the user sends data to a target device. When there are a plurality of peripheral device identifiers and one interface cannot display all the identifiers, the user needs to browse the identifiers one by one for searching. In addition, when the peripheral device identifiers include a plurality of device identifiers that are the same as or similar to the target device identifier, the user needs to spend much time and energy and even needs other assistance information to locate the target device. Therefore, a data sending method needs to be provided for conveniently locating a target device.
To address the foregoing technical problem in the conventional technology, this application provides a data sending method and a mobile device for conveniently locating a target device.

A plurality of objects are displayed on a first interface of the first device. The object includes at least one of a document, a photo, a folder, a video file, an audio file, an application, and text content. The first device displays a second interface when detecting a first input for a first object in the plurality of objects. The second interface includes a mark indicating that the first object is selected and a plurality of options that include at least a sharing option. The first device displays a third interface when detecting a second input for the sharing option.

The touch sensor may transfer the detected touch operation to the application processor to determine a type of the touch event. The display 194 may provide a visual output related to the touch operation. In some other embodiments, the touch sensor 180K may alternatively be disposed on a surface of the mobile device 100 at a location different from that of the display 194.
However, in this process, when there are a plurality of peripheral device identifiers and one interface cannot display all the peripheral device identifiers, the user needs to browse the peripheral device identifiers one by one to search for a target device. This occupies a large amount of energy of the user, brings inconvenience to the user, and causes poor user experience. In addition, if the plurality of peripheral device identifiers are the same or similar, the user cannot or cannot easily accurately determine the target device from a plurality of peripheral devices with the same or similar identifiers based on only an identifier of the mobile device. For example, the peripheral devices include HUAWEI Mate 30 of A, HUAWEI Mate 30 of B, HUAWEI Mate 20 of C, HUAWEI Mate 20 of D, and HUAWEI Mate 30 of E, and the target device is HUAWEI Mate 30 of A. On the user interface shown in
Consequently, much time and energy of the user are consumed, the target device is likely to be confused, an information leakage risk is relatively high, a user operation is inconvenient, and experience is relatively poor. An embodiment of this application provides a data sending method for conveniently locating a target device, so that the target device is not likely to be confused, an information leakage risk is greatly reduced, a user operation is convenient, and experience is relatively good.
First, the first device 310, the second device 320, and the third devices 330, 340, 350, and 360 each enable the “Moment Share” function. Then, on a user interface shown in
Alternatively, the first region 401 does not display a device identifier, or displays only one device identifier, or displays a plurality of device identifiers. Preferably, the first region 401 does not display a device identifier, or displays only one device identifier. Specifically, within a specific angle range of an orientation of the first device 310, if no device exists, the first region 401 is empty and displays no device identifier, and the second region 402 displays the identifiers of the second device 320 and the third devices 330, 340, 350, and 360. For example, in
Further description is provided with reference to
The photos in “Gallery” are merely examples, and do not limit the scope of embodiments of this application. For example, a scenario in which the user 301 sends a photo may further include that the user 301 sends a photo in an application such as “Browser”. In addition, the foregoing photo is merely an example of a type of data. Other data types such as a video, audio, a document, and a compressed package that can be figured out by persons skilled in the art may be data types for sending.
As shown in
Next, after all the first device 310, the second device 320, and the third devices 330, 340, 350, and 360 enable “Moment Share”, the first device 310 publishes information in a broadcast manner through Bluetooth, and also publishes information in a directional manner through infrared. Because infrared has a directional feature, only a device that is provided with infrared and that is located within a specific angle range of an orientation of the first device 310 can receive the foregoing information published through infrared. Because all the second device 320 and the third devices 330, 340, 350, and 360 are located around the first device 310, all the second device 320 and the third devices 330, 340, 350, and 360 can receive the foregoing information published in the Bluetooth manner through Bluetooth. Therefore, the device that is provided with infrared and that is located within the specific angle range of the orientation of the first device 310 can also receive, through Bluetooth, the foregoing information published through Bluetooth. Optionally, in the second device and the third devices, if a device that is provided with infrared is located within the specific angle range of the orientation of the first device 310, the device feeds back a response signal to the first device 310 through infrared instead of feeding back a response signal to the first device 310 through Bluetooth, and another device feeds back a response signal to the first device 310 through Bluetooth. Optionally, the device may alternatively feed back a response signal to the first device 310 through Bluetooth. In other words, in some embodiments, a device may feed back a response signal to the first device 310 only through infrared. In some embodiments, a device may feed back a response signal to the first device 310 through infrared, or may feed back a response signal to the first device 310 through Bluetooth. For example, if the third device 340 that is provided with infrared is located within the specific angle range of the orientation of the first device 310, the third device 340 may feed back a response signal to the first device 310 through infrared, or may feed back a response signal to the first device 310 through Bluetooth. Correspondingly, on one interface of the first device 310, the identifier of the third device 340 may be displayed only at a first location for displaying a target device identifier such as the first region 501, and the identifier of the third device 340 is not displayed at a second location such as the second region 502; or the identifier of the third device 340 may be displayed at a first location for displaying a target device identifier such as the first region 501, or the identifier of the third device 340 is displayed at the second location such as the second region 502.
In this case, an orientation of the first device 310 is a first direction. In some embodiments, within a specific angle range of the first direction, at least one device responds to the first device 310 through infrared, and another device or all devices respond to the first device 310 through Bluetooth. Optionally, in some embodiments, within a specific angle range of the first direction, a maximum of one device responds to the first device 310 through infrared, and another device or all devices respond to the first device 310 through Bluetooth. For example, within the specific angle range of the first direction, both the third device 330 and the third device 340 receive the information published by the first device 310 through infrared, and both respond to the first device 310 through infrared. Strength of an infrared feedback signal received by the first device 310 from the third device 330 is stronger than strength of an infrared feedback signal received by the first device 310 from the third device 340. Therefore, the first region 501 displays the identifier of the third device 330.
If no device is located within the specific angle range of the first direction, and correspondingly no device responds to the first device 310 through infrared, the first region 501 displays no device identifier. If a device is located within the specific angle range of the first direction, but the device is not provided with infrared, the device does not respond to the first device 310 through infrared either. In addition, because infrared has the directional feature, there is no obstruction between the first device 310 and the second device 320 and between the first device 310 and any one of the third devices 330, 340, 350, and 360. Otherwise, even if a device is provided with infrared and is within the specific angle range of the first direction, because there is an obstruction between the first device 310 and the device, the device cannot receive the information published through infrared.
With reference to
Device identifiers are displayed on one interface of the first device 310 shown in
Then, it is determined whether the orientation of the first device 310 changes. If the orientation of the first device 310 does not change, the first device returns to the previous step shown in
Then, based on the foregoing steps, it may be further determined whether the orientation of the first device 310 changes. If the orientation of the first device 310 does not change, the first device returns to the previous step shown in
In this way, when the user 301 of the first device 310 expects to quickly send data to the third device 350, the user only needs to make the first device 310 face towards the third device 350, so that the user 301 of the first device 310 can quickly locate, by using the first region of the first device 310, the identifier of the third device 350 to which the data is expected to be sent.
Next, based on selection of the user 301 of the first device 310 for a device identifier that performs infrared responding and an operation that the user 305 of the third device 350 accepts or agrees with the selection, the first device 310 automatically sends the to-be-shared data to the third device 350 through Wi-Fi. Optionally, in a specific condition, for example, if a login account of the first device 310 is the same as a login account of the third device 350, or a login account of the first device 310 and a login account of the third device 350 correspond to a same user, or a corresponding user relationship is a family member relationship, or a corresponding user relationship is a close friend relationship, based on the touch operation performed by the user 301 of the first device 310 on the identifier of the third device 350 in the first region 505, the first device 310 automatically transmits the to-be-shared data to the third device 350 through Wi-Fi.
Then, based on the foregoing steps, it may be further determined whether the orientation of the first device 310 changes. Subsequent steps are similar to the foregoing steps. Details are not described herein again.
Optionally, a location of the first region on the first interface may not be fixed. The location of the first region changes with the orientation of the first device. However, the first region is highlighted.
Optionally, even if the location of the first region on the first interface is fixed, the first region may also be highlighted.
Optionally, the location of the first region on the first interface is not fixed, but a location of the first region relative to the second region is fixed. In other words, the first region and the second region maintain a relatively fixed location relationship.
Any one of the foregoing cases is intended to enable a maximum of one second device identifier that performs infrared responding to be quickly identified by the user of the first device on the first interface of the first device.
When no second device performs infrared responding, no identifier of the second device around the first device is displayed in the first region. In this way, the user can quickly learn that no second device performs infrared responding around the first device. In this case, the user may alternatively select an identifier of an expected second device around the first device by using the second region, to quickly send data.
Optionally, the first region and the second region may be respectively a first location and a second location.
It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, that the first device and/or the second device are/is provided with infrared means that the first device and/or the second device are/is provided with an infrared transmitter and an infrared receiver, or are/is provided with an infrared transceiver.
Optionally, the first device and the second device each may be a portable mobile device further including another function such as a personal digital assistant and/or a music player function, for example, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, or a wearable mobile device (such as a smartwatch or a smart band) having a wireless communication function. The portable mobile device may alternatively be another portable mobile device, for example, a laptop having a touch-sensitive surface or a touch panel. It should be further understood that, in some other embodiments, the mobile device may alternatively not be a portable mobile device, but a desktop computer having a touch-sensitive surface or a touch panel.
