Abstract

An information transmitting method and an electronic device using the method are described. The method includes establishing a communication connection with an electronic device; projecting a to-be-transmitted object information into a display screen of the electronic device; transmitting the to-be-transmitted object information to the electronic device to make the electronic device display the to-be-transmitted object information in the display screen. The first electronic device includes a connecting unit, a projecting unit and a transmitting unit. The second electronic device includes a connecting unit, a receiving unit and a display unit. As a result, transmission of the to-be-transmitted object information between devices based on projection achieves a seamless operational experience combining an actual condition and a virtual condition, and the projecting mode is simple and convenient and intuitive and highly effective, which improves features of real-time and ease of use of the transmitted object.

Claims

1. An information transmitting method comprising:

establishing a communication connection with an electronic device;

selecting a to-be-transmitted object that is a file;

projecting an image of the to-be-transmitted object into a display screen of the electronic device; and

transmitting data of the to-be-transmitted object to the electronic device;

stopping projecting of the image of the to-be-transmitted object after transmitting the data of the to-be-transmitted object to the electronic device to make the electronic device actually display the image of the to-be-transmitted object in the display screen based on the data of the to-be-transmitted object,

wherein the transmitting the data of the to-be-transmitted object to the electronic device to make the electronic device display the image of the to-be-transmitted object in the display screen comprises;

acquiring a projection display parameter of the image of the to-be-transmitted object and collecting a display effect on the display screen of the electronic device;

transmitting the data of the to-be-transmitted object, the projection display parameter of the to-be-transmitted object, and the display effect to the electronic device, to make the electronic device display the image of the to-be-transmitted object with the display effect in a specified region on the display screen according to the projection display parameter.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the acquiring the projection display parameter of the image of the to-be-transmitted object information comprises acquiring a screenshot of a projection picture of the image of the to-be-transmitted object as the projection display parameter of the to-be-transmitted object.

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein the projecting the image of the to-be-transmitted object into the display screen of the electronic device comprises:

adjusting a size of the image of the to-be-transmitted object on a local display screen according to a local operation instruction;

projecting the image of the to-be-transmitted object displayed on the local display screen after the adjusting size of the image of the to-be-transmitted object into a specified region on the display screen of the electronic device; and

wherein the acquiring the projection display parameter of the to-be-transmitted object comprises acquiring a screenshot of a projection picture of to-be-transmitted object displayed on the local display screen after the adjusting the size of the image of the to-be-transmitted object as the projection display parameter of the image of the to-be-transmitted object.

4. The method according to claim 1, wherein the collecting the display effect on the display screen of the electronic device comprises intercepting a picture of the display screen of the electronic device to obtain the display effect on the display screen of the electronic device.

5. The method according to claim 1, wherein the collecting the information of the electronic device comprises collecting a picture of the electronic device or scanning a two-dimensional code on the electronic device.

11. The method according to claim 1, wherein, establishing the communication connection with the electronic device comprises:

collecting information of the electronic device;

searching correspondence relationship between the information of the electronic device and address established in advance to obtain an address corresponding to the information of the electronic device collected; and

establishing the communication connection with the electronic device according to the address.

6. A first electronic device comprising:

a connection unit for establishing a communication connection with a second electronic device;

a selecting unit for selecting a to-be-transmitted object that is a file;

a projecting unit for projecting an image of the to-be-transmitted object into a display screen of the second electronic device; and

a transmitting unit for transmitting data of the to-be-transmitted object to the second electronic device,

wherein the projecting unit stops projecting the image of the to-be-transmitted object after the transmitting unit has transmitted the data of the to-be-transmitted object to the second electronic device to make the second electronic device actually display the image of the to-be-transmitted object in the display screen based on the data of the to-be-transmitted object,

wherein the transmitting unit comprises;

an acquiring module for acquiring a projection display parameter of the image of the to-be-transmitted object and collecting a display effect on the display screen of the second electronic device; and

a transmitting module for transmitting the data of the to-be-transmitted object, the projection display parameter of the to-be-transmitted object and the display effect to the second electronic device, to make the second electronic device display the image of the to-be-transmitted object with the display effect in a specified region on the display screen according to the projection display parameter.

7. The first electronic device according to claim 6, wherein the acquiring module acquires a screenshot of a projection picture of the to-be-transmitted object as the projection display parameter of the to-be-transmitted object.

8. The first electronic device according to claim 6, wherein, the projecting unit comprises:

an adjusting module for adjusting size of the image of the to-be-transmitted object on a local display screen according to a local operation instruction; and

a projecting module for projecting the image of the to-be-transmitted object displayed on the local display screen after the adjusting of the size of the image of the to-be-transmitted object into a specified region on the display screen of the second electronic device;

wherein the acquiring module acquires a screenshot of a projection picture of to-be-transmitted object displayed on the local display screen after the adjusting of the size of the image of the to-be-transmitted object as the projection display parameter of the to-be-transmitted object.

9. The first electronic device according to claim 6, wherein the acquiring module intercepts a picture of the display screen of the second electronic device to obtain the display effect on the display screen of the second electronic device.

10. The first electronic device according to claim 6, wherein the collecting module collects a picture of the second electronic device or scans a two-dimensional code on the second electronic device.

12. The first electronic device according to claim 6, wherein, the connecting unit comprises:

a collecting module for collecting information of the second electronic device;

a search module for searching correspondence relationship between the information of the second electronic device and address established in advance to obtain an address corresponding to the information of the second electronic device collected;

a connecting module for establishing the communication connection with the second electronic device according to the address.
