Abstract

Disclosed are methods for equipment networking and outputting by equipment, and equipment. Equipment acquires at least one of first information indicating a state of the equipment or second information indicating a state of peer equipment. The equipment determines whether a pre-set condition is met by at least one of the first information or the second information. When the pre-set condition is met by at least one of the first information or the second information, the equipment forms a group with the peer equipment.

Claims

1. A method for outputting by equipment, comprising:

detecting, by equipment, first data characterizing a signal transmitted by wireless equipment when the wireless equipment approaches the equipment;

determining, by the equipment, whether a second pre-set condition is met by the first data characterizing the signal; and

in response to determining that the second pre-set condition is met by the first data characterizing the signal, generating, by the equipment, an output instruction, and outputting data according to the output instruction, detecting second data characterizing the signal transmitted by the wireless equipment, and determining whether a third pre-set condition is met by the second data characterizing the signal; and

in response to determining that the third pre-set condition is not met by the second data characterizing the signal, generating an end instruction, and stopping outputting the data according to the end instruction, the signal indicates a frequency of the signal, wherein the determining that the second pre-set condition is met by the first data characterizing the signal comprises;

determining that the second pre-set condition is met by the first data characterizing the signal in response to determining that a first frequency of the signal meets a pre-set frequency condition, wherein the determining that the third pre-set condition is not met by the second data determining that the third pre-set condition is not met by the second data characterizing the signal in response to determining that a second frequency of tire signal does not meet tire pre-set frequency condition.
