Abstract

A method for sharing data to a television device via cloud, includes: obtaining identification information of the television device when receiving a register request including the identification information of the television device from the television device. Sending a verification code to the television device according to a network address of the television device. Providing a verification code input interface for inputting the verification code, in response to a predetermined user operation on the electronic device. Determining whether the verification code input via the verification code input interface matches with the verification code sent to the television device. Associating identification information of the electronic device with the television device if yes. In addition, determining the television device associated with the electronic device in response to an operation to share data on the electronic device, and then transmits the data to be shared to the television device.

Claims

1. A system for sharing data via a cloud server, the system run in a running environment comprising at least one electronic device, at least one television device, and at least one cloud server connected to each other, the system comprising:

one or more processors, and

a plurality of modules which are collection of instructions executed by the one or more processors, the modules comprising;

an identification information obtaining module configured to obtain identification information of the television device when receiving a register request comprising the identification information of the television device from the television device, wherein, the identification information of the television device comprises a unique identifier and a network address of the television device;

an verification code providing module configured to send a predetermined verification code to the television device according to the network address of the television device when the identification information obtaining module receives the register request including the identification information of the television device;

an interface providing module configured to provide a verification code input interface for inputting a verification code and display the verification code input interface on a display unit of the electronic device, in response to a predetermined user operation on the electronic device;

an associating module configured to judge whether the verification code input via the verification code input interface matches with the predetermined verification code provided by the verification code providing module, when receiving the verification code input via the verification code input interface on the electronic device; and

associate identification information of the electronic device with the unique identifier of the television device; and

a share controlling module configured to determine the television device associated with the electronic device in response to an operation to share data on the electronic device, and then transmit the data to be shared to a storage unit of the determined television device.

2. The system according to claim 1, wherein the modules of the system further comprises a prompt module configured to display a prompt signal on the television device when detecting there is new data to be shared to the storage unit of the television device.

3. The system according to claim 1, wherein the associating module is further configured to display a prompt box on the electronic device already associated with the television device, in response to a joining request from another electronic device, thus to prompt the electronic device associated with the television device that whether permitting the joining request;

the associating module further associates the electronic device sending the joining request with the television device when the electronic device already associated with the television device permits the joining request.

4. The system according to claim 1, wherein the identification information of the electronic device comprises a telephone number, the associating module associates the telephone number of the electronic device with the unique identifier of the television device.

5. The system according to claim 2, wherein the identification information of the electronic device comprises a telephone number and a user head image, the associating module associates the telephone number of the electronic device and the user head image with the unique identifier of the television device, and the prompt module further displays the user head image of the electronic device sharing the data to indicate the person who shares the data when detecting there is new data to be shared to the storage unit of the television device.

6. The system according to claim 1, wherein the predetermined user operation on the electronic device is an operation to log in the cloud server via the electronic device.

7. The system according to claim 1, wherein the storage unit of the television device is a local storage device included in the television device, the share controlling module obtains the network address of the television device associated with the electronic device in response to the operation to share data on the electronic device, and transmits the data to the storage unit of the television device via the network address of the television device.

8. The system according to claim 1, wherein the storage unit of the television device is a storage space in cloud and assigned to the television device by the cloud server, the share controlling module determines the television device associated with the electronic device in response to an operation to upload the data to the cloud server, and then uploads the data to the storage unit of the television device assigned by the cloud server.

9. A method for sharing data to a television device via cloud server, comprising:

obtaining identification information of the television device when receiving a register request comprising the identification information of the television device from the television device, wherein, the identification information of the television device comprises a unique identifier and a network address of the television device;

sending a predetermined verification code to the television device according to the network address of the television device;

providing a verification code input interface for inputting the verification code and displaying the verification code input interface on a display unit of an electronic device, in response to a predetermined user operation on the electronic device;

judging whether the verification code input via the verification code input interface matches with the predetermined verification code sent to the television device, when receiving the verification code input via the verification code input interface on the electronic device;

associating identification information of the electronic device with the unique identifier of the television device if yes; and

determining the television device associated with the electronic device in response to an operation to share data on the electronic device, and then transmits the data to be shared to a storage unit of the determined television device.

10. The method according to claim 9, further comprising:

displaying a prompt signal on the television when detecting there is new data to be shared to the storage unit of the television device.

11. The method according to claim 9, further comprising:

displaying a prompt box on the electronic device already associated with the television device, in response to a joining request from another electronic device, thus to prompt the electronic device associated with the television device that whether permitting the joining request; and

associating the electronic device sending the joining request with the television device when the electronic device already associated with the television device permits the joining request.

12. The method according to claim 9, wherein the step of displaying a prompt signal on the television when detecting there is new data to be shared to the storage unit of the television device comprises:

displaying a user head image of the electronic device sharing the data to indicate the person who shares the data.

13. The method according to claim 9, wherein the step of providing a verification code input interface for inputting the verification code and displaying the verification code input interface on a display unit of an electronic device, in response to a predetermined user operation on the electronic device comprises:

providing a verification code input interface for inputting the verification code and displaying the verification code input interface on the display unit of the electronic device, in response to an operation to log in a cloud server via the electronic device.
