Abstract

An image monitoring and broadcasting method is executed by a first electronic device. A user interface of the first electronic device is displayed. When a monitoring or a broadcasting command is received from the user interface, the method acquires connection information of the second electronic devices which have been connected to the server. If the monitoring command is received, the method transmits connection information of the first electronic device and a preset monitoring notice to the second electronic devices, receives images transmitted from the second electronic devices to be displayed on the user interface. If the broadcasting command is received, the method transmits a preset broadcasting notice images displayed on the first display screen to the second electronic devices.

Claims

if the monitoring command is received, transmitting connection information of the first electronic device and a preset monitoring notice to the connected second electronic devices according to the acquired connection information, receiving images displayed on a second display screen of each of the connected second electronic devices, and displaying the received images on the user interface;

or

if the broadcasting command is received, transmitting the connection information of the first electronic device and a preset broadcasting notice to the connected second electronic devices, and transmitting images displayed on the first display screen to the second display screen of the connected second electronic devices.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the user interface comprises an initial interface displaying a monitoring button and a broadcasting button, the monitoring command is determined to be received when the monitoring button is pressed, or the broadcasting command is determined to be received when the broadcasting button is pressed.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the user interface comprises a monitoring interface for displaying a plurality of identifier fields and image fields corresponding to the identifier fields, the image fields displaying the images transmitted from the connected second electronic devices, and the identifier fields being established corresponding to account names of the second electronic devices.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein the received images from the connected second electronic device are displayed on the user interface by:

searching for a matched identifier field from the identifier fields in the monitoring interface according to an acquired account name of each of the connected second electronic device;

determining a matched identifier code corresponding to the matched identifier field according to the acquired account name corresponding to the matched identifier code; and

displaying the received images in an image field corresponding to the matched identifier field according to the matched identifier code.

5. The method of claim 3, wherein the monitoring interface of the user interface further comprises an exit button, the images are stopped receiving from or transmitting to the connected second electronic devices and the user interface is exited if the exit button has been pressed.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the images displayed on the first display screen are transmitted to the connected second electronic devices using an image transmission technology according to the required identification codes of the connected second electronic devices and the wireless network.

7. A first electronic device in communication with a server and one or more second electronic devices, the first electronic device comprising:

at least one processor; and

a storage device storing one or more programs, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations of;

displaying a user interface of the first electronic device on a first display screen of the first electronic device;

acquiring connection information of connected second electronic devices that are connected with the server through a wireless network, when a monitoring command or a broadcasting command is received from the user interface, the connection information comprising an account name and an identifier code; and

if the monitoring command is received, transmitting connection information of the first electronic device and a preset monitoring notice to the connected second electronic devices according to the acquired connection information, receiving images displayed on a second display screen of each of the connected second electronic devices, and displaying the received images on the user interface;

or

if the broadcasting command is received, transmitting the connection information of the first electronic device and a preset broadcasting notice to the connected second electronic devices, and transmitting images displayed on the first display screen to the second display screen of the connected second electronic devices.

8. The first electronic device of claim 7, wherein the user interface comprises an initial interface for displaying a monitoring button and a broadcasting button, the monitoring command is determined to be received when the monitoring button is pressed, or the broadcasting command is determined to be received when the broadcasting button is pressed.

9. The first electronic device of claim 7, wherein the user interface comprises a monitoring interface for displaying a plurality of identifier fields and image fields corresponding to the identifier fields, the image fields displaying the images transmitted from the second electronic devices, and the identifier fields being established corresponding to account names of the second electronic devices.

10. The first electronic device of claim 9, wherein the received images from the connected second electronic device are displayed on the user interface by:

searching for a matched identifier field from the identifier fields in the monitoring interface according to an acquired account name of each of the connected second electronic device;

determining a matched identifier code corresponding to the matched identifier field according to the acquired account name corresponding to the matched identifier code; and

displaying the received images in an image field corresponding to the matched identifier field according to the matched identifier code.

11. The first electronic device of claim 9, wherein the monitoring interface of the user interface further comprises an exit button, the images are stopped receiving from or transmitting to the connected second electronic devices and the user interface is exited if the exit button has been pressed.

12. The first electronic device of claim 7, wherein the images displayed on the first display screen are transmitted to the connected second electronic devices using an image transmission technology according to the required identification codes of the connected second electronic devices and the wireless network.

13. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a first electronic device, the first electronic device in communication with a server and one or more second electronic devices, cause the at least one processor to perform operations of:

displaying a user interface of the first electronic device on a first display screen of the first electronic device;

acquiring connection information of connected second electronic devices that are connected with the server through a wireless network, when a monitoring command or a broadcasting command is received from the user interface, the connection information comprising an account name and an identifier code; and

if the monitoring command is received, transmitting connection information of the first electronic device and a preset monitoring notice to the connected second electronic devices according to the acquired connection information, receiving images displayed on a second display screen of each of the connected second electronic devices, and displaying the received images on the user interface;

or

if the broadcasting command is received, transmitting the connection information of the first electronic device and a preset broadcasting notice to the connected second electronic devices, and transmitting images displayed on the first display screen to the second display screen of the connected second electronic devices.
