Abstract

The present disclosure provides a data processing method and an electronic device. The data processing method comprises: establishing, by a first transceiver of a first electronic device, a first wireless connection with a second electronic device; positioning the second electronic device based on the first wireless connection, so as to obtain position information of the second electronic device; adjusting a transmission parameter of a second transceiver of the first electronic device to transmit a second wireless signal, so that the second transceiver transmits the second wireless signal to the second electronic device in a predetermined way; and establishing a second wireless connection with the second electronic device by the first electronic device based on the second wireless signal, a type of the second wireless connection being different from that of the first wireless connection.

Claims

1. A data processing method applied to a first electronic device, comprising:

establishing, by a first transceiver of the first electronic device, a first wireless connection with a second electronic device;

positioning the second electronic device based on the first wireless connection, so as to obtain position information of the second electronic device;

adjusting transmission parameters of the second transceiver of the first electronic device to transmit a second wireless signal based on the position information of the second electronic device, so that the second transceiver transmits the second wireless signal to the second electronic device in a predetermined way; and

establishing a second wireless connection with the second electronic device by the first electronic device based on the second wireless signal, a type of the second wireless connection being different from that of the first wireless connection.

2. The data processing method of claim 1, wherein the adjusting the transmission parameters of the second transceiver of the first electronic device to transmit the second wireless signal based on the position information of the second electronic device so that the second transceiver transmits the second wireless signal to the second electronic device in the predetermined way, comprises:

adjusting a transmission power and a transmission direction of the second wireless signal transmitted by the second transceiver of the first electronic device based on the position information of the second electronic device, so that the second wireless signal propagates along an azimuth angle of the second electronic device relative to the first electronic device, and covers the second electronic device.

3. The data processing method of claim 1, wherein a maximum transmission power of the first transceiver is less than that of the second transceiver;

and

a signal transmitting and/or receiving mechanism of the first transceiver is different from that of the second transceiver.

4. The data processing method of claim 1, wherein the establishing, by the first transceiver of the first electronic device, the first wireless connection with the second electronic device comprises:

authenticating an identity of the second electronic device after the first transceiver detects an access request transmitted by the second electronic device, and establishing the first wireless connection after the identity of the second electronic device is authenticated;

or

transmitting identification information of the first electronic device to the second electronic device after the first transceiver detects an access request transmitted by the second electronic device, wherein the second electronic device authenticates an identity of the first electronic device based on the identification information of the first electronic device, and establishes the first wireless connection after the identity of the first electronic device is authenticated.

5. The data processing method of claim 4, wherein after the first wireless connection is established, the method further comprises:

authenticating, by the first electronic device, the identity of the second electronic device for the second wireless connection based on the first wireless connection; and

adjusting the transmission parameters of the second transceiver to transmit the second wireless signal after the identity of the second electronic device is authenticated, so that the second transceiver transmits the second wireless signal to the second electronic device in the predetermined way.

6. An electronic device, comprising a first transceiver, a positioning unit, an adjusting unit and a second transceiver, wherein

the first transceiver is configured to transmit and/or receive a first wireless signal, and to establish a first wireless connection with a second electronic device based on the first wireless signal;

the positioning unit is configured to position the second electronic device based on the first wireless connection, so as to obtain position information of the second electronic device;

the adjusting unit is configured to adjust transmission parameters of the second transceiver to transmit a second wireless signal based on the position information of the second electronic device, so that the second transceiver transmits the second wireless signal to the second electronic device in a predetermined way; and

the second transceiver is configured to transmit the second wireless signal, and establish a second wireless connection with the second electronic device based on the second wireless signal, a type of the second wireless connection being different from that of the first wireless connection.

7. The electronic device of claim 6, wherein the adjusting unit is further configured to adjust a transmission power and a transmission direction of the second wireless signal transmitted by the second transceiver based on the position information of the second electronic device, so that the second wireless signal propagates along an azimuth angle of the second electronic device relative to the electronic device, and covers the second electronic device.

8. The electronic device of claim 6, wherein a maximum transmission power of the first transceiver is less than that of the second transceiver;

and

a signal transmitting and/or receiving mechanism of the first transceiver is different from that of the second transceiver.

9. The electronic device of claim 6, wherein the first transceiver is further configured to authenticate an identity of the second electronic device after detecting an access request transmitted by the second electronic device, and to establish the first wireless connection after the identity of the second electronic device is authenticated;

or

the first transceiver is further configured to transmit identification information of the electronic device to the second electronic device after detecting an access request transmitted by the second electronic device, wherein the second electronic device authenticates an identity of the electronic device based on the identification information of the electronic device, and establishes the first wireless connection after the identity of the electronic device is authenticated.

10. The electronic device of claim 9, wherein the electronic device further comprises:

an authentication unit, configured to authenticate the identity of the second electronic device for the second wireless connection based on the first wireless connection; and

to trigger the adjusting unit to adjust the transmission parameters of the second transceiver to transmit the second wireless signal after the identity of the second electronic device is authenticated, so that the second transceiver transmits the second wireless signal to the second electronic device in the predetermined way.
