First Claim
1. A multi-screen interaction method, comprising:
- sending, by a source device, device parameters of the source device to a target device that accesses a local area network where the source device is located;
receiving device parameters of the target device that are sent by the target device;
sending, by the source device, media information of media content that is being played by the source device to the target device when the target device is to perform multi-screen interaction;
requesting, by the target device, the media content from a network server according to the media information and the device parameters of the target device;
sending, by the network server according to the device parameters of the target device, the media content corresponding to the device parameters of the target device to the target device;
finding, by the target device according to the device parameters of the source device after the media content sent by the network server is received, a play state of the media content that is being played by the source device;
playing the media content of the target device according to the play state;
determining, by the network server, whether the target device and the source device are in a same group, and when the target device and the source device are not in the same group, setting the source device and the target device to the same group;
sending, by the target device, a request message to the network server to request that a synchronization control operation is performed for the target device and the source device by using the target device;
determining, by the network server after the request message is received, whether the target device and the source device are in the same group, whether the source device is online, and whether the media content being played by the target device is the same as that being played by the source device;
sending, by the network server, a feedback message corresponding to the request message to the target device to instruct the target device to perform the synchronization control operation for the target device and the source device when the network server determines that the target device and the source device are in the same group, that the source device is online, and that the media content being played by the target device is the same as that being played by the source device;
setting, by the network server, the target device and the source device to a connected state after the target device confirms that the synchronization control operation is to be performed; and
performing, by the target device, the synchronization control operation for the target device and the source device such that state synchronization is implemented for the media content of the target device and that of the source device, wherein the synchronization control operation comprises pausing the media content, rewinding the media content, fast-forwarding the media content, and closing the media content.
