Abstract

This application is applicable to the field of device interaction technologies and provides an information sharing method and apparatus, a terminal device and a storage medium. The method includes: The method includes: when detecting a trigger gesture performed by a user on an interface element in a current display interface of a terminal device, determining whether the interface element is a shareable object; if the interface element is an unshareable object, determining a shareable target object associated with the interface element; and sharing the target object with a specified target device. This application can effectively improves information sharing efficiency between devices.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An information sharing method, applied to a terminal device, wherein the method comprises:
when detecting a trigger gesture performed by a user on an interface element in a display interface of the terminal device, determining whether the interface element is a shareable object;
if the interface element is an unshareable object, determining a shareable target object associated with the interface element, wherein the determining of the shareable target object comprises:
determining a background program that is running and that is associated with the interface element, and
obtaining the target object from the background program; and
sharing the target object with a target device.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the determining a background program that is running and that is associated with the interface element comprises:
determining a system resource controlled by the interface element;
searching for the background program that is running and that occupies the system resource; and
determining the background program as the background program associated with the interface element.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein after the interface element triggered by the trigger gesture performed on the display interface of the terminal device is determined, the method further comprises:
if the interface element is a shareable object, sharing the interface element with the target device.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein when the interface element is a volume slider and the background program associated with the volume slider is a media player, the obtaining the target object from the background program comprises:
obtaining a media file that is being played by the media player; and
determining the obtained media file as the target object.

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the sharing the target object with a target device comprises:
when detecting a screen projection operation, sending the media file to the target device in response to the screen projection operation, so that the target device displays and plays the media file.

6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein after the interface element triggered by the trigger gesture performed on the display interface of the terminal device is determined, the method further comprises:
if the interface element is a shareable object, sharing the interface element with the target device.

7. The method according to claim 4 , wherein after the interface element triggered by the trigger gesture performed on the display interface of the terminal device is determined, the method further comprises:
if the interface element is a shareable object, sharing the interface element with the target device.

8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the determining a shareable target object associated with the interface element comprises:
obtaining a function service associated with the interface element; and
determining a permission of the function service as the target object.

9. The method according to claim 8 , wherein when the interface element is a switch of a wireless network, the sharing the target object with a target device comprises:
obtaining a shared whitelist of the wireless network to which the terminal device is connected; and
adding the target device to the shared whitelist of the wireless network, so that the target device can be connected to the wireless network without password.

10. The method according to claim 8 , wherein after the interface element triggered by the trigger gesture performed on the display interface of the terminal device is determined, the method further comprises:
if the interface element is a shareable object, sharing the interface element with the target device.

11. The method according to claim 1 , wherein before the sharing the target object with a target device, the method further comprises:
obtaining location information of the terminal device and location information of all devices within a preset range around the terminal device;
displaying the location information of the terminal device and the location information of all the devices in the display interface of the terminal device; and
selecting the target device from all the devices according to an inputted device selection instruction.

12. The method according to claim 11 , wherein after the interface element triggered by the trigger gesture performed on the display interface of the terminal device is determined, the method further comprises:
if the interface element is a shareable object, sharing the interface element with the target device.

13. The method according to claim 1 , wherein after the interface element triggered by the trigger gesture performed on the display interface of the terminal device is determined, the method further comprises:
if the interface element is a shareable object, sharing the interface element with the target device.

14. A terminal device, comprising a memory, a processor, and a computer program that is stored in the memory and that can be run on the processor, wherein when the processor executes the computer program, the terminal device implements the information sharing method according to claim 1 .

15. A computer-readable storage medium, storing a computer program, wherein when the computer program is executed, the information sharing method according to claim 1 is implemented.
