Abstract

A headset theme adaptation method is provided to automatically obtain related information such as a device model and a device identifier of a headset case protective cover through multi-end linkage between a mobile phone, a headset, the headset case protective cover, and a cloud server (for example, a server of a cloud theme market). A headset theme adapted to the protective cover is downloaded and applied based on the related information, to implement personalized experience of headset theme adaptation.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An accessory theme adaptation method, applied to a wireless communications system, wherein the wireless communications system comprises a first electronic device and a first accessory device, and the method comprises:
displaying, by the first electronic device, a first interface element in response to the first electronic device detecting that the first electronic device is in a first usage scenario,
wherein the first interface element is an interface element in a first accessory theme, the first accessory theme comprises at least one interface element, and the first accessory device does not wear an appearance part or wears a first appearance part; and

displaying, by the first electronic device, a second interface element in response to the first electronic device detecting that the first accessory device wears a second appearance part and the first electronic device is in the first usage scenario,
wherein the second appearance part is different from the first appearance part, the second interface element is an interface element in a second accessory theme, the second accessory theme comprises at least one interface element, the second interface element is different from the first interface element, and the second interface element corresponds to the second appearance part, and
wherein the first usage scenario comprises at least one of:
a usage scenario in which the first electronic device establishes a communication connection to the first accessory device; and
a usage scenario in which a user views a device status of the first accessory device after the communication connection is established.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein before displaying the second interface element, the method further comprises:
receiving, by the first electronic device, indication information of the second appearance part; and
obtaining, by the first electronic device, the second accessory theme in response to the first electronic device receiving the indication information of the second appearance part.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein obtaining, the second accessory theme comprises:
obtaining, by the first electronic device, the second accessory theme from a cloud server by using the received indication information of the second appearance part; or
obtaining, by the first electronic device by using the received indication information of the second appearance part, the second accessory theme from an accessory theme stored in the first electronic device.

4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the accessory theme stored in the first electronic device comprises at least one of the following:
an accessory theme downloaded by the first electronic device from the cloud server,
an accessory theme that is shared by a second electronic device and that is received by the first electronic device,
an accessory theme searched for and downloaded by the first electronic device on a network based on an image shot by a camera, or
an accessory theme generated by the first electronic device based on the image shot by the camera.

5. The method according to claim 2 , wherein receiving the indication information of the second appearance part comprises:
receiving, by the first electronic device, indication information that is of the second appearance part and that is sent by the first accessory device,
wherein the indication information is obtained by the first accessory device from the second appearance part based on the first accessory device detecting that the first accessory device wears the second appearance part; or

receiving, by the first electronic device, indication information that is of the second appearance part and that is sent by the second appearance part,
wherein the indication information is sent by the second appearance part to the first electronic device based on the second appearance part detecting that the first accessory device wears the second appearance part.

6. The method according to claim 2 , wherein after obtaining the second accessory theme, and before displaying the second interface element, the method further comprises:
replacing, by the first electronic device, the first accessory theme with the second accessory theme, including:
replacing, by the first electronic device, an image resource referenced by an interface element in the first accessory theme with an image resource reference by an interface element in the second accessory theme; and
replacing, by the first electronic device, an audio resource referenced by an alert tone in the first accessory theme with an audio resource referenced by an alert tone in the secondary accessory theme.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein that the first electronic device detects that the first accessory device wears the second appearance part comprises:
receiving, by the first electronic device, first event information sent by the first accessory device,
wherein the first event information indicates that the first accessory device wears the second appearance part, and the first event information is sent by the first accessory device based on the first accessory device detecting that the first accessory device wears the second appearance part; or

receiving, by the first electronic device, second event information sent by the second appearance part, wherein the second event information indicates that the first accessory device wears the second appearance part, and the second event information is sent by the second appearance part based on the second appearance part detecting that the first accessory device wears the second appearance part.

8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first accessory device comprises a headset, and the first usage scenario further comprises the following usage scenario: selecting an audio output channel during a call.

9. The method according claim 1 , wherein the second appearance part comprises a headset case or a headset case protective cover.

10. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the indication information of the second appearance part comprises one or more of the following: device identification information of the second appearance part, theme identification information of an accessory theme adapted to the second appearance part, and appearance description information of the second appearance part.

11. A wireless communications system comprising a first electronic device and a first accessory device, wherein
the first electronic device displays a first interface element in response to the first electronic device detecting that the first electronic device is in a first usage scenario,
wherein the first interface element is an interface element in a first accessory theme, the first accessory theme comprises at least one interface element, and the first accessory device does not wear an appearance part or wears a first appearance part; and

the first electronic device displays a second interface element in response to the first electronic device detecting that the first accessory device wears a second appearance part and the first electronic device is in the first usage scenario,
wherein the second appearance part is different from the first appearance part, the second interface element is an interface element in a second accessory theme, the second accessory theme comprises at least one interface element, the second interface element is different from the first interface element, and the second interface element corresponds to the second appearance part, and
wherein the first usage scenario comprises at least one of:
a usage scenario in which the first electronic device establishes a communication connection to the first access
