Abstract

The present disclosure provides a data transmission method and a first electronic device. The method comprises: displaying a sharing mark on a display unit of a first electronic device; obtaining, by a sensor unit of the first electronic device, sensing parameters which indicate an input operation of an operator; determining that an operation object of the input operation is a first object displayed on the display unit based on a first parameter from the sensing parameters; determining an operation trajectory of the input operation based on a second parameter from the sensing parameters; determining that the input operation is a sharing operation associated with the first object when the operation trajectory moves towards the sharing mark; and responding to the sharing operation.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A data transmission method, comprising:
displaying a sharing mark on a display unit of a first electronic device; obtaining, by a sensor unit of the first electronic device, sensing parameters which indicate an input operation of an operator; determining that an operation object of the input operation is a first object displayed on the display unit based on a first parameter from the sensing parameters; determining an operation trajectory of the input operation based on a second parameter from the sensing parameters; determining that the input operation is a sharing operation associated with the first object when the operation trajectory moves towards the sharing mark; and responding to the sharing operation.

2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising, subsequent to said determining the operation trajectory of the input operation based on the second parameter from the sensing parameters:
determining that the input operation is a moving operation associated with the first object when the operation trajectory does not move towards the sharing mark; and responding to the moving operation.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein said responding to the sharing operation comprises:
responding to the sharing operation based on a status of a smart application management module apparatus associated with the sharing mark.

4 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the first electronic device further comprises a communication module that enables the smart application management module apparatus to establish a communication channel with at least one second electronic device, and wherein the status of the smart application management module apparatus comprises:
a first status where the smart application management module apparatus fails to establish a communication channel with at least one second electronic device, a second status where the smart application management module apparatus has established a communication channel with one second electronic device, and/or a third status where the smart application management module apparatus has established communication channels with two or more second electronic devices.

5 . The method of claim 4 , wherein said responding to the sharing operation based on the status of the smart application management module apparatus associated with the sharing mark comprises:
controlling the first electronic device to cache the first object when the smart application management module apparatus is in the first status, controlling the first electronic device to transmit the first object to the one second electronic device via the established communication channel when the smart application management module apparatus is in the second status, and/or controlling the first electronic device to transmit the first object to the two or more second electronic devices via the established communication channels when the smart application management module apparatus is in the third status.

6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein said responding to the sharing operation based on the status of the smart application management module apparatus associated with the sharing mark comprises:
responding to the sharing operation based on the status of the smart application management module apparatus upon determining that the input operation has ended based on a third parameter from the sensing parameters.

7 . The method of claim 4 , wherein said responding to the sharing operation based on the status of the smart application management module apparatus associated with the sharing mark comprises:
displaying, upon determining that the input operation is maintained in a sharing mark area where the sharing mark is located based on a fourth parameter from the sensing parameters, a mark sub-area around the sharing mark area, the mark sub-area being used for displaying a device identifier of each second electronic device that has established a communication channel with the first electronic device; selecting a first device identifier from the device identifiers upon determining that the input operation has ended based on a fifth parameters from the sensing parameters; and controlling the first electronic device to transmit the first object to the second electronic device corresponding to the first device identifier via the respective established communication channel.

8 . A first electronic device, comprising:
a display unit configured to display a sharing mark; a sensor unit configured to obtain sensing parameters which indicate an input operation of an operator; a first determination unit configured to determine that an operation object of the input operation is a first object displayed on the display unit based on a first parameter from the sensing parameters; a second determination unit configured to determine an operation trajectory of the input operation based on a second parameter from the sensing parameters; a third determination unit configured to determine that the input operation is a sharing operation associated with the first object when the operation trajectory moves towards the sharing mark; and a first responding unit configured to respond to the sharing operation.

9 . The first electronic device of claim 8 , further comprising:
a fourth determination unit configured to determine, subsequent to determining the operation trajectory of the input operation based on the second parameter from the sensing parameters, that the input operation is a moving operation associated with the first object when the operation trajectory does not move towards the sharing mark; and a second responding unit configured to respond to the moving operation.

10 . The first electronic device of claim 8 , wherein the first responding unit is configured to:
respond to the sharing operation based on a status of a smart application management module apparatus associated with the sharing mark.

11 . The first electronic device of claim 10 , further comprising a communication module that enables the smart application management module apparatus to establish a communication channel with at least one second electronic device, and wherein the status of the smart application management module apparatus comprises:
a first status where the smart application management module apparatus fails to establish a communication channel with at least one second electronic device, a second status where the smart application management module apparatus has established a communication channel with one second electronic device, and/or a third status where the smart application management module apparatus has established communication channels with two or more second electronic devices.

12 . The first electronic device of claim 11 , wherein the first responding unit comprises:
a first control sub-unit configured to control the first electronic device to cache the first object when the smart application management module apparatus is in the first status, a second control sub-unit configured to control the first electronic device to transmit the first object to the one second electronic device via the established communication channel when the smart application management module apparatus is in the second status, and/or a third control sub-unit configured to control the first electronic device to transmit the first object to the two or more second electronic devices via the established communication channels when the smart application management module apparatus is in the third status.

13 . The first electronic device of claim 12 , wherein the first responding unit is configured to:
respond to the sharing operation ba
