Lending of local processing capability between connected terminals

An image processing method comprising:

• establishing, by a second electronic device, a short-distance connection to a first electronic device;
• receiving, by the second electronic device, a first image file sent by the first electronic device, wherein the first image file comprises a picture or a video, and wherein sending the first image file by the first electronic device is associated with a request for processing of the first image file by the second electronic device;
• displaying prompt information on a screen of the second electronic device, wherein the prompt information indicates to a user of the second electronic device that the first electronic device requests image processing;
• processing, by the second electronic device, the first image file in response to the first electronic device sending the first image file, and further in response to detecting that the user accepts a third operation requested by the first electronic device;
• obtaining processing data according to the processing of the first image file;
• and
• sending the processing data by the second electronic device to the first electronic device, wherein the processing data is associated with a second image file.

An electronic device, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more memories coupled to the one or more processors, the one or more memories storing computer program code for execution by the one or more processors, the computer program code including instructions for:
• displaying a first screen, wherein the first screen is a camera screen of the electronic device;
• detecting a first operation of a user on the first screen;
• obtaining a first image file through photographing in response to the first operation, wherein the first image file comprises a picture or a video;
• automatically sending the first image file by the electronic device to a second electronic device, wherein sending the first image file to the second electronic device is associated with a request for processing of the first image file by the second electronic device, wherein the request for processing of the first image file causes a display of prompt information on a second screen of the second electronic device, and wherein the prompt information indicates to a second user of the second electronic device that the electronic device requests image processing;
• automatically receiving processing data sent by the second electronic device, wherein the processing data is obtained by the second electronic device by processing of the first image file by the second electronic device in response to the electronic device sending the first image file to the second electronic device and according to the request for processing of the first image file, and wherein the processing data is associated with a second image file;
• detecting a second operation of the user on the first screen;
• and
• displaying the second image file in response to the second operation.
