Abstract
A control method includes, after establishing a first connection with a content source provider, controlling a wireless projection module of an electronic apparatus to switch from a first state to a second state to display a first content that is input by the content source provider to a display screen of the electronic apparatus. Power consumption of the wireless projection module in the first state is lower than power consumption of the wireless projection module in the second state.
Claims17
A control method, comprising:
- after establishing a first connection with a content source provider, controlling a wireless projection module of an electronic apparatus to switch from a first state to a second state, wherein power consumption of the wireless projection module in the first state is lower than power consumption of the wireless projection module in the second state;
- controlling an operation state of the electronic apparatus to display a first content that is input by the content source provider to a display screen, including:
- in response to a state of the display screen of the electronic apparatus being a black screen state, controlling the display screen of the electronic apparatus to switch from the black screen state to a bright screen state;
- and
- in response to the state of the display screen of the electronic apparatus being the bright screen state:
- in response to a type of the electronic apparatus being a monitor, controlling the display screen of the electronic apparatus to display the first content from the content source provider only;
- and
- in response to the type of the electronic apparatus being an all-in-one (AIO) computer, controlling the display screen of the electronic apparatus to simultaneously display a second content from the electronic apparatus and the first content from the content source provider with a split-screen state;
- and
- after disconnecting the first connection from the content source provider, controlling the wireless projection module to switch from the second state to the first state.

A control device, comprising:
- a memory storing computer program instructions;
- and a processor coupled to the memory and configured to execute the computer program instructions to:
- after establishing a first connection with a content source provider, control a wireless projection module of an electronic apparatus to switch from a first state to a second state, wherein power consumption of the electronic apparatus in the first state is lower than power consumption of the electronic apparatus in the second state;
- control an operation state of the electronic apparatus to display a first content that is input by the content source provider to a display screen, including:
- in response to a state of the display screen of the electronic apparatus being a black screen state, controlling the display screen of the electronic apparatus to switch from the black screen state to a bright screen state;
- and
- in response to the state of the display screen of the electronic apparatus being the bright screen state:
- in response to a type of the electronic apparatus being a monitor, controlling the display screen of the electronic apparatus to display the first content from the content source provider only;
- and
- in response to the type of the electronic apparatus being an all-in-one (AIO) computer, controlling the display screen of the electronic apparatus to simultaneously display a second content from the electronic apparatus and the first content from the content source provider with a split-screen state;
- and
- after disconnecting the first connection from the content source provider, control the wireless projection module to switch from the second state to the first state.
