Abstract
A control method, an electronic device, and a storage medium are provided. The method includes: obtaining a first screen projection instruction and determining a target display device to be projected; and switching a network to which an electronic device or the target display device is connected when the target display device and the electronic device executing the first screen projection instruction are not connected to a same network, such that output content of the electronic device is able to be display-outputted to the target display device.
Claims20
A control method, comprising:
- obtaining a first screen projection;
- in response to the obtained first screen projection instruction, displaying a device list including a plurality of display devices, wherein in the device list, network connection information of each of the plurality of display devices is displayed;
- determining, from the device list, a target display device to be projected, including:
- sorting and displaying the plurality of display devices in the device list according to at least one of:
- a last projection time when the electronic device performs projection operation on each of the plurality of display devices;
- a number of times that projection operation is performed on each of the plurality of display devices;
- a bandwidth of a network to which each of the plurality display devices is connected;
- or
- a device type of each of the plurality of display devices;
- and
- determining one of the plurality of display devices as the target display device;
- and
- in response to the electronic device being connected to a first wireless local area network (WIFI) network and the target display device being connected to a second WIFI network different from the first WIFI network, controlling the target display device to switch from being connected to the second WIFI network to being connected to the first WIFI network, such that the output content of the electronic device is able to be display-outputted to the target display device.
