Device control method and electronic device

A device control method, wherein the method comprises:

• establishing, by a second electronic device, a connection to a first electronic device;
• and
• sending, by the second electronic device, first information to the first electronic device, wherein the first information comprises related information of the second electronic device and/or related information of a first application and/or a first function on the second electronic device, wherein
• the first information is for generating a control interface, and the control interface can be for controlling the second electronic device,
• wherein N icons are displayed on the second electronic device, and each icon of the N icons corresponds to a corresponding application and/or function;
• identifiers are respectively displayed on M icons in the N icons, and the identifiers are for prompting that applications and/or functions corresponding to the M icons support the distributed transfer service, wherein N and M are positive integers, and N is greater than or equal to M:
• the first application and/or the first function are/is an application and/or a function corresponding to a first icon in the M icons;
• and
• that the application and/or the function support/supports the distributed transfer service comprises:
• the application and/or the function can transfer the interface of the application and/or the function to the another device.

A first electronic device, comprising:

• a processor, a memory, and one or more programs, wherein
• the one or more programs are stored in the memory, the one or more programs comprise instructions, and when the instructions are executed by the processor, the first electronic device is enabled to
• establish a connection to a second electronic device in response to a preset gesture operation;
• receive first information sent by the second electronic device, wherein the first information comprises related information of the second electronic device and/or related information of a first application and/or a first function on the second electronic device;
• and
• display a control interface based on the first information, wherein the control interface is for controlling the second electronic device,
• wherein the first electronic device being enabled to establish the connection to the second electronic device in response to the preset gesture operation includes the first electronic device being enabled to:
• determine the second electronic device from a surrounding device in response to the preset gesture operation, and establish the connection to the second electronic device, wherein
• the second electronic device satisfies at least one of the following conditions:
• the second electronic device supports a distributed transfer service, the second electronic device is a trusted device of the first electronic device, the second electronic device is located within a preset orientation range of the first electronic device, a distance between the second electronic device and the first electronic device falls within a preset distance range, and the second electronic device is specified by the user;
• and
• that the second electronic device supports a distributed transfer service includes that the second electronic device can transfer an application or an application interface, or a function or a function interface on the second electronic device to another electronic device.

A second electronic device, comprising:

• a processor, a memory, and one or more programs, wherein
• the one or more programs are stored in the memory, the one or more programs comprise instructions, and when the instructions are executed by the processor, the second electronic device is enabled to:
• establish a connection to a first electronic device;
• and
• send first information to the first electronic device, wherein the first information comprises related information of the second electronic device and/or related information of a first application and/or a first function on the second electronic device, wherein
• the first information is for generating a control interface, and the control interface can be for controlling the second electronic device,
• wherein N icons are displayed on the second electronic device, and each icon of the N icons corresponds to a corresponding application and/or function;
• identifiers are respectively displayed on M icons in the N icons, and the identifiers are for prompting that applications and/or functions corresponding to the M icons support the distributed transfer service, wherein N and M are positive integers, and N is greater than or equal to M;
• the first application and/or the first function are/is an application and/or a function corresponding to a first icon in the M icons;
• and
• that the application and/or the function support/supports the distributed transfer service comprises:
• the application and/or the function can transfer the interface of the application and/or the function to the another device.
