Background
A tablet computer is a small and portable computer, and uses a touch screen (also called a tablet technology) as a basic input device. The tablet pc has a touch screen that allows a user to work with a stylus or a digital pen rather than a conventional keyboard or mouse.
However, if specific characters need to be input into the tablet computer, the input can be performed only by built-in handwriting recognition, a soft keyboard on a screen, and the like, and the input efficiency is low.

Therefore, how to make the tablet computer reuse the input devices such as the keyboard and the mouse of the notebook computer is a technical problem that needs to be solved by the technical personnel in the field.

Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments that can be derived by one of ordinary skill in the art from the embodiments given herein are intended to be within the scope of the present invention.
First, an embodiment of the present invention provides an input data processing method, which is applied to a first terminal device (e.g., a notebook computer, etc.), where the terminal device has an input module (e.g., a keyboard, a mouse, etc.) and an external interface (e.g., an external interface of a wired transmission module, such as a USB, etc., or an external interface of a wireless transmission module, such as a bluetooth, etc.). In the embodiment of the present invention, the input module has a first state and a second state different from the first state, where the first state is a state in which the input information obtained from the input module is processed and responded by the first terminal device, and the second state is a state in which the input information obtained from the input module is processed and responded by the second terminal device (e.g., a tablet computer, etc.). That is, the first terminal device is a device with an input module such as a keyboard (the input module is a part of the first terminal device, for example, a keyboard of a notebook), and the second terminal device is usually a device without a keyboard, and the input of information is realized through a touch screen. In the embodiment of the present invention, the input module as a part of the first terminal device may also be used by the second terminal device, so that if a user has both the first terminal device and the second terminal device, the extended input to the second terminal device can be realized without separately configuring other external input devices for the second terminal device. Specific implementations are described in detail below.
Referring to fig. 1, an input data processing method provided in an embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps:
s101: obtaining the state of the input module and generating state information;
s102: when the state information shows that the input module is in the second state, if the first terminal device is in the working state, the input information is sent to the second terminal device through the external interface; and if the first terminal equipment is in a non-working state, the input information is sent to the second terminal equipment through the external interface.
That is, in the embodiment of the present invention, the input module of the first terminal device can be used by the second terminal device regardless of whether the first terminal device is in the operating state or the non-operating state. In other words, the input module has two modes corresponding to the first state and the second state of the input module, one mode is a conventional mode, and the other mode is a sharing mode. In specific implementation, it may be determined whether the input information obtained from the input module should be handed to the first terminal device for processing or handed to the second terminal device for processing by determining which state the input module is currently in. Therefore, the input module of the first terminal equipment can be used by the second terminal equipment through the invention.
Referring to fig. 2, the current state of the input module may be obtained as follows:
s201: detecting whether an external interface of a first terminal device is connected with a second terminal device (including being connected with the second terminal device in a wired mode or being successfully paired with the second terminal device in a wireless mode), generating a detection result, entering a step S202 when the detection result shows that the external interface is not connected with the second terminal device, and entering a step S203 when the detection result shows that the external interface is connected with the second terminal device.
S202: generating state information indicating that the input module is in a first state; at this time, after the input information is acquired from the input module, the input information is directly handed to the first terminal device for processing.
S203: and judging whether the first terminal device is in a working state or a non-working state currently, if the first terminal device is in the working state currently, entering the step S204, and if the first terminal device is in the non-working state currently, entering the step S205.
S204: and acquiring a state switching event, generating state information indicating that the input module is in a second state when the state switching event is detected, and then sending the input information acquired from the input module to second terminal equipment for processing through an external interface. That is, if the first terminal device is in the operating state and is connected to the second terminal device through the external interface, the input module does not directly enter the second state, but remains in the first state, and before the state switching event is detected, the input information obtained from the input module is still given to the first terminal device for processing, and until the state switching event is detected, the input module will not enter the second state.
The state switching event may include a plurality of specific events, for example, a switching entry may be provided by software, and when an operation of switching by a user is detected (for example, by clicking a certain icon, clicking a "switching" button in a pop-up dialog box, and the like), the state switching event may be considered to be generated. Alternatively, a key or a combination key may be provided in advance, and when it is detected that the key or the combination key is pressed, it may be considered that a state switching event has occurred. In addition, the shutdown operation may also be regarded as a state switching event, that is, after the first terminal device is shutdown, the first terminal device does not need to acquire the input information from the input module, so that the input module may be switched to the second state at this time, and when the input information is acquired from the input module, the input information may be transmitted to the second terminal device through the external interface.
S205: and directly generating state information indicating that the input module is in the second state, and then sending the input information obtained from the input module to the second terminal equipment for processing through the external interface. That is, if the first terminal device is in the non-operating state and is connected to the second terminal device through the external interface of the first terminal device, the first terminal device does not need to process the input information obtained from the input module, and therefore the state information indicating that the input module is in the second state can be directly generated, and the input information obtained from the input module can be transmitted to the second terminal device through the external interface.
When the input module is in the second state, if the first terminal device is in the working state, the EC may send the input information to the second terminal device through the external interface through the CPU (at this time, the EC forms a first path with the external interface through the CPU, which is equivalent to sending the input information to the second terminal device through the first path), or the EC may directly send the input information to the second terminal device through the external interface (at this time, a second path is formed between the EC and the external interface, which is equivalent to sending the input information to the second terminal device through the second path); if the first terminal device is in the non-working state, the EC sends the input information to the second terminal device through the external interface (at this time, the input information is also sent to the second terminal device through the second channel).
That is, if the first terminal device is in the working state, the EC may directly send the input information to the second terminal device through the external interface, or the EC may send the input information to the second terminal device through the external interface through the relay of the CPU; and if the first terminal device is in a non-working state, the CPU cannot run, so that the data transmission cannot be realized, and at the moment, the input information can be directly transmitted to the second terminal device through the external interface through the EC. In other words, if the EC directly sends the input information to the second terminal device through the external interface, the first terminal device can be implemented whether in the working state or the non-working state; and if the input information is transmitted to the second terminal equipment through the external interface only through the transfer of the CPU, the input information can be transmitted only when the first terminal equipment is in a working state.
It should be noted that, since the external interface is usually connected to the south bridge of the first terminal device by default, the first path exists in the conventional first terminal device; the second path does not exist in the conventional first terminal device, and therefore, the second path can be established through hardware improvement. That is, the EC may be connected to the external interface such that the EC has access to the external interface.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the CPU is also configured to send the input information in the operating state of the first terminal device, so that the CPU can send the input information to the second terminal device through the external interface as long as it is detected that the input module is currently in the second state.
For the implementation of directly transmitting the input information to the second terminal device through the external interface through the EC, first, the EC is briefly introduced for understanding. In a particular group of systems, the control devices that are added to a fixed location to accomplish a certain task are called ECs. In a computer system, an EC is an 8-bit 8051 singlechip. In the running process of the computer, the EC acquires the information input from the input module and then delivers the information to the CPU for processing; the EC itself has a processor that can process instructions and can operate even if it is not powered on (i.e., the computer is not in an operating state) as long as the computer is connected to a power supply. That is, for the first terminal device, the EC may acquire the information input from the input module and execute a specific instruction regardless of whether it is in the power-on or power-off state.
Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, after the input module is detected to be in the second state, the EC may send the input information obtained from the input module to the second terminal device through the external interface. It should be noted that, when the external interface is an interface of a wireless transmission module (e.g., bluetooth, etc.), in order to enable the EC to send the input information to the second terminal device through the bluetooth module, some hardware improvements need to be performed on the first terminal device. This is because, as described above, in the conventional computer system, the bluetooth module is connected to the south bridge, and only the CPU has the right to use the bluetooth module, and in order to enable the EC to obtain the right to use the bluetooth module, the bluetooth module needs to be connected to the EC, so that the EC can transmit the input information to the second terminal device through the bluetooth module.
Of course, in order to ensure the normal operation of the first terminal device when the input module is in the first state, the first path and the second path may coexist, that is, at the same time, the external interface is connected to both the south bridge and the EC. For example, as shown in fig. 3, 301 is a keyboard (i.e., a concrete representation of an input module), 302 is an EC, 303 is a CPU, and 304 is an external interface. It can be seen that the external interface 304 is connected to both the CPU 303 and the EC 302, and therefore, a first path 305 can be formed through the EC 302, the CPU 303 and the external interface 304, and a second path 306 can be formed through the EC 302 and the external interface 304, and these two paths can coexist.
Alternatively, in another embodiment, a switch may be added to the first terminal device, the switch is disposed between the EC and the external interface, and the switch is connected to the EC, the CPU and the external interface, respectively, and by operating the switch, the bluetooth module may be connected to the south bridge of the CPU or the EC, that is, the usage right of the external interface may be switched between the CPU and the EC.
For example, in a specific implementation, when the first terminal device is in an operating state and the input module is in a first state, when a state switching request is received through the software entry, or a specified key or a combination key is pressed, or it is detected that a user performs a power-off operation, the switch may be triggered while state information indicating that the input module is in a second state is generated (that is, the input module is switched from the first state to the second state), and the bluetooth module is connected to the EC, that is, the switch is controlled to communicate the EC with the external interface to form a third path, so that the EC obtains a right to use the bluetooth module, and sends the input information to the second terminal device through the third path. Of course, if a state switching request is received again from the software portal, or a designated key or combination key is pressed, or a power-on operation is detected to be performed on the first terminal device, the switch is triggered to connect the bluetooth module to the south bridge while generating state information indicating that the input module is in the first state (i.e., to switch the input module back to the first state), so that the CPU regains the right to use the bluetooth module. Currently, if it is detected again that the input module is switched from the first state to the second state, the control switch disconnects the fourth path and establishes the connection of the third path.
As shown in fig. 4, 401 is a keyboard, 402 is an EC, 403 is a CPU, 404 is an external interface (e.g., a bluetooth module), and 405 is a switch. When the switch 405 is switched to the EC 402, a third path 407 is formed between the EC 402 and the external interface 404, and when the switch 405 is switched to the CPU 403, a fourth path is formed between the EC 402, the CPU 403, and the external interface 404.
In other words, in the implementation manner in which the EC sends the input information to the second terminal device through the interface of the wireless transmission module, in order to avoid affecting the normal operation of the first terminal device, after the first terminal device is powered on, the input module is defaulted to be in the first state, and the wireless transmission module is also defaulted to be connected to the south bridge. When the first terminal is powered off, the wireless transmission module can be directly connected to the EC, so that the input module can be used by the second terminal device in a non-working state.
