S403 , when the first terminal detects that it has entered a screen-off state, it detects whether the first terminal is in a charging state.

S404. When detecting that the first terminal is not in a charging state, the first terminal sends test data to the second terminal with a second preset duration as a second period.

Wherein, when the first terminal is connected to a charger, that is, in a charging state, there is no need to consider the problem of power consumption. Therefore, when the first terminal detects that it has entered a screen-off state, and detects that the first terminal is not in a Only when the charging state is in the monitoring period, the monitoring period is adjusted, and the test data is sent to the second terminal with the second preset duration as the second period.
