The communication unit 140 of the protective case 100, such as bluetooth, starts scanning the electronic device whose periphery opens the wireless connection function. When the communication unit 240 of the mobile terminal 200, such as bluetooth, is turned on, a wireless network connection can be established with the protective case 100.

In step 410, the touch screen 150 of the protective case 100 generates a corresponding trigger signal in response to a touch operation performed thereon by a user. Specifically, when a user performs a touch operation on the touch screen 150 of the protective case 100 by a finger, the touch screen 150 generates a trigger signal in response to the finger being lifted in an interrupted manner.

In step 420, the processor 120 generates a key value according with the Hid protocol in response to the trigger signal, and sends a control command to the mobile terminal 200 after generating a control command according with the Hid protocol according to the key value.

In particular, the processor 120 is responsive to the trigger signal and generates a key value that conforms to the Hid protocol. The memory 130 stores a correspondence between a predetermined key value and a control instruction. The processor 120 obtains an instruction corresponding to the key value from the memory 130 according to the key value. Processor 120 generates control instructions according to the Hid protocol based on the instructions. The processor 120 controls the communication unit 140 to transmit a control instruction to the mobile terminal 200.

In step 430, the communication unit 240 of the mobile terminal 200 receives the control command.

In step 440, the processor 210 of the mobile terminal 200 responds to the control instruction and performs corresponding operations.
