In an application scenario, an electronic device is taken as a mobile phone for example to describe:

and a light sensing device and an infrared LED are designed near the rear camera of the mobile phone A. Below the screen of the mobile phone B, a light sensing device and an infrared LED are designed. It will be appreciated that the term "below the screen" as used herein refers to a volume of space, not the plane of the screen display interface.

In some embodiments, handset a turns on the camera to capture handset B, which triggers the rear infrared LED of handset a to send infrared light 1 at a frequency. For example, the infrared LED is turned on every 10ms, and the light sensing device of the mobile phone B detects the frequency light and regards the frequency light as an effective signal. In some embodiments, the corresponding mobile phone may also drive the infrared LED to emit infrared light with alternating intensity and intensity.

The front light sense of the mobile phone B receives the infrared light 1, and after the infrared light 1 is analyzed and confirmed to be effective by the processor of the mobile phone B, an infrared LED under the screen emits infrared light 2.

The rear light sensing device of the mobile phone A detects the infrared light 2, and after the processor of the mobile phone A analyzes and confirms that the infrared light 2 is effective, the two mobile phones are connected.

An example application scenario is as follows:

1. the user turns on the scanning function against handset B using handset a. At this time, the mobile phone B may be in a bright screen state or a screen-off state.

2. The infrared LED near the back camera emits infrared light every 10ms before the mobile phone A opens the camera.

3. The light sensing device (of the display screen of the mobile phone B, which is close to the light sensor) detects the infrared light once every 10ms, and recognizes the infrared light as a valid signal, and then the infrared LED (of the display screen of the mobile phone B, which is close to the light sensor) emits the infrared light once every 5 ms. Meanwhile, the mobile phone B opens the two-dimension code (can be a hot spot connection two-dimension code, a WeChat two-dimension code, a friend, a ticket two-dimension code, a business card two-dimension code and the like).

4. The color temperature (namely light sensation) near the camera of the mobile phone A detects infrared light once every 5ms, namely feedback is considered to be effective, and at the moment, the mobile phone A opens the camera to start scanning codes. That is, the optical signal can be used as a corresponding control command to complete the control of the opposite terminal.

Therefore, the optical signals are utilized between the two mobile phones to realize the transmission of signals and control instructions, and a non-contact mode is adopted to realize a handshake protocol, so that the mutual operation transmission between the two subsequent mobile phones is facilitated.

In some embodiments, the user uses handset a to turn on the camera to capture phone B, which triggers the handset a rear LED to send infrared light 1 of a certain frequency characteristic.

The front light sense of the mobile phone B receives the infrared light 1, after the OK is analyzed and confirmed by the processor, fingerprint or password operation of a user is detected (for example, the finger of the right user presses on the fingerprint module during operation), and after authorization is confirmed, the infrared LED under the screen emits infrared light 2.

After the rear light sense of the mobile phone A detects the infrared light 2, the processor analyzes and confirms OK, and the two mobile phones are connected.

An example application scenario is as follows:

1. the user turns on the scanning function against handset B using handset a. At this time, the mobile phone B may be in a bright screen state or a screen-off state.

2. The infrared LED near the back camera emits infrared light every 10ms before the mobile phone A opens the camera.

3. The light sensing device (close to the light sensor) of the mobile phone B display screen detects infrared light once every 10ms and recognizes the infrared light as a valid signal, and the display screen near the fingerprint of the mobile phone B screen prompts finger pressing; or prompting entry of a passcode, authentication gesture, etc.

4. When the mobile phone B passes the fingerprint, password or gesture authentication of the user, the infrared LED (close to the optical sensor) of the display screen of the mobile phone B emits infrared light once every 5 ms. Meanwhile, the mobile phone B opens the payment two-dimensional code.

5. The color temperature (namely light sensation) near the camera of the mobile phone A detects infrared light once every 5ms, namely feedback is considered to be effective, and at the moment, the mobile phone A opens the camera to start scanning codes.

In any of the embodiments, the manner in which the electronic device of the active initiator sends the optical signal may use the camera to shoot another mobile phone, or may be triggered by a key on the electronic device or by touching the display screen. Only the optical signal sent by the electronic equipment of the active initiator can be received by the light sensing device of the passive receiver.

In any of the above embodiments, the use of a front-end or rear-end light sensing device between two electronic devices is not limited, e.g., both electronic devices use a front-end, both use a rear-end, or one rear-end and one front-end, as well as the function may be implemented.

And the mentioned infrared LED, a rear-mounted, front-mounted flash of the phone can also be used, but since the flash is visible light.

In an application scenario, the mobile phone a needs to be connected with a wireless hotspot, and if the mobile phone B has a wireless hotspot connection, the mobile phone a can be used for scanning a hotspot two-dimensional code provided by the mobile phone B. However, in this process, the scanning function of the mobile phone a needs to be turned on, and multiple operations are performed on the mobile phone B, so that the mobile phone B enters the interface corresponding to the hot spot, displays the hot spot two-dimensional code, and then scans the mobile phone a. In the process, the user needs to perform complicated operation on the mobile phone A and the mobile phone B to realize wireless hotspot connection of the mobile phone A.

Based on the above, by using the method provided by the application, the mobile phone a sends the first optical signal to the mobile phone B, so that the mobile phone B recognizes the optical signal, and when the recognition optical signal is valid, the display interface is switched to display the hot spot two-dimensional code, and sends the second optical signal. And the mobile phone A recognizes that the second optical signal is effective, and opens the camera to scan the hot spot two-dimensional code. In the process, the optical signal can be used for completing information transmission, so that the operation on the mobile phone is reduced.
