Abstract

A screen locking method and apparatus include establishing, by a first electronic device, a coupling to a second electronic device, sending, by the first electronic device, to-be-displayed data to the second electronic device to enable the second electronic device to display a first interface, and in this case, the first electronic device displays a second interface different from the first interface, obtaining, by the first electronic device, a first screen locking operation from a user, where the first screen locking operation instructs to lock a screen of the second electronic device, and sending, by the first electronic device, a screen locking instruction to the second electronic device in response to the first screen locking operation whereby the second electronic device enters a screen-locked state.

Claims (61)

1. A system, comprising a first electronic device and a second electronic device, wherein the first electronic device is coupled to the second electronic device for screen projection, and wherein the system is configured to:

display, by the first electronic device;

send, by the first electronic device, data of the first interface to the second electronic device;

display, by the second electronic device, a second interface, wherein the second interface and the first interface are the same;

stop, by the first electronic device display of the first interface;

display, by the first electronic device, a third interface after stopping display of the first interface, wherein the third interface comprises an interface element related to user privacy;

display, by the second electronic device, a fourth interface, when the second electronic device entering a screen-locked state, wherein the fourth interface is a screen-locked interface;

stop, by the first electronic device, display of the third interface;

display, by the first electronic device, a fifth interface after stopping display of the third interface;

send, by the first electronic device, data of the fifth interface to the second electronic device; and

display, by the second electronic device, a sixth interface, wherein the sixth interface and the fifth interface are the same.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the second electronic device is further configured to:

receive a screen locking instruction from the first electronic device; and

enter the screen-locked state based on the screen locking instruction.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the first electronic device is further configured to:

send a screen locking instruction to the second electronic device causing the second electronic device to enter the screen-locked state in response to the screen locking instruction.

4. The system of claim 2 , wherein the screen locking instruction includes screen-locked interface data, and wherein the screen-locked interface data is used to instruct the second electronic device to display the screen-locked interface corresponding to the screen-locked interface data.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the system is further configured to cause the second electronic device to enter the screen-locked state automatically without user operation on the second electronic device.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the system is further configured to:

display, by the first electronic device, a fifth interface after the first electronic device stops displaying the third interface;

send, by the first electronic device, data of the fifth interface to the second electronic device; and

display, by the second electronic device, a sixth interface, wherein the fifth interface and the sixth interface are the same.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the fifth interface is an interface of the first application.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first interface is an interface of a first application, and wherein the third interface is an interface of a second application.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the third interface compromises at least one of: a notification message, a character, a picture, a video, or a program icon.

10. A method, comprising:

establishing, by a first electronic device, a coupling to a second electronic device for screen projection;

displaying, by the first electronic device, a first interface;

sending, by the first electronic device, data of the first interface to the second electronic device;

displaying, by the second electronic device, a second interface, wherein the second interface and the first interface are the same;

displaying, by the first electronic device, a third interface after stopping display of the first interface; and

displaying, by the second electronic device, a fourth interface, when the second electronic device enters a screen-locked state, wherein the fourth interface is a screen-locked interface.

11. The method of claim 10 , further comprising:

receiving, by the second electronic device, a screen locking instruction from the first electronic device; and

entering, by the second electronic device, the screen-locked state based on the screen locking instruction.

12. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

sending a screen locking instruction to the second electronic device causing the second electronic device to enter the screen-locked state in response to the screen locking instruction.

13. The method of claim 11 , wherein the screen locking instruction includes screen-locked interface data, and wherein the screen-locked interface data is used to instruct the second electronic device to display the screen-locked interface corresponding to the screen-locked interface data.

14. The method of claim 10 , wherein the second electronic device enters the screen-locked state automatically without user operation on the second electronic device.

15. The method of claim 10 , wherein the method further comprises:

displaying, by the first electronic device, a fifth interface after the first electronic stops displaying the third interface;

sending, by the first electronic device, data of the fifth interface to the second electronic device; and

displaying, by the second electronic device, a sixth interface, wherein the fifth interface and the sixth interface are the same.

16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the first interface is an interface of a first application, and the third interface is an interface of a second application.

17. The method of claim 10 , wherein the fifth interface is an interface of the first application.

18. The method of claim 10 , wherein the third interface compromises at least one of; a notification message, a character, a picture, a video or a program icon.

19. A first electronic device, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory coupled to the processor and configured to store programming instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the first electronic device to:

establish a coupling to a second electronic device;

display a first interface;

send data of the first interface to the second electronic device;

display a third interface after stopping display of the first interface; and

send a screen locking instruction to the second electronic device causing the second electronic device to enter a screen-locked state in response to the screen locking instruction.

20. The first electronic device of claim 19 , wherein the first electronic device is configured to:

display a fifth interface after the first electronic stops displaying the third interface; and

send data of the fifth interface to the second electronic device.

21. The first electronic device of claim 20 , wherein the fifth interface is an interface of the first application.

22. The first electronic device of claim 19 wherein the first interface is an interface of a first application, and wherein the third interface is an interface of a second application.

23. The first electronic device of claim 19 , wherein the third interface compromises at least one of: a notification message, a character, a picture, a video or a program icon.

24. The first electronic device of claim 19 , wherein the screen locking instruction includes screen-locked interface data, and wherein the screen-locked interface data is used to instruct the second electronic device to display the screen-locked interface corresponding to the screen-locked interface data.
