Abstract

A communication method includes sending, by a terminal device, first indication information to a first communication device. The first indication information indicates the first communication device to render first foreground content, and the first foreground content is to-be-displayed foreground content of the terminal device. The communication information also includes receiving, by the terminal device, first information from the first communication device. The first information comprises second foreground content and second background content. The second foreground content is obtained by rendering the first foreground content. The second background content is obtained by decoding third background content. The third background content is determined based on first background content. The first background content is to-be-displayed background content of the terminal device.
