Abstract

Embodiments of this application provide a pairing method and a pairing system. The pairing system includes a stylus, a wireless keyboard, and an electronic device. The stylus includes a first coil, and the wireless keyboard includes a second coil. The method includes: In response to that the wireless keyboard charges the stylus through the second coil and the first coil, the stylus sends a pairing request to the wireless keyboard through the first coil and the second coil. The wireless keyboard sends the pairing request to the electronic device. The electronic device displays a pairing dialog box based on the pairing request, where the pairing dialog box is used to prompt a user to trigger the electronic device and the stylus to perform pairing.

Claims (53)

1. A pairing method, applied to a pairing system, wherein the pairing system comprises a stylus, a wireless keyboard, and an electronic device, the stylus comprises a first coil, the wireless keyboard comprises a second coil, and the method comprises:

in response to that the wireless keyboard charges the stylus through the second coil and the first coil, sending, by the stylus, a pairing request which is transmitted through the first coil and the second coil to the wireless keyboard;

sending, by the wireless keyboard, the pairing request to the electronic device; and

displaying, by the electronic device, a pairing dialog box based on the pairing request, wherein the pairing dialog box is used to prompt a user to trigger the electronic device and the stylus to perform pairing.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein before the sending, by the stylus, the pairing request to the wireless keyboard through the first coil and the second coil, the method further comprises:

obtaining, by the stylus, a status of connection between the stylus and the electronic device; and

the sending the pairing request to the wireless keyboard comprises:

in response to that the stylus is not connected to the electronic device, sending, by the stylus, the pairing request to the wireless keyboard through the first coil and the second coil.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the obtaining, by the stylus, the status of connection between the stylus and the electronic device comprises:

detecting, by the stylus, a connection status.

4. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the obtaining, by the stylus, the status of connection between the stylus and the electronic device comprises:

detecting, by the electronic device, a connection status, and broadcasting the connection status; and

receiving, by the stylus, the connection status.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein that the wireless keyboard charges the stylus through the second coil and the first coil comprises:

charging, by the wireless keyboard, the stylus based on a wireless protocol through the second coil and the first coil; and

the sending the pairing request to the wireless keyboard comprises:

sending, by the stylus, the pairing request to the wireless keyboard based on the wireless protocol.

6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the pairing request is comprised in any data packet exchanged between the stylus and the wireless keyboard based on the wireless protocol.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the pairing request comprises a media access control MAC address of the stylus.

8. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the wireless keyboard is in a connection for wireless communication to the electronic device; and before the sending, by the wireless keyboard, the pairing request to the electronic device, the method further comprises:

parsing, by the wireless keyboard, the pairing request to obtain the MAC address of the stylus;

encapsulating the MAC address in a data packet in a format for the wireless communication; and

the sending, by the wireless keyboard, the pairing request to the electronic device comprises:

sending, by the wireless keyboard, the data packet in the format for the wireless communication to the electronic device.

9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the wireless keyboard comprises a third coil, the electronic device comprises a fourth coil, the electronic device charges the wireless keyboard through the fourth coil and the third coil, and the sending, by the wireless keyboard, the pairing request to the electronic device comprises:

sending, by the wireless keyboard, the pairing request to the electronic device through the third coil and the fourth coil.

10. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the sending the pairing request to the electronic device comprises:

sending, by the wireless keyboard, the pairing request to the electronic device based on a wireless protocol.

11. The method according to claim 10 , wherein the pairing request is comprised in any data packet exchanged between the wireless keyboard and the electronic device based on the wireless protocol.

12. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the method further comprises:

detecting, by the electronic device in response to receiving the pairing request from the wireless keyboard, whether the electronic device enables a wireless communication function; and

if the electronic device does not enable the wireless communication function, outputting, by the electronic device, a prompt dialog box, wherein the prompt dialog box is used to prompt the user to enable the wireless communication function of the electronic device.

13. A pairing system, comprising:

a stylus having a first coil;

a wireless keyboard having a second coil; and

an electronic device, wherein

in response to that the wireless keyboard charges the stylus through the second coil and the first coil, the stylus sends a pairing request which is transmitted through the first coil and the second coil to the wireless keyboard,

the wireless keyboard sends the pairing request to the electronic device, and

the electronic device displays a pairing dialog box based on the pairing request, wherein the pairing dialog box is used to prompt a user to trigger the electronic device and the stylus to perform pairing.

14. The system according to claim 13 , wherein before sending the pairing request to the wireless keyboard through the first coil and the second coil, the stylus is configured to obtain a status of connection between the stylus and the electronic device, and

wherein in response to that the stylus is not connected to the electronic device, the stylus sends the pairing request to the wireless keyboard through the first coil and the second coil.

15. The system according to claim 14 , wherein the stylus is configured to detect a connection status.

16. The system according to claim 14 , wherein in obtaining the status of connection between the stylus and the electronic device,

the electronic device is configured to detect a connection status, and broadcast the connection status, and

the stylus is configured to receive the connection status.

17. The system according to claim 13 , wherein in charging the stylus through the second coil and the first coil,

the wireless keyboard is configured to charge the stylus based on a wireless protocol through the second coil and the first coil; and

the stylus is configured to send the pairing request to the wireless keyboard based on the wireless protocol.

18. The system according to claim 17 , wherein the pairing request is comprised in any data packet exchanged between the stylus and the wireless keyboard based on the wireless protocol.

19. The system according to claim 13 , wherein the pairing request comprises a media access control (MAC) address of the stylus.

20. The system according to claim 19 , wherein the wireless keyboard is in a connection for wireless communication to the electronic device; and before sending the pairing request to the electronic device,
