Abstract

Claims (59)

1. A synchronization method, executed by a first electronic device, the method comprising:

when the first electronic device is in communication connection with a second electronic device and a first application runs on the second electronic device but not on the first electronic device, mirroring a running interface of the first application as it is running on the second electronic device

on a display interface of the first electronic device;

starting to run the first application on the first electronic device itself in a background running state;

after the first application is running on the first electronic device in the background running state, receiving target application data of the first application sent by the second electronic device;

synchronizing the target application data to the first application running on the first electronic device in the background running state; and

displaying the first application that runs on the first electronic device itself on the display interface of the first electronic device to replace the mirrored running interface of the first application running on the second electronic device.

2. The synchronization method according to claim 1 , wherein mirroring the running interface of the first application as it is running on the second electronic device on the display interface of the first electronic device further comprises:

displaying the mirrored running interface on a virtual screen of the first electronic device.

3. The synchronization method according to claim 2 , wherein after displaying the first application that runs on the first electronic device itself on the display interface of the first electronic device, the method further comprises:

turning off the virtual screen.

4. The synchronization method according to claim 1 , wherein after the synchronizing the target application data to the first application running on the first electronic device, the method further comprises:

interrupting the communication connection between the first electronic device and the second electronic device.

5. The synchronization method according to claim 1 , wherein after mirroring the running interface of the first application, the method further comprises:

displaying the mirrored running interface on a virtual screen of the first electronic device; and

before the first application of the first electronic device is started, when a user operation for the first application is performed on the virtual screen, the first electronic device feeds back data of the user operation to the second electronic device, and the second electronic device performs an operation on the first application according to the data of the user operation.

6. A synchronization method, executed by a second electronic device, the method comprising:

when the second electronic device is in communication connection with a first electronic device and a first application runs on the second electronic device but not on the first electronic device, sending a running interface of the first application to the first electronic device for mirroring the running interface of the first application as it is running on the second electronic device on a display interface of the first electronic device; and

after the first application is running on the first electronic device in the background running state, sending target application data of the first application to the first electronic device,

wherein:

the target application data is synchronized to the first application running on the first electronic device in the background running state, and

the first application that runs on the first electronic device itself displays on the display interface of the first electronic device to replace the mirrored running interface of the first application running on the second electronic device.

7. The synchronization method according to claim 6 , wherein after the sending target application data of the first application to the first electronic device, the method further comprises:

interrupting the communication connection between the second electronic device and the first electronic device; and

in a case that the communication connection between the second electronic device and the first electronic device is interrupted, stopping sending the running interface of the first application and shutting down the first application.

8. An electronic device, wherein the electronic device is a first electronic device and comprises:

a memory storing instructions; and

at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to execute the instructions, wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:

when the first electronic device is in communication connection with a second electronic device and a first application runs on the second electronic device but not on the first electronic device, mirroring a running interface of the first application as it is running on the second electronic device

on a display interface of the first electronic device;

starting to run the first application on the first electronic device itself in a background running state;

after the first application is running on the first electronic device in the background running state, receiving target application data of the first application sent by the second electronic device;

synchronizing the target application data to the first application running on the first electronic device in the background running state; and

displaying the first application that runs on the first electronic device itself on the display interface of the first electronic device to replace the mirrored running interface of the first application running on the second electronic device.

9. The electronic device according to claim 8 , wherein mirroring the running interface of the first application as it is running on the second electronic device on the display interface of the first electronic device further comprises:

displaying the mirrored running interface on a virtual screen of the first electronic device.

10. The electronic device according to claim 9 , wherein after displaying the first application that runs on the first electronic device itself on the display interface of the first electronic device, the operations further comprise:

turning off the virtual screen.

11. The electronic device according to claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise:

interrupting the communication connection between the first electronic device and the second electronic device.

12. The electronic device according to claim 8 , wherein after mirroring the running interface of the first application, the operations further comprise:

displaying the mirrored running interface on a virtual screen of the first electronic device; and

before the first application of the first electronic device is started, when a user operation for the first application is performed on the virtual screen, the first electronic device feeds back data of the user operation to the second electronic device, and the second electronic device performs an operation on the first application according to the data of the user operation.

13. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a synchronization method, the method comprising:

when a first electronic device is in communication connection with a second electronic device and a first application runs on the second electronic device but not on the first electronic device, mirroring a running interface of the first application as it is running on the second electronic device

on a display interface of the first electronic device;

starting to run the first application on the first electronic device itself in a background running state;

after the first application is running on the first electronic device in the background running state, receiving target application data of the first application sent by the second electronic device;

synchronizing the target application data to the first application running on the first electronic device in the background running state; and

displaying the first application that runs on the first electronic device itself on the display interface of the first electronic device to replace the mirrored running interface of the first application running on the second electronic device.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 13 , wherein mirroring the running interface of the first application as it is running on the second electronic device on the display interface of the first electronic device further comprises:
