The disclosure describes a device control method. A close-range communication connection between a terminal and a target device is established. A feature description of the target device is obtained through the close-range communication connection. The feature description corresponds to a function of the target device. An operation permission regarding the feature description is queried. The function is controlled by the terminal using the feature description according to the operation permission regarding the feature description.

Device control method and apparatus

An information transmitting method and device, and an information receiving method and device are provided. The information transmitting method includes: obtaining authentication information; converting the authentication information into a binary sequence; encoding the binary sequence into optical signals based on a correspondence between a binary number and an optical signal; and transmitting the optical signals to a receiving device, wherein the receiving device receives the optical signals, obtains the authentication information carried in the optical signals, and performs an information authentication based on the authentication information.

Information transmission method, information reception method and apparatus

A service terminal, which is communicatively coupled to a remote server, communicates with an offline mobile phone located nearby via a short-range wireless communication protocol to complete a service request initiated by the mobile phone. The service terminal repeatedly broadcasts, via a short-range wireless transceiver, a service message to neighboring mobile terminals until after receiving a service purchase request message from one of the mobile terminals. The service terminal then suspends the broadcast of the service message and submits the service purchase request to the remote server and then receives a purchase confirmation message from the remote server. Next, the service terminal transmits, via the short-range wireless transceiver, the purchase confirmation message back to the user terminal.

Method, user terminal, and service terminal for processing service data

Systems and methods are provided for instant messaging. For example, a first association relationship with at least one first apparatus client for instant messaging is established; and a first control instruction is transmitted to the at least one first apparatus client to trigger the at least one first apparatus client to control, according to the first control instruction, an intelligent apparatus connected to the at least one first apparatus client to execute one or more predetermined operations.

Systems and methods for instant messaging

An input device includes an input module and a fixing module matching the input module. The input module is a sphere having a cavity, the input module includes a signal detection unit and a signal output unit, the signal detection unit and the signal output unit are placed in the cavity after being electrically connected, the signal detection unit is configured to generate a corresponding input signal according to a preset operation performed by a user on the input module, and the signal output unit is connected to an external terminal and configured to output the input signal to the terminal. The fixing module is configured to fix the input device on a preset flat surface.

Input device and control system

A method and system for connecting a peripheral device to a user device via a Bluetooth protocol, comprising: at the peripheral device: initiating an broadcasting process, comprising: broadcasting a device discovery message, the device discovery message comprising a predetermined identifier designated for a social networking service associated with a social networking application executing on the user device; receiving, from the user device, a connection request corresponding to the device discovery message; and in response to receiving the connection request from the user device, establishing a Bluetooth connection to the user device.

Method and device for controlling peripheral devices via a social networking platform

A service terminal, which is communicatively coupled to a remote server, works with an offline user terminal to complete a service request initiated by a user of the user terminal. The service terminal repeatedly broadcasts a service message to neighboring user terminals until after receiving a service purchase request message wirelessly transmitted from a user terminal. The service terminal then suspends the broadcast of the service message and communicates the service purchase request to the remote server and receives a purchase confirmation message from the remote server. Next, the service terminal wirelessly transmits the purchase confirmation message back to the user terminal. From reading the purchase confirmation message, a user of the user terminal can tell whether the service purchase request has been completed successfully or not. If not, the service terminal then resumes the broadcast of the service message until after receiving another service purchase request message.

A method and device for transmitting data between a peripheral device and a user device via a Bluetooth Low Energy connection, comprising: at the peripheral device: transmitting data to the user device in a simulated data stream, the transmitting comprising: identifying a first Bluetooth characteristic for writing data, the first Bluetooth characteristic having been exposed by the peripheral device to the user device; dividing a data packet into a sequence of data frames plus zero or one remainder, each data frame having a respective size equal to a predetermined data size of the identified first Bluetooth characteristic; and for each of the sequence of data frames: writing the data frame to a respective value for the identified first Bluetooth characteristic; and pushing the identified first Bluetooth characteristic for reading by the user device.

A method and system for connecting a peripheral device to a user device via a Bluetooth protocol, comprising: at the user device: initiating a device scan process, comprising: detecting a device discovery message from the peripheral device; and determining whether the device discovery message includes a predetermined identifier designated for a social networking service associated with a social networking application executing on the user device; upon determining that the device discovery message includes the predetermined identifier designated for the social networking service associated with a social networking application executing on the user device, sending, to the peripheral device, a connection request corresponding to the device discovery message; and establishing a Bluetooth connection to the peripheral device.
