An aspect provides a method, including: receiving a play request at a first user device, the received play request being transmitted from at least one other user device; determining if a media file is currently being played at the first user device; and responsive to determining that a media file is currently being played at the first user device, appending, at the first user device, a media file associated with the received play request to a media play queue of the first user device. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Appending playback from multiple source devices to the same media stream

The present invention relates to the field of display control processing and provides a display method and a display device. The display method includes: obtaining an object to be displayed; parsing the object to obtain corresponding information of the object; obtaining a media resource corresponding to the corresponding information based on the corresponding information; and displaying the object and presenting the media resource corresponding to the corresponding information. With the present invention, the display effect of the object can be enriched and the user's reading experience can be enhanced.

Display method and display device

An aspect provides a method, including: ascertaining, at a first device, a request to transfer media data to another device; determining, at the first device, a plurality of connected devices for potential transfer of media data corresponding to the request; providing, at the first device, a disambiguation cue to a user; ascertaining via the disambiguation cue a target device from the plurality of connected devices for transfer of the media data; and transferring the media data to the target device. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Transfer to target disambiguation

The present disclosure relates to the field of communication technology and discloses a data transmission method, a data acquiring method, and an electronic device, so as to address the existing technical problem that an operation for acquiring data through short-range transmission between two electronic devices is too cumbersome. The data transmission method is applied in a first electronic device and comprises: determining data to be transmitted; generating an access identifier for accessing the first electronic device based on the data to be transmitted and broadcasting the access identifier, the access identifier containing data identification information on the data to be transmitted; determining a second electronic device, a distance from the first electronic device to the second electronic device is not larger than a preset distance; and establishing data transmission between the first electronic device and the second electronic device based on the access identifier in such a manner that the second electronic device acquires from the first electronic device the data to be transmitted based on the data identification information.

Data transmission method, data acquiring method, and electronic device

An aspect provides a method, including: receiving at a remote device a client log in to a cloud based account issued from a client device; determining the client device is not associated with the client log in; issuing an instruction to unbind at least one client device application log in credential and bind a cloud client log in credential to the at least one client device application; and providing an instruction to unbind the cloud client log in credential from the at least one client device application in response to at least one predetermined criteria being satisfied. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Cloud based application account management

An aspect provides a method, including: sending a media query from a controller user device to a second user device; receiving media meta data at the controller user device in response to the media query of the second user device, the received media meta data comprising media meta data regarding a media file currently playing on the second user device and media meta data regarding one or more queued media files; providing at the controller user device a visual display based on the received media meta data, the visual display comprising a visual indication of the media file currently playing on the second user device and a preview of the one or more queued media files to be played on the second user device; and issuing one or more control action commands from the controller user device to the second user device. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Discovery, preview and control of media on a remote device

A method for information processing and an electronic device thereof are provided. The method includes: obtaining, in the case that a first application runs, a first control operation for the first application; during a process for establishing a group in response to the first control operation, controlling a first wireless communication module to serve as a wireless access point and naming the wireless access point with parameter information for the first group; establishing, after response information is obtained, a communication path directly connected to at least one second electronic device, the response information being response information generated in the case that the at least one second electronic device scans and selects the wireless access point; and obtaining, via the communication path, information indicating that the at least one second electronic device joins the first group.
