For example, the user account 1 logged in on the first terminal can be obtained, and then the other terminals that are also logged in to the user account 1 Determined as a candidate terminal. When the first terminal is connected to the wireless network, the wireless account of the wireless network may be determined, and a candidate terminal for binding with the first terminal may be determined from terminals connected to the wireless account according to user settings, connection time with the wireless account, etc., For example, obtain the wireless account W1 of the wireless network connected to the first terminal mobile phone 1, and obtain the mobile phone 2, tablet 1, and notebook computer 1 connected to the wireless account W1, and then according to the user's settings (for example, the notebook computer is not a candidate terminal) ) to further determine that mobile phone 2 and tablet 1 are candidate terminals. In this way, the detected terminals that are inoperable or inconvenient for the user can be screened out, so that the determined candidate terminals are all available and convenient for the user to operate. It should be noted that those skilled in the art may set a specific manner of determining a candidate terminal bound to the first terminal according to actual needs, which is not limited herein.

As an example of this implementation manner, the second terminal may be determined from the candidate terminals according to the positions, operating states, and user positions of the candidate terminals. In a case where there is only one determined candidate terminal, the acquired candidate terminal may be directly determined as the second terminal. In the case that there are multiple determined candidate terminals, the second terminal can be determined according to the priority levels of different candidate terminals, and the priority levels of candidate terminals can be: the candidate terminal closest to the first terminal > the candidate terminal closest to the user > Candidate terminals switched from off state to on state > Candidate terminals in on state. For example, the candidate terminals include the candidate terminal 1 closest to the first terminal and the candidate terminal 2 closest to the user, and the candidate terminal 1 can be determined as the second terminal according to the priority. The priority level may also be determined according to the setting of the user, and the setting of the priority level is not limited in the present disclosure. In this way, when the first terminal is in the target state, it can be determined that the second terminal, which is relatively convenient for the user to operate, continues to output the current output information of the first terminal for the user.

The terminal control method provided in the present disclosure obtains the current output information of the first terminal in the target state, and then controls the second terminal to output the obtained output information, so that the user can not continue to output the current output at the first terminal In the case of information, switch to the second terminal to continue to output output information. During the switching process of the terminal, the user needs to perform fewer operations and the switching time is short, and the second terminal is also easy for the user to operate, which can meet the user's needs and improve user performance. experience.

The router provides wireless network for mobile phones, tablets and laptops, and the wireless network account is WW. When the router detects that the user watches the video Q online through the mobile phone, the mobile phone is monitored. In the case that the mobile phone is detected to be in the target state, the URL and the current playing time point T of the video Q currently played by the mobile phone are acquired. If a tablet computer and a notebook computer connected to the wireless network through the wireless network account WW are detected, the tablet computer and the notebook computer are determined as candidate terminals. The distance between the tablet computer and the notebook computer and the mobile phone is determined.
