FIG. 3 is a flowchart of a method for controlling a terminal according to an exemplary embodiment, and this embodiment will expand the description of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 . As shown in Figure 3, the method includes the following steps.

In step 301, the second terminal collects process information of the currently running process, and sends the process information to the cloud server.

In order for the user to view and control the currently running process of the second terminal on the first terminal through the cloud server, the second terminal may collect process information of the currently running process and send the process information to the cloud server.

In a possible embodiment, the second terminal may actively collect the process information of the currently running process, and may also passively collect the process information of the currently running process. When the second terminal passively collects the process information of the currently running process, the second terminal may receive the first process acquisition instruction sent by the cloud server, and then collect the process information of the currently running process under the trigger of the first process acquisition instruction. Wherein, the first process collection instruction is used to instruct the second terminal to collect process information of the currently running process.

It should be noted that the collected process information may include a process identifier, the time when the process starts to run, and the duration that the process has run by the time of collection. For example, the process currently running on the second terminal is game process 1, the logo of game process 1 is game 1, the time to start running game process 1 is 10:00, and the collection time for collecting process information of game process 1 is 10:30. Then the game process 1 has been running for 30 minutes as of the collection time. Therefore, the process information collected for game process 1 is game 1, the time when the process started running is 10:00, and the running time is 30 minutes. Certainly, the process information may also include other information of the process, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present disclosure.

In addition, after collecting the process information of the currently running process, the second terminal may send the process information to the cloud server.

It should be noted that after collecting the progress information of the currently running process, the second terminal can determine whether the second terminal is logged in to the cloud server, and when it is determined that the second terminal is logged in to the cloud server, send the process information to the cloud server.

In another possible embodiment, in addition to collecting process information of a currently running process, the second terminal may also collect process information of a running process at a specified time before the current time. In this case, the second terminal can store the process information of the running process in real time, and when the second terminal collects the process information, it can obtain the stored process information of the running process.

It should be noted that the second terminal may actively collect process information of a process running at a specified time before the current time, or passively collect process information of a process running at a specified time before the current time. When the second terminal passively collects the process information of the running process at the specified time before the current time, the second terminal can receive the second process collection instruction sent by the cloud server, and then, under the trigger of the second process collection instruction, collect the process information specified before the current time. Process information of the running process at all times. Wherein, the second process collection instruction may carry a first designated time at which the running process needs to be collected, and the second process collection instruction is used to instruct the second terminal to collect process information of the running process at the first designated time.

It should be noted that, in another possible embodiment, the collected process information may include a process identifier, the time when the running process is started, and the time when the running process is terminated. For example, the current time is 10:00, the second terminal needs to collect the process information of the running process whose first specified time is 9:00, the process running at 9:00 is game process 1, and the identifier of game process 1 is game 1, and start The time to run game process 1 is 8:30, and the time to end running game process 1 is 9:10. Therefore, the process information collected for the game process 1 is the game 1, the time to start the running process is 8:30, and the time to end the running of the game process 1 is 9:10. Certainly, the process information may also include other information of the process, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present disclosure.

In addition, after collecting the process information of the running process at the specified time before the current time, the second terminal may send the process information to the cloud server.

It should be noted that, after collecting the process information of the running process at the specified time before the current time, the second terminal can determine whether the second terminal is logged in to the cloud server, and when it is determined that the second terminal is logged in to the cloud server, send the process to the cloud server. information.

In step 302, the first terminal sends a process information acquisition request to the cloud server, where the process information acquisition request carries the terminal identifier of the second terminal associated with the first terminal.

When the parent wants to view and control the process information of the running process of the child's second terminal, the first terminal can send a process information acquisition request to the cloud server, and the process information acquisition request can carry the second terminal associated with the first terminal. terminal ID.

In a possible embodiment, the process information acquisition request sent by the first terminal to the cloud server is used to acquire the process information of the currently running process of the second terminal. Therefore, in this case, the process information acquisition request may also Including obtaining the indication information of the current running process of the second terminal.

In another possible embodiment, the process information acquisition request sent by the first terminal to the cloud server may also be used to acquire process information of the process running at a specified time before the current time of the second terminal. Therefore, in this case, The process information acquisition request may include acquiring indication information of the running process of the second terminal at the first specified time. For example, the current time is 10:00, and the process information acquisition request sent by the first terminal to the cloud server is for acquiring the process information of the running process of the second terminal at 9:00.

It should be noted that the first terminal may first determine whether the first terminal is logged in to the cloud server, and when it is determined that the first terminal is logged in to the cloud server, send a process information acquisition request to the cloud server.

In addition, before sending the process information acquisition request to the cloud server, the first terminal may also associate with the first terminal through the cloud server and set a password for the second terminal to log out of the cloud server. Optionally, the first terminal may send an association request to the cloud server, where the association request carries the second identification of the second terminal, the exit password, and the first identification corresponding to the first terminal, and the cloud server receives the information sent by the first terminal. When the process information acquisition request is made, the process information acquisition request can be parsed to obtain the second identification of the second terminal, the exit password and the first identification corresponding to the first terminal, and then the first terminal and the second terminal are associated, and the exit password is set. It is the password for the second terminal to log out and log in to the cloud server.

It should be noted that, in order to ensure that parents can view and control the running process of the second terminal at any time through the first terminal, parents can set the password of the second terminal to log out of the cloud server through the first terminal, and send the process information to the cloud server to obtain the password. When requesting, carry the password in the request. In this way, only when the child knows the password, the second terminal can be controlled to log out of the cloud server through the password, otherwise, the second terminal will always be in the state of logging in to the cloud server, and the parent can view and control it at any time through the first terminal. The process running on the second terminal.

In another possible embodiment, in order to ensure that the parent can view and control the running process of the second terminal at any time through the first terminal, in addition to setting the password for logging out of the cloud server for the second terminal, it can also set a password corresponding to the cloud server for the second terminal. An APP (Application, application program) is set to use a password, and the APP is installed in the first terminal and the second terminal. Optionally, the association request sent by the first terminal to the cloud server may carry the second identification of the second terminal, the password used, and the first identification corresponding to the first terminal. Therefore, when the cloud server associates the first terminal with the second terminal , the usage password can be set as the usage password of the APP installed on the second terminal. Since the first terminal and the second terminal are both in the state of logging into the cloud server when the first terminal is associated with the second terminal through the cloud server, when the APP of the second terminal runs in the background, when the child uses the APP again, Then you need to use the password to control the APP. If the child does not know the password, the APP will always be in the open state, that is, the second terminal is always in the state of logging in to the cloud server. The terminal can view and control the processes running on the second terminal at any time.

In step 303, the first terminal receives the process information of the current running process of the second terminal returned by the cloud server, and generates a control instruction for the target process in the currently running process according to the process information.

When the first terminal generates a control instruction for the target process in the current running process according to the process information, it can select the target process from the current running process according to the process information, and display the control interface corresponding to the target process. At least one operation button is included, and then a control instruction corresponding to the selected operation button is generated.

It should be noted that the second terminal may currently run multiple different processes, and the control interfaces corresponding to different processes may be different. Therefore, when the parent selects the target process from the currently running processes according to the process information, the target process can be displayed. The corresponding control interface includes at least one operation button. The at least one operation button may include an exit button, a disable button, and a permission setting button. Of course, the control interface may also include other information, for example, information about the location where the second terminal is running the target process, information about the power level of the second terminal when the second terminal is running the target process, and the like.

Further, the first terminal may generate different control instructions according to different operation buttons in the control interface corresponding to the displayed target process.
