  • Publication number: 20230316846
    Abstract: The method includes: after obtaining an image of a to-be-operated device by using a target application, the electronic device may send the image of the to-be-operated device to a server corresponding to the target application. Then, the server may obtain an operation model of the to-be-operated device based on the image of the to-be-operated device, and the server sends the operation model of the to-be-operated device to the electronic device. Next, the electronic device may display a user operation interface corresponding to the operation model, and the user may perform an operation on the user operation interface. The electronic device sends an operation event corresponding to the second operation of the user to the server, and the server processes the operation event corresponding to the second operation.
