Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS This application is a continuation of International Application No. PCT/CN2024/082270, filed on Mar. 18, 2024, which claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202310802998.6, filed on Jun. 30, 2023. The disclosures of the aforementioned applications are hereby incorporated by reference in their entireties. TECHNICAL FIELD This application relates to the field of vehicle technologies, and in particular, to a vehicle control system and method, and an electronic device. BACKGROUND As the society develops, vehicles have become an indispensable means of transportation in people's daily lives. During vehicle usage, a user may use a vehicle key to control opening or closing of a vehicle door, control startup or shutdown of an engine, and the like. As the science and technology develop, vehicle keys are also continuously upgraded. For example, the vehicle key evolves from a physical vehicle key to a digital vehicle key. When the user forgets to carry the physical vehicle key, the user may establish a communication connection between a terminal device and a vehicle, and control the vehicle by using a digital vehicle key stored in the terminal device. However, when the vehicle supports connection to only one Bluetooth® device, another device that does not establish a Bluetooth® connection to the vehicle cannot be connected to the vehicle through Bluetooth®, and therefore cannot control the vehicle by using a digital vehicle key. SUMMARY This application provides a vehicle control system and method, and an electronic device, so that when a vehicle supports connection to only one Bluetooth® device, a plurality of devices can collaboratively control the vehicle based on a digital vehicle key. This improves convenience of controlling the vehicle by the plurality of devices. According to a first aspect, this application provides a vehicle control system. The system includes a first electronic device, a second electronic device, and a first vehicle. A first communication connection is established between the first electronic device and the second electronic device. A second communication connection is established between the first electronic device and the first vehicle. The second electronic device stores a first digital vehicle key of the first vehicle, and the first electronic device stores a second digital vehicle key of the first vehicle. The second electronic device is configured to: receive and respond to a first user operation, and send a first control instruction and vehicle information of the first vehicle to the first electronic device through the first communication connection. The first control instruction indicates the first vehicle to perform a first operation. The first electronic device is configured to: receive the first control instruction and the vehicle information of the first vehicle, and determine, based on the vehicle information of the first vehicle, that the first electronic device stores the second digital vehicle key. The first electronic device is further configured to send the first control instruction to the first vehicle through the second communication connection. The first vehicle is configured to: receive the first control instruction, and perform the first operation based on the first control instruction. The vehicle information of the first vehicle is used by the first electronic device to determine whether the digital vehicle key of the first vehicle is also applied for. The second electronic device can control the first vehicle based on the digital vehicle key by using the first electronic device only when both the first electronic device and the second electronic device apply for the digital vehicle key of the first vehicle. This improves vehicle control security. Optionally, the first control instruction and the vehicle information of the first vehicle may be separately sent to the first electronic device. For example, the second electronic device first sends the vehicle information of the first vehicle to the first electronic device, and then sends the first control instruction to the first electronic device. Optionally, in some embodiments, the first control instruction sent by the first electronic device to the first vehicle needs to meet a fixed format, so that the first vehicle can correctly identify the first control instruction. Different types of control instructions have different formats. For example, a format of an unlock control instruction is different from a format of a window opening control instruction. Before sending the first control instruction to the first vehicle, the first electronic device may obtain a vehicle-to-everything specification standard for a digital vehicle key. The vehicle-to-everything specification standard for a digital vehicle key specifies formats of different types of control instructions. The first control instruction carries an instruction type. The first electronic device may obtain a first
