That is to say, the two communication devices in this embodiment can dynamically switch between the AG role and the HF role according to the current demand, which can improve the flexibility of bluetooth communication control, and can also improve the application scenario of bluetooth communication, thereby improving the satisfaction degree of user experience. For convenience of understanding, the following description will be made with reference to the communication method shown in fig. 4 as an example.

And it should be understood that the type of the first communication connection in this embodiment can be flexibly selected according to specific requirements, as long as the requirement of bidirectional data interaction between two communication devices can be satisfied. For example, in an example, the first communication connection may be a bluetooth peer-to-peer communication connection, a bluetooth peer-to-peer communication connection is established between two communication devices, and in the bluetooth peer-to-peer communication connection, there may be no role restriction between the two communication devices, and the two communication devices may also be set to have the same role. For another example, in another example, the first communication connection may be a WiFi peer-to-peer communication connection, where the two communication devices may transmit information to and receive information transmitted by the other over the WiFi peer-to-peer communication connection. As another example, the first Communication connection may be a Near Field Communication (which may include, for example and without limitation, a NFC (Near Field Communication) connection, where two Communication devices may send information to and receive information from each other over the Near Field Communication connection. As yet another example, the first Communication connection may be a zigbee Peer-to-Peer Communication connection, where two Communication devices may send information to and receive information from each other over the zigbee Peer-to-Peer Communication connection. As yet another example, the first Communication connection may be a P2P (Peer-to-Peer Communication) or D2D (Device-to-Device) Peer-to-Peer Communication connection, where two Communication devices may send information to and receive information from each other over the P2P or D2D Peer-to-Peer Communication connection. thus, the type of the first communication connection in the present embodiment can be flexibly set and is not limited to the several types of the above examples.

In an example of the present embodiment, both communication apparatuses may have an audio gateway AG function and a hands-free HF function, or one communication apparatus may have an AG function and an HF function, and the other communication apparatus may support only the AG function or the HF function. And it should be understood that the communication device in the present embodiment can be flexibly set according to a specific application scenario. For example, one of the two communication devices may be a wearable device supporting bluetooth communication, the other may be a mobile phone supporting bluetooth communication, or both may be mobile phones supporting bluetooth communication, or both may be wearable devices supporting bluetooth communication, or one may be a wearable device supporting bluetooth communication, and the other may be a vehicle-mounted terminal supporting bluetooth communication, etc. And it should be understood that the wearable device in this embodiment may also be flexibly configured according to a specific application scenario, for example, but not limited to, a smart watch, a wrist machine, and the like.

S402: one of the communication devices detects that a Bluetooth communication trigger condition is satisfied and serves as a master communication device, and sends a master-slave communication notification to the other communication device serving as a slave communication device through the first communication connection.

It should be understood that the bluetooth communication trigger condition in the present embodiment can be flexibly set according to requirements, and optionally, the bluetooth communication trigger condition can be set and/or updated by at least one of an application provider, an operator, a device manufacturer, and a user.

For example, in some examples of the present embodiment, the bluetooth communication trigger condition may include, but is not limited to, at least one of a call start, an audio application start.

For example, in some application scenarios, the bluetooth communication triggering condition may include a call initiation, which may be a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) based call, a network call, or other types of calls. For example, when one of the two bluetooth communication terminals is a wrist phone, and the wrist phone receives a call or initiates a call, (for example, a call based on an eSIM card, or a network video call, a network voice call, etc.), then a master-slave communication notification may be sent to the other communication device. In other application scenarios, the bluetooth communication trigger condition may include the start of an audio application, and the audio application in this embodiment may be all audio applications on the communication device, or may also be a designated audio application on the communication device, and for example, may include but is not limited to various voice assistants, music playing applications, video playing applications with audio channels, or various audio applications in a web page version, and the like. For example, when one of the two bluetooth communication terminals is a wrist phone, and a voice assistant (such as a small-argy robot or a siri voice robot) is started on the wrist phone, a master-slave communication notification may be sent to the other communication device.

In this embodiment, after receiving the master-slave communication notification, the other communication device can know that the bluetooth communication condition is currently triggered on the communication device of the opposite end according to the master-slave communication notification, and at this time, the communication device of the opposite end is currently used as the master communication device and is currently used as the slave communication device, so that the slave communication device can directly establish a subsequent bluetooth communication connection (i.e., a second communication connection in this embodiment) with the master communication device, and does not need to find the master communication device through bluetooth search or be found by the master communication device, so that a bluetooth search step can be directly omitted, thereby improving the bluetooth communication connection efficiency.

In this embodiment, the slave communication device serves as an HF end in the second communication connection, so that the slave communication device can complete registration of an HF role after receiving the master-slave communication notification sent by the master communication device; of course, in some examples, the slave communication device may not repeat the registration of the HF role any more if the registration of the HF role has been completed upon receiving the master-slave communication notification, the slave communication device sending the HF role registration completion notification to the master communication device over the first communication connection; in this embodiment, after receiving the master-slave communication notification sent by the master communication device, the slave communication device may indicate that it needs to establish a subsequent second communication connection with the master communication device, and at this time, after the slave communication device completes the HF role registration and before establishing the second communication connection with the master communication device, the HF function of the slave communication device may be discovered by other third-party communication devices, thereby causing an invalid communication connection to be initiated or causing the slave communication device to establish a bluetooth communication connection with other third-party communication devices, which results in various compatibility problems. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the slave communication device can set itself to the bluetooth non-searchable state upon receiving the master-slave communication notification transmitted by the master communication device and completing the HF role registration.

In addition, it should be understood that, in this embodiment, the slave communication device may adopt an active mode to set itself as the bluetooth non-searchable state, and at this time, the slave communication device may directly set itself as the bluetooth non-searchable state after receiving the master-slave communication notification sent by the master communication device, or directly set itself as the bluetooth non-searchable state after determining that the slave communication device completes HF role registration after receiving the master-slave communication notification; in some examples, the slave communication device may also adopt a passive mode to set itself to be in a bluetooth-disabled searching state, where the slave communication device may perform setting according to an instruction of the master communication device, for example, when the slave communication device acquires a search closing instruction from the master communication device side, set itself to be in the bluetooth-disabled searching state; in this embodiment, the search close instruction may be that the master communication device is carried in the master-slave communication notification and sent to the slave communication device when detecting that the bluetooth communication trigger condition is satisfied, or is sent to the slave communication device through the first communication connection through another message independent of the master-slave communication notification. In addition, it should be understood that the format of the master-slave communication notification, the content included in the master-slave communication notification, and the like in the present embodiment can be flexibly set as long as the above-described effects are achieved.

In this embodiment, the slave communication device setting that the slave communication device is in the bluetooth non-searchable state means that the slave communication device is in a state that the slave communication device cannot normally acquire the bluetooth communication capability through bluetooth search by other third-party communication devices. The realization mode can be flexible and changeable. For example, in some examples, when the slave communication device sends out (e.g. by broadcast) a discovery message containing its own capabilities (e.g. HF function and/or AG function), then the slave communication device may stop sending out the discovery message or continue sending out the transmission message, but include in the transmission message an indication that it is not currently acceptable to establish a connection or no information of its own capabilities, etc. For another example, in other examples, when the slave communication device is discovered by feeding back an acknowledgement to the other communication device after receiving the discovery message sent by the other communication device, the slave communication device may stop receiving the discovery message, or continue to receive but not feed back, or continue to receive and also continue to feed back, but the feedback may include an indication that the connection establishment is not currently accepted or does not include its own capability information in the reply message.

S403: the master communication device receives an HF role registration completion notification sent by the slave communication device over the first communication connection.

S404: respectively registering an audio gateway AG role and a hands-free HF role through a session description protocol SDP;

s405: matching roles between the master communication device and the slave communication device;

s406: establishing a second communication connection with the slave communication equipment in a matched role, wherein the second communication connection is a Bluetooth communication connection, and the second communication connection is a secondary connection established by starting the Bluetooth and the slave communication equipment again after the master communication equipment closes the first connection between the Bluetooth and the slave communication equipment and the disconnection between the Bluetooth and the slave communication equipment; one of the functions of the second communication connection is to serve as a data transmission channel between the two communication devices, which can optionally be established and/or disconnected dynamically.

S404-S406 illustrate one implementation of establishing a second communication connection, i.e. a bluetooth communication connection, between communication devices.

In this embodiment, the registration process for the primary communication device is to register the AG role and the HF role separately, that is, register through respective SDPs; specifically, the respective registration of the audio gateway AG role and the hands-free HF role of the primary communication device, each via the session description protocol SDP, may comprise:

the main communication equipment registers by writing a first UUID in the first SDP, wherein the first UUID is used for identifying the AG role supported by the main communication equipment;

the primary communication device registers by writing a second UUID in the second SDP, where the second UUID is used to identify that the primary communication device itself supports the HF role. The first UUID and the second UUID are respectively used for representing that the communication equipment supports an AG role and an HF role; in this embodiment, the primary communication device characterizes the roles supported by itself by two UUIDs, including an AG role and an HF role.

In some embodiments, determining, by the SDP, respective supported AGs and HFs of the master communication device and the slave communication device to establish a connection may include:

in this embodiment, the second communication connection is a secondary connection in which the master communication device and the slave communication device are disconnected after the primary bluetooth connection is established, and therefore, since the master communication device and the slave communication device have already established a connection before the secondary communication connection is established this time, it is not necessary to perform bluetooth search again when establishing the secondary connection, and the matching operation is performed directly.

S407: the master communication device and the slave communication device perform data interaction based on the established second communication connection, including but not limited to:

the master communication device sends the first data to the slave communication device through a second communication connection; and/or the master communication device receives second data sent from the communication device over the second communication connection.

For example, when the master communication device is a wrist phone and the wrist phone receives an incoming call, the wrist phone may send the received incoming call voice data as the first data to the current slave communication device through the second communication connection, where the slave communication device may be a mobile phone or other type of device.

It should be appreciated that in some application scenarios of the present embodiment, the master communication device may only send the first data to the slave communication device unidirectionally over the second communication connection, for example when the master communication device starts a music playing application to play music. In other application scenarios of this embodiment, the communication method further includes: the master communication device receives second data transmitted from the slave communication device over the second communication connection.

For example, when the master communication device receives an incoming call or actively initiates a call to establish the second communication connection with the slave communication device, the master communication device sends the voice data received from the opposite end of the call to the slave communication device through the second communication connection to play, and simultaneously receives the voice data of the local end user collected by the slave communication device through the second communication connection, and sends the received voice data of the local end user to the opposite end of the call. For another example, when the master communication device starts the voice assistant and establishes the second communication connection with the slave communication device, the master communication device sends the voice data sent by the voice assistant to the slave communication device through the second communication connection for playing, and simultaneously receives the voice data of the local user collected from the communication device through the second communication connection, and sends the received voice data of the local user to the voice assistant for recognition. Of course, in some examples, the master communication device may also only receive the second data sent by the slave communication device through the second communication connection, and not send the first data to the slave communication device, for example, some application scenarios that only need to acquire data from the slave communication device in one direction.

In some examples of this embodiment, after the current master communication device establishes the second communication connection with the slave communication device, the method may further include:

and when the master communication device detects that the Bluetooth communication closing condition is triggered, the second communication connection between the master communication device and the slave communication device is disconnected. And in one example, the slave communication device at this time can set itself in a bluetooth searchable state to keep it normally discovered for normal communication with other devices.

Accordingly, the bluetooth communication shutdown condition in this embodiment may include, but is not limited to, at least one of a call end and an audio application shutdown.

In some application examples of the embodiment, when the first communication connection may be a bluetooth peer-to-peer communication connection in which both communication apparatuses are AG terminals, the first communication connection is disconnected because a communication apparatus as a slave communication apparatus needs to be switched from an AG role to an HF role when the two communication apparatuses establish the second communication connection. In this application example, after the master communication device disconnects the second communication connection with the slave communication device, the method may further include:

the master communication device and the slave communication device reestablish the first communication connection; the process shown in fig. 5 may include:

s501: the communication device, which is currently the slave communication device, re-registers the AG role and optionally also can write off the HF role.

S502: the communication device which is currently used as the master communication device and the communication device which is currently used as the slave communication device establish a Bluetooth peer-to-peer communication connection, and after the connection is established, both the communication devices are AG terminals.

In S502, the current master communication device may actively transmit an AG connection to the current slave communication device, or the current slave communication device may actively transmit an AG connection to the current master communication device.

It can be seen that, in this embodiment, peer-to-peer connection may be performed between two communication devices, when one communication device needs to use an AG role as a master communication device, another bluetooth communication device may dynamically use an HF role as a slave communication device to establish bluetooth communication connection with the master communication device, and the slave communication device may be set to a bluetooth non-searchable state (in some examples, the master communication device may also be set to the bluetooth non-searchable state at this time), so as to avoid that the slave communication device is searched to support an HF function before completing establishment of a second communication connection with the master communication device, which may cause initiation of an invalid connection or a compatibility problem; in this embodiment, the roles of the two communication devices are not fixed in advance, the communication mode is more flexible and variable, and the Bluetooth communication device can be better suitable for the requirements of various Bluetooth communication scenes, so that the satisfaction degree of user experience is improved.

In this embodiment, the wrist phone and the mobile phone may respectively register an AG role based on the bluetooth communication environment, and complete a bluetooth peer-to-peer communication connection based on the registered AG role, for example, but not limited to, an rfcomm socket mode may be used for communication. When the wrist machine receives an incoming call or initiates a call, a master-slave communication notice can be sent to the mobile phone, the mobile phone performs HF role registration according to the master-slave communication notice, an AG role can be cancelled (the mobile phone can judge whether the incoming call is answered currently before the step is executed), the Bluetooth cannot be searched, then the wrist machine and the mobile phone can establish a second communication connection, the wrist machine is an AG end, the mobile phone is an HF end, and the call on the wrist machine is switched to a channel connected with the second communication to perform data interaction so as to complete the call. After the conversation is finished, the second communication connection between the wrist phone and the mobile phone can be disconnected, the mobile phone finishes the registration of the AG role again and cancels the HF role, the Bluetooth can be set to be in a searched state, the mobile phone and the wrist phone reestablish peer-to-peer communication connection, and the mobile phone returns to the initial peer-to-peer state to wait for the next trigger.

S603: the mobile phone receives the master-slave communication notification, completes the registration of the HF role, cancels the AG role, and sets the Bluetooth to be in a state that the Bluetooth cannot be searched.

S604: and after completing the HF role registration, the mobile phone sends an HF role registration completion notification to the wrist phone.

S605: the wrist machine registers the AG role and the HF role.

S606: the wrist phone sends an HF connection request to the mobile phone.

S607: after the wrist phone and the mobile phone establish the bluetooth communication connection (namely, the second communication connection), the communication module on the wrist phone detects that the bluetooth communication channel is established and switched to the bluetooth communication channel. In the process of establishing the Bluetooth communication connection, a Bluetooth searching process is not required to be initiated, and the roles between the wrist phone and the mobile phone can be directly matched.

S608: and when the call is finished, the wrist phone sends a call finishing instruction to the mobile phone.

S609: the mobile phone and the wrist machine are disconnected with each other to form a second communication connection;

s6010: the handset re-registers the AG role and optionally de-registers the HF role, setting itself to a bluetooth searchable state.
