Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some, not all, embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of an implementation environment provided by an embodiment of the present invention, where the implementation environment includes: terminal 101, device 102, and server 103. The terminal 101 and the device 102 support communication connection, a management application is installed on the terminal 101 in advance, and the terminal 101 establishes communication connection with the device 102 based on the management application. The server 103 may be a background server for the management application. The communication connection may be a bluetooth connection, a Wi-Fi (Wireless-Fidelity) connection, etc., and the bluetooth connection is only used as an example for description below.

When a user needs to establish a bluetooth connection with a target type device, the user triggers a connection instruction of the terminal 101 in the management application, and when the terminal 101 starts a bluetooth connection function based on the connection instruction, the terminal starts to scan a plurality of devices 102 in the surrounding environment, the bluetooth connection function of which is started, and meanwhile, the terminal 101 automatically screens out target devices from the devices 102 based on a target device identification list and establishes a communication connection with the target devices.

The target device identifier list is used to store device identifiers of multiple devices of the target type, when the communication connection between the terminal 101 and the target device is successfully established, the terminal 101 may send the device identifier of the target device to the server 103, the server 103 is used to store and maintain the target device identifier list, and the server 103 updates the target device identifier list in real time based on the device identifiers sent by the respective terminals. The terminal 101 may periodically download and store the target device identification list from the server 103.

The target device may be any device that supports bluetooth connection and meets the user's requirements, such as a bluetooth handle, a bluetooth headset, a bluetooth speaker, etc., and fig. 1 only shows one possible case, for example, a bluetooth handle. The terminal 101 and the target device establish a communication connection, and information interaction between the terminal 101 and the target device is realized through the communication connection.

Fig. 2 is a flowchart of a device connection method according to an embodiment of the present invention. The execution subject of the embodiment of the present invention is a terminal, and referring to fig. 2, the method includes:

201. when receiving the connection instruction, the terminal acquires the device identifiers of the plurality of first candidate devices.

Wherein the connection instruction is for instructing to establish a communication connection with a device of a target type among the plurality of first candidate devices. In the embodiment of the invention, the user can trigger the connection instruction of the terminal based on the management application. The management application may be used to manage communication connections with the target type of device. When the management application is started, the terminal may display a connection button on a display interface. When the terminal detects that the connection button is triggered, the terminal may receive the connection instruction, start the bluetooth connection function of the terminal, start scanning devices in the surrounding environment, which have started the bluetooth connection function, use multiple devices, which have started the bluetooth connection function, as multiple first candidate devices, and obtain device identifiers of the multiple first candidate devices. Wherein the connection button is used to indicate a target type of a target device to be connected.

The device identifier may be a name of the device, or the device identifier may further include information such as the model, the manufacturer, and the date of manufacture. The device type refers to a kind of device, and the device type may include: various devices such as bluetooth handle, bluetooth headset, cell-phone, bluetooth speaker. The device identifications of multiple devices of the same device type may be different, for example, bluetooth handles manufactured by different manufacturers may be different in name and model.

As shown in fig. 3, the target device may be a bluetooth handle, and the management application may be a game application, and the game application may manage communication connection between the terminal and the bluetooth handle by calling a bluetooth connection function of the terminal. The terminal can display a 'click connection handle' button on a display interface, and a user can trigger the terminal to acquire a connection instruction by clicking the 'click connection handle' button. The terminal can also display a manual pairing button and an automatic pairing button at the lower part, when the user clicks the automatic pairing button, the terminal starts to scan nearby equipment and automatically establishes communication connection with the target equipment through subsequent steps.

As shown in fig. 4, when the terminal receives the connection instruction, the terminal may display a tutorial page and start connection, and when the connection fails, re-enter the connected state to re-connect, and when the target device that is successfully connected is cancelled by the user, the terminal also re-enter the connected state to re-connect until the connection is successful, and then the connection is ended. For example, as shown in fig. 3, the terminal may prompt the connection process in the tutorial page as follows: and the terminal opens the mobile phone Bluetooth currently, scans nearby equipment, finds a Bluetooth handle in a scanned Bluetooth equipment list and connects the Bluetooth handle with the Bluetooth equipment list.

When the terminal starts the bluetooth connection function, the terminal may start to search for a plurality of devices in the surrounding environment, the bluetooth connection function of which has been started, by calling a start Discovery interface. As shown in fig. 5, when the device with the bluetooth connection function turned on is not searched, the search is repeated until a plurality of first candidate devices in the surrounding environment are searched.

In a possible implementation, a plurality of connection buttons may be correspondingly configured in the management application, and each connection button corresponds to one type. When the management application is opened, the terminal may display a plurality of connection buttons on a display interface. When any connection button is triggered, the terminal receives a connection instruction, wherein the connection instruction is used for indicating that communication connection is established between the devices of the type corresponding to the triggered connection button. The terminal acquires a target type corresponding to the triggered connection button, and starts scanning to obtain the device identifiers of the first candidate devices.

202. The terminal acquires a target equipment identification list, wherein the target equipment identification list comprises a plurality of equipment identifications of equipment belonging to the target type.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the terminal may obtain the target device identifier list from a storage space of the terminal or a server. The server may obtain device identifiers of a plurality of devices belonging to the target type in advance, and create and store the target device identifier list based on the device identifiers. When the terminal receives the connection instruction, the terminal sends an acquisition request to the server, and the server returns the target device identification list to the terminal based on the acquisition request. Or, the terminal may also obtain and store the target device identifier list from the server in advance, and when receiving the connection instruction, the terminal obtains the target device identifier list from a storage space of the terminal.

The server may update the target device identifier list based on the device identifiers received in real time from the plurality of terminals and based on the device identifiers received in real time. The terminal can acquire the target equipment identification list from the server every preset period, and update the target equipment identification list stored in the terminal according to the newly acquired target equipment identification list.

In a possible implementation, when a plurality of connection buttons are configured in the management application, the terminal may also manage communication connections between the terminal and a plurality of types of devices based on the management application. The terminal can store mapping relations between a plurality of types and a plurality of equipment identification lists, and the terminal can acquire a target equipment identification list corresponding to a target type from the mapping relations between the types and the equipment identification lists according to the target type corresponding to the currently triggered connection button.

In this embodiment of the present invention, the management application may be a device for managing communication connection between the terminal and the peripheral device of the terminal, and the terminal may further perform a preliminary screening on the plurality of first candidate devices through the following step 203, so as to further narrow the screening range of the target device, and screen out the target device through the following step 204. The peripheral device is a hardware device such as an input device or an output device connected to the terminal. Such as a bluetooth handle, bluetooth keyboard, mouse, printer, etc.

In a possible implementation manner, the management application may further manage communication connection between the terminal and other devices except the peripheral device, before the screening, the terminal may first determine whether a target type device to be connected is a peripheral device, and when the target type device is the peripheral device, the terminal performs a step of screening a plurality of peripheral devices from the plurality of first candidate devices, that is, the following step 203, and then screens the target device based on the step 204. When the target type device is not a peripheral device, the terminal may directly perform a step of screening out the target device from the plurality of first candidate devices according to the target device identification list.

203. The terminal screens out a plurality of peripheral devices from the plurality of first candidate devices.

In this embodiment of the present invention, the terminal may determine whether the plurality of first candidate devices are peripheral devices according to the device identifiers of the plurality of first candidate devices. The terminal can store the device identifiers of the plurality of peripheral devices, judge whether the device identifier of the first candidate device is matched with the device identifier of any peripheral device in the plurality of peripheral devices for each first candidate device according to the stored device identifiers of the plurality of peripheral devices, and determine the candidate device as the peripheral device when the device identifier of the first candidate device is matched with the device identifier of any peripheral device.

As shown in fig. 6, the device identifier may include a factory identifier of the device, including information such as a name and a model of the device, and the terminal may determine, according to the factory identifier, that the bluetooth handle for the racing game, the bluetooth handle for the fighting game, and the keyboard are peripheral devices, and other devices, such as a millet mobile phone and a millet box, belong to terminal devices such as a phone and a computer, but not to peripheral devices.

204. And the terminal screens out the target equipment belonging to the target type from the plurality of peripheral equipment according to the target equipment identification list.

In this step, the target device identifier list includes device identifiers of multiple target types of devices, and the terminal may identify the multiple peripheral devices according to the multiple device identifiers in the target device identifier list and the device identifiers of the multiple peripheral devices, so as to identify a target device of a target type in the multiple peripheral devices.

Wherein the target device identification list includes device identifications of a plurality of devices allowed to connect and/or device identifications of a plurality of devices prohibited to connect. When the list includes the list of the device identifiers of the multiple devices allowing connection and the device identifiers of the multiple devices prohibiting connection, the terminal may indicate the connection state of the device corresponding to each device identifier through the indication information: connection is allowed or disabled. The indication information may be the connection permission tag, the connection prohibition tag, the list position of the device identifier or the label corresponding to the device identifier. For example, for each device identifier in the target device identifier list, when the terminal stores the device identifier, the terminal correspondingly stores a tag corresponding to the device identifier, where the connection permission tag may be denoted by 1 and the connection prohibition tag may be denoted by 0. Or, the terminal may further set the line 1-300 in the target device identification list to store the device identification of the device allowing connection, and the line 301-600 to store the device identification of the device prohibiting connection. In addition, the target device identifier list may include two sub-lists, and the device identifiers corresponding to different connection states are separately stored through the two sub-lists, where the two sub-lists are respectively: a sub-list comprising device identifications of a plurality of devices to which connection is allowed and a sub-list comprising device identifications of a plurality of devices to which connection is prohibited, thereby distinguishing device identifications corresponding to different connection states.

Accordingly, this step can be implemented in the following two ways.

In a first manner, when the target device identifier list includes device identifiers of multiple devices allowed to be connected, the terminal determines, according to the multiple devices allowed to be connected and the multiple peripheral devices, a device in the multiple peripheral devices that matches the device identifiers of the multiple devices allowed to be connected as the target device.

In this step, the terminal may determine, for each peripheral device, whether the device identifier of the peripheral device matches the device identifiers of any of the plurality of devices allowed to be connected, according to the device identifier of the device allowed to be connected and the device identifiers of the plurality of peripheral devices, and when the device identifier of the peripheral device matches the device identifiers of any of the plurality of devices allowed to be connected, determine the peripheral device as a target device of a target type.

When a plurality of target types of devices are matched, the terminal may preferentially select a device arranged at the front as the target device according to a preset sequence. The preset sequence may be a sequence from near to far from the terminal, a sequence from large to small of the historical connection times of the terminal, and the like. The embodiment of the present invention is not particularly limited to this. The target device of the target type refers to any device of the same kind as the kind indicated by the target type, for example, the kind indicated by the target type may be a device of a bluetooth handle, as shown in fig. 6, the target device may be a bluetooth handle for a racing game or a bluetooth handle for a fighting game, etc.

In a second manner, when the target device identifier list includes device identifiers of a plurality of devices allowed to be connected and device identifiers of a plurality of devices prohibited from being connected, the terminal screens out a target device of a target type allowed to be connected from the plurality of peripheral devices according to the device identifiers of the devices allowed to be connected and the device identifiers of the devices prohibited from being connected.

In this step, the terminal deletes, according to the multiple connection-prohibited devices and the multiple first candidate devices, devices that match the device identifiers of the multiple connection-prohibited devices from among the device identifiers of the multiple first candidate devices, and then, screens, according to the device identifiers of the multiple connection-permitted devices, target devices that match the device identifiers of the multiple connection-permitted devices from among the deleted multiple first candidate devices.

The method for screening out the device prohibited from being connected and the device allowed to be connected by the terminal for each peripheral device is a process similar to the first method, and is not described here again.

As shown in fig. 7, taking a bluetooth handle as an example for explanation, when the terminal searches for a plurality of first candidate devices, information of the plurality of first candidate devices, for example, device identifiers, factory information, and the like of the first candidate devices, for each first candidate device, the terminal first determines whether the first candidate device is an external device, and when the first candidate device is an external device, determines whether the external device is a target type device, and when the terminal is not an external device or is not a bluetooth handle, the terminal continues to identify a next candidate device, so as to screen out target devices that are allowed to be connected from the plurality of external devices.

It should be noted that the terminal screens the plurality of first candidate devices initially to screen the peripheral devices with a smaller number, and then screens the peripheral devices directly, so as to narrow the screening range of the target device, improve the screening efficiency and accuracy, and further notify the success rate of the subsequent communication connection establishment.

It should be noted that the step 203-204 is actually a specific implementation manner of the step "the terminal screens out the target device from the plurality of first candidate devices according to the target device identifier list", that is, the step 203-204 is a process of first screening out the peripheral device and then further screening out the target device. However, the terminal may also directly screen the target device from the plurality of first candidate devices without going through the screening process of the peripheral device. Correspondingly, the step in which the terminal directly screens the target device from the plurality of first candidate devices, that is, the replacing step of the step 203 and the step 204, is: the terminal identifies the plurality of first candidate devices according to the plurality of device identifiers in the target device identifier list and the device identifiers of the plurality of first candidate devices, and identifies the target device of the target type in the plurality of first candidate devices.

In a possible implementation, the target device identifier list may also include device identifiers of a plurality of devices allowed to connect and/or device identifiers of a plurality of devices prohibited from connecting. Correspondingly, the step of directly screening the target device from the plurality of first candidate devices by the terminal corresponds to two modes, which are respectively:

in a first manner, when the target device identifier list includes device identifiers of multiple devices allowed to be connected, the terminal determines, according to the multiple devices allowed to be connected and the multiple first candidate devices, a device, which is matched with the device identifiers of the multiple devices allowed to be connected, in the multiple first candidate devices as the target device.

In a second manner, when the target device identifier list includes device identifiers of multiple devices allowed to be connected and device identifiers of multiple devices prohibited from being connected, the terminal deletes, according to the multiple devices prohibited from being connected and the multiple first candidate devices, a device that is matched with the device identifiers of the multiple devices prohibited from being connected, from the device identifiers of the multiple first candidate devices; and screening out target equipment matched with the equipment identifications of the plurality of devices allowed to be connected from the plurality of deleted first candidate equipment according to the equipment identifications of the plurality of devices allowed to be connected.

The implementation process of the two ways of directly screening the target device from the multiple first candidate devices by the terminal is the same as the above two ways of screening the target device from the peripheral device, and is not described herein again.

It should be noted that, the device identifier of the device allowed to be connected and the device identifier of the device prohibited from being connected in the target device identifier list may be managed and used in the form of a white list and a black list, respectively. The white list includes device identifications of a plurality of devices allowed to be connected, and the black list includes device identifications of a plurality of devices forbidden to be connected. The terminal may screen out target devices that are allowed to connect from the plurality of first candidate devices or peripheral devices based on the device identifications in the white list and the black list.

205. And the terminal establishes communication connection with the target equipment according to the equipment identification of the target equipment.

In this step, the terminal calls a system interface, and acquires the connection state of the target device through the system interface; and when the connection state is that the communication connection with other equipment is not established, the terminal determines that the pairing is successful and automatically establishes the communication connection with the target equipment. When the connection state is that the communication connection with other equipment is established, the terminal determines that the pairing is failed, the terminal can execute the pairing process again, and when the connection state is that the communication connection with other equipment is not established, the terminal establishes the communication connection with the target equipment.

The system interface may be a create Bond interface to determine whether the target device is currently in communication with other devices. A communication connection is established with the target device via a connect interface. In addition, when the pairing is failed, the terminal may send a prompt message to the user to prompt the user to disconnect the communication connection between the target device and the other device, so that the terminal pairs with the target device and establishes the communication connection when the target device is disconnected from the other device.

As shown in fig. 8, before establishing communication, the terminal pairs with the target device, establishes connection with the target device when pairing is successful, and cancels the pairing when pairing is failed, and performs re-pairing until pairing with the target device is successful.

It should be noted that the terminal can automatically pair based on the device identifier of the target device, and implement the subsequent connection process, thereby omitting the process of manually inputting the identification code by the user for pairing, saving the operation time of manual operation, and greatly improving the efficiency of establishing connection between devices.

206. And when the communication connection with the target equipment is successfully established, the terminal sends the equipment identification of the target equipment to the server and adds the equipment identification of the target equipment to a target equipment identification list of a storage space of the terminal.

The server adds the device identifier as the device identifier of the device allowed to be connected to a target device identifier list stored by the server, and the terminal adds the device identifier as the device identifier of the device allowed to be connected to the target device identifier list of the storage space of the terminal. Certainly, the server can also receive the device identifiers sent by other terminals, so that the terminal can acquire the target device identifier list from the server every other preset time, thereby updating the device identifiers in the target device identifier list in real time and ensuring the accuracy of subsequent screening based on the target device identifier list.

In a possible implementation manner, when the terminal establishes a communication connection with the target device, the target device may not be the target device desired by the user, and the user may also cancel the communication connection with the target device, and accordingly, when the communication connection with the target device is disconnected, the terminal sends the device identifier of the target device to the server, and adds the device identifier of the target device as the device identifier of the device prohibited from connecting to the target device identifier list of the storage space of the terminal.

Of course, when the communication connection is successfully established, the terminal may display a prompt message when the interface is displayed to notify the user of the establishment result of the communication connection.

It should be noted that, the terminal updates the target device identifier list in real time based on the establishment result of the communication connection, so that the device identifiers in the target device identifier list are more accurate and reliable, the accuracy of subsequent identification based on the target device identifier list is further improved, and the success rate of device connection is improved.

In order to more clearly show the process of the embodiment of the present invention, the overall process of the embodiment of the present invention is described by taking only the framework processes shown in fig. 9 and fig. 10 as examples, and taking the target device to be connected as a bluetooth handle as an example, as shown in fig. 9, fig. 9 is a main process diagram of the embodiment of the present invention, the terminal searches first to obtain a plurality of first candidate devices, and then identifies the bluetooth handle in the plurality of first candidate devices, the identification process may be a process including filtering the peripheral device first and then screening out the bluetooth handle in the peripheral device based on an identification list of the server, when the bluetooth handle is screened out, the terminal performs pairing and establishes communication connection after the pairing is successful. As shown in fig. 10, fig. 10 is a detailed flowchart of an embodiment of the present invention, taking a game management application as an example, when a user triggers a connection instruction of a terminal based on the game management application, the terminal starts a bluetooth connection function by turning on a bluetooth switch of the terminal, and starts to search for a first candidate device in a surrounding environment, where the bluetooth connection function is turned on, through a start Discovery interface, and for each first candidate device, the terminal further determines whether the first candidate device is an external device. If the peripheral equipment is the peripheral equipment, further judging whether the peripheral equipment is a Bluetooth handle, if not, continuously judging on the basis of the next first candidate equipment by the terminal, and screening out the peripheral equipment in the first candidate equipment. The terminal can judge whether each peripheral device is a Bluetooth handle or not based on the device identification of each peripheral device and the device identification in the identification list of the Bluetooth handle, and when the peripheral device is not the Bluetooth handle, the terminal continues to recognize whether the next peripheral device is the Bluetooth handle or not, so that the Bluetooth handles in the peripheral devices are screened out, the next pairing process is entered, and when the pairing is successful, communication connection is established. Of course, the terminal may also re-pair when the pairing fails. When the connection fails, the terminal may repeat the above-mentioned device connection process; when the connection is successful, the terminal may prompt the user that the connection is successful.

According to the method provided by the embodiment of the invention, the target equipment belonging to the target type is automatically screened out from the plurality of first candidate equipment through the target equipment identification list, and the communication connection is automatically established with the target equipment according to the equipment identification of the target equipment, so that the connection is performed without manual triggering of a user, the operation time of manual operation is saved, and the equipment connection efficiency is greatly improved.
