Detailed Description

To make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more clear, embodiments of the present application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, like numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of the present application, as detailed in the appended claims.

Referring to fig. 1, a schematic diagram of an implementation environment provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application is shown, where the implementation environment includes a terminal 110 and a bluetooth device 120.

The terminal 110 and the bluetooth device 120 are both electronic devices with bluetooth functions, and the electronic devices may be smart phones, tablet computers, wearable devices, personal computers, and the like.

The bluetooth functions of the terminal 110 and the bluetooth device 120 may be implemented by a built-in bluetooth chip or an external bluetooth component, which is not limited in this embodiment.

In the embodiment of the present application, the terminal 110 is an electronic device having a bluetooth device discovery function, and the bluetooth device 120 is a discovered electronic device. Illustratively, as shown in fig. 1, the terminal 110 is a smart phone, and the bluetooth device 120 includes a bluetooth headset, a smart phone, and a tablet computer located in a bluetooth discovery range of the smart phone.

In a possible application scenario, both the terminal 110 and the bluetooth device 120 start a bluetooth function, the terminal 110 broadcasts an equipment query request to the surroundings, the bluetooth device 120 receives the equipment query request, responds to the equipment query request, and sends a response result to the terminal 110, after receiving the response result sent by the bluetooth device, the terminal 110 displays the equipment name of the bluetooth device 120 in the bluetooth scan list 111 if successfully acquiring the equipment name of the bluetooth device 120 (the scan list 111 in fig. 1 includes the discovered equipment names of the bluetooth headset, the smart phone, and the tablet computer). Further, when receiving the bluetooth connection operation, the terminal 110 initiates a connection establishment request to the selected bluetooth device, thereby establishing a bluetooth connection with the selected bluetooth device, and further performing data transmission through the bluetooth connection.

For convenience of description, the following embodiments exemplify the application of the method for discovering a bluetooth device to the implementation environment shown in fig. 1.

Referring to fig. 2, a flowchart of a method for discovering a bluetooth device is shown according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the method including:

step 201, broadcasting a device query request.

In one possible implementation, when the terminal starts the bluetooth scanning function, it broadcasts an inquiry request to devices within a certain range nearby. The device query request includes an address of the terminal and other related information, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit specific content included in the device query request.

Optionally, the device query request is broadcast by the user trigger terminal.

For example, when a user wants to use the terminal to exchange information with some surrounding bluetooth device, the user may click a "bluetooth on" button on the bluetooth function interface, and trigger a bluetooth chip in the terminal to broadcast a device query request to the surrounding.

Alternatively, the terminal may periodically broadcast the device query request.

Step 202, in response to receiving a response result of the target bluetooth device to the device query request, where the response result does not include the target device name of the target bluetooth device, querying an RNR cache file based on the target device information of the target bluetooth device, where the RNR cache file includes a correspondence between the device information of the bluetooth device and the device name, and the device name is obtained by the terminal by sending an RNR.

Different from the related art, in the embodiment of the present application, when the response result received by the terminal does not include the device name of the bluetooth device, the terminal directly sends the RNR to the bluetooth device to obtain the device name.

In this embodiment of the application, the RNR cache file includes device information of bluetooth devices that have undergone RNR in history, where the device information is used to uniquely identify the bluetooth devices, and for example, the device information may be bluetooth addresses of the bluetooth devices, and the device names of the bluetooth devices and the device information of the bluetooth devices are stored in association, so that the terminal can accurately query the device names of the bluetooth devices from the RNR cache file based on the device information.

It should be noted that, if the response result of the target bluetooth device includes the device name, the terminal may directly determine the device name in the response result as the target device name of the target bluetooth device, and does not need to query the RNR cache file.

And step 203, responding to the target device name of the target Bluetooth device inquired from the RNR cache file, and displaying the target device name.

Based on the corresponding relation between the device name of the Bluetooth device and the information of other devices in the RNR cache file, the terminal can inquire the name of the target device from the RNR cache file, and after the device name of the target Bluetooth device is obtained, the terminal can display the name of the target device of the target Bluetooth device without RNR operation.

In the embodiment of the application, the target bluetooth device can firstly inquire in the RNR cache file, and then judge whether RNR operation is needed or not according to the inquiry result (RNR operation is not needed when the inquiry is completed).

To sum up, in the embodiment of the present application, the device information of the bluetooth device obtained by sending the RNR through the terminal history is stored in the RNR cache file, when the query request of the broadcast device is issued and the name of the target device is not obtained from the response result of the target bluetooth device, first, whether the name of the target bluetooth device exists in the file in the RNR cache file is queried according to the correspondence between the device information and the device name existing in the RNR cache file, and then, when the name of the target device of the target bluetooth device is included in the RNR cache file, the name of the target device of the target bluetooth device is directly displayed, and it is not necessary to send the RNR to the target bluetooth device to obtain the device name of the target bluetooth device, thereby simplifying the discovery process of the bluetooth device, and achieving the effects of shortening the discovery time of the bluetooth device and improving the discovery efficiency of the bluetooth device.

In this embodiment of the application, for the case that the device name of the target bluetooth name is not included in the response result, there are the following:

firstly, in response to receiving a device query response of the target bluetooth device and not receiving an Extended Inquiry Response (EIR) of the target bluetooth device, an RNR cache file is queried.

The EIR is an extended response to the device query request, and is further fed back to the terminal after the bluetooth device sends a device query response (inquiry response), where the device query response (inquiry response) includes information about devices other than the bluetooth address (such as a device name). However, since all bluetooth devices do not support the EIR mechanism, when the terminal receives the device inquiry response of the target bluetooth device and does not receive the EIR of the target bluetooth device, it needs to inquire the device name of the target bluetooth device in the RNR cache file.

Responding to the received equipment inquiry response of the target Bluetooth equipment, receiving the EIR of the target Bluetooth equipment, and analyzing the EIR; and inquiring the RNR cache file in response to the EIR not containing the device name of the target Bluetooth device.

In a possible implementation manner, the terminal receives the device query response of the target bluetooth device, and receives the EIR of the target bluetooth device, the terminal parses the EIR, and when the EIR is found to not include the device name of the target bluetooth device after parsing the EIR, the terminal queries the device name of the target bluetooth device in the RNR cache file.

Optionally, if the target bluetooth device does not inquire the target device name of the target bluetooth device in the RNR cache file, the target bluetooth device sends the RNR to the target bluetooth device, receives the RNR sent by the terminal, responds to the RNR, and feeds back an RNR response to the terminal.

Referring to fig. 3, a flowchart of a method for discovering a bluetooth device according to another exemplary embodiment of the present application is shown, where the method includes:

step 301, a device query request is broadcast.

Step 302, in response to receiving a response result of the target bluetooth device to the device query request, where the response result does not include the target device name of the target bluetooth device, obtaining a target bluetooth address of the target bluetooth device from the response result.

And when the response result does not contain the target Bluetooth name of the target Bluetooth equipment, the terminal can acquire the target Bluetooth address of the target Bluetooth equipment from the analyzed response result.

In the embodiment of the application, the bluetooth address and the device name of the bluetooth device are stored in the RNR cache file, and a corresponding relationship exists between the bluetooth address and the device name of the bluetooth device. Therefore, after the target bluetooth address of the target bluetooth device is acquired, it may be subsequently queried whether the target device name of the target bluetooth device is stored in the RNR cache file based on the target bluetooth address and the correspondence between the bluetooth address and the device name of the bluetooth device in the RNR cache file.

Step 303, the RNR cache file is queried based on the target Bluetooth address.

After obtaining the target bluetooth address of the target bluetooth device from the response result, the terminal may query whether there is a bluetooth device consistent with the target bluetooth address in the RNR cache file according to the correspondence between the bluetooth address and the device name in the RNR cache file.

Illustratively, when a terminal discovers peripheral bluetooth devices, it acquires that a bluetooth address of a bluetooth device is a bluetooth address 1, but does not acquire a device name of the bluetooth device, and at this time, it may query whether a matching bluetooth address consistent with a target bluetooth address exists in an RNR cache file according to a correspondence between the bluetooth address and the device name in the RNR cache file. The corresponding relationship between the bluetooth address and the device name of the bluetooth device in the RNR cache file is shown in the following table one:

watch 1

Bluetooth address	Device name
		Bluetooth address 1	Zhao's computer
Bluetooth address 2	Li IV earphone
		Bluetooth address 3	Zhang three mobile phone
Bluetooth address 4	Watch with money three
		Bluetooth address 5	MP3 of Wangwu

And step 304, in response to the RNR cache file having the matching Bluetooth address same as the target Bluetooth address, determining the device name corresponding to the matching Bluetooth address as the target device name.

Based on the corresponding relationship in the first table, when the matching bluetooth address is consistent with the target bluetooth address in the RNR cache file, the device name corresponding to the matching bluetooth address may be determined as the target device name of the target bluetooth device according to the corresponding relationship.

Illustratively, when the bluetooth address of the target bluetooth device is bluetooth address 1, and the terminal queries the bluetooth address consistent with the bluetooth address in the RNR cache file, the device name of the bluetooth device can be queried through the corresponding relationship in the RNR cache file, as can be known from the above table, the device name of the bluetooth device with the bluetooth address of 1 is "computer of zhao di", and at this time, the terminal can use "computer of zhao di" as the target device name of the target bluetooth device and display the target device name.

Since the device name of the bluetooth device is not fixed, if the device name of a certain bluetooth device is added to the RNR cache file, the user modifies the device name of the bluetooth device and the RNR cache file is not updated accordingly, the displayed device name may not be consistent with the actual device name when the bluetooth device is discovered next time.

In the embodiment of the application, in order to better utilize the RNR cache file and improve the accuracy of the device name displayed based on the RNR cache file, when the terminal generates the RNR cache file, the terminal can acquire the current timestamp simultaneously when acquiring the device name of the Bluetooth device, and adds the current timestamp as the cache timestamp into the RNR cache file to form the corresponding relation among the Bluetooth address, the device name and the cache timestamp of the Bluetooth device. When the name of the target device is subsequently acquired based on the RNR cache file, the terminal may further determine whether the acquired name of the target device is valid (i.e., not updated for a long time) based on the cache timestamp.

In one possible implementation, as shown in FIG. 4, this step includes the following

steps

304A and 304B:

step 304A, responding to the existence of a matching Bluetooth address which is the same as the target Bluetooth address in the RNR cache file, and acquiring a cache timestamp corresponding to the matching Bluetooth address, wherein the cache timestamp is used for representing the moment when the matching Bluetooth address is added to the RNR cache file;

based on the correspondence among the bluetooth address, the device name, and the cache timestamp of the bluetooth device in the above steps, the terminal may further obtain the cache timestamp corresponding to the matching bluetooth address when inquiring the matching bluetooth address.

Illustratively, the correspondence between the three RNR cache files is shown in the following table two:

watch two

Bluetooth address	Device name	Caching timestamps
			Bluetooth address 1	Zhao's computer	2021.7.22.12:00:00
Bluetooth address 2	Li IV earphone	2021.7.22.14:00:00
			Bluetooth address 3	Zhang three mobile phone	2021.7.12.02:00:00
Bluetooth address 4	Watch with money three	2021.5.22.22:00:00
			Bluetooth address 5	MP3 of Wangwu	2021.7.02.08:00:00

In an illustrative example, when the matching bluetooth address is queried to be bluetooth address 1, the terminal further obtains that the cache timestamp corresponding to the matching bluetooth address is "2021.7.22.12: 00: 00" (indicating that bluetooth address 1 is added to the RNR cache file at 2021.7.22.12:00: 00).

And step 304B, in response to that the time interval between the caching timestamp and the current timestamp is smaller than an interval threshold value, determining the device name corresponding to the matched Bluetooth address as the target device name.

When the corresponding relationship in the RNR cache file is not updated for a long time, a problem that the cached device name is inconsistent with the actual device name may occur, and therefore in one possible implementation, the terminal determines whether the device name corresponding to the matching bluetooth address is valid by calculating a time interval between the cache timestamp corresponding to the matching bluetooth address and the current timestamp, and further by comparing a size relationship between the time interval and an interval threshold.

Optionally, when the time interval between the cache timestamp and the current timestamp is smaller than the interval threshold, the terminal determines that the device name corresponding to the matching bluetooth address is valid, so that the device name corresponding to the matching bluetooth address in the RNR cache file is determined as the target device name of the target bluetooth device.

Optionally, the interval threshold may be set by default for the terminal, or may be set by the user, which is not limited in this embodiment.

Illustratively, in combination with the corresponding relationship shown in table two, when the matching bluetooth address is found to be the bluetooth address 1, the terminal calculates the time interval to be 55 hours according to the cache timestamp corresponding to the bluetooth address 1 and the current timestamp 2021.7.24.19:00: 00. Since the time interval is smaller than the interval threshold (e.g., 72 hours), the terminal determines "zhao-di computer" as the target device name.

Optionally, when the time interval is greater than the interval threshold, as shown in fig. 4, the terminal may obtain and display the name of the target device through the following steps:

and 308, responding to the time interval between the caching time stamp and the current time stamp being larger than the interval threshold value, and sending the RNR to the target Bluetooth device.

And when the time interval between the cache timestamp and the current timestamp is greater than the interval threshold, the terminal determines that the device name corresponding to the matched Bluetooth address is invalid, and needs to send an RNR to the target Bluetooth device so as to obtain the target device name of the target Bluetooth device again.

Illustratively, in combination with the correspondence shown in table two, when it is found that the matching bluetooth address is the bluetooth address 5, the terminal determines that the time interval between the cache timestamp corresponding to the bluetooth address 5 and the current timestamp 2021.7.24.19:00:00 is greater than the interval threshold (for example, 72 hours), so that the terminal determines that the device name of "MP 3" of wang five is invalid, and then sends an RNR to the target bluetooth device based on the matching bluetooth address to obtain the current device name of the target bluetooth device.

Step 309, receiving the RNR response sent by the target bluetooth device.

Step 310, displaying the target device name contained in the RNR response, and updating the target device name and the current timestamp to the RNR cache file.

In one possible implementation, the terminal displays the target bluetooth name included in the RNR response, and updates the device name (updated in the case that the cached device name is not consistent with the target bluetooth name in the RNR response) and the cache timestamp matching the bluetooth address in the RNR cache file based on the target bluetooth name and the current timestamp in the RNR response.

With reference to the example in the above step, the terminal sends the RNR to the target bluetooth device based on the bluetooth address 5, acquires the device name from the RNR response fed back by the target bluetooth device, updates the device name and the cache timestamp corresponding to the bluetooth address 5, and the updated correspondence in the RNR cache file is as shown in table three below:

watch III

Bluetooth address	Device name	Caching timestamps
			Bluetooth address 1	Zhao's computer	2021.7.22.12:00:00
Bluetooth address 2	Li IV earphone	2021.7.22.14:00:00
			Bluetooth address 3	Zhang three mobile phone	2021.7.12.02:00:00
Bluetooth address 4	Watch with money three	2021.5.22.22:00:00
			Bluetooth address 5	Xiaoming MP3	2021.7.24.19:00:10

It should be noted that, in other possible embodiments, the terminal may also update the RNR cache file (filter data whose time interval is greater than the interval threshold) at predetermined time intervals based on the cache timestamp and the current timestamp in the RNR cache file, which is not limited in this embodiment.

Step 305, displaying the name of the target device.

Step 306, in response to not inquiring the target device name of the target bluetooth device from the RNR cache file, sending the RNR to the target bluetooth device.

When the terminal does not inquire the device name of the target Bluetooth device in the RNR cache file, the terminal can send the RNR to the target Bluetooth device through a built-in Bluetooth chip or an external Bluetooth assembly, the target Bluetooth device can respond to the RNR and send an RNR response to the terminal after receiving the RNR sent by the terminal, and the terminal can obtain the target device name of the target Bluetooth device.

And 307, receiving the RNR response sent by the target Bluetooth device, and adding the target device name contained in the RNR response to the RNR cache file.

In one possible embodiment, the device name included in the RNR response and the target bluetooth address of the target bluetooth device are stored in association in an RNR cache file. Optionally, when the RNR cache file includes the cache timestamp, the terminal further needs to write the current timestamp as the cache timestamp into the RNR cache file.

Illustratively, the terminal does not inquire a matching bluetooth address consistent with the bluetooth address 6 in the corresponding relationship shown in table three, so as to send the RNR to the target bluetooth device based on the bluetooth address 6, and obtain the device name "reddish bluetooth headset" from the RNR response fed back by the target bluetooth device, and then update the RNR cache file according to the device name and the current timestamp, where the corresponding relationship in the updated RNR cache file is shown in table four below: watch four

Bluetooth address	Device name	Caching timestamps
			Bluetooth address 1	Zhao's computer	2021.7.22.12:00:00
Bluetooth address 2	Li IV earphone	2021.7.22.14:00:00
			Bluetooth address 3	Zhang three mobile phone	2021.7.12.02:00:00
Bluetooth address 4	Watch with money three	2021.5.22.22:00:00
			Bluetooth address 5	Xiaoming MP3	2021.7.24.19:00:10
Bluetooth address 6	Red bluetooth headset	2021.7.24.19:00:10

In an actual application scenario, a terminal may receive RNR responses sent by a plurality of surrounding bluetooth devices, and if the device names of all discovered bluetooth devices are stored in an RNR cache file, the RNR cache file is too large, occupies a large storage space, and affects the query speed of the RNR cache file.

In general, bluetooth devices that a user desires to discover quickly are usually located near a terminal, and there is no high requirement on the discovery speed of bluetooth devices that are far away from the terminal, so the terminal can only cache device names of bluetooth devices within a certain range nearby.

In one possible implementation manner, when the RNR response sent by the target bluetooth device is Received and the Received Signal Strength (RSSI) of the target bluetooth device is greater than the Strength threshold, the terminal adds the target device name contained in the RNR response to the RNR cache file.

Optionally, when receiving the RNR response sent by the target bluetooth device and the received signal strength of the target bluetooth device is less than the strength threshold, the terminal does not add the target device name included in the RNR response to the RNR cache file.

The intensity threshold may be set by default in the system, or may be customized by a user, which is not limited in this embodiment.

Illustratively, the terminal does not inquire a matching bluetooth address consistent with the bluetooth addresses 7 and 8 in the correspondence shown in table three, and thus sends an RNR to the first and second target bluetooth devices based on the bluetooth addresses 7 and 8, respectively, to obtain a first RNR response (including the device name "soundbox in living room") fed back by the first target bluetooth device and a second RNR response (including the device name "television in bedroom") fed back by the second target bluetooth device. Since the RSSI of the first target bluetooth device is-120 dbm, the RSSI of the second target bluetooth device is-30 dbm, and the strength threshold set by the terminal is-90 dbm, the terminal only updates the device name of the second target bluetooth device to the RNR cache file, and the corresponding relationship in the updated RNR cache file is as shown in the following table five:

watch five

In summary, in the embodiment of the present application, the terminal queries the target device name of the target bluetooth device from the RNR cache file based on the corresponding relationship between the bluetooth address of the bluetooth device and the device name in the RNR cache file, so that the RNR operation is avoided being directly performed on the target bluetooth device, the discovery process of the bluetooth device is simplified, and the accuracy of the queried target device name is improved.

In addition, after the device name of the Bluetooth device is acquired through the RNR operation, the terminal writes the current timestamp as a cache timestamp into an RNR cache file, and then determines whether the inquired Bluetooth name is valid or not based on the time interval between the cache timestamp and the current timestamp after the Bluetooth name is inquired based on the target Bluetooth address, so that the probability of display error caused by the fact that the device name is displayed based on the RNR cache file due to the fact that the Bluetooth name is not updated for a long time is reduced, and the display accuracy of the device name is improved.

Meanwhile, when the terminal acquires the Bluetooth name of the Bluetooth equipment through RNR operation, whether the Bluetooth name is written into the RNR cache file is determined based on the RSSI of the Bluetooth equipment, so that the storage of a large amount of equipment information of remote Bluetooth equipment in the RNR cache file is avoided, the storage space occupied by the RNR cache file is reduced, and the speed of inquiring the equipment name based on the RNR cache file is increased.

In an exemplary application scenario, as shown in fig. 5, the terminal 51 stores an RNR cache file 52, where the RNR cache file 52 includes a corresponding relationship between a bluetooth address, a device name, and a cache timestamp. When the bluetooth scanning function is turned on, the terminal 51 broadcasts a device inquiry request and receives device inquiry responses fed back by the respective surrounding bluetooth devices.

After receiving the device query response fed back by the first bluetooth device 53, the terminal 51 queries the RNR cache file 52 based on the bluetooth address "bluetooth address 1" of the first bluetooth device 53, and queries the matched device name "mobile phone with third zhang", and since the time interval between the cache timestamp corresponding to the device name and the current timestamp (2021-7-2310: 00:00) is less than 7 days, the terminal 51 displays the "mobile phone with third zhang".

After receiving the device query response fed back by the second bluetooth device 54, the terminal 51 queries the RNR cache file 52 based on the bluetooth address "bluetooth address 2" of the second bluetooth device 54, and queries the matched device name "liquan computer", and since the time interval between the cache timestamp corresponding to the device name and the current timestamp (2021-7-2310: 00:00) is greater than 7 days, the terminal 51 determines that the device name is invalid, so as to send the RNR to the second bluetooth device 54, and obtain the device name "minuscule computer" from the fed-back RNR response. Further, the terminal 51 displays "xiaoming computer", and updates the device name and the cache timestamp corresponding to the bluetooth address 2 in the RNR cache file 52.

After receiving the device query response fed back by the third bluetooth device 55, the terminal 51 queries the RNR cache file 52 based on the bluetooth address "bluetooth address 6" of the third bluetooth device 55. Since the matching device name is not queried, the terminal 51 transmits the RNR to the third bluetooth device 55, and acquires the device name "reddish headset" from the feedback RNR response. Since the RSSI of the third bluetooth device 55 is greater than the signal strength threshold-90 dbm, the terminal 51 displays "red headset" and stores "bluetooth address 6", "red headset" and the current timestamp association to the RNR cache file 52.

After receiving the device query response fed back by the fourth bluetooth device 56, the terminal 51 queries the RNR cache file 52 based on the bluetooth address "bluetooth address 7" of the fourth bluetooth device 56. Since the matching device name is not queried, the terminal 51 sends the RNR to the fourth bluetooth device 56, and acquires the device name "well-known tablet" from the feedback RNR response. Since the RSSI of the fourth bluetooth device 56 is less than the signal strength threshold of-90 dbm, the terminal 51 displays "red headset" but does not store the device information of the fourth bluetooth device 56 in the RNR cache file 52.
