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.

Fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a call system according to an embodiment of the present application. Referring to fig. 1, the system may include: electronic device 10, mobile terminal 20, and bluetooth peripheral 30. The electronic device 10 may establish a Bluetooth (Bluetooth) protocol connection with the mobile terminal 20 and the Bluetooth peripheral 30, respectively.

Optionally, the electronic device 10 may be a smart phone, a tablet computer, or a vehicle-mounted terminal, the mobile terminal 20 may be a smart phone, a tablet computer, or the like, and an operating system of the mobile terminal may be an android operating system. The bluetooth peripheral 30 may be a bluetooth headset, a bluetooth speaker, or a wearable device. For example, as shown in fig. 1, the electronic device 10 may be a tablet computer, the mobile terminal 20 may be a smart phone, and the bluetooth peripheral 30 may be a bluetooth headset.

In this embodiment, after receiving the first call request, the mobile terminal 20 may send the first call request to the electronic device 10, and the electronic device 10 may forward the first call request to the bluetooth peripheral. Moreover, the electronic device 10 may forward the audio data of the first call sent by the mobile terminal 20 to the bluetooth peripheral after receiving the first listening instruction sent by the bluetooth peripheral, and may forward the audio data of the first call sent by the bluetooth peripheral to the mobile terminal. That is, the electronic device 10 may act as a bridge between the mobile terminal 20 and the bluetooth peripheral 30 so that the mobile terminal 20 and the bluetooth peripheral 30 may interact with audio data.

The embodiment of the application provides a call method, which can be applied to an electronic device, such as the electronic device 10 shown in fig. 1. Referring to fig. 2, the method may include:

step 101, forwarding a first call request sent by a mobile terminal to a Bluetooth peripheral.

The mobile terminal and the Bluetooth peripheral can be connected with the electronic device through a Bluetooth protocol, and the first call request is a call request received by the mobile terminal.

And 102, responding to a first answering instruction sent by the Bluetooth peripheral equipment, and indicating the mobile terminal to put through the first call.

After forwarding a first call request of the mobile terminal to the Bluetooth peripheral, the electronic device can receive a first answering instruction sent by the Bluetooth peripheral, and respond to the first answering instruction to instruct the mobile terminal to put through the first call.

And 103, forwarding the audio data of the first call sent by the mobile terminal to the Bluetooth peripheral, and forwarding the audio data of the first call sent by the Bluetooth peripheral to the mobile terminal.

After the electronic device indicates the mobile terminal to connect the first call, the audio data of the first call sent by the mobile terminal can be forwarded to the bluetooth peripheral, and the audio data of the first call sent by the bluetooth peripheral can be forwarded to the electronic device.

In summary, the embodiment of the present application provides a communication method, in which an electronic device may forward a first communication request sent by a mobile terminal to a bluetooth peripheral, and may interact audio data of a first communication between the mobile terminal and the bluetooth peripheral after receiving a first answering instruction sent by the bluetooth peripheral. Because the electronic equipment can forward the audio data of the mobile terminal to the Bluetooth peripheral equipment, the user can receive the incoming call of the mobile terminal through the Bluetooth peripheral equipment and carry out conversation, and therefore the incoming call of the mobile terminal can be prevented from being missed.

The embodiment of the present application provides a call method, which may be applied to a call system, for example, the call system shown in fig. 1. Referring to fig. 3, the method may include:

step 201, the electronic device displays the two-dimensional code.

In the embodiment of the present application, a remote control client may be installed in the electronic device. When the electronic equipment establishes Bluetooth connection with the mobile terminal for the first time, if the mobile terminal is not provided with the remote control client, the user can control the remote client installed in the electronic equipment to display the two-dimensional code for the mobile terminal to obtain the remote control client. The mobile terminal can scan the two-dimension code to download the remote control client, and then establish a Bluetooth protocol connection with the electronic device through the remote control client. The remote control client installed on the electronic device and the remote control client installed on the mobile terminal may be the same or different. The bluetooth protocol used for the bluetooth protocol connection is a hands-free profile (HFP) protocol or an advanced audio distribution profile (A2 DP) protocol.

Optionally, after scanning the two-dimensional code, the mobile terminal may obtain a download address of the remote client, where the download address is an Internet Protocol (IP) address of a background server of the remote client. Then, the mobile terminal can access the background server based on the download address and send an acquisition request of the installation package of the remote control client to the background server. The background server may send the installation package to the mobile terminal in response to the acquisition request. Correspondingly, the mobile terminal can receive and analyze the installation package and install the remote control client.

It should be noted that, the electronic device may first establish a Generic Attribute Profile (GATT) connection with the mobile terminal, that is, a connection established based on the GATT protocol. Thereafter, the mobile terminal may transmit an HFP protocol connection request or an A2DP protocol connection request to the electronic device through the GATT connection. That is, the electronic device and the mobile terminal may establish the HFP protocol connection or the A2DP protocol connection on the basis of the GATT connection.

Step 202, the mobile terminal sends a connection request to the electronic device through the remote client.

After obtaining the remote control client, the mobile terminal can operate the remote control client and send a connection request to the electronic device through the remote control client.

Optionally, the mobile terminal may further send a wireless fidelity connection request to the electronic device through the connection between the remote control client and the GATT, and after receiving the wireless fidelity connection request, the electronic device may respond to the wireless fidelity connection request, establish a wireless fidelity connection with the mobile terminal, and interact interface data with the mobile terminal based on the wireless fidelity connection. For example, the mobile terminal may project its screen to the electronic device through the wireless fidelity connection. Correspondingly, the electronic device can display the current interface of the mobile terminal on the display interface of the electronic device and can control the mobile terminal, namely the electronic device can remotely control the mobile terminal.

For example, assuming that the current display interface of the mobile terminal 20 is a call interface and the mobile terminal 20 projects the call interface to the electronic device, referring to fig. 4, the electronic device 10 may display the call interface on the display interface thereof. As shown in fig. 4, the call interface may include: intercept call control 01, dial call control 02, and retract keyboard control 03.

Moreover, as can be seen from fig. 4, if the electronic device 10 responds to the touch operation of the user on the keys "1, 2, and 3" in the keyboard of the call interface to display the numbers (i.e., 1, 2, and 3) corresponding to the keys, correspondingly, the mobile terminal 20 may also respond to the touch operation and display the same numbers.

It should be noted that, in the process of controlling the mobile terminal by the electronic device, the mobile terminal may further send an interrupt controlled instruction to the electronic device in response to an operation of the user, so as to interrupt the controlled state. The electronic device may display its own interface in response to the interrupt controlled instruction without displaying the current interface of the mobile terminal, and end the interface control of the mobile terminal.

Step 203, the electronic device establishes a bluetooth protocol connection with the mobile terminal.

After receiving a connection request sent by a mobile terminal, the electronic device can establish a bluetooth protocol connection with the mobile terminal.

Optionally, after receiving the connection request sent by the mobile terminal, the electronic device may send a connection establishment response to the mobile terminal, so as to establish a bluetooth protocol connection with the mobile terminal.

For example, assuming that the bluetooth protocol is the HFP protocol, the electronic device may call a bluetooth headset client (bluetooth headset client) object after receiving a connection request sent by the mobile terminal, and load a connection (connect) function and an audio connection (connected audio) function in the object to establish the HFP protocol connection with the mobile terminal.

In the embodiment of the application, the electronic device can also establish a bluetooth protocol connection with a bluetooth peripheral in the process of establishing the bluetooth protocol connection with the mobile terminal. Namely, the electronic equipment can respectively establish Bluetooth protocol connection with the mobile terminal and the Bluetooth peripheral. Optionally, the bluetooth peripheral may be an in-vehicle device, for example, an in-vehicle speaker.

The process of establishing the bluetooth protocol connection between the electronic device and the bluetooth peripheral may include: the electronic equipment starts the Bluetooth and searches the paired equipment, and when the Bluetooth peripheral equipment is searched, a pairing request is sent to the Bluetooth peripheral equipment. The bluetooth peripheral may establish a bluetooth protocol connection with the electronic device in response to the pairing request after receiving the pairing request.

In this embodiment of the application, because the electronic device may control the mobile terminal and may be controlled by a bluetooth peripheral, the electronic device may support an Audio Gateway (AG) role and a hands-free component (HF) role, that is, the electronic device may serve as both a client (client) and a server (server). The mobile terminal may support the AG role and the bluetooth peripheral may support the HF role. And the electronic equipment can establish Bluetooth protocol connection with the mobile terminal in an HF role and establish Bluetooth protocol connection with the Bluetooth peripheral in an AG role.

Optionally, the developer may set the attribute of the device by configuring an HFP profile (HFP profile) of the device according to the role that the device needs to support, so that the device supports the role. The hfp profile may include a profile _ supported _ hs _ hfp attribute and a profile _ supported _ hfpclient attribute. The attributes of the device may be pre-factory configured for the device.

For example, the mobile terminal needs to support the AG role, so before shipping, the developer may set the profile _ supported _ hs _ hfp attribute in the hfp profile of the mobile terminal to the enabled state, and set the profile _ supported _ hfpclient attribute to the disabled state, so that the mobile terminal supports the AG role. The electronic device needs to support both the AG role and the HF role, so before shipping, a developer may set both a profile _ supported _ hs _ hfp attribute and a profile _ supported _ hfpclient attribute in hfp profile of the electronic device to an enabled state, so that the electronic device supports both the AG role and the HF role. The bluetooth peripheral needs to support the HF role, so before shipping, a developer may set a profile _ supported _ hfpclient attribute in hfp profile of the bluetooth peripheral to an enabled state, and set a profile _ supported _ hs _ hfp attribute to a disabled state, so that the bluetooth peripheral supports the HF role.

Step 204, the mobile terminal sends a first call request to the electronic device.

In the embodiment of the application, the mobile terminal can make or receive calls. After receiving the first call request, the mobile terminal may send the first call request to the electronic device based on a bluetooth protocol connection between the mobile terminal and the electronic device.

The first call request may be sent by the call server to the mobile terminal, and the first call request may carry an incoming call number.

Fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of a protocol stack of an HFP protocol according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 5, the protocol stack of the HFP protocol is a five-layer architecture, and the five-layer architecture sequentially includes, from top to bottom: an application (application) layer 01, a hand-Free control (hand-Free) layer 02, a transport layer 03, a link layer 04, and a baseband (baseband) layer 04. The transmission protocol on which the transport layer 03 is based may include a Radio Frequency Communication (RFCOMM) protocol and a Service Discovery Protocol (SDP). The transport protocol on which the link layer 04 is based may include: link Management Protocol (LMP), and logical link control and adaptation protocol (L2 CAP). The application layer supporting the AG role may be used to perform audio port emulation (audio port emulation), and the application layer supporting the HF role may perform audio driver (audio driver).

The process of the mobile terminal sending the first call request to the electronic device may include: the mobile terminal transmits the first call request to the baseband layer 05 through the application layer 01, the hands-free control layer 02, the transport layer 03, and the link layer 04 in this order. The first call request may then be transmitted from the baseband layer 05 of the mobile terminal to the baseband layer 05 of the electronic device. Then, the baseband layer 05 passes through the link layer 04, the transport layer 03, and the hands-free control layer 02 in this order, and then, the layers are transferred to the application layer 01.

Step 205, the electronic device forwards the first call request sent by the mobile terminal to the bluetooth peripheral.

After receiving the call request, the electronic device may forward the first call request to the bluetooth peripheral based on a bluetooth protocol connection between the electronic device and the bluetooth peripheral.

Optionally, after receiving the first call request sent by the mobile terminal, that is, after an incoming call (incoming call) event, the electronic device may also call an audio simulation function in the bluetooth protocol, simulate an actual incoming call of the electronic device, and display an incoming call interface. Because the electronic equipment establishes Bluetooth protocol connection with the Bluetooth peripheral equipment in an AG role, the Bluetooth peripheral equipment can play the incoming call ringtone of the actual incoming call, and the electronic equipment can forward the first call request sent by the mobile terminal to the Bluetooth peripheral equipment.

For example, assuming that the electronic device is connected to the mobile terminal through the HFP protocol, after receiving the incoming Call event, the electronic device may Call an audio simulation function included In an audio management setting mode (audio manager _ setmode) object In the HFP protocol, for example, an incoming Call mode setting (audio manager _ mode _ In _ Call) function, simulate an actual incoming Call of the electronic device, and display an incoming Call interface shown In fig. 6. As can be seen from fig. 6, the incoming call interface may include: the incoming call number 12335, the call hang-up control 04, and the call answer control 05.

And step 206, the Bluetooth peripheral sends a first answering instruction to the electronic equipment.

The Bluetooth peripheral can play incoming call ring after receiving the first call request. And then, the Bluetooth peripheral can respond to the answering control operation of the user to generate a first answering instruction and send the first answering instruction to the electronic equipment. The answering control operation can be a voice control operation or a touch control operation. The touch operation may be a touch operation of a user for a listening control on the bluetooth peripheral.

Optionally, after receiving the first call request, the bluetooth peripheral may further identify an incoming call number carried in the first call request, determine an audio signal corresponding to the incoming call number, and play the audio signal.

And step 207, the electronic equipment responds to the first answering instruction sent by the Bluetooth peripheral equipment and indicates the mobile terminal to connect the first call.

After receiving a first answering instruction sent by the Bluetooth peripheral, the electronic equipment can respond to the first answering instruction and instruct the mobile terminal to connect a first call.

Optionally, the electronic device may simulate an event of connecting a call in response to the first receiving instruction, and connect the first call. Because the bluetooth role of the mobile terminal is the AG role and the bluetooth role of the electronic device is the HF role, that is, the electronic device can control the mobile terminal, the electronic device connects the first call, that is, the electronic device can control the mobile terminal to connect the first call.

And step 208, the electronic equipment forwards the audio data of the first call sent by the mobile terminal to the Bluetooth peripheral, and forwards the audio data of the first call sent by the Bluetooth peripheral to the mobile terminal.

After the electronic device indicates the mobile terminal to put through the first call, the audio data of the first call sent by the mobile terminal can be forwarded to the Bluetooth peripheral, and the audio data of the first call sent by the Bluetooth peripheral can be forwarded to the electronic device, so that the call is realized. At this time, for the user, the earphone or the speaker of the bluetooth peripheral device is the output device of the audio data, and the microphone of the bluetooth peripheral device is the input device of the audio data.

In an embodiment of the present application, the electronic device may include a first audio path and a second audio path. The electronic equipment can interact audio data with the mobile terminal through the first audio channel, and can interact audio data with the Bluetooth peripheral through the second audio channel.

Before the audio data sent by the mobile terminal is forwarded to the bluetooth peripheral, the electronic device may first connect the first audio path and the second audio path. And then, the electronic equipment can send the audio data of the first call sent by the mobile terminal to the Bluetooth peripheral through the connected first audio path and the second audio path. And the electronic equipment can send the audio data of the first call sent by the Bluetooth peripheral equipment to the mobile terminal through the communicated first audio channel and second audio channel, so that the interaction of the audio data between the mobile terminal and the Bluetooth peripheral equipment is realized.

Optionally, the electronic device may further include an audio switching circuit, and before the audio data sent by the mobile terminal is forwarded to the bluetooth peripheral, the electronic device may send a connection instruction to the audio switching circuit. The audio switching circuit may communicate the first audio path and the second audio path in response to the communication instruction.

By executing the steps 204 to 208, the electronic device can realize the interaction of the audio data between the mobile terminal and the bluetooth peripheral.

In this embodiment of the present application, in the process of audio data interaction between the mobile terminal and the bluetooth peripheral device, the electronic device may further perform the following steps:

step 209, in the process of interacting audio data between the mobile terminal and the bluetooth peripheral, the electronic device detects whether a second communication request is received.

The second call request may be sent by the call server to the electronic device, and the second call request may carry an incoming call number.

In the embodiment of the application, the electronic device may detect whether the second call request is received or not in the process of interacting audio data between the mobile terminal and the bluetooth peripheral, that is, both the electronic device and the mobile terminal receive the call request sent by the call server. If the electronic device receives the second call request, step 210 is executed. If the electronic device does not receive the second call request, the step 208 is executed continuously.

Step 210, the electronic device sends a second communication request to the bluetooth peripheral.

After receiving the second communication request, the electronic device may send the second communication request to the bluetooth peripheral based on the bluetooth protocol connection established between the electronic device and the bluetooth peripheral. Accordingly, the bluetooth peripheral may receive the second communication request.

And step 211, the bluetooth peripheral sends a second answering instruction to the electronic equipment.

After receiving the second communication request, the bluetooth peripheral can play the incoming call ringtone first instead of playing the audio data collected by the mobile terminal sent by the electronic device. And then, if the Bluetooth peripheral responds to the answering control operation of the user, the Bluetooth peripheral can generate a second answering instruction and can send the second answering instruction to the electronic equipment.

If the Bluetooth peripheral responds to the rejection control operation of the user, the Bluetooth peripheral can generate a rejection instruction and can send the rejection instruction to the electronic equipment. The rejection control operation may be a voice control operation or a touch operation, and the touch operation may be a touch operation of a user for the rejection control on the bluetooth peripheral.

Optionally, after receiving the second call request, the bluetooth peripheral may further identify the incoming call number carried in the second call request, determine an audio signal corresponding to the incoming call number, and play the audio signal.

And step 212, the electronic equipment responds to the second answering instruction, connects the second call, interacts audio data with the Bluetooth peripheral equipment and disconnects the connection with the mobile terminal.

In the embodiment of the application, after receiving a second answering instruction sent by the bluetooth peripheral, the electronic device can respond to the second answering instruction, connect a second call, interact audio data with the bluetooth peripheral, and disconnect the connection with the mobile terminal.

That is, the mobile terminal may respond to the second answering instruction, connect the second call, and send the audio data of the second call to the bluetooth peripheral, so that the bluetooth peripheral outputs the audio data. And receiving the audio data of the second call sent by the Bluetooth peripheral equipment, even if the Bluetooth peripheral equipment inputs the audio data.

Step 213, if the electronic device receives the call hangup command sent by the bluetooth peripheral, the electronic device hangs up the second call, and establishes a bluetooth protocol connection with the mobile terminal again.

In the embodiment of the application, in the process of data interaction between the electronic device and the bluetooth peripheral, if a call hangup instruction sent by the bluetooth peripheral is received, the second call can be hung up, and bluetooth protocol connection can be established with the mobile terminal again. And if the call hang-up instruction sent by the Bluetooth peripheral equipment is not received, the audio data of the second call can be continuously interacted with the Bluetooth peripheral equipment.

The call hang-up instruction may be generated by the bluetooth peripheral in response to a hang-up control operation of the user.

Optionally, the process of the electronic device reestablishing the bluetooth protocol connection with the mobile terminal may include: the electronic device may send a connection establishment request to the mobile terminal, and the mobile terminal may send a connection establishment response to the electronic device after receiving the connection establishment request. Therefore, the electronic equipment can establish Bluetooth protocol connection with the mobile terminal again.

Thereafter, if the first call request sent by the electronic device is received again, step 205 and the following steps may be executed.

At present, more and more people have a plurality of mobile terminals, for example, the mobile terminals may include an electronic device, a mobile terminal and a bluetooth peripheral, and the mobile terminals may be generally projected to the electronic device, so as to implement the multi-screen coordination and the call coordination between the mobile terminals and the electronic device. When the electronic equipment is not charged, the method provided by the embodiment of the application enables the electronic equipment to bridge the mobile terminal and the Bluetooth peripheral, so that when the mobile terminal has an incoming call, a user can also access the incoming call through the Bluetooth peripheral, the missed call is avoided, and the user experience is improved.

It should be noted that the electronic device may only establish a bluetooth protocol connection with the mobile terminal, that is, the electronic device and the mobile terminal interact audio data through the first audio channel. In this case, an earpiece (or speaker, etc.) of the mobile terminal may serve as an output device for audio data, and a microphone of the mobile terminal may serve as an input device for audio data.

The electronic device can also establish a bluetooth protocol connection only with the bluetooth peripheral, that is, the electronic device and the mobile terminal interact audio data through the second audio channel. In this case, the earpiece (or speaker, etc.) of the bluetooth peripheral may serve as an output device for audio data, and the microphone of the bluetooth peripheral may serve as an input device for audio data.

For the multiple application scenarios, the electronic device may determine a current application scenario based on the devices connected to the electronic device, and send a corresponding instruction to the audio switching circuit to configure the first audio path and the second audio path, thereby ensuring that the electronic device may be applicable to different application scenarios.

For example, if the electronic device detects that the electronic device is connected to the mobile terminal and the bluetooth peripheral, a connection instruction may be sent to the audio switching circuit, and the audio switching circuit may complete the bridge configuration of the first audio path and the first audio path after receiving the connection instruction. And after receiving the connection instruction, the audio switching circuit may update its flag bit to the first flag bit to indicate that the current role of the electronic device is the AG role and the HF role. The flag bit can be used for indicating the current application scenario of the electronic device.

If the electronic device detects that the electronic device is only connected with the mobile terminal, namely the electronic device is disconnected with the Bluetooth peripheral, a first non-connection instruction can be sent to the audio switching circuit. The audio switching circuit determines that bridging configuration of the audio path is not required after receiving the first non-connected instruction. And the audio switching circuit may update the current first flag bit to the second flag bit to indicate that the current role of the electronic device is the HF role when receiving the first non-connection instruction.

If the electronic device detects that the electronic device is only connected with the Bluetooth peripheral, namely the electronic device is disconnected with the mobile terminal, a second non-connection instruction can be sent to the audio switching circuit. The audio switching circuit determines that bridging configuration of the audio path is not required after receiving the second non-connected instruction. Moreover, after receiving the second non-connection instruction, the audio switching circuit may update the current first flag bit to a third flag bit to indicate that the current role of the electronic device is the AG role.

It should be noted that the sequence of the communication method provided in the embodiment of the present application may be appropriately adjusted, and the steps may also be correspondingly increased or decreased according to the situation. For example, steps 201 to 205 may be deleted according to the situation that the bluetooth protocol connection has been established with the mobile terminal for the electronic device and the mobile terminal is in a controlled state. Any method that can be easily conceived by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present application is covered by the protection scope of the present application, and thus the detailed description thereof is omitted.
