Detailed Description

It is noted that the terminology used in the description of the embodiments of the present application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments of the present application only and is not intended to be limiting of the present application. In the description of the embodiments of the present application, "/" means "or" unless otherwise specified, for example, a/B may mean a or B; "and/or" herein is merely an association describing an associated object, and means that there may be three relationships, e.g., a and/or B, which may mean: a exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone. In addition, in the description of the embodiments of the present application, "a plurality" means two or more, and "at least one", "one or more" means one, two or more, unless otherwise specified.

In the following, the terms "first", "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and are not to be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Thus, the definition of "first" or "second" feature may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features.

Reference throughout this specification to "one embodiment" or "some embodiments," or the like, means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment is included in one or more embodiments of the present application. Thus, appearances of the phrases "in one embodiment," "in some embodiments," "in other embodiments," or the like, in various places throughout this specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment, but rather "one or more but not all embodiments" unless specifically stated otherwise. The terms "comprising," "including," "having," and variations thereof mean "including, but not limited to," unless expressly specified otherwise.

The technical scheme of the embodiment of the application can be applied to various communication systems, and is particularly positioned in an internet of things system. For example: a global system for mobile communication (GSM) system, a Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) system, a Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) system, a General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), a long term evolution (long term evolution, LTE) system, a LTE Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) system, a LTE Time Division Duplex (TDD) system, a universal mobile telecommunications system (universal mobile telecommunications system, UMTS), a Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) communication system, a future fifth generation (5G) system, or a new radio NR (UMTS) system, etc.

In order to better understand the bluetooth pairing method provided in the embodiment of the present application, a specific bluetooth pairing process is described below.

For example, when the electronic device is not paired with the bluetooth device, the electronic device may send an inquiry request (inquiry request) to the surroundings after the electronic device turns on the bluetooth function. When the bluetooth device is in an inquiry bluetooth scan (inquiry scan) state, the bluetooth device may scan an inquiry request sent by the electronic device. In response to the scanned inquiry request, the bluetooth device may send an inquiry response (inquiry response) to the electronic device, so that the electronic device acquires the bluetooth device as a pairable bluetooth device option. When the user selects the device option of the bluetooth device, the electronic device may send a page request (page request) to the bluetooth device. The bluetooth device may monitor the paging request of the electronic device at a certain fm frequency within a fixed time window at fixed intervals, and after monitoring the paging request of the electronic device, the bluetooth device may transmit a slave paging response (slave page response) to the electronic device at a next time slot. The electronic device may transmit a master page response (master page response) to the bluetooth device at a next time slot after receiving the slave page response of the bluetooth device. And then, after the Bluetooth device and the electronic device finish pairing authentication, a Bluetooth connection for transmitting data can be established.

In some cases, the pairing process between bluetooth devices may be: the Bluetooth device in the master mode scans surrounding devices after the Bluetooth function is opened, and after the Bluetooth device to be matched is obtained, the authentication codes approved by both parties are input and connection can be established after the authentication is passed. Therefore, when there are a plurality of mateable bluetooth devices in the use environment, the user of the bluetooth device needs to know the name or password of the device to be paired. However, if there are too many bluetooth devices around, the complicated and tedious pairing process may result in that the user (especially, the user who does not know how to operate bluetooth pairing) cannot conveniently enjoy the bluetooth function in time. For such a situation, if a user familiar with bluetooth pairing operation can assist in bluetooth pairing of the device, the user can conveniently enjoy the bluetooth function of the device in time, thereby improving the experience of the user.

In order to achieve the above object, an embodiment of the present application provides a bluetooth pairing method, where other users pair with an electronic device using a remote auxiliary bluetooth device, so as to bring convenience to a bluetooth device user who does not know how to pair, and meet a requirement that the user uses a bluetooth function conveniently and timely.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 7, a schematic flowchart of a bluetooth pairing method provided in the embodiments of the present application is shown. The process may be performed by a first electronic device, a second electronic device, and a bluetooth device. Illustratively, the first electronic device may correspond to the mobile phone 1 of the user a, the second electronic device may correspond to the mobile phone 2 of the user B, and the bluetooth device may correspond to the bluetooth speaker. The process may include the steps of:

s110, receiving a first operation of a user.

It should be understood that the user referred to herein refers to a person performing a remote assisted bluetooth pairing operation, such as user a in the scenario described above. For the sake of distinction, the present application refers to a subscriber (such as subscriber B or subscriber C in the above scenario) using a bluetooth device as a user or user of the bluetooth device.

The first operation may be used to enable the first electronic device to instruct the second electronic device to perform bluetooth scanning to acquire bluetooth device information around the second electronic device.

In some embodiments, the user may inform the user in a variety of ways which electronic devices need to be paired before performing this step. For example, the user may inform the user via a phone or a communication application that the second electronic device needs to be paired with the newly purchased first bluetooth device; or, the user and the user can agree in advance that the second electronic device is remotely assisted by the user to be paired with the first Bluetooth device at a specific time; alternatively, when the second electronic device acquires a first bluetooth device newly added around, the user may be automatically notified by the first electronic device, for example, a prompt message is displayed in a home life application (as shown in fig. 5B), or a notification message is automatically sent to the first electronic device.

In some embodiments, the user may input the first operation through a specific application installed on the first electronic device, where the specific application may be a third-party application, or may also be an application (such as a smart housekeeping application) of the first electronic device. For example, the first operation may be, for example, an opening operation of a switch control corresponding to bluetooth scanning by a user as shown in fig. 5C.

And S120, responding to the first operation of the user, and sending a Bluetooth scanning indication message to the second electronic equipment.

The Bluetooth scanning indication message is used for indicating the second electronic equipment to carry out Bluetooth scanning on the electronic equipment around the second electronic equipment.

In some embodiments, an interface may be provided between a specific application (e.g., a smart housekeeping application) in the first electronic device and the communication module of the first electronic device. After the user inputs the first operation in a specific application program, the application program can call the wireless communication function of the communication module to send a Bluetooth scanning indication message to the second electronic device.

In some embodiments, after receiving the first operation of the first user, the first electronic device may generate a bluetooth scanning instruction message and send the bluetooth scanning instruction message to a cloud server (e.g., a cloud server corresponding to a smart housekeeper App); the cloud server sends the Bluetooth scanning indication message to the second electronic equipment.

In some embodiments, the second electronic device scans for surrounding bluetooth devices in response to the bluetooth scan indication message. For example, the second electronic device may receive the bluetooth scanning indication message through a smart housekeeping application, wherein the smart housekeeping application may have an interface with the bluetooth scanning management function, and the smart housekeeping application may open the bluetooth scanning function of the second electronic device through the bluetooth scanning management function according to the bluetooth scanning indication message, so that the second electronic device scans the bluetooth devices around the second electronic device.

For example, the process of the second electronic device scanning its surrounding bluetooth devices may include: the second electronic device sends an inquiry request (inquiry request) to the surroundings, wherein the inquiry request ((inquiry request) is used for inquiring information such as Identification (ID) of surrounding Bluetooth devices.

In some embodiments, the second electronic device may generate a bluetooth device list according to the acquired inquiry responses of the plurality of bluetooth devices, and the bluetooth device list may include identifications (such as names) of the bluetooth devices. For example, the bluetooth device list may include a paired bluetooth device and an unpaired bluetooth device corresponding to the second electronic device (e.g., the bluetooth device list of the mobile phone 2 shown in fig. 5D) according to whether the bluetooth device is paired with the second electronic device.

Then, the second electronic device may send a bluetooth scanning feedback message to the first electronic device, where the bluetooth scanning feedback message carries the bluetooth device list. For example, the second electronic device may send a bluetooth scan feedback message to the first electronic device through a specific application. For example, the second electronic device may upload the bluetooth scanning feedback message to the cloud server through the smart housekeeping App, and the cloud server may send the bluetooth scanning feedback message to the first electronic device, so that the user may view the bluetooth device list through the smart housekeeping App (as shown in fig. 5D).

S130, receiving a bluetooth scanning feedback message sent by the second electronic device, where the bluetooth scanning feedback message is used to indicate information of at least one bluetooth device around the second electronic device.

In some embodiments, the first electronic device may display information of the at least one bluetooth device to the user after receiving the bluetooth scan feedback message. For example, as shown in fig. 5D, the first electronic device may display a bluetooth device list to the user at any interface of the smart housekeeping application, where the bluetooth device list may include paired bluetooth device IDs of the second electronic device and unpaired bluetooth device IDs of the second electronic device.

And S140, receiving a second operation of the user.

It should be understood that the user may select a corresponding bluetooth device from the bluetooth device list according to a previously known bluetooth device (e.g., the first bluetooth device) that needs to be paired. For example, the second operation may be, for example, a user clicking on a bluetooth speaker icon as shown in fig. 5D.

S150, in response to the second operation, sending a Bluetooth pairing instruction message to the second electronic device, where the Bluetooth pairing instruction message is used to instruct the second electronic device to pair with a first Bluetooth device, and the first Bluetooth device is any one of at least one Bluetooth device.

In some embodiments, the first electronic device may generate the bluetooth pairing instruction message in response to a second operation input by the user, for example, after the user inputs the second operation to the smart housekeeping application, the application generates the bluetooth pairing instruction message according to the second operation. The bluetooth pairing indication message may include an identifier (such as a name) of the first bluetooth device, and is used to indicate that the second electronic device is paired with the first bluetooth device.

In some embodiments, the first electronic device may send a bluetooth pairing indication message to the second electronic device via wireless communication. Alternatively, the first electronic device may send the bluetooth scanning instruction message to a cloud server (e.g., a cloud server corresponding to the smart housekeeper App) through a specific application program, and the cloud server sends the bluetooth scanning instruction message to an application program of the second electronic device.

In some embodiments, after receiving the bluetooth pairing instruction message, the second electronic device may pair with the first bluetooth device according to the identifier of the bluetooth device carried in the message. For example, the process of the second electronic device performing pairing handshake with the bluetooth device may include: the second electronic equipment sends a paging request (page request) to the first Bluetooth equipment; the first bluetooth device may send a page response (sample page response) to the second electronic device after monitoring the page request of the second electronic device. After receiving the paging response of the first bluetooth device, the second electronic device may send a master page response (master page response) to the first bluetooth device. And then, the first Bluetooth device and the second electronic device can enter a connection state, an ACL link connection is established, and pairing handshake authentication is completed.

In some embodiments, after the second electronic device and the first bluetooth device complete the pairing handshake, a bluetooth pairing success notification message may be generated and sent to the first electronic device to notify the first electronic device that pairing with the first bluetooth device is successfully completed.

In some embodiments, the second electronic device may directly send the bluetooth pairing success notification message to the first electronic device through wireless communication. Or, the second electronic device may also send the bluetooth pairing success notification message to the first electronic device through a specific application installed on the second electronic device, for example, the second electronic device may upload the bluetooth pairing success notification message to a cloud server through a smart housekeeper App, the cloud server sends the bluetooth pairing success notification message to the first electronic device, and then the first electronic device displays the bluetooth pairing notification message to the first user, so that the first user knows that the bluetooth pairing between the first electronic device and the first bluetooth device has been successfully completed.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 8, a schematic flowchart of another bluetooth pairing method provided in the embodiments of the present application is shown. The process may be performed by a first electronic device, a second electronic device, and a bluetooth device. Illustratively, the first electronic device may correspond to the mobile phone 1 of the user a, the second electronic device may correspond to the mobile phone 2 of the user B, and the bluetooth device may correspond to the bluetooth speaker. The process may include the steps of:

s1101, the first electronic device receives a first operation input by a user.

The first operation is used for indicating the first electronic equipment to issue a Bluetooth scanning instruction to the second electronic equipment.

Illustratively, the first operation may correspond to, for example, a user clicking on a bluetooth speaker icon as shown in fig. 5D.

In some embodiments, the user of the second electronic device may inform the user in a variety of ways which bluetooth device the second electronic device needs to be paired with before this step is performed. For example, a user may inform the user of a mateable bluetooth device via a phone or a communications application; or, the user may agree in advance with the user that the user needs to help to pair a certain bluetooth device at a certain time; alternatively, when the second electronic device determines that there are bluetooth devices that can be paired around, the user may be automatically notified through the first electronic device, such as displaying a prompt message in a home life application (as shown in fig. 5B), or automatically sending a notification message (such as a short message, a WeChat, etc.) to the first electronic device.

In some embodiments, after knowing that the second electronic device is surrounded by the pairable bluetooth devices, the user may input a first operation to the first electronic device, and instruct the second electronic device to perform bluetooth scanning through the first electronic device.

S1102, the first electronic device sends a Bluetooth scanning indication message to the second electronic device.

Wherein, the first indication message is used for indicating the second electronic equipment to execute the Bluetooth scanning operation.

In some embodiments, the first electronic device may send a bluetooth pairing indication message to the second electronic device via wireless communication.

In other embodiments, the first electronic device may also send the bluetooth scanning indication message to a cloud server (e.g., a cloud server corresponding to the smart housekeeper App) through a specific application program, and the cloud server then sends the bluetooth scanning indication message to a corresponding application program in the second electronic device.
