In the description of the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise indicated, "/" means or, for example, a/B may represent a or B; "and/or" herein is merely an association relationship describing an association object, and means that three relationships may exist, for example, a and/or B may mean: a exists alone, A and B exist together, and B exists alone. In addition, in the description of the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise indicated, "a plurality" means two or more, and "at least one", "one or more" means one, two or more.

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

Reference in the 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 application. Thus, appearances of the phrases "in one embodiment," "in some embodiments," "in other embodiments," and the like in the specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment, but mean "one or more but not all embodiments" unless expressly specified 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 particularly can be positioned in an Internet of things system. For example: global system for mobile communications (global system of mobile communication, GSM), code division multiple access (code division multiple access, CDMA) system, wideband code division multiple access (wideband code division multiple access, WCDMA) system, general packet radio service (general packet radio service, GPRS), long term evolution (long term evolution, LTE) system, LTE frequency division duplex (frequency division duplex, FDD) system, LTE time division duplex (time division duplex, TDD), universal mobile telecommunications system (universal mobile telecommunication system, UMTS), worldwide interoperability for microwave access (worldwide interoperability for microwave access, wiMAX) communication system, future fifth generation (5th generation,5G) system, or New Radio (NR), etc.

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

For example, when the electronic device is unpaired with the bluetooth device, the electronic device may send a query request (query reqeust) 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 for 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 mateable 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 listen for paging requests from the electronic device at regular intervals and at a certain frequency modulation frequency within a regular time window, and upon listening for a paging request from the electronic device, the bluetooth device may send a slave paging response to the electronic device in the next time slot (salve page response). The electronic device, upon receiving the slave page response of the bluetooth device, may send a master page response to the bluetooth device in the next time slot (master page response). After the pairing authentication is completed, the Bluetooth device and the electronic device can establish a Bluetooth connection for transmitting data.

In some cases, the pairing procedure between bluetooth devices may be: the Bluetooth equipment in the main mode scans surrounding equipment after the Bluetooth function is opened, and after the Bluetooth equipment to be matched is obtained, authentication codes approved by both parties are input, and connection can be established after authentication is passed. Thus, when there are a plurality of matchable 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 complex and cumbersome pairing process may result in a user (especially a user who is not aware of how to operate the bluetooth pairing) not being able to enjoy the bluetooth function in time and conveniently. Aiming at the situation, if a user familiar with Bluetooth pairing operation can assist Bluetooth pairing of equipment, the user can timely and conveniently enjoy the Bluetooth function of the equipment, so that the experience of the user is improved.

In order to achieve the above purpose, the embodiment of the application provides a bluetooth pairing method, which utilizes electronic equipment to remotely assist bluetooth equipment to pair by other users, so that convenience is brought to bluetooth equipment users who are unclear how to pair, and the requirements of users on timely and convenient use of bluetooth functions are met.

In the method of the embodiment of the present application, a bluetooth protocol frame used by a bluetooth device may be shown in fig. 3, which is not described herein.

The Bluetooth pairing method is mainly applied to pairing scenes where Bluetooth equipment is not at the near end, such as scenes where family members are helped to pair Bluetooth equipment remotely. For ease of understanding, the following exemplary descriptions of several possible application scenarios are provided, but the application scenarios to which the method provided in the embodiments of the present application is applicable are not limited thereto.

By way of example, one possible application scenario is: user a purchases a bluetooth speaker for a user of the bluetooth device (e.g., user a's mother, hereinafter "user B") and posts it to the home; after receiving the bluetooth speaker, the user B does not know how to pair the bluetooth speaker with his own mobile phone (hereinafter referred to as "mobile phone 2"), and the user a can remotely assist the mobile phone 2 to pair with the bluetooth speaker in a place other than home according to the preset authority.

In one possible implementation, the user a remotely assisted mobile phone 2 and the bluetooth speaker are paired with a plurality of modes, such as a bluetooth assisted pairing mode and a non-inductive bluetooth assisted pairing mode, which can be selected. The inductive bluetooth auxiliary pairing mode refers to that when the user a pairs the remote auxiliary mobile phone 2 with the bluetooth speaker in the mode, the user B senses the pairing process, for example, information for prompting the pairing process and the like can be popped up on the interface of the mobile phone 2; the non-inductive bluetooth auxiliary pairing mode refers to a process that when the user a is paired with the bluetooth speaker in the remote auxiliary mobile phone 2 in the mode, the user B cannot perceive the whole pairing process, for example, in the process that the bluetooth speaker is paired with the mobile phone of the user B, the mobile phone 2 of the user B cannot change in an interface.

It should be understood that the non-inductive bluetooth auxiliary pairing mode may avoid affecting the user B to use the mobile phone to check other services, such as watching video, etc., and the method of bluetooth pairing described in the following embodiments of the present application is mainly taken as an example of the non-inductive bluetooth auxiliary pairing mode.

By way of example, another possible application scenario is: the mobile phone 2 of the user B is successfully paired with the bluetooth speaker, but another member (such as a child, hereinafter referred to as "user C") in the home is not paired with the bluetooth speaker because the mobile phone of the user C (hereinafter referred to as "mobile phone 3") is not at home, so that the user B can share pairing information of the bluetooth speaker to the mobile phone 3 of the user C after the mobile phone 2 completes pairing, such as notifying the user C that a new bluetooth speaker exists in the home; after the user C goes home, the mobile phone 3 can make the remote user A assist the mobile phone 3 to pair with the Bluetooth sound box without inquiring and scanning surrounding equipment, so that the efficiency of pairing the mobile phone 3 with the Bluetooth sound box is improved.

According to the Bluetooth pairing method provided by the embodiment of the application, bluetooth pairing is carried out by the remote auxiliary electronic equipment of other electronic equipment and the peripheral specific equipment, so that convenience is brought to a Bluetooth equipment user who does not know how to carry out pairing operation, and the requirement that the user can enjoy the Bluetooth function conveniently in time is met.

The method of bluetooth pairing provided in the embodiments of the present application is described below in conjunction with some graphical user interface (graphical user interface, GUI) schematics that may be involved in the process of bluetooth pairing. Exemplary, as shown in fig. 5A to 5D, graphical user interface diagrams are provided in embodiments of the present application. For ease of understanding, the interface shown in fig. 5A to 5D will be described herein as an example of the interface in the mobile phone 1 of the user a.

Exemplary, as shown in fig. 5A, is a schematic diagram of a home screen interface of the mobile phone 1 of the user a. The home screen interface may include an application icon display area 10 for displaying various types of application (App) icons such as clock icons, calendar icons, gallery icons, memo icons, file management icons, email icons, music icons, calculator icons, recorder icons, sports health icons, weather icons, browser icons, smart manager icons, setup icons, and the like. Under the plurality of application icons may be a page indicator display region 20 that includes page indicators for indicating the positional relationship of the currently displayed page to other pages. A tray application icon display area 30 may be displayed below the page indicator for displaying a plurality of tray application icons, such as camera application icons, address book application icons, telephone dialing application icons, information application icons, and the like. In other embodiments, the cell phone home screen interface may include more or less application icons or tray application icons than illustrated, as this application is not limiting. Above the interface, a status bar 40 may also be displayed, which status bar 40 may include: one or more signal strength indicators of mobile communication signals (or cellular signals), one or more signal strength indicators of wireless high fidelity (wireless fidelity, wi-Fi) signals, power indicators of the handset 1, time indicators, etc.

In some embodiments, the handset 1 may receive a click operation of the smart manager application icon 101 by the user a. In response to the click operation of the user a, the mobile phone 1 may display a smart manager application interface as shown in fig. 5B.

As shown in fig. 5B, the smart manager application interface may include the name of the smart manager system and the devices and members included in the smart manager system, for example, the name of the smart manager system where the user is located is "my home", and the smart manager system includes 3 members and 12 devices, wherein the 3 members are, for example, user a, user B, and user C, respectively. The intelligent manager application interface can also display equipment corresponding to each member, for example, equipment corresponding to a user A can be a mobile phone 1, a tablet personal computer 1, a Bluetooth headset 1, an intelligent watch 1 and the like, equipment corresponding to a user B can be a mobile phone 2, a tablet personal computer 2, an intelligent television 2, an intelligent watch 2 and the like, and equipment corresponding to a user C can be a mobile phone 3 and an intelligent watch 3.

In some embodiments, when user B receives a newly purchased bluetooth speaker, the bluetooth speaker is turned on, and the bluetooth function of the bluetooth speaker is turned on accordingly. Then, the mobile phone 2 scans surrounding bluetooth devices to obtain current surrounding bluetooth device information (such as the identity of the bluetooth devices). The mobile phone 2 can compare the current bluetooth devices around with the number of bluetooth devices acquired before to determine whether there are newly added paired bluetooth devices around.

When newly added paired Bluetooth equipment is arranged around the mobile phone 2, a prompt icon can be displayed at the mobile phone 2 icon of the intelligent manager application interface. As shown in fig. 5B, a circular hint icon may be displayed in the upper right corner of the handset 2. Alternatively, the alert icon may be used to alert the number of newly added paired bluetooth devices, for example, the circular alert icon may further include a number, which may be used to indicate the number of newly added paired bluetooth devices around the mobile phone 2, e.g., "+1" may indicate that 1 newly added paired bluetooth device is around the mobile phone 2.

In some embodiments, the mobile phone 1 may receive a click operation of the user a on the prompt icon corresponding to the mobile phone 2. In response to the click operation of the user a, the mobile phone 1 may display the management interface of the mobile phone 2 as shown in fig. 5C.

As shown in fig. 5C, the management interface of the mobile phone 2 may include a prompt information display area 50 and a rights management operation area 60 of the mobile phone 2. The prompt message display area 50 may, for example, display a text description corresponding to the prompt icon, such as "1 bluetooth device capable of pairing exists around the mobile phone 2", for enabling the user a to learn more detailed information of the bluetooth device capable of pairing. The rights management operation area 60 may display the rights of the user a to the mobile phone 2, such as bluetooth scan management rights, voice sharing management rights, and the like, and the area 60 may further include a control corresponding to the new rights. For example, each management right may be a default off state.

In some embodiments, when the user a determines that the remote auxiliary mobile phone 2 and the bluetooth speaker are to be paired, the mobile phone 1 may receive a click operation of the user a on the switch control after bluetooth scanning; in response to the clicking operation of the user a, the mobile phone 1 may automatically transmit an indication message of bluetooth scanning to the mobile phone 2.

In some embodiments, the mobile phone 2 scans surrounding electronic devices in response to the indication message of bluetooth scanning, acquires a bluetooth device list, and sends the bluetooth device list to the mobile phone 1. The manner in which the mobile phone 2 sends the bluetooth device list to the mobile phone 1 may be, for example: the handset 2 sends the bluetooth device list to the handset 1 through the smart manager App.

After the mobile phone 1 obtains the bluetooth device list, the list may be shown to the user a. Illustratively, as shown in fig. 5D, a bluetooth device list of the mobile phone 2 displayed for the smart attendant App interface in the mobile phone 1 may include devices already paired with the mobile phone 2, such as aircards Pro and Honor 8X, and devices not paired with the mobile phone 2, such as bluetooth speakers. The user A can select the mobile phone 2 to be paired with the Bluetooth sound box according to actual needs, for example, the user A can click on an icon corresponding to the Bluetooth sound box; in response to the clicking operation of the user, the mobile phone 1 can send indication information of bluetooth pairing to the mobile phone 2, and instruct the mobile phone 2 to pair with the bluetooth speaker.

In some embodiments, after the mobile phone 2 completes pairing with the bluetooth speaker, the mobile phone 2 may send a notification message to the mobile phone 1 that the bluetooth pairing is completed. After receiving the bluetooth pairing success notification message, the mobile phone 1 may display the message to the user. As shown in fig. 5E, the mobile phone 1 may pop up the bluetooth pairing success notification message on any interface of the smart attendant; alternatively, the mobile phone 1 may display the bluetooth pairing success notification message in a status bar (not shown in the figure). Optionally, after the mobile phone 1 and the bluetooth speaker are paired, the prompt icon at the mobile phone 2 shown in fig. 5B automatically disappears.

It should be understood that in the above process, the interface in the mobile phone 2 of the user B may not be changed, that is, the user B is not aware of the whole process of pairing the mobile phone 2 with the bluetooth speaker by the remote auxiliary of the user a, so that the influence of the pairing process on the interruption of the process of other services in the mobile phone 2 and the like is avoided, and the use experience of the user is improved.

According to the Bluetooth pairing method provided by the embodiment of the application, bluetooth pairing is carried out through the remote auxiliary electronic equipment, so that a user with unclear Bluetooth pairing operation does not need to execute Bluetooth pairing operation on the electronic equipment, the Bluetooth equipment can be timely and conveniently used, meanwhile, the method cannot cause interruption and other influences on other operation processes of using the electronic equipment by the user, and the user experience of the user is improved.

Exemplary, as shown in fig. 6A to 6E, further graphical user interface diagrams are provided in embodiments of the present application. In combination with the above-described non-first connection scenario, fig. 6A to 6E may be schematic GUI diagrams related to the process of sharing bluetooth speaker information by the user a to the user C after the pairing of the user B and the bluetooth speaker is completed. It should be understood that, unlike fig. 5A to 5E, the interface shown in fig. 6A to 6E is an interface in the electronic device of the user of the bluetooth device, and may be, for example, a schematic diagram of a display interface in the mobile phone 2 during the process that the user B shares the bluetooth speaker information with the user C through the mobile phone 2.

After the mobile phone 2 of the user B and the bluetooth speaker are paired through the process in the embodiments of fig. 5A to 5E, the user B may share the information of the bluetooth speaker to the mobile phone 3 of the user C that is not paired with the bluetooth speaker. For example, as shown in fig. 6A, the home screen interface of the mobile phone 2 includes similar contents as those of the home screen interface of the mobile phone 1 in fig. 5A, which will not be described in detail herein.

In some embodiments, the handset 2 may receive a click operation by the user B on the set icon. In response to the click operation by the user B, the mobile phone 2 may display a setting interface as shown in fig. 6B.

As shown in fig. 6B, the setup interface may include a plurality of service types, such as wireless and network service, bluetooth service, desktop and wallpaper service, display service, voice service, application service, battery service, storage service, health use mobile phone service, security and privacy service, and the like. In other embodiments, the setup interface may also include more or fewer types of traffic than illustrated, which is not limiting in this application. In some embodiments, the mobile phone 2 may receive a click operation of the user B on the bluetooth service, and in response to the click operation of the user B, the mobile phone 2 may display a bluetooth setting interface as shown in fig. 6C.

As shown in fig. 6C, the bluetooth device interface may include a switch control corresponding to the bluetooth function, below which the bluetooth identification of the mobile phone 2 may be displayed (e.g., display "may now be found as' mobile phone 2"). Below the bluetooth identity of the handset 2 there may be displayed bluetooth devices, such as aircards Pro, honor 8X, bluetooth speakers, etc., to which the handset 2 has been paired. The paired bluetooth device may display a corresponding connection control, where the connection control may display a current bluetooth connection state of the mobile phone 2 and the bluetooth device, for example, in fig. 6C, "unconnected" is displayed on the connection control corresponding to the air ports Pro and Honor 8X, which indicates that the mobile phone 2, the air ports Pro and Honor 8X have completed pairing, and are currently in an unconnected state; the "connected" is displayed on the connection control corresponding to the bluetooth speaker, which indicates that the mobile phone 2 and the bluetooth speaker are paired and are currently in a connected state. The sharing control can be displayed after the Bluetooth device is connected with the control. In some embodiments, the mobile phone 2 may receive a click operation of the sharing control after the bluetooth speaker by the user B. In response to the clicking operation of the user B, the mobile phone 2 may display a bluetooth device information sharing interface as shown in fig. 6D.

As shown in fig. 6D, sharable application icons, such as a smart manager application icon, a WeChat application icon, a QQ application icon, and more icons, may be displayed below the paired Bluetooth device list, where more may include other types of application icons, which is not limited in this application. In some embodiments, the handset 2 may receive a click operation by user B on the smart manager application icon. In response to the click operation of the user B, the cell phone 2 may display a smart attendant member interface as shown in fig. 6E.

As shown in fig. 6E, the smart housekeeping member interface may include a list of members registered in the smart housekeeping system, including, for example, user a, user B, and user C. Each member bar may include information such as a selection control, a user avatar, a user name, etc. corresponding to the member. In some embodiments, the user B may click on a selection control in the corresponding user bar according to the requirement, so as to send the information of the bluetooth speaker to the corresponding user. For example, the mobile phone 2 may receive a click operation of the user B on the selection control in the column of the user C, and in response to the click operation of the user, the mobile phone 2 may share information of the bluetooth speaker to the user C in a smart home application, so that the user C may learn the information of the bluetooth speaker.

After the user C knows the information of the bluetooth speaker, a prompt icon (similar to the prompt icon displayed at the handset 2 in fig. 5B) may be displayed at the handset 3 in the smart attendant's main interface. After that, the user a can complete pairing with the bluetooth speaker through the mobile phone 3 of the remote auxiliary user C of the mobile phone 1, and the process of the remote auxiliary pairing is similar to that of the embodiment of fig. 5A to 5E, and specific content can be referred to the foregoing related content, which is not repeated here.

It should be understood that the embodiment of the present application is described by taking the smart housekeeping App as an example, but in practical application, the method of the present application is not limited to implementation by the smart housekeeping App, but may have various other implementations, which is not limited to this application.

According to the Bluetooth pairing method provided by the embodiment of the application, after a certain Bluetooth device user is paired with the Bluetooth device, the information of the paired Bluetooth device can be shared with other users, so that the users can remotely assist the electronic devices of other users to be paired with the Bluetooth device, and the requirements of timely and convenient use of the Bluetooth device by the users are met.

Exemplary, as shown in fig. 7, a schematic flowchart of a bluetooth pairing method is provided in an embodiment of the present application. The process may be performed by the first electronic device, the second electronic device, and the bluetooth device. For example, 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 ease of distinction, the user using the bluetooth device (e.g., user B, user C in the scenario described above) is referred to herein as the 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, so as to obtain bluetooth device information around the second electronic device.

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

In some embodiments, the user may enter the first operation through a particular application installed on the first electronic device, which may be a third party application, or may be an application that is self-contained with the first electronic device (e.g., a smart-keeper application). The first operation may be, for example, an opening operation of the switch control corresponding to bluetooth scanning by the user 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 device to perform Bluetooth scanning on surrounding electronic devices.

In some embodiments, an interface may be provided between a particular application (e.g., a smart manager application) in the first electronic device and the communication module of the first electronic device. When the user inputs the first operation in the specific application program, the application program can call the wireless communication function of the communication module to send the 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 scan indication message, and send the bluetooth scan indication message to a cloud server (e.g., a cloud server corresponding to a smart attendant App); and 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. The second electronic device may receive the bluetooth scan indication message through a smart housekeeping application, where the smart housekeeping application may have an interface with a bluetooth scan management function, and the smart housekeeping application may turn on the bluetooth scan function of the second electronic device through the bluetooth scan management function according to the bluetooth scan indication message, so that the second electronic device scans bluetooth devices around the second electronic device.

For example, the process of the second electronic device scanning its surrounding bluetooth devices may include: in response to the scanned inquiry request, the Bluetooth device may send an inquiry response (inquiry response) to the second electronic device, which may include the Bluetooth device ID.

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, where the bluetooth device list may include an identification (e.g., a name) of the bluetooth device. For example, the bluetooth device list may include paired bluetooth devices and unpaired bluetooth devices (such as the bluetooth device list of the mobile phone 2 shown in fig. 5D) corresponding to the second electronic device, depending on whether the bluetooth device is paired with the second electronic device.

The second electronic device may then send a bluetooth scan feedback message to the first electronic device, the bluetooth scan feedback message carrying a list of bluetooth devices. For example, the second electronic device may send a bluetooth scan feedback message to the first electronic device via a particular application. For example, the second electronic device may upload the bluetooth scan feedback message to the cloud server through the smart attendant App, and the cloud server may then send the bluetooth scan feedback message to the first electronic device, so that the user may view the bluetooth device list through the smart attendant App (as shown in fig. 5D).

And S130, receiving a Bluetooth scanning feedback message sent by the second electronic device, wherein the Bluetooth scanning feedback message is used for indicating information of at least one Bluetooth device around the second electronic device.

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

S140, receiving a second operation of the user.

The second operation is for causing the first electronic device to instruct the second electronic device to handshake pair with the first bluetooth device.

It should be appreciated that the user may select a corresponding bluetooth device in the bluetooth device list according to a bluetooth device (e.g., a first bluetooth device) that is known in advance to be paired. The second operation may be, for example, a click operation of the bluetooth speaker icon by the user shown in fig. 5D.

And S150, responding to the second operation, and sending a Bluetooth pairing indication message to the second electronic device, wherein the Bluetooth pairing indication message is used for indicating the second electronic device to be paired with a first Bluetooth device, and the first Bluetooth device is any Bluetooth device in at least one Bluetooth device.

In some embodiments, the first electronic device may generate the bluetooth pairing indication message in response to a second operation of the user input, e.g., after the user inputs the second operation to the smart attendant application, the application generates the bluetooth pairing indication message according to the second operation. The bluetooth pairing indication message may include an identification (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. Or, the first electronic device may send the bluetooth scan indication message to a cloud server (for example, a cloud server corresponding to the smart attendant App) through a specific application program, and the cloud server sends the bluetooth scan indication 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 device sends a paging request (page request) to the first Bluetooth device; the first bluetooth device may send a paging response (salve page response) to the second electronic device after hearing the paging request of the second electronic device. After receiving the paging response of the first bluetooth device, the second electronic device may send a master paging response to the first bluetooth device (master page response). And then, the first Bluetooth device and the second electronic device can enter a connection state, 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 the bluetooth pairing success notification message may be sent to the first electronic device, so as to notify the first electronic device that pairing is successfully completed with the first bluetooth device.

In some embodiments, the second electronic device may send the bluetooth pairing success notification message to the first electronic device directly 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 program installed on the second electronic device, for example, the second electronic device may upload the bluetooth pairing success notification message to the cloud server through the smart attendant 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 first electronic device and the first bluetooth device have successfully completed bluetooth pairing.

Exemplary, as shown in fig. 8, a schematic flowchart of another bluetooth pairing method according to an embodiment of the application is provided. The process may be performed by the first electronic device, the second electronic device, and the bluetooth device. For example, 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 send the blue tooth scanning instruction to the second electronic equipment.

The first operation may correspond to, for example, a user clicking operation for 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 number of ways with which bluetooth device the second electronic device needs to be paired before performing this step. For example, the user may inform the user, via a telephone or communication application, that there is a Bluetooth device that can be paired; or, the user can be pre-agreed with the user to need the user to assist in pairing a certain Bluetooth device at a certain time; or when the second electronic device determines that the peripheral Bluetooth devices capable of being paired exist, the user can be automatically notified through the first electronic device, such as displaying prompt information (as shown in fig. 5B) in a home life application program, or automatically sending notification information (such as a short message, a micro message and the like) to the first electronic device.

In some embodiments, after knowing that there is a mateable bluetooth device around the second electronic device, 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.
