Fig. 1a and fig. 1b are schematic diagrams of an application scenario applicable to the embodiment of the present application.

As shown in fig. 1a, the mobile device 100 and the electronic device 200 are both located in a bedroom 01, in fig. 1a, the mobile device 100 (shown in the figure by taking the mobile device 100 as a bluetooth headset) is connected with the electronic device 200 (shown in the figure by taking the electronic device 200 as a mobile phone) through bluetooth, and audio data of the electronic device 200 is played, so that a user can hear sound from the electronic device 200 through the mobile device 100; for example, it may be music or voice call content, etc.

The mobile device 100 may move with the user, and as shown in fig. 1b, the bluetooth connection between the mobile device 100 and the electronic device 200 may be disconnected due to wall blockage or increased distance as the mobile device 100 moves to the living room 02. On the other hand, the mobile device 100 moves to a position closer to the electronic device 300, and the mobile device 100 is bluetooth connected to the electronic device 300 (the electronic device 300 is shown as an example of a smart speaker). The electronic device 300 and the electronic device 200 may be connected through a local area network.

As can be seen from fig. 1a and 1b, since the mobile device 100 moves along with the user, the bluetooth connection may be disconnected from the electronic device 200, so that the user can no longer hear the sound from the electronic device 200 through the mobile device 100.

In order to solve the above technical problem, the embodiment of the present application proposes two schemes, namely scheme a and scheme B. Which will be described separately below.

(1) Scheme A

As shown in fig. 1a, the solution a further relates to an electronic device 400 (the electronic device 400 is shown as an example of an intelligent electronic device). The electronic device 400 may be understood as a central device, and the electronic device 200 and the electronic device 300 both report respective information (such as an identifier, a connection status with other devices, and a relevant status of a running service) to the electronic device 400.

In the scenario shown in fig. 1a, the electronic device 200 may report the identifier of the mobile device 100 connected to the electronic device 200 to the electronic device 400, and after receiving the information, the electronic device 400 may determine that the electronic device 200 and the mobile device 100 are in a connected state. In the scenario shown in fig. 1b, when the electronic device 200 is disconnected from the mobile device 100, the electronic device 200 reports the identifier of the mobile device 100 disconnected from the electronic device 200 to the electronic device 400, and after receiving the information, the electronic device 400 may determine that the electronic device 200 is in a disconnected state with the mobile device 100.

On the other hand, in the scenario shown in fig. 1b, after the electronic device 300 establishes connection with the mobile device 200, the identifier of the mobile device 100 connected with the electronic device 300 is reported to the electronic device 400, and after receiving the information, the electronic device 400 may determine that the electronic device 300 is in a connection state with the mobile device 100. Further, the electronic device 400 may send the identification of the mobile device 100 and the identification of the electronic device 300 with which the mobile device 100 is bluetooth connected to the electronic device 200. Furthermore, the electronic device 200 sends the audio data to the electronic device 300, and the electronic device 300 forwards the audio data to the mobile device 100, so that after the mobile device 100 is disconnected from the electronic device 200 by bluetooth, the mobile device 100 can continue to play the audio data from the electronic device 200 by the scheme, and the user can continue to listen to the sound from the electronic device 200 through the mobile device 100.

(2) Scheme B

Scenario B does not involve the electronic device 400, i.e. does not involve a central device. In this case, after the mobile device 100 establishes the bluetooth connection with the electronic device 300, the electronic device 300 may notify the electronic device 200 in a broadcast or multicast manner. The electronic device 200 then transmits the audio data to the electronic device 300, and the electronic device 300 forwards the audio data to the mobile device 100. In this way, after the mobile device 100 is disconnected from the electronic device 200 by bluetooth, the mobile device 100 can continue to play the audio data from the electronic device 200 by this scheme, so that the user continues to listen to the sound from the electronic device 200 through the mobile device 100.

The scheme a and the scheme B provided based on the above embodiment of the present application exemplify:

the service performed by the electronic device 200 is music playing, and when the mobile device 100 is connected to the electronic device 200 via bluetooth, the user can listen to music from the electronic device 200 via the mobile device 100. When the mobile device 100 is disconnected from the electronic device 200, the mobile device 100 stops the current music playing service. After the bluetooth connection between the mobile device 100 and the electronic device 300 and the connection between the electronic device 300 and the electronic device 200 are established, the electronic device 200 may continue to perform the music playing service and transmit the audio data of the music to the electronic device 300, and the electronic device 300 forwards the audio data to the mobile device 100, so that the user continues to listen to the music from the electronic device 200 through the mobile device 100.

As can be seen from this example, according to the scheme provided in the embodiment of the present application, when the mobile device 100 and the electronic device 200 are disconnected from each other by bluetooth, the electronic device 300 realizes indirect connection between the mobile device 100 and the electronic device 200, so that service connection can be realized.

The first notification message may further include indication information for indicating that the mobile phone and the headset have a bluetooth pairing relationship.

Optionally, the first notification message may further include information related to the service being performed by the mobile phone, such as a service identifier (e.g., playing music), a service status (e.g., currently being performed), and so on.

In the embodiment of the application, the smart television can be used as a central device. In a possible implementation manner, all the devices in the same local area network as the central device may register on the central device, and report some information of the devices to the central device (for example, an ID of a device having a pairing relationship with the device itself, a connection relationship between the device and another device at present, a service executed by the device itself, and the like). For example, the mobile phone, the smart television and the smart speaker are in the same local area network, the mobile phone and the smart speaker report their own information to the smart television, and the mobile phone may also report an identifier of a device (e.g., an identifier of an earphone) that is in a pairing relationship with the mobile phone to the smart television. The smart sound box can also report the identification of the equipment which has the pairing relationship with the smart sound box to the smart television.

And S303, the mobile phone sends the audio data to the earphone.

The user can operate on the handset to open a service (such as playing music) on the handset. The mobile phone receives an input from a user, and can respond to the input to start a music playing service and send audio data corresponding to music to the mobile phone, so that the user can hear the music played on the mobile phone through the earphone.

It should be noted that the user may have performed an operation before S301, such as touching a touch screen or a button of a mobile phone to start a service of playing music. In this case, after the connection is established between the headset and the handset through S301, there are two possible implementations: one is by default playing music with headphones; another is a pop-up cue, such as "is audio played through headphones? "the user operates the mobile phone, and when the user clicks" yes ", the mobile phone confirms that the audio data of the music is played through the earphone based on the input.

It should be noted that the above S302 and the above S303 have no absolute sequence, for example, S303 may be executed first, and then S302 may be executed.

S304, the earphone plays according to the received audio data.

Through S304, the user can listen to music played on the handset through the headset.

In a possible embodiment, the handset pauses playing the audio data and records a first pause mark after detecting that the handset has disconnected a point-to-point direct connection with the headset. In yet another possible embodiment, the handset continues to play the audio data through a speaker of the handset.

S307, the headset broadcasts the first request message. The first request message may include an ID of the headset.

As the earphone moves, the earphone may move to the vicinity of the smart speaker, thereby causing the smart speaker to perform S308.

S308, the smart sound box receives a first request message from the earphone.

Because the smart speaker can receive the signal of the earphone in S308, it can be reflected that the earphone is located within the range of the location area where the connection with the smart speaker can be established, and the smart speaker has the capability of establishing the connection with the earphone.

With respect to S307 and S308 above, in one possible implementation, the headset may periodically broadcast the first request message. The first request message may include an ID of the headset, and the smart speaker determines that the headset has moved into a location area range where a connection with the smart speaker can be established when receiving the information.

In another possible implementation, for the above S307 and S308, the smart speaker may discover the headset through a bluetooth discovery process. For example, the headset periodically sends a bluetooth identification message of the headset (the bluetooth identification message of the headset may include the ID of the headset). The smart speaker may periodically send a bluetooth identity packet of the smart speaker (the bluetooth identity packet of the smart speaker may include an ID of the smart speaker, and the ID of the smart speaker may be, for example, an MAC address, an equipment name, and the like of the smart speaker). When the earphone receives the bluetooth identity message of the smart speaker, a response message (the response message may be an FHS message, and the response message may be the first request message) is sent to the smart speaker, and when the smart speaker receives the response message, it is determined that the earphone is found by bluetooth.

S310, the smart speaker may send a first notification message to the smart television, where the first notification message may include an Identification (ID) of the smart speaker, an ID of the headset, and first notification information that the smart speaker and the headset establish a point-to-point direct connection.

The ID of the smart sound box may include, for example, at least one of a Media Access Control (MAC) address, a device name, a combination of an IP address and a port number, and the like.

In yet another possible implementation manner, the first notification message may further include a protocol used for indicating that the point-to-point direct connection between the smart speaker and the headset is established, for example, a bluetooth connection is used between the smart speaker and the headset, and then the first notification message may further include indication information used for indicating that the point-to-point direct connection between the smart speaker and the headset is based on the bluetooth protocol. The first notification message may further include indication information for indicating that the smart sound box and the headset have a bluetooth pairing relationship.

In yet another possible implementation manner, the first notification message may further include a Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) value of a signal (e.g., an FHS message) of the earphone received by the smart speaker, where the RSSI value may reflect a proximity between the smart speaker and the earphone, or may be described as reflecting a distance between the smart speaker and the earphone according to the RSSI value. When the RSSI value is smaller, the distance between the intelligent sound box and the earphone is farther, and when the RSSI value is larger, the distance between the intelligent sound box and the earphone is closer.

S311, after receiving the first notification message, the smart television may determine the ID of the device that has been recently disconnected from the headset in the first notification message, so as to obtain the ID of the mobile phone.

In S311, in another possible implementation manner, after receiving the first notification message, the smart television may determine IDs of one or more devices (which may include IDs of mobile phones) that have a pairing relationship with the ID of the headset in the first notification message. The smart television may send the first message to only the device (cell phone) that has been recently disconnected from the headset, or may send the first message to at least one of the one or more devices that have been determined to have a pairing relationship with the ID of the headset in the first notification message, so that one or more of the devices may share the headset through the smart sound box. After the smart television sends the first message to the multiple devices, the subsequent process executed by each device is similar to the process executed by the mobile phone, which can be referred to as relevant content in subsequent S312 to S320.

S312, the smart television sends a first message to the mobile phone according to the determined ID of the mobile phone, where the first message may include an Identification (ID) of the smart speaker, an ID of the headset, and indication information used for indicating that the smart speaker and the headset establish a point-to-point direct connection.

In yet another possible implementation, the first message may further include a protocol used for indicating that the point-to-point direct connection between the smart speaker and the earphone is established, for example, a bluetooth connection is used between the smart speaker and the earphone, and then the first message may further include indication information used for indicating that the point-to-point direct connection between the smart speaker and the earphone is based on the bluetooth protocol. The first message may further include indication information for indicating that the smart sound box and the headset have a bluetooth pairing relationship.

S313, the mobile phone receives the first message from the smart television.

S314, the mobile phone determines whether the ID of the headset in the first message is: one of the IDs of one or more headsets having a pairing relationship with the handset.

If yes, go to S315 or S316. If not, the process may end.

Specifically, if the mobile phone is connected to the smart speaker through the lan and a TCP/IP protocol is used, S315 is executed; if the mobile phone and the smart sound box are connected to the local area network and the UDP protocol is used, S316 is executed.

In one possible embodiment, the handset stores an ID of a device having a pairing relationship with the handset. The handset may have a pairing relationship with one or more devices.

It should be noted that, the pairing relationship between two devices in the embodiment of the present application may refer to that the two devices have an authentication relationship, and may be understood as that the two devices have a relationship that mutual authentication succeeds, and the pairing relationship may be, for example, a bluetooth pairing relationship based on bluetooth technology.

In yet another possible implementation manner, the handset in S314 may determine whether an audio playing service (e.g., a music playing service) is currently paused (e.g., the music on the handset is played through the headset in S303, and the music playing service is paused after the headset is disconnected from the handset); and it is determined whether the ID of the device that is used to play the audio data of the audio playing service is the same as the ID of the headphone in the first message, if it is determined that an audio playing service (e.g., a music playing service) is currently suspended and the ID of the device that is used to play the audio data of the audio playing service is the same as the ID of the headphone in the first message, S315 or S316 is executed. Otherwise, the flow ends.

In yet another possible implementation, the handset in S314 may determine whether an audio playing service is currently being executed (for example, music on the handset is played through the headset in S303, and after the headset is disconnected from the handset, the music playing service is not paused, but music is played through the speaker of the handset itself); and it is determined whether the ID of the device that is used to play the audio data of the audio playing service is the same as the ID of the headphone in the first message, if it is determined that the audio playing service is currently being executed and the ID of the device that is used to play the audio data of the audio playing service is the same as the ID of the headphone in the first message, S315 or S316 is executed. Otherwise, the process is ended.

In yet another possible embodiment, there may be a step in S314 and the foregoing S311, for example, when there is the above S311, since the smart tv only sends the first message to the device having the pairing relationship with the headset, S314 may not need to be executed. In another possible embodiment, S311 may not be included, in which case, after receiving the first notification message, the smart tv may broadcast or multicast the first message in the local area network, so that the handset receives the first message.

And determining whether the message is the first message (namely whether the preset requirement of the first message is met) in the following way, and if the message is the first message, sending audio data to the smart sound box by the mobile phone. In one possible implementation manner, after obtaining the identifier of the headset from the message, the mobile phone may determine that the message is the first message. In another possible implementation manner, after obtaining the identifier of the earphone and the identifier of the smart speaker from the message, the mobile phone may determine that the message is the first message. In yet another possible implementation manner, after obtaining, from the message, the identifier of the headset, the identifier of the smart speaker, and the indication information that the headset and the smart speaker establish a point-to-point direct connection, the mobile phone may determine that the message is the first message.

In yet another possible implementation, the notification message is used to notify the smart speaker to establish a correspondence (which may also be understood as binding two channels) between two connections (i.e., a connection between the smart speaker and the headset and a connection between the smart speaker and the mobile phone), so that after receiving data from the mobile phone, the subsequent smart speaker will forward the data to the headset.

In a possible implementation manner, after S315, the mobile phone may further send a notification message to the smart tv to notify that the smart tv mobile phone currently establishes a connection with the smart sound box. The notification message may include an ID of the smart speaker connected to the handset.

In yet another possible implementation, the notification message may further include: and at least one item of indication information or the ID of the mobile phone for indicating the connection between the mobile phone and the intelligent sound box.

In yet another possible implementation, the notification message may further include a means for instructing the handset to establish a connection with the smart speaker, such as a connection established based on Wi-Fi. Optionally, the notification message may also include information related to the service being performed by the mobile phone, such as a service identifier (e.g., playing music), a service status (e.g., currently being performed), and so on.

And S316, the mobile phone sends the audio data to the intelligent sound box.

In a possible embodiment, after the handset is disconnected from the headset in S305, after detecting that the handset is disconnected from the headset and the point-to-point direct connection is made, the handset suspends playing the audio data and records a first suspension flag. Correspondingly, in response to the first message, the mobile phone sends all or part of the audio data subsequent to the first pause mark to the smart sound box.

In another possible embodiment, after the handset is disconnected from the earphone in S305, the handset continues to play the audio data through the speaker of the handset. Correspondingly, in response to the first message, the mobile phone no longer continues to play through the speaker, and sends all or part of the unplayed content of the audio data to the smart sound box.

In one possible implementation, the audio data sent by the handset to the smart sound box may include a destination address. The destination address is the address of the intelligent sound box, and the audio data is forwarded to the earphone after the intelligent sound box receives the audio data.

In another possible implementation manner, the audio data sent by the mobile phone to the smart sound box may include two destination addresses, where one destination address is an address of the smart sound box, and the other destination address is an address of the earphone. The position of the address of the earphone in the data needs the mobile phone and the intelligent sound box to negotiate, so that the intelligent sound box can analyze the address of the earphone at a preset position.

After the mobile phone is connected with the smart sound box and the smart sound box is connected with the earphone, the application layer of the mobile phone shows that the connection is established between the mobile phone and the earphone, namely for the application layer, the mobile phone knows that the connection is established between the mobile phone and the earphone. In this case, the audio may be output through the headphones by default. The application layer is not concerned about whether the connection between the earphone and the mobile phone is directly established at the bottom layer or the indirect connection between the earphone and the mobile phone is established through the intelligent sound box.

And S317, the intelligent sound box forwards the audio data from the mobile phone to the earphone.

In one possible implementation, when the smart sound box is connected to the earphone, the received audio data may be played through the earphone by default. In yet another possible implementation, a corresponding relationship between the two connections (i.e., the connection between the smart speaker and the earphone and the connection between the smart speaker and the mobile phone) may be established based on the notification message of the mobile phone, and the audio data received from the mobile phone may be further forwarded to the earphone according to the corresponding relationship.

And S318, the earphone plays according to the received audio data.

In one possible embodiment, the earphone plays all or part of the unplayed content of the audio data after receiving all or part of the unplayed content of the audio data from the smart sound box.

After S318, the mobile phone may be disconnected from the smart sound box, and an example of disconnecting the mobile phone from the smart sound box is exemplarily shown in fig. 3a through S319 to S321.

As the earphone moves, the distance between the smart speaker and the earphone increases, and the situation shown in S319 may occur.

And S319, the smart sound box and the earphone are disconnected.

After S319, the headset may continue to broadcast the second request message to connect other devices with the headset. The second request message includes an identification of the headset and a point-to-point direct connection request.

In a possible implementation manner, after S319, the smart sound box may further send a notification message to the smart tv to notify the smart tv to: the intelligent sound box is disconnected with the earphone currently. The notification message may include an ID of the headset that is disconnected from the smart speaker.

In another possible implementation manner, the notification message may further include: and at least one item of indication information for indicating disconnection between the smart speaker and the earphone and the ID of the smart speaker.

In yet another possible implementation, the notification message may further include a means for indicating disconnection between the smart sound box and the earphone; such as a bluetooth based disconnected connection.

S320, the intelligent sound box sends a second notification message to the mobile phone, wherein the second notification message comprises indication information used for indicating disconnection between the intelligent sound box and the earphone.

In another possible implementation manner, after receiving the indication information, which is reported by the smart sound box and used for indicating that the smart sound box is disconnected from the earphone, the smart television notifies the mobile phone that the smart sound box is disconnected from the earphone.

And S321, disconnecting the mobile phone and the intelligent sound box.

In a possible implementation manner, after S321, the mobile phone may further send a notification message to the smart tv to notify that the smart tv mobile phone is currently disconnected from the smart sound box. The notification message may include the ID of the smart speaker that was disconnected from the handset.

In yet another possible implementation, the notification message may further include: and at least one item of indication information used for indicating disconnection between the mobile phone and the intelligent sound box and the ID of the mobile phone.

In yet another possible implementation, the notification message may further include a means for indicating a disconnection between the handset and the smart speaker, such as a Wi-Fi based disconnection. Optionally, the notification message may also include information related to the service being performed by the mobile phone, such as a service identifier (e.g., playing music), a service status (e.g., currently being performed), and so on.

It should be noted that, in this embodiment of the present application, in a possible implementation manner, the mobile phone and the smart speaker are located in the same lan, and the mobile phone and the smart speaker are connected through a router. The above-mentioned S315 and S321 are not essential, and S315 and S321 are shown as dotted lines in the drawing. For example, when the mobile phone is based on a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)/Internet Protocol (IP), the connection between the mobile phone and the smart speaker needs to be established through S315, and then the connection between the mobile phone and the smart speaker needs to be disconnected through S321. For another example, when the connection is established based on a User Datagram Protocol (UDP), the connection does not need to be established through S315, and when the mobile phone needs to send audio data to the smart speaker, the mobile phone can send the audio data to the smart speaker through the router; correspondingly, when the mobile phone does not need to send audio data to the smart sound box, the connection is not required to be disconnected through the S321.

In addition to the manners shown in S319 to S321, there may be other manners to disconnect the mobile phone from the smart speaker. For example, the handset receives an input indicating to stop playing audio data through the headphones. The user can operate on the mobile phone so as to disconnect the connection between the mobile phone and the smart sound box. For example, in one possible implementation, the user enters an action on the handset: the audio output mode of the mobile phone is selected to be the audio data played through the mobile phone, the mobile phone can determine that the audio data does not need to be played through the earphone based on the input, and then the mobile phone is disconnected with the intelligent sound box.

In another possible embodiment, when the connection between the handset and the smart speaker is disconnected, the handset may pause playing the audio data and record a second pause mark. Or the mobile phone can continue playing the audio data through the loudspeaker.

In the scheme shown in fig. 3a, in a possible implementation manner, when the connection is established between the smart speaker and the earphone, the connection may also be reported to the smart television. When the connection is established between the smart sound box and the mobile phone, the smart sound box and the mobile phone can also report to the smart television. When the connection between the intelligent sound box and the earphone is disconnected, the intelligent sound box can report to the intelligent television. When the connection between the intelligent sound box and the mobile phone is disconnected, the intelligent sound box can report to the intelligent television. For a specific reporting manner, reference may be made to the foregoing contents, which are not described herein again.

According to the scheme, the intelligent television is set as the central node, so that after receiving the earphone ID reported by the intelligent sound box, the mobile phone which is disconnected with the earphone recently can be found, the ID of the earphone and the ID of the intelligent sound box are sent to the mobile phone, the mobile phone is indirectly connected with the earphone through the intelligent sound box, and the audio data can be continuously played through the earphone.

Fig. 3b is a flow chart of another possible communication method based on fig. 3 a. As shown in fig. 3b, in the method, reference may be made to the content shown in fig. 3a from S301 to S308, in fig. 3a, S309 is executed after S308 to implement point-to-point direct connection between the smart speaker and the earphone, and in fig. 3b, S309 is not executed after S308, but S3101 is executed.

S3101, the smart speaker sends a first notification message to the smart tv, where the first notification message may include an Identification (ID) of the smart speaker, an ID of the earphone, and indication information indicating that the smart speaker finds the earphone.

It should be noted that S3101 differs from S310 in that, in S3101, the first notification message carries indication information indicating that the smart speaker has found the headphones.

In yet another possible implementation manner, the first notification message may further include indication information for indicating that the smart speaker and the headset have a bluetooth pairing relationship.

In yet another possible implementation manner, the first notification message may further include indication information for indicating that the smart speaker bluetooth discovers the headset.

S311, the intelligent television determines the ID of the mobile phone which is disconnected from the earphone in the first notification message recently.

S3121, the smart television sends a first message to the mobile phone according to the determined ID of the mobile phone, where the first message may include an Identification (ID) of the smart speaker, an ID of the earphone, and indication information used for indicating that the smart speaker finds the earphone.

It should be noted that, in S3121, different from S312, in S3121, the first message carries indication information for indicating that the smart sound box finds the earphone.

S3121 can refer to the content of S312, which is not described herein again.

S313, the mobile phone receives the first message from the smart television.

If yes, go to S315.

If not, the process may end.

After S315 or S316 the smart speaker performs S309 to establish a point-to-point direct connection with the headset. This is shown by way of example in which S309 is performed after S315.

As can be seen from the scheme shown in fig. 3b, in the embodiment of the present application, after finding the earphone, the smart speaker does not establish connection with the earphone first, and establishes connection with the earphone only after establishing connection with the mobile phone through S315, that is, the smart speaker establishes connection with the earphone only when determining that there is a need to establish connection with the earphone (that is, the mobile phone needs to send audio data to the earphone through the smart speaker), and does not establish connection with the earphone when there is no need to establish connection with the earphone, so that the number of times of establishing connection between the smart speaker and the earphone can be reduced, and power consumption can be reduced.

Unless otherwise specified, the steps in fig. 3b are the same as those in fig. 3a, and are not repeated here.

Based on the above, fig. 4a and 4b respectively illustrate the flow diagrams of two other communication methods, and the central device (electronic device 400) is not provided in fig. 4a and 4 b. As shown in fig. 4a, the method comprises:

S408, the smart sound box may send a first message in a broadcast or multicast manner, where the first message includes an ID of an earphone connected to the smart sound box.

In a possible implementation manner, the first message may include an ID of the earphone, an ID of the smart speaker, and indication information for indicating that a connection between the smart speaker and the earphone is established.

In S408, the smart sound box may broadcast or multicast the first message within the lan. The first message may include a smart speaker Identification (ID), a headset ID, and indication information indicating that the smart speaker and the headset establish a point-to-point direct connection.

In yet another possible embodiment, the first message may further include a Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) value of a signal (e.g., an FHS message) of the earphone received by the smart speaker, where the RSSI value may reflect a proximity between the smart speaker and the earphone, or may be described as reflecting a distance between the smart speaker and the earphone through the RSSI value. When the RSSI value is smaller, the distance between the intelligent sound box and the earphone is farther, and when the RSSI value is larger, the distance between the intelligent sound box and the earphone is closer.

In this case, when the handset and the smart speaker are both in a lan, the handset may receive the first message.

In another possible implementation, the smart sound box may find out the identities of the devices having an authentication relationship with the headset and send a first message to one or more of the devices (including a cell phone) having an authentication relationship with the headset. The smart speaker may be configured with an identifier of an electronic device having an authentication relationship with the headset in advance, or the smart speaker may query the central device (for example, the electronic device 400) for the identifier of the electronic device having the authentication relationship with the headset.

S409, the mobile phone receives a first message from the smart television.

S410, the mobile phone determines whether the ID of the headset in the first message is: one of the IDs of one or more headsets having a pairing relationship with the handset.

And S413, the intelligent sound box forwards the audio data from the mobile phone to the earphone.

This step can be referred to as S317, and is not described herein again.

And S414, the earphone plays according to the received audio data.

This step can be referred to as the aforementioned step S318, and is not described herein again.

And S416, the intelligent sound box sends a second notification message to the mobile phone, wherein the second notification message comprises indication information used for indicating disconnection between the intelligent sound box and the earphone.

This step can be referred to as S320, which is not described herein.

And S417, disconnecting the mobile phone and the intelligent sound box.

This step can be referred to as S321, and is not described herein.

In addition to the manners shown in S415 to S417, there may be other manners to disconnect the handset from the smart speaker. For example, the handset receives an input indicating to stop playing audio data through the headset. The user can operate on the mobile phone so as to disconnect the connection between the mobile phone and the smart sound box. For example, in one possible implementation, the user enters an action on the handset: the audio output mode of the mobile phone is selected to be the audio data played through the mobile phone, the mobile phone can determine that the audio data does not need to be played through the earphone based on the input, and then the mobile phone is disconnected with the intelligent sound box.

It should be noted that, in this embodiment of the present application, in a possible implementation manner, the mobile phone and the smart speaker are located in the same lan, and the mobile phone and the smart speaker are connected through a router. The above-mentioned S411 and S417 are not essential, and S411 and S417 are shown as dotted lines in the drawing. For the reason, reference may be made to the related contents of S315 and S321, which are not described herein again.

According to the scheme, after the smart sound box receives the first request message of the earphone, the first message can be sent out in a broadcasting or multicasting mode, after the mobile phone receives the first message, the ID of the earphone in the first message is determined to be the ID of one earphone which has a pairing relation with the mobile phone, the mobile phone establishes indirect connection with the earphone through the smart sound box, and the audio data can be continuously played through the earphone.

Fig. 4b is a flowchart illustrating another possible communication method based on fig. 4 a. As shown in fig. 4b, in the method, reference may be made to the content shown in fig. 4a for S401 to S406, in fig. 4a, S407 is executed after S406 to implement point-to-point direct connection between the smart speaker and the earphone, and in fig. 4b, S407 is not executed after S406, but S4081 is executed.

S4081, the smart speaker broadcasts or multicasts a first message, where the first message includes an ID of the earphone, an ID of the smart speaker, and indication information used to indicate that the smart speaker finds the earphone.

It should be noted that S4081 differs from S408 in that, in S4081, the first message carries indication information for indicating that the smart speaker has found the earphone.

In a possible implementation manner, the first message may carry indication information for indicating that the smart speaker receives the first request message of the earphone, and an ID of the earphone, an ID of the smart speaker, and the like. To inform other devices that the headset is in a location area where a connection can be established with the smart speaker.

S409, the mobile phone receives a first message from the intelligent sound box. The first message may include a smart speaker Identification (ID), a headset ID, and indication information indicating that the smart speaker found a headset.

In yet another possible implementation manner, the first message may further include indication information for indicating that the smart speaker and the headset have a bluetooth pairing relationship.

If yes, go to S411.

If not, the process may end.

After S411 the smart speaker performs S407 to establish a point-to-point direct connection with the headset.

As can be seen from the scheme shown in fig. 4b, in the embodiment of the present application, after finding the earphone, the smart speaker does not establish connection with the earphone first, and establishes connection with the earphone only after establishing connection with the mobile phone through S415, that is, the smart speaker establishes connection with the earphone only when it is determined that there is a need to establish connection with the earphone (i.e., the mobile phone needs to send audio data to the earphone through the smart speaker), and does not establish connection with the earphone when there is no need to establish connection with the earphone, so that the number of times of establishing connection between the smart speaker and the earphone can be reduced, and power consumption can be reduced.

Without specific description, the related contents of each step in fig. 4b are the same as the related contents of each step in fig. 4a, and are not repeated herein.

Based on the foregoing, taking the bluetooth technology-based establishment of a point-to-point direct connection between a handset and a headset as an example, fig. 5 exemplarily shows a flow of a method for establishing a point-to-point direct connection between a handset and a headset in a communication method provided by an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 5, the method includes:

s3011, the earphone sends a Bluetooth identity message of the earphone.

S3012, the mobile phone receives the Bluetooth identity message of the earphone and sends the Bluetooth identity message of the mobile phone as a response.

S3013, the mobile phone sends a bluetooth frequency synchronization (FHS) message.

Through S3011 to S3013, the handset and the headset may perform clock synchronization and baseband connection based on the bluetooth identity message and the FHS message of each other, so as to convert the bluetooth communication state from the connectable state to the connected state.

In one possible embodiment, bluetooth devices (devices with bluetooth modules, such as cell phones and headsets) quickly acquire time and frequency synchronization of the devices by selecting a frequency hopping frequency within a fixed frequency band or by being determined by the queried device address, exchanging handshaking information time and address quickly, before establishing a connection. After the connection is established, the two sides of the equipment change the frequency according to the channel hopping sequence, so that the frequency hopping frequency presents a random characteristic.

The connection between two bluetooth devices may be initiated by an inquiring device (which may be a headset, for example) sending an inquiry message to search for other devices in the vicinity. Any other bluetooth device (e.g., handset) listening by conducting an inquiry scan recognizes this inquiry message and responds. The response to the inquiry message may be a Frequency Hopping Synchronization (FHS) packet that contains all the information needed by the inquiring device to address the responding device. This information includes the clock value of the sender (i.e., the responding device), the correct device access code of the sender, and a device class (CoD) field. The FHS packet contains more information than mentioned here. In addition, the access code contains the Lower Address Part (LAP) and the Upper Address Part (UAP) of the sender's bluetooth device address (BD _ ADDR), which is a unique 48-bit IEEE address that is electronically engraved on each bluetooth device.

S3014, performing Bluetooth Link Manager Protocol (LMP) flow interaction between the mobile phone and the headset.

The link manager in each bluetooth device may negotiate the available capabilities with the bluetooth air interface via a link manager protocol. These capabilities may include bandwidth allocated for the class of service required to support data traffic, and periodic reservation of bandwidth obtained to support audio traffic. The LMP is responsible for the establishment of connections between bluetooth devices. When the Bluetooth equipment transmits data, the LMP negotiates and controls the size of a data packet. The LMP also manages the consumption of power and controls the state of the bluetooth devices. The LMP also has the function of generating keys required for authentication and encryption.

S3015, the mobile phone queries a service that can be supported by the headset based on a bluetooth Service Discovery Protocol (SDP).

The service plays a crucial role in the bluetooth framework, which is the basis for all user modes. In a bluetooth wireless communication network that changes frequently, any two or more devices may suddenly begin communicating over the bluetooth link. If services are to be provided to each other using these devices, a more flexible method is needed to find the location of these services. If a communication channel is established, the next step in the communication of a device should be to find the services that the device can use. SDP may define a standard method so that certain bluetooth devices can discover and learn about the services offered by other devices. The bluetooth service discovery protocol is specifically designed for use in the context of bluetooth wireless communications, and can perform its functions in an efficient and optimal manner.

In one possible implementation, the handset transmits the traffic data over the bluetooth connection according to the services supported by the headset. For example, the headphones may support listening to music services, such as an advanced audio distribution profile (A2 DP) service. The user can listen to the music played on the mobile phone through the earphone. Alternatively, it can also be described as: the headset connects to the bluetooth service according to the service supported by the headset, for example, the A2DP service may be connected, or the bluetooth connection may be performed based on the bluetooth A2DP service, thereby providing the music service to the user.

The process of establishing the bluetooth connection between the smart speaker and the earphone can refer to the content shown in fig. 5, and is not described again.

Based on the above, the bluetooth connection between the mobile phone and the headset is taken as an example. Fig. 6 exemplarily shows a flow of disconnecting the bluetooth connection between the handset and the headset in the communication method provided by the embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 6, the method includes:

s3051, after the Bluetooth connection is established between the mobile phone and the earphone, the mobile phone periodically sends Bluetooth PULL messages through the Bluetooth connection.

The earphone responds a NULL message through the Bluetooth connection aiming at each received PULL message. The mobile phone periodically sends Bluetooth PULL messages, and the earphone sends Bluetooth NULL messages as responses after receiving the Bluetooth PULL messages. If the Bluetooth connection between the mobile phone and the earphone fails, the Bluetooth PULL message sent by the mobile phone is lost, the earphone cannot receive the Bluetooth PULL message, and the earphone cannot respond to the Bluetooth NULL message. The mobile phone can judge whether the Bluetooth connection is disconnected or not through S3052. The headset may determine whether the bluetooth connection is disconnected through S3054.

S3052, the mobile phone judges whether the condition that the NULL message is not received within the first preset time length is met. If yes, go to S3053. If not, the Bluetooth connection is not disconnected.

S3053, the mobile phone determines that the Bluetooth connection is disconnected.

S3054, the earphone judges whether the condition that the PULL message is not received within the second preset time length is met. If yes, go to S3055. If not, the Bluetooth connection is not disconnected. The second preset time period may be equal to or different from the first preset time period.

S3055, the earphone determines that the Bluetooth connection is disconnected.

The process of disconnecting the bluetooth connection between the smart speaker and the earphone can be referred to the content shown in fig. 6, and is not described again.

Based on the foregoing, fig. 7 exemplarily shows a flow of establishing a connection between a mobile phone and a smart speaker in a communication method provided by an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 7, the process includes:

s3151, the mobile phone sends a connection establishment request to the smart sound box.

S3152, the smart sound box sends connection establishment acceptance to the mobile phone.

S3153, the mobile phone sends connection establishment completion to the intelligent sound box.

In one possible implementation, the handset may establish a socket connection according to the IP address, port number, etc. of the smart speaker. And the smart speaker can listen to a connection establishment request from other equipment through a server of a socket (socket). S3151 to S3153 may be implemented by a three-way handshake of a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), for example, S3151 is a first packet of the TCP three-way handshake (for example, the transmission sequence number may be 200, and the flag bit may be SYN ═ 1). S3152 may be a second packet of the TCP three-way handshake responded by the smart speaker (for example, the sending sequence number may be 201, and the flag bit may be SYN ═ 1, and ACK ═ 1). S3153 may be the third packet of the TCP three-way handshake responded by the handset (for example, the transmission sequence number may be 501, and the flag bit may be ACK ═ 1).

Fig. 8 exemplarily shows a flow of disconnection between the handset and the smart speaker in the communication method provided by the embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 8, the method includes:

and S3211, the mobile phone sends a first connection disconnection request to the smart sound box.

And S3212, the smart sound box sends a first connection disconnection response to the mobile phone.

And S3213, the smart sound box sends a second disconnection request to the mobile phone.

And S3214, the mobile phone sends a second disconnection response to the smart sound box.

In one possible embodiment, after determining to disconnect from the smart speaker, the mobile phone may disconnect from the smart speaker through a TCP four-waving procedure, for example, the above S3211 is the first packet of TCP four-waving sent by the mobile phone (for example, the sending sequence number may be 200; the acknowledgement sequence number: 500; the flag bit may be ACK ═ 1, and FIN ═ 1). S3212 may be a second packet of TCP four-wave with smart speaker response (for example, the sending sequence number may be 500; the acknowledgement sequence number is 201; and the flag bit may be ACK ═ 1). S3213 may be the third packet of the TCP four-time waving transmitted by the smart speaker (for example, the transmission sequence number may be 501; the flag bit may be ACK-1, and the FTN-1). S3214 may be the fourth packet of TCP four-wave in response from the mobile phone (e.g., the transmission sequence number may be 201; the acknowledgement sequence number is 502; and the flag bit may be ACK ═ 1).

Fig. 9 illustrates an architecture of an end-to-end communication model across physical networks. As shown in fig. 9, at the mobile phone side, the audio data of the mobile phone may sequentially pass through the application layer, the network layer, the link layer, and the physical layer, and then be sent to the router.

After receiving the audio data, the router transmits the audio data to the link layer from the physical layer, and forwards the audio data at the link layer according to the IP address and the port of the intelligent sound box.

After the intelligent sound box receives the audio data, the two implementation modes are provided, in the first mode, the intelligent sound box transmits the audio data to a link layer from a physical layer, and the audio data is forwarded according to an IP address and a port of the earphone at the link layer. In the second mode, the smart sound box transmits the audio data from the physical layer to the link layer, transmits the audio data from the link layer to the network layer, analyzes the audio data in the network layer, transmits the audio data to the link layer, transmits the audio data to the physical layer from the link layer, and then transmits the audio data to the earphone. That is to say, after receiving the audio data, the smart speaker may complete data transmission at the link layer, or may complete data transmission at the network layer, and a part of the steps in the two manners is illustrated by a dotted line in the figure.

After receiving the audio data, the earphone sequentially passes through a physical layer, a link layer and a network layer and then reaches an application layer, and then the audio data is played.
