Description

The technical field to which the invention relates

The present invention relates to the field of communication technologies, and in particular to a communication method of a wearable device, a communication system and a related device.

State of the art

Currently, a wearable device such as a smartwatch or bracelet usually communicates with an endpoint device such as a mobile phone via Bluetooth in order to implement features such as event notifications or information synchronization. For example, when there is an incoming call to a mobile phone, the smart watch can be notified using Bluetooth communication and then the smart watch will notify about the incoming call. The wearable device is user-friendly and therefore attracting the attention of an increasing number of hardware manufacturers.

At home, the wearable device and the terminal device can be located in different locations. For example, the mobile phone is in the bedroom and the wearer is in the living room; in this case, the mobile phone is far from the bracelet; Since the Bluetooth coverage area is relatively small, the mobile phone cannot communicate with the bracelet using Bluetooth, so the mobile phone and wearable device cannot communicate.

It is clear that the described embodiments of the invention are some rather than all of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments of the invention obtained by a person skilled in the art without creative effort based on the described embodiments of the present invention should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

In one embodiment, the present invention provides a method for communicating a wearable device that is generally useful in communication systems as shown in FIG. 1a and FIG. 1b. The communication system shown in FIG. 1a contains a user device, a wearable device, and a network connection device. A user device can be a device that can access a network using a network connection device, and that is a device such as a mobile phone, tablet, or personal computer. The wearable device can be a device that can be used to pair with a user device (eg, can be the smart bracelet of FIG. 1), and which can be a smart bracelet or smart watch. The network connection device can be a device that has a network connection function, that is, it can be a device such as a home Wi-Fi ("Wireless Quality") router and gateway. In one embodiment of the present invention, the network connection device may require Bluetooth functionality.

In general, the communication connection between the user device and the wearable device can be established directly, for example, it can be a Bluetooth communication connection. The user device can send a message to the wearable device for execution. For example, when there is an incoming call to the user device, it sends a message to the wearable device and the wearable device indicates the incoming call to the user device.

However, in this embodiment, when the communication connection between the user device and the wearable device is disconnected for reasons such as distance, an indirect communication connection can be established between the user device and the wearable device using the network connection device. More specifically, a communication connection is established, that is, a connection conforming to a protocol and which is a connection between a network connection device and a user device, for example, a communication connection conforming to the Universal Plug and Play Protocol (UPnP), or a communication connection conforming to a protocol Wi-Fi. A communication connection conforming to the Bluetooth protocol is established between a network connection device and a wearable device. A message directed by a user device to a wearable device may not be directly directed to a wearable device using a network connection device.

The communication system shown in FIG. 1b contains a user device, a network connection device, a wearable device and at least one bridge device. The connection between the user device and the network connection device refers to the connection between the user device and the network connection device of FIG. 1a. Each bridge device can be connected to the network connection device using a power cable, a communication connection, i.e. a Bluetooth-compliant connection, can be established between the network connection device and the wearable device using any bridge device, so that the network connection device can conclude information sent by the user device to the Bluetooth packet, and transmit the Bluetooth packet to the bridge device using the power cable protocol, and then the bridge device transmits the Bluetooth packet to the wearable device.

The main functions of the bridge device are to provide coverage with the communication between the network connection device and the wearable device, and to ensure that the message directed by the network connection device can be delivered to the wearable device.

The communication method of the wearable device in this embodiment of the present invention is carried out by the network connection device in the system shown in FIG. 1a or FIG. 1b. FIG. 2 shows a block diagram containing the following.

Step 101: It is determined that the second Bluetooth connection between the user device and the wearable device is disconnected, and a first Bluetooth connection is established between the network connection device on the network to which the user device belongs and the wearable device.

In general, a second Bluetooth connection is established between the user device and the wearable device, and the user device can directly communicate with the wearable device. If the second Bluetooth connection is disconnected, in this embodiment, in order to realize that the user device does not directly communicate with the wearable device using the network connection device, the network connection device separately establishes a communication connection with the wearable device and a communication connection with the user device. For a communication connection between the network connection device and the user device, if the user device accesses the network using the network connection device, a communication connection is established between the network connection device and the user device. For a communication communication connection between the network connection device and the wearable device, the establishment of the first Bluetooth connection between the network connection device and the wearable device can be started in the following cases.

(1) When the user device detects that the second Bluetooth connection with the wearable device has been disconnected, or when the user device detects that the third communication connection with the network connection device has been established, the user device can directly send a start command to the user's network connection device, while the start command are used to instruct to establish the first Bluetooth connection between the network connection device and the wearable device. Upon receiving a start command directed by the user device, the network connection device can determine that the second Bluetooth connection between the user device and the wearable has been disconnected, and can actively establish a first Bluetooth connection with the wearable device. More specifically, upon receiving the trigger command, the network connection device sends a Bluetooth paging message. When the disconnection of the second Bluetooth connection with the user device is detected, the wearable device determines whether a Bluetooth paging message directed by the network connection device can be received. Alternatively, if the second Bluetooth connection between the wearable device and the user device is not disconnected, the wearable device still determines in real time whether a Bluetooth paging message directed by the network connection device has been received; if a Bluetooth paging message is received, a Bluetooth paging response is sent to the network connection device; if the network connection device receives a Bluetooth paging response from the wearable device, a first Bluetooth connection is established with the wearable device.

(2) After finding the Bluetooth signal of the wearable device, the network connection device determines that the second Bluetooth connection between the user device and the wearable device has been disconnected. More specifically, the network connection device can periodically send a Bluetooth paging message. When the disconnection of the second Bluetooth connection with the user device is detected, the wearable device determines whether a Bluetooth paging message directed by the network connection device can be received. Alternatively, if the second Bluetooth connection between the wearable device and the user device is not disconnected, the wearable device still determines in real time whether a Bluetooth paging message has been received; if a Bluetooth paging message is received, a Bluetooth paging response is sent to the network connection device; if the network connection device receives a Bluetooth paging response from the wearable device, a first Bluetooth connection is established with the wearable device.

(3) After finding the Bluetooth signal of the wearable device, the network connection device sends a confirmation request message to the user device, and the confirmation request message is used to request the user device to determine whether to establish a first Bluetooth connection between the network connection device and the wearable device. If a confirmation message returned by the user device is received, the network connection device determines that the second Bluetooth connection between the user device and the wearable device is disconnected, and then establishes a first Bluetooth connection with the wearable device; if a non-acknowledgment message returned by the user device is received, the first Bluetooth connection may not be established.

Note that in the second case, after the network connection device finds the Bluetooth signal of the wearable device and determines the second Bluetooth connection, the first Bluetooth connection is established; or after the network connection device finds the Bluetooth signal of the wearable device, first establish a first Bluetooth connection and then the user device disconnects the second Bluetooth connection to determine that the second Bluetooth connection is disconnected.

It should be noted that in these two cases, the communication systems shown in FIG. 1a and FIG. 1b, the first Bluetooth connections established between the network connection device and the wearable device differ. In the system shown in FIG. 1a, establish a direct first Bluetooth connection between the network connection device and the wearable device; however, in the system shown in FIG. 1b, an indirect first Bluetooth connection is established between the network connection device and the wearable device using a bridge device that communicates with the network connection device.

It should also be noted that, if desired, after establishing the first Bluetooth connection between the network connection device and the wearable device, the network connection device can optionally send a notification message to the user device, the notification message being used to notify the user device that the first connection has been established. Bluetooth between the network connection device and the wearable device so that the user device can send the first information to the wearable device using the network connection device.

Step 102: The network connection device receives the first information sent by the user device through the third communication connection to the network connection device, the user device forwards the first information to the network connection device through the third communication connection when the second Bluetooth connection between the user device and the wearable is disconnected ...

Step 103: The network connection device sends the first information to the wearable device via the first Bluetooth connection established in step 101.

After establishing the first Bluetooth connection between the network connection device and the wearable device, the user device may first send to the network connection device the first information to be sent to the wearable device, and then the network connection device sends the first information to the wearable device. The first information can be content, command, data, and the like that the user device sends to the wearable device. The format of the first information directed by the user device to the network connection device may be the same or different from the format of the first information directed by the network connection device to the wearable device. When the user device sends the first information to the network connection device, the communication protocol format supported by the third communication connection can be used; and when the network connection device sends the first information to the wearable device, they mainly use the Bluetooth protocol format. Therefore, in a particular operation, the network connection device can convert the first information in the communication protocol format supported by the third communication connection into the first information in the Bluetooth protocol format.

More specifically, the third communication connection between the network connection device and the user device may be a communication connection that supports the Internet Protocol (IP), so that the network connection device can receive the first information directed by the user device using the Internet protocol. More specifically, the network connection device can receive the first information, which is in the Bluetooth protocol format and which is carried in the payload of the IP packet, and can send the first information to the wearable device via the first Bluetooth connection; or the network connection device can receive the first information, which is in the upper layer protocol format and which is carried in the IP packet, and send the first information to the wearable device via the first Bluetooth connection. Higher layer protocols are, but are not limited to: UPnP protocol; Digital Home Networking Alliance (DLNA) protocol; Reasonable Grouping Protocol (IGRS) and Resource Sharing, also called IGRS; Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP); transmission control protocol (TCP); and protocol (UDP) transmission of datagrams. The network connection device converts the first information in the higher layer protocol format into the first information in the Bluetooth protocol format.

The third communication connection can optionally be a communication connection that supports the universal plug and play protocol. The network connection device may receive the first UPnP information sent by the user device, or it may convert the first UPnP information into the first Bluetooth protocol information, and then send the first information to the wearable device via the first Bluetooth connection.

The third communication connection can optionally be a connection that supports the Wi-Fi protocol. The network connection device can receive the first information, which is represented in the Bluetooth protocol format and which is carried in the payload of the Wi-Fi media access control (MAC) frame, and can send the first information to the wearable device via the first Bluetooth connection; or the network connection device can receive the first information, which is in the upper layer protocol format and which is directed by the user device using Wi-Fi, and can convert the first information in the higher layer protocol format to the first information in the Bluetooth protocol format, and can send the first information to the wearable device via the first Bluetooth connection. Higher layer protocols are, but are not limited to, UPnP, DLNA, IGRS, HTTP, TCP, UDP, and IP.

It should be noted that when the network connection device sends first information via the first Bluetooth connection for the system shown in FIG. 1a, the network connection device can directly send the first information to the wearable device; for the system shown in FIG. 1b, a communication connection conforming to the Bluetooth protocol can be established between the network connection device and the wearable device using any bridge device, so that the network connection device can enclose the information sent by the user device into a Bluetooth packet and transmit the Bluetooth packet to the bridge device. using the power cable protocol and then the bridge device sends the Bluetooth packet to the wearable device in the communication range of the bridge device.

Further, for the second information actively directed by the wearable device to the user device, the network connection device receives the second information that the wearable device sends through the first Bluetooth connection, the second information may be a notification or data that is directed by the wearable device to the user device, information, which is reported by the wearable device to the user device, or the like. The network connection device can send the second information to the user device via a third communication connection with the user device. The format of the second information directed by the wearable device to the network connection device may be the same or different from the format of the second information directed by the network connection device to the user device.

It can be learned that in the method of this embodiment, if the second Bluetooth connection between the user device and the wearable is disconnected, a first Bluetooth connection is established between the network connection device and the wearable device, and the network connection device can send the first information to the wearable device via the first Bluetooth connection. directed by the user device. Thus, the indirect communication between the user device and the wearable device is realized using a network connection device, so that the user device and the wearable device are not limited in the communication range.

It should be noted that in the communication method in steps 101-103, the user device does not directly communicate with the wearable device using the network connection device on the network to which the user device belongs. In one case, more specifically, under any of the conditions below, the first Bluetooth connection between the network connection device and the wearable device is disconnected and the user device can directly communicate with the wearable device.

The network connection device receives a first notification message sent by the user device, the first notification message being used to instruct the network connection device to release the first Bluetooth connection between the network connection device and the wearable device; and the third communication connection between the network connection device and the user device is disconnected.

It should be further noted that the communication method in steps 101-103 indicates the communication that is performed after configuring each device in the system shown in FIG. 1a or FIG. 1b. Therefore, prior to step 101, the user device further configures the network connection device. More specifically, prior to step 101, the network connection device may further perform the configuration step by any of the methods described below. FIG. 3 shows a block diagram containing the following.

(1) The user device is directly configuring.

Step 104: The network connection device receives first configuration information sent by the user device, the first configuration information comprising a Bluetooth address of the wearable device and a key for communication between the network connection device and the wearable device; and may further comprise information such as an interface relationship between the user device and the wearable device. The network connection device stores the first configuration information, the network connection device uses the first configuration information to send the first information to the wearable device via the first Bluetooth connection. If desired, if the first configuration information does not contain an interface relationship between the user device and the wearable device, the network connection device can generate an interface relationship between the user device and the wearable device in accordance with the first configuration information. Thus, when information is transferred between the network connection device and the wearable device, the network connection device can establish a first Bluetooth connection according to the first configuration information and transmit the said information via the first Bluetooth connection.

Further, the network connection device can further receive second configuration information directed by the user device, and the second configuration information contains Bluetooth service information that the wearable device supports, such as Bluetooth specification information or a Bluetooth protocol command. Therefore, the network connection device can establish a mapping relationship between the Bluetooth service information and the service information that is supported by the third communication connection, and can maintain the mapping relationship. When sending the first information to the wearable device, the network connection device can transform, according to the mapping relationship, the first information sent through the third communication connection into the first information sent through the first Bluetooth connection, and can send the first information to the wearable device through the first connection Bluetooth.

When establishing a mapping relationship, the network connection device basically establishes a correspondence between each piece of information from the Bluetooth service information and each piece of information from the service information supported by the third communication connection, for example, establishes a mapping between a command or message corresponding to the Bluetooth protocol and a command or a message conforming to the protocol supported by the third communication connection.

(2) The user device does not directly configure so that the network connection device actively performs Bluetooth pairing with the wearable device.

Step 105: The network connection device receives a procedure request message sent by the user device, the procedure request message is used to request the network connection device to perform a Bluetooth pairing procedure with the wearable device; and the network connection device performs a Bluetooth pairing procedure with the wearable device in accordance with the procedure request message. That is, the network connection device actively sends a Bluetooth pairing request to the wearable device. When pairing is successful, the network connection device can save information about the wearable device, including information such as Bluetooth address and key. Further, the network connection device develops an interface relationship between the user device and the wearable device.

(3) The user device does not directly configure so that the network connection device passively agrees to be paired with the wearable device.

Step 106: The network connection device receives a mode request message sent by the user device, the mode request message is used to request the network connection device to turn on the Bluetooth pairing mode; and the network connection device turns on the Bluetooth pairing mode according to the mode request message to passively accept the Bluetooth pairing with the wearable device. That is, the network connection device is set to a state where it can be found by another Bluetooth device within a certain period of time and when it can satisfy the pairing request. When pairing is successful, the network connection device can save information about the wearable device, including information such as Bluetooth address and key. Further, the network connection device develops an interface relationship between the user device and the wearable device.

The function of the pairing relationship between the user device and the wearable device includes the following. The user device first sends to the network connection device the first information to be directed to the wearable device, and the network connection device sends the first information to the corresponding wearable device in accordance with the pairing relationship.

In one embodiment, the present invention further provides another method for communicating a wearable device, which may generally be used in a communication system as shown in FIG. 1a or FIG. 1b. The method of this embodiment of the invention is a method performed by a user device in said system. The block diagram shown in FIG. 4 contains the following.

Step 201: The user device determines that the second Bluetooth connection between the user device and the wearable has been released. In general, the communication connection between a user device and a wearable device is a Bluetooth communication connection. When the user device does not find a Bluetooth signal of the wearable device or the detected Bluetooth signal level of the wearable device is less than a certain threshold, it is determined that the second Bluetooth connection between the user device and the wearable device is disconnected. Alternatively, in another case, when it is determined that a third communication connection has been established with a network connection device on the network to which the user device belongs, the user device may actively release the second Bluetooth connection to the wearable device. Therefore, when a third communication connection is established between the user device and the network connection device, it is determined that the second Bluetooth connection with the wearable device has been disconnected.

It should be understood that after the user device detects that the second Bluetooth connection to the wearable has been disconnected, if a first Bluetooth connection is established between the network connection device and the wearable device, the user device may perform step 202. More specifically.

The user device can actively prompt the network connection device to establish the first Bluetooth connection with the wearable device. More specifically, the user device can send a start command to the network connection device, the start command is used to instruct to establish a first Bluetooth connection between the network connection device and the wearable device, so that the user device may not directly communicate with the wearable device using the network connection device. connections. Therefore, the user device considers that a first Bluetooth connection has been established between the network connection device and the wearable device and performs subsequent step 202. Otherwise, the establishment of the first Bluetooth connection between the network connection device and the wearable device is triggered by the wearable device. After establishing the first Bluetooth connection with the wearable device, the network connection device can send a push message to the user device, and the push message is used to notify the user device that the first Bluetooth connection between the network connection device and the wearable device has been established, so that the user device can perform subsequent step 202 in accordance with the push message. When the user device actively prompts the network connection device to establish a first Bluetooth connection with the wearable device, after the user device sends a trigger command, the user device further receives a push message returned by the network connection device, and then the user device may perform subsequent step 202.

Step 202. When the user device contains information to be sent to the wearable device, the user device directs the first information to the network connection device via a third communication connection with the network connection device on the network to which the user device belongs, so that the network connection device can forward the first information to the wearable device via the first Bluetooth connection.

More specifically, the third communication connection between the network connection device and the user device can maintain a connection in accordance with the Internet Protocol (IP), so that the user device can send the first information to the network connection device using the Internet protocol. More specifically, the first information in the Bluetooth protocol format is transported in the payload of the IP packet and forwarded to the network connection device; or the user device sends the first information in the upper layer protocol format to the network connection device using an IP packet, and the higher layer protocols are, but are not limited to, UPnP, DLNA, IGRS, HTTP and TCP.

The third communication connection may further be a connection that supports the universal plug and play protocol, and the user device sends the first information to the network connection device using the universal plug and play protocol. More specifically, the first information in the UPnP protocol format is sent to the network connection device. Alternatively, the third communication connection may be a connection that supports the Wi-Fi protocol, and the user device sends the first information to the network connection device using the Wi-Fi protocol. More specifically, the first information in the Bluetooth protocol format is transported in the payload of the Wi-Fi MAC frame and forwarded to the network connection device; or the first information in the higher layer protocol format is sent to the network connection device using Wi-Fi, and the higher layer protocols are UPnP protocol, DLNA protocol, IGRS, HTTP, TCP, UDP and IP, among others.

The first information directed by the user device may be content, command, data, and the like that the user device sends to the wearable device, and the format of the first information directed by the user device to the network connection device may be the same or different from the format of the first information directed to the user device. network connection device to the wearable device. When the user device sends the first information to the network connection device, the communication protocol format supported by the third communication connection can be used; and when the network connection device sends the first information to the wearable device, they mainly use the Bluetooth protocol format. Therefore, in a particular operation, the network connection device can convert the first information in the communication protocol format supported by the third communication connection into the first information in the Bluetooth protocol format. The method, in particular carried out by the network connection device, is discussed in the above description of this embodiment of the invention. Details will not be described here.

Further, the user device can receive, using the network connection device, the second information directed by the wearable device. The network connection device receives second information that is directed by the wearable device via a first Bluetooth connection, the second information may be notification or data that is directed by the wearable device to the user device, information that the wearable device reports to the user device, or the like. The network connection device sends the second information to the user device through a third communication connection with the user device. The format of the second information directed by the wearable device to the network connection device may be the same or different from the format of the second information directed by the network connection device to the user device.

Further, when any of the conditions occurs, the user device can establish a second Bluetooth connection with the wearable device, and the user device sends the first information to the wearable device via the second Bluetooth connection.

The user device finds the Bluetooth signal of the wearable device. For example, the user device detects that the Bluetooth signal strength of the wearable device reaches a certain threshold.

After disconnecting the third communication connection between the user device and the network connection device, the user device finds the Bluetooth signal of the wearable device.

After the user device has received the second notification message directed by the network connection device, and the second notification message is used to notify the user device of the disconnection of the first Bluetooth connection between the network connection device and the wearable device, the user device finds a Bluetooth signal of the wearable device.

When the user device finds a Bluetooth signal of the wearable device and when the user device does not communicate with the wearable device using the network connection device at the set time, the user device sends a request to the network connection device to disconnect the first Bluetooth connection.

It can be understood that in the method of this embodiment, if the second Bluetooth connection between the user device and the wearable is disconnected, then a first Bluetooth connection can be established between some network connection device for the user device and the wearable. When the user device detects that the second Bluetooth connection with the wearable device has been disconnected, the user device can send the first information to the wearable device using the network connection device. Thus, the indirect communication between the user equipment and the wearable device is realized using a network connection device, so that the user equipment and the wearable device can communicate with each other without being limited by the communication range.

It should be understood that the communication method in steps 201 and 202 is a communication method that is used after configuring devices in the communication system; however, prior to step 201, the user device may separately configure the wearable device and the network connection device, specifically as follows.

(1) The user device directly and separately configures, for the network connection device and the wearable device, the information required for the first Bluetooth communication between the network connection device and the wearable device.

The user device may send the first configuration information to the network connection device, the first configuration information comprising a Bluetooth address of the wearable device and a key for performing Bluetooth communication between the network connection device and the wearable device; and may further comprise an interface relationship between the user device and the wearable device such that the network connection device stores the first configuration information. And, the user device may send the third configuration information to the wearable device, the third configuration information containing the Bluetooth address of the network connection device, and may further include information such as a key for communicating between the network connection device and the wearable device.

Further, the user device may further forward the second configuration information to the network connection device, the second configuration information comprising Bluetooth service information that the wearable device supports. Therefore, the network connection device can establish, according to the second configuration information, a mapping relationship between the Bluetooth service information and the service information that is supported by the third communication connection, and can store the mapping relationship.

(2) The user device indirectly and separately configures the function of the network connection device and the function of the wearable device, so that the network connection device can actively initiate the Bluetooth pairing procedure with the wearable device, and the wearable device can be passively paired with the network connection device.

The user device sends a mode request message to the wearable device, and the mode request message is used to request the wearable device to turn on the Bluetooth pairing mode; that is, the wearable device is set to a state where it can be found by another Bluetooth device within a certain period of time and the wearable device can satisfy the pairing request. The user device sends a procedure request message to the network connection device, and the procedure request message is used to request the network connection device to enable Bluetooth pairing with the wearable device.

Alternatively, the user device sends a procedure request message only to the network connection device, and the procedure request message is used to request the network connection device to enable the Bluetooth pairing procedure with the wearable device, instead of sending the procedure request message to the wearable device to enable Bluetooth pairing mode. The wearable device is preset to enable pairing mode, that is, it is preset to a state where another Bluetooth device can find it and when the wearable device can satisfy a pairing request. During the pairing process, the wearable device may ask the user whether to agree to pairing with the device with a network connection. After the user agrees to pair with the network connection device, the wearable device agrees to pair with the network connection device.

(3) The user device indirectly and separately configures the function of the network connection device and the function of the wearable device, so that the wearable device can actively initiate the Bluetooth pairing procedure with the network connection device, and the network connection device can be passively paired with the wearable device.

The user device sends a mode request message to the network connection device, and the mode request message is used to request the network connection device to turn on the Bluetooth pairing mode; that is, the network connection device is set to a state where it can be found by another Bluetooth device within a certain period of time, and the wearable device can satisfy the pairing request. The user device sends a procedure request message to the wearable device, and the procedure request message is used to request the wearable device to perform a Bluetooth pairing procedure with the wearable device.

The communication method of the wearable device of the present invention is described below using an embodiment of the invention. In the communication system of this embodiment shown in FIG. 1a, the user device communicates with the network connection device using the UPnP protocol, the network connection device communicates with the wearable device using the Bluetooth protocol, and the user device communicates with the wearable device using the Bluetooth protocol. In this embodiment, the following is performed.

1. The user device configures the network connection device and the wearable device. The block diagram shown in FIG. 5a contains the following.

(1) The user device obtains the BD_ADDR1 Bluetooth address of the network connection device and the BD_ADDR2 Bluetooth address of the wearable device, and generates a Link_Key for performing Bluetooth communication between the network connection device and the wearable device.

More specifically, the user device can obtain, using the web client installed on the user device, the Bluetooth address BD_ADDR1 of the network connection device from the web server, that is, the network connection device; or the user device serves as a management point and reads the BD_ADDR1 Bluetooth address from the network connection device (the network connection device is used as UPnP device) using UPnP.

(2) The user device sends information such as the BD_ADDR1 Bluetooth address of the network connection device and the Link_Key to the wearable device for storage.

(3) The user device sends information such as the BD_ADDR2 Bluetooth address of the wearable device and the Link_Key to the network connection device for storage. Optionally, the user device sends information such as the interface relationship between the user device and the wearable device to the network connection device for storage.

If the network connection device does not accept a pairing relationship between the user device and the wearable device, then it establishes a pairing relationship between the user device and the wearable device.

(4) The user device receives the Bluetooth service information that the wearable device supports from the wearable device, and sends the Bluetooth service information to the network connection device.

Therefore, the network connection device can establish a mapping relationship between the Bluetooth service information that the wearable device supports and the UPnP service information, and map the wearable device to the root UPnP device of the network connection device. For example, a network connection device establishes a mapping relationship between UPnP configuration management service information (CMS) and heart rate service information (HEART RATE SERVICE) that the wearable device supports, as described more specifically below.

A. Map the Bluetooth address of the wearable device to the universally unique identifier (UUID) of the root UPnP device.

B. Establish mapping relationship between function (action) and event in CMS service and GATT and CHARACTERISTIC command in Bluetooth protocol, below is an example of the mentioned.

The function (SetValues) of setting values in the CMS corresponds to the request (Write Request) for writing in the Bluetooth protocol; the function (GetValues) of receiving values in the CMS service corresponds to the request (Read Request) for reading in the Bluetooth protocol; and a report event in the CMS corresponds to a Bluetooth Handle Value Notification and the like.

C. Establish a mapping relationship between characteristic (CHARACTERISTIC) in Bluetooth protocol and parameter in data model of CMS service, below is an example of the mentioned.

Bluetooth specifications, including measured heart rate, custom heart rate configuration descriptor, body-mounted sensor location, heart rate monitoring point, and the like, are treated as parameters in the CMS data model.

D. A mapping relationship is established between the characteristic having the Notify attribute in the Bluetooth protocol and the state of the variable in the CMS, so that the wearable device can report the characteristic value, the following is an example of this.

The measured heart rate in the Bluetooth protocol corresponds to the state variable of the UPnP protocol.

2. The user device does not directly communicate with the wearable device using the network connection device. The block diagram shown in FIG. 5b contains the following.

(1) In the process of performing Bluetooth communication between the user device and the wearable device, if the wearable device does not receive, within a certain period of time, a Bluetooth packet with a heart rate sent by the user device, then it is determined that the Bluetooth connection between the wearable device and the user is disconnected. device. In this case, the wearable device continues to determine if a Bluetooth paging message directed by the network connection device can be received. If a Bluetooth paging message directed by the network connection device can be received, the wearable device may return a Bluetooth paging response to establish a Bluetooth communication connection between the network connection device and the wearable device.

In another specific embodiment of the invention (as shown in dashed lines in FIG.5b), if the user device does not receive, within a certain period of time, a Bluetooth response message that contains a heart rate and is sent to the wearable device, then it is determined that the connection The wearable Bluetooth is disconnected and the user device sends a trigger command to the UPnP network connection device to prompt the network connection device to establish a Bluetooth connection with the wearable device.

(2) After establishing a Bluetooth connection between the network connection device and the wearable device, a push message is sent to the user device, and the push message is used to notify the user device that the first Bluetooth connection between the network connection device and the wearable device has been established. that the wearable device is in a connected state. For example, the push message is used to notify the user device that the UPnP root device corresponding to the wearable device is in a connected state, and the push message is specifically a Simple Service Discovery Protocol (SSDP) push message SSDP :: alive.

(3) After receiving the SSDP :: alive notification message directed by the network connection device, the user device may not directly communicate with the wearable device, more specifically, as follows.

The user device sends the first information to the UPnP network connection device, and the network connection device converts the first UPnP information to the first Bluetooth information and sends the first information to the wearable device. For example, the first information sent by the user device to the wearable device is a parameter value read. The user device sends a UPnP GetValues () command to the network device, and the network device converts the GetValues () command to a Bluetooth Read Request () and sends the Read Request () to the wearable device.

When the wearable device sends the second information to the user device, the wearable device sends the second information to the Bluetooth networking device, and the network connection device converts the second information, sent using Bluetooth, into second information, directed using UPnP, and forwards the second. information to the user device. For example, the second information sent by the wearable device to the user device is a heart rate report. The wearable device sends the heart rate parameter value to the network device using the Bluetooth Handle Value Notification () message, and the network device converts the measured heart rate parameter value into a UPnP protocol notification event and reports the measured heart rate parameter value heart rate ”to the user device.

(4) When the user device detects that the Bluetooth signal strength of the wearable device reaches a certain threshold, the user device instructs the network connection device to release the Bluetooth connection to the wearable device so that the user device can communicate with the wearable device by establishing a direct communication connection.

The communication method of the wearable device of the present invention is described below using another specific embodiment of the invention. In the communication system of this embodiment shown in FIG. 1b, the method of this embodiment is similar to the method of the embodiment of FIG. 1a. The difference is as follows. In this embodiment, the network connection device communicates with the wearable device using a bridge device, the bridge device is connected to the network connection device using a power cable, and the bridge device basically transmits a Bluetooth message directed by the device network connection or wearable device.
