Background technique

In the application scenario of the Bluetooth device controlling the device to be connected, for example, when the Bluetooth device is a Bluetooth remote control device and the device to be connected is an air-conditioning device, in the scenario where the Bluetooth remote control device controls the air-conditioning device, it is generally necessary to specially design the connection mode of the Bluetooth remote control device to adapt to the air-conditioning device to be connected with a known connection mode. However, this implementation method limits the Bluetooth remote control device to the connection method of the air-conditioning device to be connected. For the air-conditioning device to be connected with an unknown connection mode, a Bluetooth remote control device that has not been specially designed cannot be flexibly connected to it, and may even be unable to connect to it, so that the Bluetooth remote control device cannot control the air-conditioning device to be connected with such an unknown connection mode. Based on this, how to improve the flexibility of the connection between the Bluetooth device and the device to be connected is a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently.

In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present disclosure clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

Some embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments may be combined with each other.

In the present disclosure, the Bluetooth device can be configured with an active connection mode and a passive connection mode, wherein the active connection mode is used for the Bluetooth device to actively connect to the device to be connected, and the passive connection mode is used for the Bluetooth device to passively connect to the device to be connected. The device to be connected can be a smart device equipped with a Bluetooth module, such as an air conditioner, refrigerator, television, lamp, stereo, etc., which is not limited in the present disclosure.

Referring to Fig. 1, a flow chart of a Bluetooth connection method according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. The Bluetooth connection method may include step 110: in response to a Bluetooth device being awakened, starting at least one connection mode configured in the Bluetooth device so that the Bluetooth device is connected to a device to be connected, wherein the Bluetooth device is configured with an active connection mode and a passive connection mode, wherein the active connection mode is used for the Bluetooth device to actively connect to the device to be connected, and the passive connection mode is used for the Bluetooth device to passively connect to the device to be connected.

In some implementations, the Bluetooth device may be awakened using a gyroscope detection principle. For example, a gyroscope may be used to detect the direction and orientation information of the Bluetooth device. Determine whether the Bluetooth device is picked up, and if the Bluetooth device is picked up, the Bluetooth device is awakened. In other implementations, the Bluetooth device can also be awakened by operating a button on the Bluetooth device. The specific implementation method of waking up the Bluetooth device is not limited in this disclosure.

In some implementations, the starting of at least one connection mode configured in the Bluetooth device may be performed according to the following steps 111 to 112.

In step 111, any one connection mode configured in the Bluetooth device is started, so that the Bluetooth device is connected to the device to be connected in any one of the connection modes.

In step 112, if the Bluetooth device is not connected to the device to be connected in any of the connection modes, other connection modes configured in the Bluetooth device except for the any of the connection modes are started, so that the Bluetooth device is connected to the device to be connected in the other connection modes.

In some other implementations, the device to be connected includes a first device and a second device, and the starting of at least one connection mode configured in the Bluetooth device may also be performed according to the following step 113.

In step 113, the active connection mode and the passive connection mode configured in the Bluetooth device are synchronously started, so that the Bluetooth device is connected to the first device in the active connection mode and is connected to the second device in the passive connection mode.

It can be understood that the Bluetooth device is configured with an active connection mode and a passive connection mode. When it is detected that the Bluetooth device is awakened, the active connection mode configured in the Bluetooth device can be started first. If the active connection mode fails to connect successfully, the passive connection mode configured in the Bluetooth device is started; or the passive connection mode configured in the Bluetooth device can be started first. If the passive connection mode fails to connect successfully, the active connection mode configured in the Bluetooth device is started; or the active connection mode and the passive connection mode configured in the Bluetooth device are started simultaneously.

It should be noted that after detecting that the Bluetooth device is awakened, which connection mode the Bluetooth device starts can be determined according to the way the Bluetooth device is awakened, or according to the last connection record with the device to be connected.

In some implementations, a wake-up button that matches the connection mode can be set in the control panel of the Bluetooth device, and when the Bluetooth device detects that the wake-up button is touched, the mode that matches the wake-up button is started. In a scenario where there are multiple devices to be connected, the user can synchronously start the active connection mode and the passive connection mode of the Bluetooth device by touching the wake-up button that matches the synchronous start.

In some other implementations, after detecting that the Bluetooth device is picked up, the last connection record between the Bluetooth device and the device to be connected is obtained. If the last time the device was connected to the device to be connected was through an active connection mode, the active connection mode of the Bluetooth device is started; if the last time the device was connected to the device to be connected was through a passive connection mode, the passive connection mode of the Bluetooth device is started; if the last time the device was connected to the device to be connected was through a passive connection mode, the passive connection mode of the Bluetooth device is started; When the connecting device is connected, the active connection mode and the passive connection mode of the Bluetooth device are synchronously started. The implementation method of starting which connection mode is configured in the Bluetooth device is not limited in this disclosure.

In the present disclosure, by starting at least one connection mode configured in the Bluetooth device in response to the Bluetooth device being awakened, the connection modes of the Bluetooth device can be increased to a certain extent, thereby improving the adaptability to devices to be connected with different connection modes.

In some embodiments, the Bluetooth device scans the first connection signal broadcast by the device to be connected in the active connection mode. If the first connection signal is scanned, the device to be connected is connected based on the first connection signal. If multiple first connection signals are scanned, at least one first connection signal with the strongest signal strength is determined as the target connection signal, and the device to be connected is connected based on the target connection signal.

It should be noted that the first connection signal may be Bluetooth data information broadcast by the device to be connected, that is, the connection request data broadcast by the device to be connected is Bluetooth data information. At this time, the signal strength of the first connection signal may be determined by the dB value in the Bluetooth data information.

It is understandable that the active connection mode of the Bluetooth device can only connect to the device to be connected when the connection request of the device to be connected is scanned. If the Bluetooth device scans only one first connection signal in all information channels, the device to be connected corresponding to the first connection signal is connected; if the Bluetooth device is in a scene with multiple devices to be connected, the Bluetooth device will scan the first connection signals of multiple devices to be connected when scanning the Bluetooth data information of all information channels, that is, the Bluetooth device will scan multiple first connection signals.

In some implementations, if the Bluetooth device scans multiple first connection signals in active connection mode, it determines at least one first connection signal with the strongest signal strength as the target connection signal; and connects to the device to be connected based on the target connection signal.

It should be noted that when the Bluetooth device scans multiple first connection signals, all the scanned first connection signals can be sorted in order of signal strength from strong to weak. Based on the sorting result, the first connection signal with the strongest signal strength is determined as the target connection signal, and the Bluetooth device connects to the devices to be connected corresponding to the target connection signals respectively.

It is understandable that, in some implementations, if the Bluetooth device scans multiple first connection signals in the active connection mode, it will connect to at least one device to be connected.

In the disclosed embodiment, at least one first connection signal can be determined based on scanning of Bluetooth data information of all information channels, and a connection can be made to the device to be connected based on the determined first connection signal. In this way, multiple devices to be connected can be connected at the same time in some scenarios, and the Bluetooth device can control multiple devices to be connected at the same time, thereby improving the convenience of users using the Bluetooth device to control multiple devices to be connected.

In some implementations, the Bluetooth device in the active connection mode, connecting with the device to be connected based on the first connection signal may further include: sending a first connection request to the device to be connected based on the first connection signal; and After the authentication is passed, a secure connection channel is established with the device to be connected to complete the connection with the device to be connected.

It is understandable that after the Bluetooth device scans the first connection signal, it cannot immediately interact with the device to be connected corresponding to the first connection signal. It needs to perform security authentication and establish a secure connection channel before it can interact with the device to be connected.

In some embodiments, if the Bluetooth remote control device scans an air-conditioning device configured in a passive connection mode in an active connection mode, the Bluetooth remote control device needs to send a first connection request to the air-conditioning device. Only after the air-conditioning device performs security authentication on the first connection request and establishes a secure connection channel can the Bluetooth remote control device implement control operations on the air-conditioning device.

In the disclosed embodiment, the Bluetooth device establishes a secure connection channel with the device to be connected in the active connection mode, which can improve the security and stability of data interaction between the Bluetooth device and the device to be connected to a certain extent.

In some implementations, the Bluetooth device broadcasts a second connection signal to the device to be connected in the passive connection mode; and if the device to be connected scans the second connection signal, connects to the device to be connected based on the second connection signal.

It should be noted that, in the passive connection mode, the Bluetooth device will actively broadcast the Bluetooth data information of the Bluetooth device according to the format protocol, that is, broadcast the second connection signal to the device to be connected, and the second connection signal can only be received by one device to be connected.

It should also be noted that in some embodiments, when the Bluetooth device is in passive connection mode and broadcasts the second connection signal to the device to be connected, a preset broadcast time can be configured in advance in the Bluetooth device. The preset broadcast time can be 10s, 20s, 30s, etc., which is not limited in this disclosure.

In some embodiments, connecting with the device to be connected based on the second connection signal may include: receiving a second connection request sent by the device to be connected based on the second connection signal; and establishing a secure connection channel with the device to be connected after authenticating the second connection request to complete the connection with the device to be connected.

It is understandable that after the device to be connected scans the second connection signal broadcast by the Bluetooth device, data interaction between the Bluetooth device and the device to be connected cannot be achieved immediately. It is necessary to perform security authentication and establish a secure connection channel before data interaction with the device to be connected can be performed.

In some embodiments, if the Bluetooth remote control device is in a passive connection mode, by broadcasting a second connection signal, after the air-conditioning device configured in an active connection mode scans the second connection signal, the air-conditioning device sends a second connection request to the Bluetooth remote control device. Only after the air-conditioning device and the Bluetooth remote control device perform security authentication and establish a secure connection channel can the Bluetooth remote control device implement control operations on the air-conditioning device.

In the disclosed embodiment, the Bluetooth device establishes a secure connection channel with the device to be connected in the passive connection mode, which can improve the security and stability of data interaction between the Bluetooth device and the device to be connected to a certain extent.

In some implementations, after the Bluetooth device is connected to the device to be connected, the Bluetooth device interacts with the device to be connected. If the Bluetooth device does not interact with the device to be connected within a first preset time period, the Bluetooth device is triggered to switch to sleep mode.

It should be noted that the first preset duration is a duration customized by the Bluetooth device system, which may be 10s, 30s, 60s, etc., and is not limited in the present disclosure.

In other implementations, after detecting that the user exits the wake-up operation, the Bluetooth device may be triggered to switch to the sleep mode after a certain period of time.

Taking picking up the Bluetooth device as an example of a wake-up operation for the Bluetooth device, the Bluetooth device can be triggered to switch to sleep mode 3 seconds after the Bluetooth device detects that the user exits the picking-up operation (i.e., puts down the Bluetooth device); an exit button can also be configured on the control panel of the Bluetooth device, and when the user touches the exit button, the Bluetooth device is controlled to switch to sleep mode; the triggering method for the Bluetooth device to switch to sleep mode can also be designed according to different situations, which is not limited in the present disclosure.

It can be understood that in the embodiment of the present disclosure, after the Bluetooth device has not interacted with the device to be connected for a certain period of time, controlling the Bluetooth device to switch to sleep mode can reduce the power consumption of the Bluetooth device and thereby extend the service life of the Bluetooth device.

In some embodiments, during data interaction between the Bluetooth device and the device to be connected, the Bluetooth connection method may further include: after the Bluetooth device sends first control data to the device to be connected, receiving feedback data corresponding to the first control data sent by the device to be connected, wherein the first control data is control data sent by the Bluetooth device to the device to be connected for the first time; and after the Bluetooth device sends second control data to the device to be connected, shielding feedback data corresponding to the second control data sent by the device to be connected, wherein the second control data is control data sent by the Bluetooth device to the device to be connected not for the first time.

It should be noted that, during the data interaction between the Bluetooth device and the device to be connected, the device to be connected will return device status data after receiving the control data sent by the Bluetooth device. The Bluetooth device will cache the device status data returned by the device to be connected in the local memory, and will also cache the control data sent by the Bluetooth device to the device to be connected each time in the local memory.

During the data interaction between the Bluetooth device and the device to be connected, the Bluetooth device only records the feedback data corresponding to the first control data sent by the device to be connected. In some embodiments, the feedback data corresponding to the second control data sent by the device to be connected may be shielded, and the second control data is control data that is not sent for the first time by the Bluetooth device to the device to be connected. In other embodiments, the data self-correction mode may be configured in advance in the Bluetooth device, that is, the first control data sent by the Bluetooth device includes feedback data corresponding to the first control data that only the device to be connected needs to send, and there is no need to send feedback data corresponding to the second control data. In some other embodiments, the implementation of the Bluetooth device only recording the feedback data corresponding to the first control data sent by the device to be connected may also be designed according to different situations. The method is not limited in this disclosure.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, during the process of data interaction between the Bluetooth device and the device to be connected, the Bluetooth device can reduce the power consumption of the Bluetooth device and thereby extend the service life of the Bluetooth device by only recording feedback data corresponding to the first control data sent by the Bluetooth device to the device to be connected for the first time.

In some implementations, the Bluetooth connection method may further include: if the Bluetooth device is not connected to the device to be connected in both the active connection mode and the passive connection mode within a second preset time period, triggering the Bluetooth device to switch to a sleep mode.

It should be noted that the second preset duration is a duration customized by the Bluetooth device system, which may be 10s, 30s, 60s, etc., and is not limited in the present disclosure.

In other implementations, it is also possible to detect that the user exits the wake-up operation and trigger the Bluetooth device to switch to the sleep mode after a period of time.

Taking picking up the Bluetooth device as an example of a wake-up operation for the Bluetooth device, after the Bluetooth device detects that the user exits the picking-up operation (i.e., puts down the Bluetooth device) for 3 seconds, the Bluetooth device can be triggered to end the working mode of connecting to the device to be connected and switch the Bluetooth device to sleep mode; an end button can also be configured on the control panel of the Bluetooth device, and when the user's touch operation on the end button is detected, the Bluetooth device is triggered to end the working mode of connecting to the device to be connected and switch the Bluetooth device to sleep mode; the triggering method for the Bluetooth device to end the working mode of connecting to the device to be connected can also be designed according to different situations, which is not limited in the present disclosure.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, in response to the Bluetooth device being awakened, the Bluetooth device starts an active connection mode. If the Bluetooth device does not scan the first connection signal in the active connection mode, the active connection mode of the Bluetooth device is switched to a passive connection mode. When the Bluetooth device is in the passive connection mode, if the second connection signal is not scanned by the device to be connected, the Bluetooth device switches the passive connection mode to the active connection mode, and continues to repeat the above steps for the purpose of connecting to the device to be connected until the Bluetooth device is connected to the device to be connected.

If the Bluetooth device is not connected to the device to be connected in both the active connection mode and the passive connection mode for more than a second preset time, the Bluetooth device is triggered to switch to the sleep mode, that is, the Bluetooth device is controlled to end the working mode of connecting to the device to be connected.

In some embodiments, if a user wakes up the Bluetooth remote control device in a closed room where there is no device to be connected, and within a second preset time period, the Bluetooth remote control device cannot connect to the device to be connected in both the active connection mode and the passive connection mode, the Bluetooth remote control device will be triggered to switch to the sleep mode.

It is understandable that in the embodiment of the present disclosure, if the Bluetooth device fails to connect to the device to be connected within a preset time period, the Bluetooth device is controlled to switch to sleep mode, which can reduce the power consumption of the Bluetooth device and thereby extend the service life of the Bluetooth device.

In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present disclosure, the overall process of some embodiments of the technical solution of the present disclosure will be described below in conjunction with Figures 2 and 3.

Referring to Fig. 2, a detailed flow chart of starting at least one connection mode configured in the Bluetooth device in Fig. 1 is shown, and the figure is explained by taking the active connection mode of the Bluetooth device when the Bluetooth device is awakened as an example. The process of connecting the Bluetooth device to the device to be connected may include steps 200 to 207.

In step 200, the active connection mode of the Bluetooth device is started, that is, in response to the Bluetooth device being awakened, the active connection mode configured in the Bluetooth device is started.

In step 201, a first connection signal is scanned, that is, the Bluetooth device scans the first connection signal broadcast by the device to be connected in the active connection mode.

In step 202, it is determined whether the first connection signal is scanned. If the first connection signal broadcast by the device to be connected is scanned, step 203 is executed. If the first connection signal broadcast by the device to be connected is not scanned, step 204 is executed.

In step 203, a connection is made to the device to be connected based on the first connection signal.

After step 203, the method may further include: the Bluetooth device establishing a secure information channel with the device to be connected, and after the Bluetooth device establishes the secure information channel with the device to be connected, performing data interaction with the device to be connected; if the Bluetooth device does not perform data interaction with the device to be connected within a first preset time period, triggering the Bluetooth device to switch to sleep mode.

In step 204, the passive connection mode of the Bluetooth device is started, that is, the active connection mode of the Bluetooth device is switched to the passive connection mode.

In step 205, a second connection signal is broadcasted, that is, the Bluetooth device broadcasts the second connection signal to the device to be connected.

After step 205 , if the second connection signal broadcast by the Bluetooth device is not scanned by the device to be connected, the Bluetooth device returns to step 201 .

In step 206, the second connection signal is scanned by the device to be connected, that is, the second connection signal broadcast by the Bluetooth device is scanned by the device to be connected.

In step 207, a connection is made to the device to be connected based on the second connection signal.

After step 207, the method may further include: the Bluetooth device establishing a secure information channel with the device to be connected, and after the Bluetooth device establishes the secure information channel with the device to be connected, performing data interaction with the device to be connected; if the Bluetooth device does not perform data interaction with the device to be connected within a first preset time period, triggering the Bluetooth device to switch to sleep mode.

3 , another detailed flow chart of starting at least one connection mode configured in the Bluetooth device in FIG. 1 is shown, including steps 300 to 305 .

In step 300, the active connection mode and the passive connection mode of the Bluetooth device are synchronously started, that is, in response to the Bluetooth device being awakened, the active connection mode and the passive connection mode of the Bluetooth device are synchronously started.

In step 301, a first connection signal is scanned, that is, the Bluetooth device scans the first connection signal broadcast by the device to be connected in the active connection mode.

In step 302, a connection is made with a first device based on the first connection signal.

After step 302, it may also include: the Bluetooth device establishes a secure information channel with the first device, and after the Bluetooth device establishes the secure information channel with the first device, interacts with the first device for data; if the Bluetooth device does not interact with the first device for data within a first preset time period, the Bluetooth device is triggered to switch to sleep mode.

In step 303, a second connection signal is broadcasted, that is, while the Bluetooth device is scanning for the first connection signal, the Bluetooth device also broadcasts the second connection signal.

In step 304, the second connection signal is scanned by the second device, that is, the second connection signal broadcast by the Bluetooth device is scanned by the second device.

In step 305, a connection is made with a second device based on the second connection signal.

After step 305, it may also include: the Bluetooth device establishes a secure information channel with the second device, and after the Bluetooth device establishes the secure information channel with the second device, performs data interaction with the second device; if the Bluetooth device does not perform data interaction with the second device within a first preset time period, the Bluetooth device is triggered to switch to sleep mode.

It should be noted that in the scenario where the active connection mode and the passive connection mode of the Bluetooth device are started synchronously, after the active connection mode and the passive connection mode are respectively connected to the device to be connected, when the user uses the Bluetooth device to control the device to be connected, each device to be connected receives the same control data sent by the Bluetooth device.

In the technical solutions provided in some embodiments of the present disclosure, by configuring an active connection mode and a passive connection mode in the Bluetooth device, wherein the active connection mode is used for the Bluetooth device to actively connect to a device to be connected, and the passive connection mode is used for the Bluetooth device to passively connect to a device to be connected, when connecting to a device to be connected with an unknown connection mode, the connection mode of the device to be connected with the unknown connection mode can be adaptively connected, thereby improving the flexibility of connecting the Bluetooth device with the device to be connected and improving the user experience of the Bluetooth device.

The following describes an apparatus embodiment of the present disclosure, which can be used to execute the Bluetooth connection method in the above-mentioned embodiment of the present disclosure.

In some embodiments, the device to be connected includes a first device and a second device, and the starting unit 401 is also used to synchronously start the active connection mode and the passive connection mode configured in the Bluetooth device, so that the Bluetooth device is connected to the first device in the active connection mode, and is connected to the second device in the passive connection mode.

In some implementations, the starting unit 401 is further configured to scan a first connection signal broadcast by a device to be connected in the active connection mode; and if the first connection signal is scanned, connect to the device to be connected based on the first connection signal.
