Electronic Apparatus, Proximity Network System and Connecting Method Thereof

A proximity network connecting method for connecting a plurality of electronic apparatuses having a same community relationship in a proximity network, wherein each one of the electronic apparatuses comprises a Bluetooth device for enabling the plurality of electronic apparatuses to receive and transmit Bluetooth wireless signals with each other, the proximity network connecting method comprising:

• storing a community relationship data in each Bluetooth device;
• reading the community relationship data of each Bluetooth device to identify whether each Bluetooth device has the same community relationship;
• determining whether each Bluetooth device is in the proximity network;
• and
• when the Bluetooth devices are identified to have the same community relationship with each other and are in the proximity network, each electronic apparatus is allowed to receive and transmit the Bluetooth wireless signals with another electronic apparatus via the corresponding Bluetooth device.

An electronic apparatus comprising a Bluetooth device for establishing a proximity network, the Bluetooth device comprising:

• a community relationship module, arranged for storing a community relationship data of the Bluetooth device;
• an identifying module, arranged for determining whether a neighboring Bluetooth device corresponds to the community relationship data to identify whether the Bluetooth device and the neighboring Bluetooth device have the same community relationship;
• and
• a distance detecting module, arranged for detecting a distance between the Bluetooth device and the neighboring Bluetooth device to determine whether the neighboring Bluetooth device is in the proximity network;
• wherein when the neighboring Bluetooth device is identified to have the same community relationship of the Bluetooth device and is in the proximity network, the electronic apparatus is allowed to establish a connection with the neighboring Bluetooth device via the Bluetooth device.

A proximity network connecting method for an electronic apparatus, the electronic apparatus comprising a Bluetooth device for establishing a proximity network, the proximity network connecting method comprising:

• obtaining an advertising message of a neighboring Bluetooth device;
• determining whether the Bluetooth device and the neighboring Bluetooth device have a same community relationship according to the advertising message;
• determining whether the neighboring Bluetooth device is in the proximity network;
• and
• when the neighboring Bluetooth device is identified to have the same community relationship of the Bluetooth device and is in the proximity network, establishing a connection between the Bluetooth device and the neighboring Bluetooth device.
