Abstract
A blue-tooth communication system and a broadcasting method therefor are provided. The broadcasting method includes: detecting N blue-tooth receivers in a blue-tooth range of a blue-tooth transmitter; broadcasting a data package during at least one transmitting timing window by the blue-tooth transmitter; and receiving N returned data packages which are respectively returned by the corresponding blue-tooth receivers by the blue-tooth transmitter during N receiving timing windows. At least one of the N returned data packages includes an acknowledge message which is recorded in a header field of the corresponding returned data package.

A broadcasting method for a blue-tooth communication system, comprising:
- detecting N blue-tooth receivers in a blue-tooth range of a blue-tooth transmitter, wherein N is a positive integer, including detecting a first blue-tooth receiver and a second blue-tooth receiver;
- broadcasting a data package by the blue-tooth transmitter during a first transmitting timing window slot;
- and
- during N receiving timing windows, receiving N returned data packages which are respectively returned by the corresponding blue-tooth receivers by the blue-tooth transmitter during N receiving timing windows, including:
- receiving a first returned data package from the first blue-tooth receiver in a first receiving window slot immediately following the first transmitting timing window slot;
- and
- receiving a second returned data package from the second blue-tooth receiver in a second receiving window slot immediately following the second transmitting timing window slot;
- wherein at least one of the N returned data packages includes an acknowledge message which is recorded in a header field of the corresponding returned data package.
A blue-tooth communication system, comprising:
- a blue-tooth transmitter, having a blue-tooth range;
- and
- N blue-tooth receivers, arranged in the blue-tooth range, including a first blue-tooth receiver and a second blue-tooth receiver, wherein:
- the blue-tooth transmitter is configured to broadcast a data package during a transmitting timing window to transmit the data package to the blue-tooth receivers;
- the blue-tooth receivers are respectively configured to return N returned data packages to the blue-tooth transmitter;
- at least one of the returned data packages includes an acknowledge message which is recorded in a header field of the corresponding returned data package;
- and
- the blue-tooth transmitter is further configured to:
- receive a first returned data package from the first blue-tooth receiver in a first receiving window slot immediately following the first transmitting timing window slot;
- and
- receive a second returned data package from the second blue-tooth receiver in a second receiving window slot immediately following the second transmitting timing window slot.
At least one non-transitory medium, the medium comprising instructions, the instructions, when loaded and executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
- broadcast a data package during a transmitting timing window to transmit the data package to N blue-tooth receivers arranged within a blue-tooth range, the N blue-tooth receivers including a first blue -tooth receiver and a second blue-tooth receiver;
- receive N returned data packages from the blue-tooth receivers, wherein at least one of the returned data packages includes an acknowledge message which is recorded in a header field of the corresponding returned data package;
- receive a first returned data package from the first blue-tooth receiver in a first receiving window slot immediately following the first transmitting timing window slot;
- and
- receive a second returned data package from the second blue-tooth receiver in a second receiving window slot immediately following the second transmitting timing window slot.
