Abstract
A wireless connection method between a plurality of electronic devices using an out of band channel is provided. The wireless connection method includes receiving a first hash value through the out of band channel, receiving device identification information of electronic devices in proximity to an electronic device through a main wireless channel, calculating hash values of the device identification information, and performing a wireless connection of the electronic device with a surrounding electronic device that has the hash value identical to the first hash value among the calculated hash values.
Claims18
A wireless connection method between a plurality of electronic devices by a first electronic device, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a second electronic device from among a plurality of surrounding electronic devices in proximity to the first electronic device by the first electronic device, a first hash value through a first channel;
- receiving, by the first electronic device, a plurality of device identifiers of the plurality of surrounding electronic devices through a second channel;
- calculating, by the first electronic device, a plurality of hash values of the plurality of device identifiers;
- and
- performing, by the first electronic device, a wireless connection with the second electronic device from among the plurality of surrounding electronic devices corresponding to a hash value identical to the first hash value from among the plurality of hash values.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium with instructions stored therein which upon execution cause at least one processor to:
- receive, from a second electronic device from among a plurality of surrounding electronic devices in proximity to a first electronic device by the first electronic device, a first hash value through a first channel;
- receive, by the first electronic device, a plurality of device identifiers of the plurality of surrounding electronic devices through a second channel;
- calculate, by the first electronic device, a plurality of hash values of the plurality of device identifiers;
- and
- perform, by the first electronic device, a wireless connection with the second electronic device from among the plurality of surrounding electronic devices corresponding to a hash value identical to the first hash value from among the plurality of hash values,
- wherein if two or more of the surrounding electronic devices corresponding to the hash value identical to the first hash value are present, the first electronic device is connected to a surrounding electronic device, from among the two or more of the surrounding devices, which corresponds to a strongest received signal.
A first electronic device comprising:
- a storage unit configured to store data;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- receive, from a second electronic device from among the plurality of surrounding electronic devices in proximity to the first electronic device, a first hash value through a first channel,
- in response to the receiving of the first hash value, receive a plurality of device identifiers of the plurality of surrounding electronic devices through a second channel,
- calculate a plurality of hash values of the plurality of device identifiers, and
- perform a wireless connection with the second electronic device from among the plurality of surrounding electronic devices corresponding to a hash value identical to the first hash value from among the plurality of hash values,
- wherein, if two or more of the surrounding electronic devices corresponding to the hash value identical to the first hash value are present, the first electronic device is connected to a surrounding electronic device, from among the two or more of the surrounding devices, which corresponds to a strongest received signal.
