US 2019/0159271 A1 · BLUETOOTH CONNECTION MANAGEMENT METHOD, MASTER BLUETOOTH DEVICE, AND APPARATUS

Abstract

The present invention provides a Bluetooth connection management method, a master Bluetooth device, and an apparatus. The method is applied to a scenario in which a master Bluetooth device has established a Bluetooth connection to a slave Bluetooth device. The method includes: determining, by the master Bluetooth device, whether data is being transmitted with the slave Bluetooth device by using the Bluetooth connection; and disconnecting, by the master Bluetooth device, the Bluetooth connection to the slave Bluetooth device when the master Bluetooth device determines that no data is being transmitted with the slave Bluetooth device by using the Bluetooth connection. A user does not need to manually disconnect the Bluetooth connection. So that another master Bluetooth device may establish a Bluetooth connection to the slave Bluetooth device. This avoids a waste of resources.

A Bluetooth connection management method, wherein the method is applied to a scenario in which a master Bluetooth device actively initiates Bluetooth pairing with a slave Bluetooth device, and establishes a Bluetooth connection with the slave Bluetooth device, and the method comprises:

determining, by the master Bluetooth device, whether data is being transmitted to or from the slave Bluetooth device through Bluetooth connection;
and
disconnecting, by the master Bluetooth device, the Bluetooth connection with the slave Bluetooth device when the master Bluetooth device determines that no data is being transmitted to or from the slave Bluetooth device by using the Bluetooth connection.

A master Bluetooth device, wherein the master Bluetooth device actively initiates Bluetooth pairing with a slave Bluetooth device, and the master Bluetooth device establishes a Bluetooth connection with the slave Bluetooth device, and the master Bluetooth device comprises a processor, a memory, and a Bluetooth module, the processor, the memory, and the Bluetooth module being connected by a bus system, and wherein

the memory is configured to store an instruction;
the Bluetooth module receives or sends a message according to control of the processor, so as to implement Bluetooth communication between the master Bluetooth device and another slave Bluetooth device;
and
the processor is configured to invoke the instruction stored in the memory to perform:
determining whether the master Bluetooth device performs data transmission with the slave Bluetooth device by using the Bluetooth connection;
and
disconnecting the Bluetooth connection between the master Bluetooth device and the slave Bluetooth device when it is determined that the master Bluetooth device performs no data transmission from and/or to the slave Bluetooth device through the Bluetooth connection.
