Bluetooth Communication Method and Dual-Mode Bluetooth Terminal

A dual-mode BLUETOOTH terminal,

• comprising:
• a processor;
• and
• a memory coupled to the processor and configured to store instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the dual-mode BLUETOOTH terminal to be configured to:
• send a first BLUETOOTH Low Energy (BLE) pairing advertisement message in response to a first input from a user, wherein a first address type in the first BLE pairing advertisement message is public, wherein a first advertisement address in the first BLE pairing advertisement message is a fixed advertisement address, and wherein the first BLE pairing advertisement message carries a first identifier indicating that the dual-mode BLUETOOTH terminal does not support BLUETOOTH basic rate/enhanced data rate (BR/EDR);
• enter a conventional BLUETOOTH discoverable mode in response to a second input from the user;
• and
• send a paging response in response to a paging message from a receiver,
• wherein the paging response carries a media access control (MAC) address of the dual-mode BLUETOOTH terminal, and
• wherein the first input is different from the second input.

• and
• send a second BLE pairing advertisement message in response to a second input from the user,
• wherein a second address type in the second BLE pairing advertisement message is random,
• wherein a second advertisement address in the second BLE pairing advertisement message is a random advertisement address, and
• wherein the second BLE pairing advertisement message carries a second identifier indicating that the dual-mode BLUETOOTH terminal supports the BR/EDR.

A computer program product comprising computer-executable instructions stored on a non-transitory computer-readable medium that, when executed by a processor, cause a dual-mode BLUETOOTH terminal to:

• send a first BLUETOOTH low energy (BLE) pairing advertisement message after receiving a first input from a user, wherein a first address type in the first BLE pairing advertisement message is public, wherein a first advertisement address in the first BLE pairing advertisement message is a fixed advertisement address, and wherein the first BLE pairing advertisement message carries a first identifier used to indicate that the first dual-mode BLUETOOTH terminal does not support BLUETOOTH basic rate/enhanced data rate (BR/EDR);
• enter a conventional BLUETOOTH discoverable mode in response to a second input from the user;
• and
• send a paging response in response to receiving a paging message, wherein the paging response carries a media access control (MAC) address of the first dual-mode BLUETOOTH terminal, and wherein the first input is different from the second input.
