Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a wireless connection method and an electronic device. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the development of electronic products, people have higher and higher requirements for the convenience of electronic products, and Bluetooth wireless mouse and keyboard and the like have emerged as the times require. For 2.4G Wireless (wireless) and Bluetooth dual-mode wireless mouse and the like, when connecting for the first time in Bluetooth mode, pairing operation needs to be performed on the mouse and the like and the PC end. Before pairing is completed, the Bluetooth wireless mouse and the like are completely unusable. However, in the pairing process of the mouse and the like and the PC end, some auxiliary devices need to be used to realize the pairing operation. For example, the Touchpad (touchpad) or TrackPoint (trackpoint) of a notebook computer can be used to temporarily perform the mouse function to complete the pairing operation of the Bluetooth wireless mouse and the like and the PC end. In this way, the notebook computer is relatively easy to realize the pairing operation, but for a desktop computer, without Touchpad or TrackPoint, pairing of the Bluetooth wireless mouse and the like and the PC end cannot be realized without connecting external devices.

[0039] The principles and spirits of the present application will be described below with reference to a number of exemplary embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are given only to enable those skilled in the art to better understand and implement the present application, and do not limit the scope of the present application in any way. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided to make the present application more thorough and complete, and to fully convey the scope of the present application to those skilled in the art.

[0040] The technical solutions of the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0041] Figure 1 The implementation flowchart of the connection method of the embodiment of the present application is shown in the schematic diagram.

[0042] Reference Figure 1 The embodiment of the application is a connection method applied to a first electronic device, and at least includes the following operation processes: operation 101, in response to obtaining a request for first-time establishment of a first connection with a second electronic device, transmitting interaction data between the first electronic device and the second electronic device through a second connection; operation 102, establishing the first connection based on at least the interaction data, and controlling the connection state of the second connection after the first connection is established; wherein the power consumption of the first electronic device and the second electronic device under the first connection is different from the power consumption under the second connection, and the second connection is a connection established based on at least a hardware mode.

[0043] In operation 101, in response to obtaining a request for first-time establishment of a first connection with a second electronic device, transmitting interaction data between the first electronic device and the second electronic device through a second connection.

[0044] In this embodiment of the application, the first electronic device can be a dual-mode wireless mouse, keyboard, wireless projector or other wireless human-computer interaction device with 2.4G wireless connection and Bluetooth connection functions. The second electronic device can be a notebook computer, desktop computer, general-purpose server or special-purpose server, etc.

[0045] It should be noted that in this embodiment of the application, the case where the second electronic device information is not stored in the first electronic device is regarded as that the first electronic device first-time establishes the first connection with the second electronic device. For example, it can include the case where the first electronic device has never established a connection with the second electronic device, and also include the case where the first electronic device has established a connection with the second electronic device, but the second electronic device information is not stored in the first electronic device or is deleted in the first electronic device. The specific second electronic device information can include device name, pairing code, connection account and password, etc.

[0046] In this embodiment of the application, the interaction data between the first electronic device and the second electronic device is transmitted through the second connection, which can be realized by the following operation: after the first electronic device and the second electronic device establish the second connection, in response to radiating outward or searching for a first signal, it is determined that the request for first-time establishment of the first connection with the second electronic device is obtained, and the interaction data is transmitted through the second connection; wherein in the process of radiating outward or searching for the first signal, a second signal is radiated outward or received, and the second signal is a signal used by the second connection.

[0047] In this embodiment of the present application, the first electronic device can actively send a request for establishing the first connection with the second electronic device through a key or other operation mode of the first electronic device. For example, a dual-mode wireless mouse with 2.4G connection function and Bluetooth connection function is switched from 2.4G connection mode to Bluetooth connection mode. The second electronic device can also search for the first electronic device, and if the first electronic device is found, the second electronic device initiates a request for establishing the first connection between the first electronic device and the second electronic device. At this time, the first electronic device passively receives the request for establishing the first connection with the second electronic device for the first time.

[0048] In this embodiment of the present application, the interaction data between the first electronic device and the second electronic device can be pairing data, operation data, input data, or device information.

[0049] In this embodiment of the present application, before the first connection between the first electronic device and the second electronic device is successfully established, the second electronic device maintains data interaction through the second connection with the first electronic device. For example, the notebook computer and the dual-mode mouse maintain data interaction through the USB radio transceiver. The dual-mode mouse is configured with a 2.4G wireless communication module and a Bluetooth wireless connection module, and the 2.4G wireless communication module is configured with a USB radio transceiver. Before the dual-mode mouse is successfully switched to connect with the notebook computer through the Bluetooth wireless connection module, data interaction through the USB radio transceiver is maintained to utilize the 2.4G wireless communication module of the dual-mode mouse to realize the interaction of pairing data, operation data, input data, or device information between the Bluetooth wireless connection module and the notebook computer.

[0050] Operation 102, establishing the first connection based at least on the interaction data, and controlling the connection state of the second connection after the first connection is established. Wherein, the power consumption of the first electronic device and the second electronic device under the first connection is different from the power consumption under the second connection, and the second connection is a connection established at least based on hardware.

[0051] In this embodiment of the present application, the second connection can be a connection between the first electronic device and the second electronic device realized through a USB radio transceiver, a cable, a wireless projector, or other hardware.

[0052] In this embodiment of the present application, the first connection can be established based at least on the interaction data by the following operations: obtaining interaction data from the second electronic device, the interaction data being generated by the second electronic device in response to operation data from the first electronic device, and if the interaction data is matched successfully, the first connection is established. Wherein, the interaction data can be propagated through the first signal and / or the second signal.

[0053] Specifically, two communication connection channels are configured between the first electronic device and the second electronic device, a signal transmitted through the first connection channel is referred to as a first signal, and a signal transmitted through the second connection channel is referred to as a second signal. After the first electronic device sends a request for obtaining the first connection with the second electronic device, the first electronic device and the second electronic device can simultaneously transmit signals through the two communication connection channels. For example, before the first connection is successfully established, the second electronic device can simultaneously transmit the first signal to the first electronic device through the first communication connection channel, transmit the second signal to the first electronic device through the second communication connection channel, or transmit the second signal to the first electronic device through the second communication connection channel to transmit interaction data. After the first connection is successfully established, the second electronic device can transmit the second signal to the first electronic device through the second communication connection channel, or simultaneously transmit the first signal to the first electronic device through the first communication connection channel, transmit the second signal to the first electronic device through the second communication connection channel, or transmit the second signal to the first electronic device through the second communication connection channel to transmit interaction data. Of course, after the first connection is successfully established, in order to save power consumption, the second electronic device can transmit the second signal to the first electronic device through the second communication connection channel to transmit interaction data.

[0054] It should be noted that, in the process of establishing the first connection, in addition to the interaction data transmitted through the second connection, other information can also be considered simultaneously. For example, the relative position information of the first electronic device and the second electronic device, the number of devices connected to the first electronic device, the number of devices connected to the second electronic device, the device state of the first electronic device, and the device state of the second electronic device, etc. For example, in the case where the number of devices connected to the second electronic device is less than or equal to 6, it is determined that the first connection can be established. In the case where the relative position information of the first electronic device and the second electronic device shows that the distance between the first electronic device and the second electronic device is less than or equal to 10 meters, it is determined that the first connection can be established.

[0055] In this embodiment of the present application, the first electronic device can be a dual-mode mouse, and the second electronic device can be a notebook computer. The dual-mode mouse is configured with a photoelectric sensor, a key sensor, a 2.4G module and a Bluetooth module. The signals collected by the photoelectric sensor and the key sensor can be transmitted through at least one of the 2.4G module and the Bluetooth module. The dual-mode mouse transmits and receives signals through a USB radio frequency transceiver in a 2.4G wireless communication mode. The notebook computer is first connected with the dual-mode mouse in the 2.4G wireless communication mode. Through a mode switching switch of the dual-mode mouse, a request for switching the connection mode of the dual-mode mouse and the notebook computer to a Bluetooth connection mode is sent. After receiving the request, the dual-mode mouse simultaneously sends the signals collected by the photoelectric sensor and the key sensor to the notebook computer through the 2.4G module and the Bluetooth module. The signals collected by the photoelectric sensor and the key sensor can include user input Bluetooth pairing information of the dual-mode mouse and the notebook computer, such as device information and a pairing code, and can also include current operation data of the notebook computer by the user, so as to ensure that the dual-mode mouse and the notebook computer are always in a connected state, the dual-mode mouse can operate the notebook computer, normal data interaction is ensured, and Bluetooth pairing of the dual-mode mouse and the notebook computer is realized. When the Bluetooth module has successfully completed Bluetooth pairing with the computer end, the Bluetooth module will receive a feedback instruction sent by the notebook computer end Bluetooth adapter, and it can be determined that the first connection is successfully established.

[0056] In this embodiment of the present application, the second connection can be controlled to be in a disabled state after the first connection is established. For example, referring back to the above example, the first electronic device is a dual-mode mouse, and the second electronic device is a notebook computer. After receiving the feedback instruction sent by the notebook computer end Bluetooth adapter, it can be determined that the first connection is successfully established. At this time, the 2.4G wireless communication module can be disabled to reduce the power consumption of the dual-mode mouse.

[0057] In another embodiment of the present application, after the first connection is established, the to-be-transmitted data between the first electronic device and the second electronic device can be obtained, and the second connection can be controlled to be in a disabled state or an available state based on at least the attribute information of the to-be-transmitted data. For example, the second electronic device is a notebook computer, and the to-be-transmitted data is mouse control information. In this case, the second connection is disabled. In the case that the to-be-transmitted data is touchpad or key data, the second connection can be kept in an available state, so that the input information of the touchpad and the keys of the second electronic device can be transmitted simultaneously.

[0058] In addition, in another embodiment of the present application, the second connection can be controlled to be in the disabled state or the available state according to the attribute information of the to-be-transmitted content and the content control after the first connection is established. For example, the to-be-transmitted data is a file, and the second connection can be controlled to be in the disabled state or the available state according to the attribute information and the content control in a similar transmission scenario. For example, the first electronic device is an electronic device with a storage function, and the second electronic device is a computer. In the case that the to-be-transmitted data is mouse control information and the content of the to-be-transmitted data is a file to be downloaded, the first connection or the second connection can be selected to download the file according to the size of the file to be downloaded. In the case that the first connection is selected to download the file, the second connection is disabled. In the case that the second connection is selected to download the file, the second connection is kept in the available state. Here, the first connection or the second connection can also be selected to transmit the to-be-transmitted data according to an application process for processing the to-be-transmitted data. Of course, the above is only an example, and other applicable methods can be used to control the second connection to be in the disabled state or the available state in actual applications.

[0059] In this embodiment of the present application, the connection state of the first connection and the second connection can be obtained after the first connection is established, and the to-be-transmitted data can be transmitted between the first electronic device and the second electronic device through the first connection and / or the second connection based on the connection state.

[0060] In this embodiment of the present application, the connection state can be evaluated by the connection quality of the first connection and the second connection. The connection quality of the first connection and the second connection is related to the relative position relationship between the first electronic device and the second electronic device, the device running state, the power, the number of connected devices, and the like. Therefore, at least one of the relative position relationship between the first electronic device and the second electronic device, the device running state, the power, and the number of connected devices can be obtained, and the to-be-transmitted data can be transmitted between the first electronic device and the second electronic device through the first connection and / or the second connection based on at least one of the relative position relationship between the first electronic device and the second electronic device, the device running state, the power, and the number of connected devices.

[0061] In an embodiment of the present application, the first electronic device is a dual-mode mouse configured with a 2.4G wireless connection mode and a Bluetooth connection mode, and the second electronic device is a computer. After the first connection is established, the positional relationship between the first electronic device and the second electronic device is obtained. In a case where the distance between the first electronic device and the second electronic device is less than or equal to a first set distance, the transmission of the to-be-transmitted data between the first electronic device and the second electronic device is controlled to be performed in the first connection. In a case where the distance between the first electronic device and the second electronic device is greater than a second set distance, the transmission of the to-be-transmitted data between the first electronic device and the second electronic device is controlled to be performed in the second connection. In a case where the distance between the first electronic device and the second electronic device is greater than the first set distance and less than or equal to the second set distance, the transmission of the to-be-transmitted data between the first electronic device and the second electronic device is controlled to be performed in the first connection and the second connection. The first set distance is less than or equal to the second set distance.

[0062] In an embodiment of the present application, the first electronic device is a dual-mode mouse configured with a 2.4G wireless connection mode and a Bluetooth connection mode, and the second electronic device is a computer. After the first connection is established, the power of the first electronic device is obtained. In a case where the power of the first electronic device is less than or equal to a first set power, the transmission of the to-be-transmitted data between the first electronic device and the second electronic device is controlled to be performed in the first connection. In a case where the power of the first electronic device is greater than a second set power, the transmission of the to-be-transmitted data between the first electronic device and the second electronic device is controlled to be performed in the second connection. In a case where the power of the first electronic device is greater than the first set power and less than or equal to the second set power, the transmission of the to-be-transmitted data between the first electronic device and the second electronic device is controlled to be performed in the first connection and the second connection.

[0063] In an embodiment of the present application, the first electronic device is a dual-mode mouse configured with a 2.4G wireless connection mode and a Bluetooth connection mode, and the second electronic device is a computer. After the first connection is established, the number of devices connected to the second electronic device is obtained. In a case where the number of devices connected to the second electronic device is less than or equal to a first set number, the transmission of the to-be-transmitted data between the first electronic device and the second electronic device is controlled to be performed in the first connection. In a case where the number of devices connected to the second electronic device is greater than a second set number, the transmission of the to-be-transmitted data between the first electronic device and the second electronic device is controlled to be performed in the second connection. In a case where the number of devices connected to the second electronic device is greater than the first set number and less than or equal to the second set number, the transmission of the to-be-transmitted data between the first electronic device and the second electronic device is controlled to be performed in the first connection and the second connection.

[0064] In an embodiment of the present application, the first electronic device is a dual-mode mouse, the dual-mode mouse is configured with a master control chip, a 2.4G module and a Bluetooth module, the master control chip can send a disconnection instruction to the 2.4G module after the first connection is established, and the 2.4G module stops working. The mouse is connected to the second electronic device through the single connection mode of the Bluetooth module. The 2.4G module is in a standby state, and the master control chip keeps monitoring the Bluetooth signal connection state for a long time. When it is detected that the Bluetooth mode has been disconnected, the master control chip continuously sends 4 Bluetooth signal detection instructions. If data is still not received, the 2.4G module circuit is immediately started and broadcasts a 2.4G signal in the signal receiving range. At this time, the user only needs to manually insert the 2.4G receiver into the USB interface of the computer end, and the wireless connection of the 2.4G module can be automatically established.

[0065] In this embodiment of the present application, the data information carried by the first signal and / or the second signal is monitored after the first connection is established. The running state of the first electronic device is controlled based on at least the data information, or the running state of the first electronic device is controlled based on the data information and the motion information of the first electronic device.

[0066] For example, the first electronic device is a dual-mode mouse, and the second electronic device is a computer. After the first connection is established, if the mouse does not receive any data signal from the computer end, the master control chip of the mouse will continuously send a probe signal. If the number of sending times exceeds a certain number and any information still cannot be received, the mouse enters a deep sleep mode until the user moves the mouse again, so that the photoelectric sensor or the key sensor receives an instruction, and then enters a signal exploration stage.

[0067] In this embodiment of the present application, after the first electronic device is disconnected from the second electronic device, if the cleaning condition is met, the connection information between the first electronic device and the second electronic device is deleted. The connection information at least includes the connection information of the first connection.

[0068] In an embodiment of the present application, if the first electronic device is not connected to the second electronic device again within a set time after the first electronic device is disconnected from the second electronic device, the connection information between the first electronic device and the second electronic device is deleted. The connection information at least includes the connection information of the first connection. The connection information can include the device information and the pairing code of the second electronic device stored in the first electronic device.

[0069] In an embodiment of the present application, the first electronic device can be connected with multiple devices, and if the first electronic device is not connected with the second electronic device again within a set time after the first electronic device is disconnected from the second electronic device, the first electronic device can determine the timing of deleting the connection information between the first electronic device and the second electronic device according to the connection frequency of the first electronic device and the devices. The higher the connection frequency of the first electronic device and the second electronic device, the longer the connection information between the first electronic device and the second electronic device is kept. In this way, the connection frequency of the first electronic device and each device can be detected, and the timing of deleting the connection information between the first electronic device and the second electronic device after the first electronic device is disconnected from the second electronic device can be set according to the connection frequency of the first electronic device and each device. For example, for a device with a connection frequency less than 5 times per day, the connection information between the first electronic device and the second electronic device is deleted immediately after disconnection. For a device with a connection frequency greater than 10 times per day, the connection information between the first electronic device and the second electronic device is deleted 72 hours after disconnection. The timing of deleting the connection information between the first electronic device and the second electronic device can also be determined according to the length of each connection, etc. Of course, other ways of determining the timing of deleting the connection information between the first electronic device and the second electronic device can also be used, which are not limited in the present application.

[0070] Figure 2 A specific application example implementation flowchart of the connection method of the embodiment of the present application is shown.

[0071] Reference Figure 2 In this embodiment of the present application, the first electronic device is a dual-mode mouse configured with 2.4G wireless communication connection and Bluetooth connection, and the second electronic device is a computer.

[0072] When the user switches the mouse pairing mode to Bluetooth mode, the 2.4G wireless connection mode is kept in an available state during the process of searching and pairing Bluetooth signals of the dual-mode mouse. The user can insert the 2.4G wireless receiver with a USB interface of the dual-mode mouse into the USB interface of the computer during the initial pairing operation in the Bluetooth mode.

[0074] Reference Figure 3The electronic device 30 comprises a first communication chip 301, a second communication chip 302, and a master chip 303; the second communication chip 302 is configured to establish a second connection with a second electronic device, and in a case where the first communication chip obtains a request for establishing a first connection, the second communication chip 302 is configured to transfer interaction data between the first electronic device and the second electronic device, so as to establish the first connection through the first communication chip; the master chip 303 is configured to control at least a connection state of the second connection; and the power consumption of the first electronic device and the second electronic device under the first connection is different from the power consumption under the second connection.

[0075] In this embodiment of the present application, the electronic device 30 further comprises a sensor circuit configured to obtain position information of the electronic device 30, and a radio frequency circuit configured to receive and transmit wireless signals, so as to transmit the position information and a part of the interaction data generated by the first electronic device to the second electronic device through the first connection or the second connection.

[0076] In this embodiment of the present application, the first communication chip is a 2.4G wireless communication chip, and the second communication chip 302 is a Bluetooth communication chip.

[0077] Figure 4 A composition structure schematic diagram of an electronic device in a specific application example of an embodiment of the present application is shown.

[0078] Reference Figure 4 In the specific application example of the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device is a dual-mode wireless mouse configured with a 2.4G wireless connection mode and a Bluetooth connection mode. The dual-mode wireless mouse comprises a master control circuit, a power supply and charging circuit, a key circuit, a photoelectric sensor circuit, a storage circuit, and an RF circuit. The master control circuit comprises a 2.4G electric transmission module IC and a Bluetooth electric transmission module IC, and the master control module is connected with the 2.4G electric transmission module IC and the Bluetooth electric transmission module IC through a logic AND gate circuit.

[0079] The electronic device can realize free switching between the 2.4G module and the Bluetooth mode, and the 2.4G module signal needs to be kept on for a period of time until the Bluetooth connection is completed and the initial pairing is successful, and the design of the master control chip 303 is very critical. When the key circuit initiates the switching of the Bluetooth mode, the master control chip 303 issues an instruction to turn on the Bluetooth mode function. The working mode of the master control circuit, the 2.4G circuit and the Bluetooth circuit remains in a fully functional state, and the coordinate information collected by the photoelectric sensor is sent out through the Bluetooth module and the 2.4G module at the same time, so as to keep the 2.4G module still able to receive coordinate information and provide screen cursor movement and key instruction feedback. The coordinate and key instruction sent through the Bluetooth information will be automatically discarded because the connection has not been successfully established. At this time, the user can complete the search and pairing operation of the computer end Bluetooth device through the 2.4G signal.

[0080] At this time, the operation instruction collected by the mouse photoelectric sensor and the key sensor is sent out through the 2.4G module and the Bluetooth module at the same time. When the Bluetooth module has successfully completed the pairing with the computer end, the Bluetooth module will receive the feedback instruction from the computer end Bluetooth adapter and transmit the successful pairing information to the master control chip 303. The master control chip 303 identifies that the Bluetooth module of the mouse has been successfully matched with the computer end Bluetooth adapter and the user operation is available.

[0081] The master control chip 303 sends a disconnection instruction to the 2.4G module circuit, and the 2.4G module stops working. The mouse remains in a single connection mode of the Bluetooth module. The 2.4G module is in a standby state.

[0082] The master control chip 303 keeps monitoring the connection state of the Bluetooth signal for a long time, and when it is detected that the Bluetooth mode has been disconnected, it sends 4 Bluetooth signal detection instructions in succession. If no data is still received, the working state of the 2.4G module circuit is immediately started and the 2.4G signal is broadcasted within the signal receiving range. At this time, the user only needs to manually insert the 2.4G receiver into the USB interface of the computer end, so as to automatically establish the 2.4G wireless connection between the dual-mode mouse and the computer.

[0083] If there is no data signal from the computer end at this time, the master control chip 303 will continue to send the exploration signal, and if the sending times exceed a certain number and no information can still be received, the mouse enters a deep sleep mode until the user moves the mouse again, so that the photoelectric sensor or the key sensor receives the instruction, and then enters the signal exploration stage.
