[0033] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0034] The terms "first," "second," "third," "fourth," etc. (if present) in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of this application described can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein.

[0035] Furthermore, the terms “comprising” and “having”, and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, system, product, or device that includes a series of steps or modules is not necessarily limited to those steps or modules that are explicitly listed, but may include other steps or modules that are not explicitly listed or that are inherent to such process, method, product, or device.

[0036] To facilitate understanding, we will now combine... Figure 1 The application scenario is illustrated below. For example, this application scenario includes, but is not limited to, two master devices and four slave devices. For instance, the master devices are M1 and M2, and the slave devices are S1, S2, S3, and S4. Slave device S1 establishes a Bluetooth connection with master device M1 using key K1; slave device S2 establishes a Bluetooth connection with master device M1 using key K2; slave device S3 establishes a Bluetooth connection with master device M1 using key K3; and slave device S4 establishes a Bluetooth connection with master device M1 using key K4. Simultaneously, slave device S1 establishes a Bluetooth connection with master device M2 using key K1'; slave device S2 establishes a Bluetooth connection with master device M2 using key K2'; slave device S3 establishes a Bluetooth connection with master device M2 using key K3'; and slave device S4 establishes a Bluetooth connection with master device M2 using key K4'. Figure 1 It can be seen that when switching from the master device M1 to M2, the relevant technology requires each slave device S1, S2, S3 and S4 to connect to the master device M2 via Bluetooth using their respective keys K1', K2', K3' and K4', which is cumbersome and time-consuming.

[0037] Therefore, embodiments of this application provide a Bluetooth connection method, apparatus, system, electronic device, and storage medium, which are described below. Figures 2 to 8 To elaborate in detail.

[0038] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, a Bluetooth connection method is provided. This embodiment of the application uses the method applied to a master device as an example for illustration. In this embodiment, the method includes the following steps:

[0039] S101, detect the same shared authentication information sent by at least one slave device to be connected, the at least one slave device to be connected being located in a preset slave device group associated with the master device.

[0040] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this application, the master device and slave device include, but are not limited to, electronic devices such as mobile phones, tablets, desktop computers, electronic whiteboards, wireless handheld terminals, personal digital assistants (PDAs), headphones, keyboards, mice, speakers, and wearable devices. The master device and slave device can be interchanged depending on the usage scenario; that is, the roles of the master device and slave device are not fixed. For example, a master device may act as a master device in one usage scenario and as a slave device in another.

[0041] Authentication information includes, but is not limited to, key mechanisms, such as key K1 and key K1'. Shared authentication information means that in addition to using its own key, a slave device can also use the keys corresponding to other slave devices in a preset slave device group. For example, if the preset slave device group includes slave devices S1, S2, S3 and S4, then when slave device S1 connects to master device M2, slave device S1 can use not only key K1', but also key K2', key K3' or key K4'.

[0042] The pre-configured slave device group can be arbitrarily combined according to actual needs. For example, a pre-configured slave device group can include slave devices S1, S2, and S3, or it can include slave devices S1, S2, S3, and S4. The advantage of this configuration is greater flexibility and ease of use in diverse applications. For example... Figure 3As shown, it is a flowchart of a pre-configured slave device group provided in an embodiment of this application. First, in S201, different Bluetooth slave devices pair with the same master device. For example, slave devices S1, S2, and S3 pair with master device M1, or slave devices S1, S2, S3, and S4 pair with master device M1. Second, in S202, the master device constructs slave device groups. For example, slave device group ① includes slave devices S1, S2, and S3, or slave device group ② includes slave devices S1, S2, S3, and S4. Third, in S203, the master device obtains the key mechanisms for interaction between each slave device and the master device. For example, key K1 of slave device S1, key K2 of slave device S2, and key K3 of slave device S3, or key K1 of slave device S1, key K2 of slave device S2, key K3 of slave device S3, and key K4 of slave device S4. Finally, in S204, the master device stores the connection key mechanisms of different slave devices within the slave device group. For example, it stores key K1, key K2, and key K3 in the slave device group. In S205, the master device sets any key mechanism of a slave device to serve as an authentication condition for reconnection of each slave device in the slave device group. For example, slave device S1 in slave device group ① can use key K1, or key K2 or key K3. Then, in S206, the master device stores the key mechanism in each slave device of the slave device group. For example, the master device group may pre-configure a mapping relationship between at least one slave device and at least one slave device's historical authentication information. This mapping relationship is stored in a list format and can be a one-to-one mapping between slave devices and their historical authentication information, i.e., slave device S1 corresponds to key K1 and key K1', slave device S2 corresponds to key K2 and key K2', slave device S3 corresponds to key K3 and key K3', and slave device S4 corresponds to key K4 and key K4', etc., or as... Figure 4 As shown, it can also be a one-to-many mapping of the historical authentication information of the slave device and all slave devices, that is, the slave device S1 corresponds to key K1 and key K1', key K2 and key K2', key K3 and key K3', and key K4 and key K4', etc.

[0043] Optionally, the shared authentication information in this embodiment is extracted from historical authentication information in a specified order or a random order. Taking the example that slave devices S1, S2, S3, and S4 in the preset slave device group have all previously connected to the master device M2, the specified order can be any of ascending, descending, or interpolated order. That is, ascending order is key K1', key K2', key K3', and key K4'; descending order is key K4', key K3', key K2', and key K1'; and interpolated order is key K1', key K3', key K2', and key K4'. Similarly, the random order can be randomized, that is, key K2', key K3', key K1', and key K4'. Likewise, if none of the slave devices in the preset slave device group have previously connected to the master device M2, the shared authentication information can also be obtained according to a specified order or a random order.

[0044] Optionally, in this embodiment, when detecting shared authentication information, the preset slave device group is traversed, and the shared authentication information is compared with historical authentication information. The preset slave device group may include slave devices that have previously connected to the master device. For example, this embodiment may sequentially verify all keys stored by the slave device, namely key K1', key K2', key K3', and key K4'. Alternatively, some embodiments may first search for slave devices that have previously connected to the master device, and then compare the historical authentication information of those slave devices with the shared authentication information. This approach facilitates rapid location and significantly improves processing efficiency.

[0045] S102, when the shared authentication information is successfully verified, the master device and at least one slave device to be connected establish a Bluetooth connection.

[0046] Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, if the shared authentication information verification fails, it indicates that none of the slave devices in the preset slave device group have previously connected to the master device to be switched. In this case, the master device can still pair with one of the slave devices to be connected and store the shared authentication information in the preset slave device group. The advantage of this setting is that Bluetooth connections can be established in batches with only one switch, further improving processing efficiency.

[0047] In the Bluetooth connection method described above, multiple slave devices located in the preset slave device group can use the same shared authentication information for verification, which avoids the tediousness of individual verification. Thus, when the shared authentication information is verified, the master device can easily and quickly establish Bluetooth connections with multiple slave devices at the same time, which has the advantage of batch processing. This greatly improves processing efficiency and enhances the user experience.

[0048] It should be understood that, although Figure 2The steps in the flowchart are shown sequentially as indicated by the arrows, but these steps are not necessarily executed in the order indicated by the arrows. Unless otherwise specified in this document, there is no strict order in which these steps are executed; they can be performed in other orders. Furthermore, Figure 2 At least some of the steps in the process may include multiple sub-steps or multiple stages. These sub-steps or stages are not necessarily completed at the same time, but can be executed at different times. The execution order of these sub-steps or stages is not necessarily sequential, but can be executed in turn or alternately with other steps or at least some of the sub-steps or stages of other steps.

[0053] Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, a preset slave device group includes slave devices that have previously been connected to the master device.

[0054] Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, the mapping relationship includes a one-to-one mapping between the slave device and the slave device's historical authentication information;

[0055] Alternatively, the mapping relationship can include a one-to-many mapping between the slave device and the historical authentication information of all slave devices.

[0056] Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, the shared authentication information is extracted from historical authentication information in a specified order or a random order.

[0057] Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 6 As shown, the device also includes a pairing module, wherein:

[0058] The pairing module is configured to pair the master device with one of the slave devices to be connected when the shared authentication information verification fails, and to store the shared authentication information in a preset slave device group.
