[0002] As Bluetooth technology continues to mature, many public places (such as shopping malls, restaurants, etc.) now have Bluetooth beacons (Beacon). Bluetooth beacons will continuously send Bluetooth broadcasts to the surrounding environment. When an electronic device scans a Bluetooth broadcast, it will wake up the corresponding application software to provide users with services such as precision marketing. When an electronic device subscribes to multiple Bluetooth beacons, the electronic device needs to scan multiple Bluetooth broadcasts corresponding to the multiple Bluetooth beacons. Therefore, in order to accurately identify the target Bluetooth broadcast, the electronic device will set a Bluetooth filter for each subscribed Bluetooth beacon, resulting in excessive Bluetooth filter resources. Summary of the invention

[0003] The present application provides a method for generating a Bluetooth filter, a method for scanning a Bluetooth broadcast, and an electronic device, which solves the problem in the prior art of occupying too many Bluetooth filter resources in order to accurately identify a target Bluetooth broadcast.

The method includes: obtaining a beacon ID of each beacon to obtain multiple beacon IDs; determining a first common mask of the multiple beacon IDs; and generating a Bluetooth filter according to any one of the multiple beacon IDs and the first common mask.

[0006] Through the method provided in this embodiment, the Bluetooth filter generated by the electronic device can match multiple beacon IDs, thereby effectively reducing the number of Bluetooth filters set in the electronic device.

[0007] In some embodiments, determining a first common mask of multiple beacon IDs includes: converting the multiple beacon IDs into binary strings respectively; and performing a bitwise AND operation on the binary strings of the multiple beacon IDs to obtain the first common mask.

[0039] The technical solution provided in the embodiments of the present application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0040] It should be understood that in the description of the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise specified, " / " means or, for example, A / B can mean A or B; "and / or" in this article is merely a way to describe the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that three relationships may exist, for example, A and / or B can mean: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone.

[0041] In this embodiment, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and are not to be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of this embodiment, unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means two or more.

[0042] The following describes the embodiments of the present application in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. The terms used in the implementation method part of the embodiments of the present application are only used to explain the specific embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the present application.

[0043] A Bluetooth beacon is a physical device based on Bluetooth low energy (BLE) technology, which can also be called a beacon or a beacon device. With the continuous maturity and development of Bluetooth technology, beacons have been widely used in indoor positioning, geo-fencing, precision marketing, and touchless car keys. For example, by setting up beacons in public places such as shopping malls, restaurants, scenic spots, and underground parking lots, beacons can provide users with a series of precision marketing services such as product introductions, food introductions, scenic spot introductions, and parking space searches, thereby improving user experience.

[0044] Beacons establish communication connections with other electronic devices by sending Bluetooth broadcasts. Currently, the broadcast protocols used by beacons mainly include EddyStone, AltBeacon and iBeacon.

[0045] iBeacon is a "new low-power, low-cost signal transmitter that can be detected by nearby handheld electronic devices" and a set of protocols that can be used for indoor positioning systems.

[0046] Eddystone is a protocol standard based on Bluetooth low energy.

[0047] AltBeacon is a protocol standard released by the remote authentication dial inuser service network (radius network).

[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, the Bluetooth broadcast sent by the beacon usually includes: Access Address, BLE Advertising PDU (BLE Broadcast Protocol Data Unit) and CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check), among which, BLE Advertising PDU includes: Header, ADV Address, Flags and ADV Data. Among them, Access Address occupies 4 bytes, Header occupies 2 bytes, ADV Address occupies 6 bytes, Flags occupies 3 bytes, and CRC occupies 3 bytes. In addition, the number of bytes occupied by the broadcast data varies depending on the broadcast communication protocol.

[0049] In the iBeacon protocol, see Figure 1 As shown in the figure, BLE Advertising PDU includes: Length, Type, Company ID, Beacon Type, Proximity UUID, Major, Minor, Power, etc. Among them, Length occupies 1 Byte, Type occupies 1 Byte, Company ID occupies 2 Bytes, Beacon Type occupies 2 Bytes, Proximity UUID occupies 16 Bytes, Major occupies 2 Bytes, Minor occupies 2 Bytes, Power occupies 1 Byte.

[0050] Among them, Major is used to distinguish a group of associated beacons; Minor is used to identify beacons. It is understandable that electronic devices need to identify the universal unique identifier UUID when scanning Bluetooth broadcasts. Usually, the UUIDs of products from the same company are consistent.

[0051] It should be noted that in the iBeacon protocol, the distance of the beacon can be expressed as Proximity, where Proximity is an enumeration value. Enumeration is a fixed type, and an enumeration corresponds to several defined values, which are called enumeration values. For example, the enumeration of week is defined, and it has seven values, from Monday to Sunday, and each of these seven is called an enumeration value.

[0052] In addition, in the iBeacon protocol, Company ID and Beacon Type are both fixed values. For example, the fixed value of Company A's Company ID is 4C00, and the fixed value of Beacon Type is 0215; the fixed value of Company B's Company ID is 027D, and the fixed value of Beacon Type is 0215.

[0053] In the AltBeacon protocol, see Figure 1 As shown in the figure, BLE Advertising PDU includes: Length, Type, MfgID (factory identification), Beacon Code (beacon code), Beacon ID (beacon identification), Ref RSSI (reference signal strength) and Mfg RSVD (factory reserved). Among them, Length occupies 1 Byte, Type occupies 1 Byte, Mfg ID occupies 2 Bytes, BeaconCode occupies 2 Bytes, Beacon ID occupies 20 Bytes, Ref RSSI occupies 1 Byte, and Mfg RSVD occupies 1 Byte.

[0054] In the Eddystone protocol, see Figure 1 As shown in the figure, BLE Advertising PDU includes: Services (security services), Length, Type, UUID (universally unique identifier) ​​and EDDYSTONE FRAME (Eddystone protocol framework). Among them, Length, Type and UUID occupy 4 bytes in total, Services occupy 4 bytes, and EDDYSTONE FRAME occupies 20 bytes.

[0055] like Figure 1 As shown, EDDYSTONE FRAME includes: UID (unique beacon identifier), EID (encrypted temporary identifier), URL (broadcast URL), and TLM (broadcast own data).

[0056] See also Figure 1As shown, UID includes: Type, Power, Names Space ID (namespace identifier), Instance ID (instance identifier) ​​and RFU (reserved). Among them, Type occupies 1 Byte, Power occupies 1 Byte, Names Space ID occupies 10 Bytes, Instance ID occupies 6 Bytes, and RFU occupies 1 Byte.

[0057] EID includes: Type, Power, Ephemeral Identifiery (encrypted temporary identifier data) and NotUsed (identifier prohibited from use). Among them, Type occupies 1 Byte, Power occupies 1 Byte, and Ephemeral Identifiery occupies 8 Bytes.

[0058] URL includes: Type, Power, Prefix (webpage prefix) and Encoded URL (website URL). Among them, Type occupies 1 Byte, Power occupies 1 Byte, Prefix occupies 1 Byte, and Encoded URL occupies 17 Bytes.

[0059] TLM includes: Type, Version, Battery, Temperature, PDU Count, Time, and Not Used. Type occupies 1 Byte, Version occupies 1 Byte, Battery occupies 2 Bytes, Temperature occupies 2 Bytes, PDU Count occupies 4 Bytes, and Time occupies 4 Bytes.

[0060] The beacon identification (ID) is a unique identifier for each beacon. The composition of the beacon ID is usually different in different beacon broadcast protocols. The details are as follows.

[0061] In the AltBeacon protocol, see Figure 1 As shown, the beacon ID includes a Beacon ID part.

[0062] In the Eddystone protocol, see Figure 1 As shown, the beacon ID includes the Name Space ID and the Instance ID.

[0063] In the iBeacon protocol, see Figure 1 As shown, the beacon ID includes Proximity UUID, Major, and Minor.

[0064] Figure 2 Schematic diagram of a beacon communication system provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 As shown, the communication system includes a beacon and an electronic device, the beacon provides a beacon service, the electronic device subscribes to the service provided by the beacon, and sets a Bluetooth filter according to the beacon ID of the beacon. During operation, the beacon continuously sends Bluetooth broadcasts to the surrounding area, and the Bluetooth broadcasts carry the beacon ID. At the same time, electronic devices with Bluetooth function turned on will also continuously scan and filter Bluetooth broadcasts according to the Bluetooth filter to obtain the target Bluetooth broadcast carrying the beacon ID. After the electronic device scans the target Bluetooth broadcast, it will wake up the application software corresponding to the target Bluetooth broadcast to provide accurate services to users.

[0065] For example, when an electronic device scans a Bluetooth broadcast sent by a beacon in a shopping mall, it will wake up the shopping software corresponding to the Bluetooth broadcast and provide users with services about product introductions; or, when an electronic device scans a Bluetooth broadcast sent by a beacon in a scenic area, it will wake up the entertainment software corresponding to the Bluetooth broadcast and provide users with services about scenic spot introductions.

[0066] It should be noted that, in addition to proprietary beacons that can send Bluetooth broadcasts, mainstream electronic devices on the market, such as electric bicycles, new energy vehicles, mobile phones, and tablet computers, can also send Bluetooth broadcasts. In other words, a beacon can be an independently set electronic device, or a module or device integrated in other electronic devices, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

The demodulator is used to demodulate the received electromagnetic wave signal into a low-frequency baseband signal. The demodulator then transmits the demodulated low-frequency baseband signal to the baseband processor for processing. After the low-frequency baseband signal is processed by the baseband processor, it is passed to the application processor. The application processor outputs a sound signal through an audio playback device (not limited to a speaker 370A, a receiver 370B, etc.), or displays an image or video through a display screen 394.

[0097] Motor 391 can generate vibration prompts. Motor 391 can be used for incoming call vibration prompts, and can also be used for touch vibration feedback. For example, touch operations acting on different applications (such as taking pictures, audio playback, etc.) can correspond to different vibration feedback effects.

The types of the multiple cards can be the same or different.

[0100] The following is an exemplary introduction to the software architecture of the electronic device involved in this application.

[0101] The software system of the electronic device can adopt a layered architecture, an event-driven architecture, a micro-kernel architecture, a microservice architecture, or a cloud architecture. Among them, the layered architecture divides the software into several layers, each layer has a clear role and division of labor, and the layers communicate with each other through software interfaces. Taking the system as an example, the software structure of the electronic device is illustrated.

[0102] Figure 4 is a software structure block diagram of the electronic device provided in the embodiment of the present application. Figure 4 As shown, in In the system, the software architecture of the electronic device includes four layers, namely, the application layer, the service layer, the application framework layer and the hardware layer from top to bottom.

[0103] The application layer may include a series of application packages. For example, Figure 4 As shown, the application layer may include application packages corresponding to applications such as wallet, video, gallery, navigation, Bluetooth, music, etc., which are not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

[0104] In the application layer, some applications (also called apps) can subscribe to beacons by integrating near-field data communication (nearby software development kit, Nearby SDK). Among them, NearbySDK is a development kit provided to developers by the near-field communication service Nearby Service, and its NearbySDK provides an interface to support developers to subscribe to beacons through Nearby Service.

[0105] It should be noted that subscribing to a beacon can be understood as the application agreeing to establish a communication connection with the beacon to receive data sent by the beacon.

[0106] The service layer may include multiple functional modules, such as a subscription module, a Bluetooth scanning task module, and a filter merging module.

[0107] Among them, the subscription module is used to receive and record the subscription relationship between the application and the beacon. For example, the subscription module can receive and record the subscription relationship from application A subscribing to beacon A, or receive and record the subscription relationship from application A subscribing to beacon A, beacon B and beacon C, or receive and record the subscription relationship of application A subscribing to beacon A, application B subscribing to beacon B and application C subscribing to beacon C, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this. The Bluetooth scanning task module is used to receive the broadcast signal called back by the hardware (such as a Bluetooth chip) and the subscription relationship issued by the subscription module, send the beacon ID corresponding to the multiple beacons in the subscription relationship as a parameter to the filter merging module, and set the Bluetooth filter on the Bluetooth chip so that the Bluetooth chip starts the scanning task. The filter merging module is used to generate a Bluetooth filter based on the received multiple beacon IDs, and return the Bluetooth filter to the Bluetooth scanning task module.

[0108] The application framework layer, i.e., the operating system (OS) framework, provides an application programming interface (API) and a programming framework for the applications in the application layer, such as providing a Bluetooth call interface for Bluetooth. The application framework layer includes some predefined functions.

[0109] For example, Figure 4As shown, the application framework layer may include a window manager, a content provider, a view system, a resource manager, and the like. Among them, the window manager is used to manage window programs. The window manager can obtain the size of the display screen, determine whether the screen has a status bar, or participate in the execution of operations such as locking the screen and capturing the screen. The content provider is used to store and obtain data and make the data accessible to the application. The stored data may include video data, image data, audio data, and the like, and may also include call record data for dialing and receiving, user browsing history and bookmarks, and other data, which will not be repeated here. The resource manager provides various resources for the application, such as localized strings, icons, pictures, layout files, video files, and the like. The view system includes visual controls, such as controls for displaying text, controls for displaying pictures, and the like. The view system can be used to build applications. The display interface may be composed of one or more views. For example, a display interface including a marketing notification icon may include a view for displaying text and a view for displaying pictures.

[0110] The hardware layer may include hardware modules such as Bluetooth chips and Wi-Fi chips. Among them, the Bluetooth chip can perform specific scanning tasks according to the Bluetooth filter. The Wi-Fi chip can be connected to the microcontroller through the serial port to receive or output data.

[0111] The following describes the process of a beacon providing a beacon service to an electronic device in combination with the architecture of the beacon communication system and the hardware and software architecture of the electronic device.

[0112] It is understandable that, when an application installed on an electronic device subscribes to a certain beacon, when a user carries the electronic device into the broadcast range of the beacon, the electronic device will wake up the application to provide accurate services to the user.

[0113] Next, the application scenarios of beacons providing users with precision marketing services and unlocking car doors are introduced as examples. It should be understood that the embodiments of the present application are not limited to the above application scenarios, and may also include business processes implemented by other Bluetooth functions, such as indoor positioning, etc., which are not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0114] Figure 5 Schematic diagram of a beacon precision marketing service scenario provided by an embodiment of the present application. Figure 5As shown, when application A (such as a wallet) installed on an electronic device subscribes to beacon X (such as a beacon at a gas station), when a user carries the electronic device into a gas station and is within the broadcast range of beacon X, the Bluetooth chip can scan the Bluetooth broadcast continuously sent by beacon X, and match the beacon ID of beacon X carried by the Bluetooth broadcast with the set filter. If the match is successful, the Bluetooth chip will call back the matching result and the Bluetooth broadcast to the service layer, so that the service layer wakes up application A according to the recorded subscription relationship, so that the electronic device can display marketing information about the gas station to the user. In the above process, the user does not need to manually operate application A on the electronic device, that is, to provide users with accurate marketing services. For details, please refer to Figure 6 shown.

[0115] Figure 7 is a schematic diagram of a scenario in which a beacon unlocks a car door provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 7 As shown, when application B (such as a vehicle management application) installed on an electronic device subscribes to beacon Y (such as a beacon of a vehicle), when a user carries the electronic device into the broadcast range of the vehicle, the Bluetooth chip can scan the Bluetooth broadcast continuously sent by the car, and match the beacon ID corresponding to beacon Y carried by the Bluetooth broadcast with the set filter. If the match is successful, the Bluetooth chip will call back the matching result and the Bluetooth broadcast to the service layer, so that the service layer wakes up application B according to the recorded subscription relationship, thereby enabling application B to establish a Bluetooth link with beacon Y and provide the user with the service of unlocking the car door.

[0116] It is understandable that an electronic device usually needs to scan multiple Bluetooth broadcasts corresponding to multiple beacons. Therefore, in order to accurately identify the target Bluetooth broadcast, a Bluetooth filter set in the electronic device is used to identify the scanned Bluetooth broadcast.

[0117] Taking the iBeacon protocol as an example, the mapping relationship between the interface parameters and the protocol in the Bluetooth filter is as follows:

[0118] Manufacturer Id corresponds to Company ID.

[0119] Manufacturer Data corresponds to Beacon Type + Beacon ID (UUID + Major + Minor).

[0120] Manufacturer Data Mask manufacturer Data Mask (optional) corresponds to the mask of manufacturer Data.

[0121] Typically, Bluetooth filters are constructed in two ways:

[0122] The first one:

[0123] Set by beacon ID: The manufacturer Data field is set to Beacon Type and beacon ID, and the mask is not set or all values ​​in the mask are set to 1.

[0124] In the first case: the electronic device identifies the scanned Bluetooth broadcast, and when it is determined that the beacon ID carried in the Bluetooth broadcast matches each field in manufacturerData, it can be considered that the beacon ID matches the Bluetooth filter, that is, the Bluetooth broadcast is determined to be a target Bluetooth broadcast.

[0125] Second type:

[0126] According to the protocol header setting: the manufacturer data field is set to Beacon Type only, and the mask value is 0xFFFF.

[0127] In the second case: the electronic device identifies the scanned Bluetooth broadcast, and when it is determined that the beacon ID carried in the Bluetooth broadcast matches the Beacon Type, it can be considered that the beacon ID matches the Bluetooth filter, that is, the Bluetooth broadcast is determined to be a target Bluetooth broadcast.

[0128] Therefore, when an electronic device scans a Bluetooth broadcast by a beacon ID, it can only scan the Bluetooth broadcast corresponding to the specified beacon. If the application software wants to scan multiple Bluetooth broadcasts corresponding to multiple different beacons, it needs to set a Bluetooth filter for each beacon ID on the electronic device, which will occupy too many filter resources. However, the number of filters of an electronic device is usually 32. When all of them are occupied, other application software will not be able to use Bluetooth to communicate with other electronic devices; if the electronic device uses the protocol header scanning, under the same broadcast protocol, the electronic device will wake up the application processor when it scans any Bluetooth broadcast, which will cause the power consumption of the electronic device to be too high.

[0129] To this end, an embodiment of the present application provides a method for generating a Bluetooth filter and a method for scanning a Bluetooth broadcast, which can effectively reduce the number of filters set in an electronic device and prevent the application processor from being awakened by irrelevant Bluetooth broadcasts, thereby reducing the power consumption of the electronic device.

[0130] The following describes the generation of Bluetooth filters and the scanning process of Bluetooth broadcasts in the case of the iBeacon protocol, in combination with the architecture of the beacon communication system and the hardware and software architecture of the electronic device.

[0131] (I) Beacon subscription process

[0132] In an embodiment of the present application, the subscription module can receive and record the subscription relationship between multiple applications and beacons, and send the subscription relationship to the Bluetooth scanning task module.

[0133] It is understandable that each beacon corresponds to a unique beacon ID, so multiple applications can complete beacon subscription by subscribing to the beacon ID through their corresponding multiple application packages, so that the application recognizes the establishment of a communication connection with the beacon to receive the data sent by the beacon.

[0134] The beacon subscription process is described below in conjunction with beacon A, beacon B, and beacon C. Taking the beacon ID including UUID, Major, and Minor as an example, the beacon IDs of beacon A, beacon B, and beacon C are specifically shown in Table 1 below.

[0135] Table 1

[0136]

[0137] See also Figure 8 As shown, when the application packages corresponding to application A, application B, and application C respectively subscribe to the beacon ID of different beacons A, beacon ID of beacon B, and beacon ID of beacon C through the Nearby SDK, the subscription module will receive and record the subscription relationship of application A subscribing to beacon A, application B subscribing to beacon B, and application C subscribing to beacon C, and send the beacon ID of the beacon subscribed by the above applications to the Bluetooth scanning task module. Exemplarily, the subscription relationship is specifically shown in Table 2 below. The application ID in Table 2 can be the unique ID of the application.

[0138] Table 2

[0139] App ID Application package name Beacon ID ID(A) com.application.a FA85B431D702C96E406957FCE2B318ADC954FDE2 ID(B) com.application.b A4D91EB70F58C623D17E439FA68B05C2E6A7F01B ID(C) com.application.c F3B071CD682E9A450FD3BA74129CE85637AC86E0

[0140] (II) The process of generating Bluetooth filters

[0141] In an embodiment of the present application, the Bluetooth scanning task module passes the multiple beacon IDs received from the subscription module as parameters to the filter merging module, so that the filter merging module generates a Bluetooth filter based on the multiple beacon IDs.

[0142] The following takes beacon A subscribed by application A, beacon B subscribed by application B, and beacon C subscribed by application C as examples to explain the process of generating Bluetooth filters in detail:

[0143] like Figure 8As shown, when the Bluetooth scanning task module receives the beacon ID of beacon A, the beacon ID of beacon B and the beacon ID of beacon C sent by the subscription module, the Bluetooth scanning task module will pass the beacon IDs corresponding to beacon A, beacon B and beacon C as parameters to the filter merging module, so that the filter merging module generates Bluetooth filters for beacon A, beacon B and beacon C based on the beacon IDs corresponding to beacon A, beacon B and beacon C.

[0144] like Fig. 9 As shown, the specific steps of the filter merging module to generate Bluetooth filters are as follows:

[0145] S901: Acquire the beacon ID of each beacon to obtain multiple beacon IDs.

[0146] In this embodiment, the filter merging module receives the beacon ID of beacon A, the beacon ID of beacon B, and the beacon ID of beacon C sent by the subscription module.

[0147] S902: Determine a first common mask for multiple beacon IDs.

[0148] In the embodiment of the present application, the filter merging module will first convert the beacon ID of beacon A, the beacon ID of beacon B, and the beacon ID of beacon C into binary strings respectively.

[0149] Exemplarily, the binary character strings converted from the beacon ID of beacon A, the beacon ID of beacon B, and the beacon ID of beacon C are specifically shown in Table 3 below.

[0150] Table 3

[0151]

[0152] It should be noted that the lengths of beacon ID-A, beacon ID-B and beacon ID-C are all 20 bytes, so the character string obtained after conversion is a 160-bit binary character string.

[0153] Next, the filter merging module performs a "bitwise AND" operation on the binary strings of the above three beacon IDs to obtain a 160-bit binary string, namely the first common mask. The "bitwise AND" operation is to AND the corresponding binary bits of the two numbers involved in the operation. Only when the corresponding two binary bits are both 1, the result bit is 1.

[0154] It can be understood that the first common mask obtained after the “bitwise AND” operation is a binary string, as shown in Table 4 below.

[0155] Table 4

[0156]

[0157] In the embodiment of the present application, the number of bits with a value of 1 in the first common mask is the effective number of bits of the first common mask (ie, the number of bits with three binary bits all being 1).

[0158] It can be seen from Table 4 above that the effective number of bits of the first common mask is 26 bits.

[0159] In this embodiment, the effective number of bits of the first common mask of the Bluetooth filter is 26 bits. For any random beacon ID, the probability of matching the Bluetooth filter is 1 / 2. 26 Therefore, the Bluetooth filter generation method and scanning method provided in the embodiments of the present application can effectively shield the interference of irrelevant beacons and prevent applications from being woken up by mistake, thereby reducing the power consumption of electronic devices.

[0160] It can be understood that, based on the first common mask of the binary string, the first common mask of the hexadecimal string can be obtained, as shown in Table 5 below.

[0161] Table 5

[0162] name Hexadecimal string First common mask A08210010081A09020400214BC0020000048004

[0163] S903: Generate a Bluetooth filter according to any one beacon ID among the multiple beacon IDs and the first common mask.

[0164] In an embodiment of the present application, the filter merging module can generate a Bluetooth filter based on any one of beacon IDs among beacon ID-A, beacon ID-B and beacon ID-C and the first common mask, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

[0165] Exemplarily, the filter merging module may generate a Bluetooth filter according to the beacon ID-A and the first common mask, that is, generate a Bluetooth filter according to FA85B431D702C96E406957FCE2B318ADC954FDE2 and A08210010081A09020400214BC0020000048004.

[0166] As can be seen from the foregoing, Company A's Company ID is a fixed value of 4C00, and Beacon Type is a fixed value of 0215. In the embodiment of the present application, the Bluetooth filter generated by the filter merging module may also include: masks of Company ID and Beacon Type, such as mask FFFF corresponding to Company A's Company ID 4C00 and mask FFFF corresponding to Beacon Type 0215.

[0167] The Bluetooth filter finally generated by the filter merging module is shown in Table 6 below.

[0168] Table 6

[0169]

[0170] like Figure 8 As shown, after the filter merging module generates the above Bluetooth filter, it returns the Bluetooth filter to the Bluetooth scanning module, so that the Bluetooth scanning module sends the received Bluetooth filter to the Bluetooth chip, thereby enabling the Bluetooth chip to start a scanning task according to the Bluetooth filter.

[0171] (III) Beacon discovery callback process

[0172] In an embodiment of the present application, when the electronic device scans the Bluetooth broadcast sent by the beacon, it will parse the beacon ID carried by the Bluetooth broadcast and match it with the set Bluetooth filter.

[0173] Next, combine Fig.10 As shown, the matching process of the beacon ID carried by the Bluetooth broadcast and the Bluetooth filter by the electronic device is described in detail:

[0174] S1001: Scanning the Bluetooth broadcast sent by the beacon based on the Bluetooth filter.

[0175] It is understandable that beacon A, beacon B and beacon C will continue to send Bluetooth broadcasts. Based on this, for example Fig.11 As shown, assuming that the user enters the Bluetooth broadcast range of beacon B, the Bluetooth chip will scan the Bluetooth broadcast corresponding to beacon B.

[0176] In the embodiment of the present application, the Bluetooth broadcast of the beacon B scanned by the Bluetooth chip can be found in Fig.12 ,like Fig.12 As shown, 0X4C is the Company ID, 0X0215 is the Beacon Type, and A4D91EB70F58C623D17E439FA68B05C2E6A7F01B is the beacon ID, that is, beacon B.

[0177] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, for ease of reading, the fixed value 4C00 of Company ID can be abbreviated to 4C. Fig.12 The 0X in is a hexadecimal identifier.

[0178] S1002: Analyze the Bluetooth broadcast and obtain the beacon ID.

[0179] For example, the Bluetooth chip parses the Bluetooth broadcast of beacon B and obtains beacon ID-B: A4D91EB70F58C623D17E439FA68B05C2E6A7F01B.

[0180] S1003: Convert the parsed beacon ID and the beacon ID in the Bluetooth filter into binary strings respectively.

[0181] For example, the beacon ID-B parsed by the Bluetooth chip and the beacon ID-A in the Bluetooth filter are converted into binary strings respectively. Take the beacon ID-A and beacon ID-B as shown in Table 7 as an example, and the converted binary strings are specifically shown in Table 8 below.

[0182] Table 7

[0183] Beacon ID Name UUID Major Minor Beacon ID-A FA85B431D702C96E406957FCE2B318AD C954 FDE2 Beacon ID-B A4D91EB70F58C623D17E439FA68B05C2 E6A7 F01B

[0184] Table 8

[0185]

[0186] S1004: Perform a “bitwise AND” operation on the binary string of the beacon ID obtained by parsing and the binary string of the beacon ID in the Bluetooth filter to obtain a second common mask.

[0187] For example, after the Bluetooth chip performs a “bitwise AND” operation on the binary strings of beacon ID-A and beacon ID-B in Table 8 above, a second common mask as shown in Table 9 below is obtained.

[0188] Table 9

[0189]

[0190] As can be seen from Table 9, the effective number of bits of the second common mask is 80. In the embodiment of the present application, the number of bits with a value of 1 in the second common mask is the effective number of bits of the second common mask (ie, the number of bits with both 2 binary bits being 1).

[0191] S1005: Determine whether the number of significant digits of the first common mask is a subset of the number of significant digits of the second common mask.

[0192] It should be noted that the specific process of determining whether the number of valid digits of the first common mask is a subset of the number of valid digits of the second common mask is as follows:

[0193] The Bluetooth chip will compare the effective number of bits of the first common mask with the effective number of bits of the second common mask. If the effective number of bits in the second common mask is greater than or equal to the effective number of bits in the first common mask, it will determine that the effective number of bits in the first common mask is a subset of the effective number of bits in the second common mask, that is, the beacon ID matches the Bluetooth filter.

[0194] For example, the Bluetooth chip compares the effective number of bits of the first common mask in Table 9 above with the effective number of bits of the second common mask. Since the effective number of bits of the second common mask is 80 bits and the effective number of bits of the first common mask is 26 bits, the effective number of bits of the third mask is greater than the effective number of bits of the second common mask. The effective number of bits of the first common mask of the Bluetooth chip is a subset of the effective number of bits of the second common mask, and it is determined that beacon ID-B matches the Bluetooth filter.

[0195] In another embodiment, when the Bluetooth chip determines that the effective number of bits of the first common mask is not a subset of the effective number of bits of the second common mask, that is, the effective number of bits in the second common mask is less than the effective number of bits in the first common mask, the Bluetooth chip discards the scanned Bluetooth broadcast.

[0196] S1006: When it is determined that the number of valid digits of the first common mask is a subset of the number of valid digits of the second common mask, calling back the Bluetooth broadcast corresponding to the beacon ID obtained by parsing.

[0197] For example Fig.11 As shown, when the Bluetooth chip determines that beacon ID-B matches the Bluetooth filter, the Bluetooth chip will call back the Bluetooth broadcast corresponding to beacon ID-B to the Bluetooth scanning task module. The Bluetooth scanning task module will parse the beacon ID-B based on the Bluetooth broadcast and report the parsed beacon ID-B to the subscription module.

[0198] S1007: According to the beacon ID obtained by parsing, the Bluetooth broadcast corresponding to the beacon ID is sent to the corresponding application.

[0199] In the embodiments of the present application, Fig.11 As shown, when the subscription module receives beacon ID-B, it will determine the application B corresponding to beacon ID-B according to the subscription relationship in the above-mentioned subscription beacon embodiment, and send the Bluetooth broadcast corresponding to beacon ID-B to application B, so that application B can obtain the business information in the Bluetooth broadcast of beacon B and display the business information through the electronic device.

[0200] It is understandable that the business information is the precision marketing service provided by the beacon. For example, see Figure 6 As shown, the business information is the marketing service provided by Gas Station A using wallet discount payment.

[0201] The Bluetooth filter generation method and scanning method provided in the embodiment of the present application, on the one hand, can dynamically calculate the common mask of multiple beacon IDs, namely the first common mask, and generate a Bluetooth filter by combining any one of the multiple beacon IDs and the first common mask, so that the same Bluetooth filter can match multiple beacon IDs, thereby effectively reducing the number of Bluetooth filters set in the electronic device; on the other hand, in the embodiment of the present application, the effective number of bits of the second common mask is 26 bits, so the probability that any beacon ID can match the Bluetooth filter provided by this embodiment is 1 / 2 26 Therefore, the Bluetooth filter generation method and scanning method provided in the embodiments of the present application can effectively shield the interference of irrelevant beacons and prevent the application from being woken up by mistake, thereby reducing the power consumption of the electronic device.

[0202] It should be understood that the size of the serial numbers of the steps in the above embodiments does not mean the order of execution. The execution order of each process should be determined by its function and internal logic, and should not constitute any limitation on the implementation process of the embodiments of the present application.

[0203] Based on the same concept, as an implementation of the above method, an embodiment of the present application provides a device for generating a Bluetooth filter.
