Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of terminal technology, and in particular to a device connection method and related apparatus. Background Art

[0002] With the development of Internet technology, electronic devices logged in to the same account can establish a connection, and these electronic devices can also establish a connection with external devices in response to user operations. Among them, the electronic devices logged in to the same account to establish a connection means that the electronic device can find other electronic devices logged in to the same account as the electronic device. The user's operation may include enabling Bluetooth connection on the electronic device, etc. The electronic device may include mobile phones, computers, and tablets, etc., and the external device may include headphones, car computers, and keyboards, etc.

[0003] However, in the process of establishing a connection between an electronic device and an external device, a slow connection or even a connection failure may occur, which affects the user experience. Summary of the invention

[0004] The embodiments of the present application provide a device connection method and related apparatus, which are applied in the field of terminal technology and can enable an electronic device to establish a connection with an external device more quickly, thereby improving the user experience.

[0005] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a device connection method. The method includes:

[0006] At a first moment, the first device uses a first connection method to request to establish a communication connection with a second device; at a second moment, the first device and the second device execute a communication connection process based on the first connection method; at a third moment, the first device uses the first connection method to request to establish a communication connection with a third device; at a fourth moment, the first device and the second device continue to execute the communication connection process based on the first connection method, and the first device does not execute the communication connection process with the third device; at a fifth moment, the first device receives a first operation from a user, and the first operation is used to instruct the first device to establish a communication connection with a fourth device; at a sixth moment, the first device uses a second connection method to execute a communication connection process with the fourth device, and the second connection method is different from the first connection method.

[0007] Among them, the second moment is later than the first moment, the third moment is later than the second moment, the fourth moment is later than the third moment, and the fifth moment is later than the fourth moment; between the first moment and the fifth moment, the first device continues to execute the communication connection process with the second device, and the first device has not completed the communication connection with the second device; between the third moment and the fifth moment, the first device has not established a communication connection with the third device; at the sixth moment, the first device suspends the communication connection process with the second device.

[0008] In this way, since the first device can execute the communication connection process with the fourth device without waiting for the failure or timeout of establishing a communication connection with the second device, the speed of establishing a communication connection between the first device and the fourth device can be improved. In addition, if the first device successfully establishes a communication connection with the fourth device, the first device can notify the user more quickly that the communication connection between the first device and the fourth device has been successfully established, which can improve the user experience.

[0009] In one possible implementation, at the sixth moment, the first device suspends the communication connection process with the second device, and can: add the service discovery protocol SDP information of the second device and the first remaining execution time to the SDP queue; the first remaining execution time includes: the difference between the execution time threshold and the first executed time, and the first executed time includes: the time used by the first device and the second device to execute the communication connection process between the first moment and the sixth moment; remove the communication connection established between the first device and the second device from the connection task queue; and add the communication connection established between the first device and the third device to the connection task queue.

[0010] In this way, adding the service discovery protocol SDP information of the second device and the first remaining execution time to the SDP queue can prepare for subsequently establishing a communication connection between the first device and the second device and adding the first remaining execution time to the connection task queue.

[0011] In one possible implementation, at the second moment, the first device and the second device execute a communication connection process based on the first connection method, and can: add the SDP information of the second device to the SDP queue, and add the establishment of a communication connection between the first device and the second device to the connection task queue; at the third moment, after the first device adopts the first connection method to request to establish a communication connection with the third device, it can: add the SDP information of the third device to the SDP queue; at the fifth moment, after the first device receives the user's first operation, it can also: establish a communication connection between the first device and the fourth device and add it to the connection task queue.

[0012] In this way, when the first device uses the first connection mode to request to establish a communication connection with the second device, by adding the communication connection establishment between the first device and the second device to the connection task queue, the first device can quickly execute the communication connection process with the second device.

[0013] In one possible implementation, after establishing a communication connection between the first device and the fourth device and adding them to the connection task queue, it is also possible to: determine whether the time used by the first device and the second device to execute the communication connection process based on the first connection method is greater than the execution threshold; if the time used is greater than or equal to the execution threshold, the first device uses the second connection method to execute the communication connection process with the fourth device; if the time used is less than the execution threshold, the first device continues to execute the communication connection process with the second device until the time used is greater than or equal to the execution threshold, the first device uses the second connection method to execute the communication connection process with the fourth device, and the first device suspends the communication connection process with the second device.

[0014] In this way, after the first device receives the user's first operation, if the time taken by the first device and the second device to execute the communication connection process based on the first connection method is greater than or equal to the execution threshold, indicating that the time taken by the first device and the second device to establish a communication connection may be longer, the first device can execute the communication connection process with the fourth device, so that the first device can establish a communication connection with the fourth device more quickly, thereby improving the user experience; if the time taken by the first device and the second device to execute the communication connection process based on the first connection method is less than the execution threshold, the first device can also continue to execute the communication connection process with the second device, which may enable the first device and the second device to achieve business flow.

[0015] In a possible implementation, it is also possible that: at the seventh moment, the first device successfully establishes a communication connection with the fourth device; at the eighth moment, the first device and the third device execute a communication connection process based on the first connection method; at the ninth moment, the first device and the third device execute the communication connection process successfully or timeout; at the tenth moment, the first device and the second device execute the communication connection process.

[0016] Among them, the seventh moment is later than the sixth moment, the eighth moment is later than the seventh moment, the ninth moment is later than the eighth moment, and the tenth moment is later than the ninth moment; between the eighth moment and the ninth moment, the first device continues to execute the communication connection process with the third device, and the first device has not completed the communication connection with the third device; between the seventh moment and the ninth moment, the first device has not established a communication connection with the second device; at the ninth moment, the communication connection between the first device and the second device and the first remaining execution time are added to the connection task queue.

[0017] In this way, when the first device successfully establishes a communication connection with the fourth device and the first device successfully or times out the communication connection process with the third device, the first device can also execute the communication connection process with the second device, which may enable the first device and the second device to achieve business flow.

[0018] In a possible implementation, at the tenth moment, the time taken by the first device and the second device to execute the communication connection process is less than or equal to the first remaining execution time.

[0019] In this way, more time can be provided for the first device to execute the communication connection process with the other device, which may make it possible for the first device to successfully establish a communication connection with the other device.

[0020] In one possible implementation, at the eleventh moment, the first device receives a second operation of the user, and the second operation is used to instruct the first device to establish a communication connection with the fifth device, and the first operation and the second operation may be the same or different; at the twelfth moment, the first device uses the second connection method to execute a communication connection process with the fifth device; at the thirteenth moment, the first device successfully establishes a connection with the fifth device; at the fourteenth moment, the first device and the second device continue to execute the communication connection process based on the first connection method.

[0021] Among them, the eleventh moment is later than the tenth moment, the twelfth moment is later than the eleventh moment, the thirteenth moment is later than the twelfth moment, and the fourteenth moment is later than the thirteenth moment; at the twelfth moment, the first device suspends the communication connection process with the second device.

[0022] In this way, by enabling the first device and the fifth device to execute the communication connection process, the speed of establishing a communication connection between the first device and the fifth device can be improved. In addition, if the first device and the fifth device successfully establish a communication connection, the first device can more quickly notify the user that the first device and the fifth device have successfully established a communication connection, thereby improving the user experience.

[0023] In one possible implementation, at the twelfth moment, the first device suspends the communication connection process with the second device, and can: add the SDP information of the second device and the second remaining execution time to the SDP queue, the second remaining execution time including: the difference between the first remaining execution time and the second executed time, the second executed time including: the time taken by the first device and the second device to execute the communication connection process between the ninth moment and the twelfth moment; remove the communication connection established between the first device and the second device from the connection task queue; and add the communication connection established between the first device and the second device and the second remaining execution time to the connection task queue.

[0024] In this way, adding the service discovery protocol SDP information of the second device and the second remaining execution time to the SDP queue can prepare for subsequently establishing a communication connection between the first device and the second device and adding the second remaining execution time to the connection task queue.

[0025] In a possible implementation, at the fourteenth moment, the time taken by the first device and the second device to continue to execute the communication connection process based on the first connection mode is less than or equal to the second remaining execution time.

[0026] In this way, more time can be provided for the first device to execute the communication connection process with the other device, which may make it possible for the first device to successfully establish a communication connection with the other device.

[0053] In order to clearly describe the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, some terms and technologies involved in the embodiments of the present application are briefly introduced below:

[0054] 1. Smart interconnection: The smart interconnection of electronic devices can be used to establish connections between electronic devices and other electronic devices, and smart interconnection can also be used to establish connections between electronic devices and external devices. Among them, electronic devices and other electronic devices can log in to the same account, and the connection between electronic devices and other electronic devices is used to indicate: in the smart interconnection of electronic devices, other electronic devices that log in to the same account as the electronic device can be found. By establishing connections, electronic devices and other electronic devices can support various business functions such as notification flow and call flow.

[0055] Smart Connect can be an application on any electronic device.

[0056] 2. Trust ring interface: In the smart interconnection of electronic devices, the trust ring interface can be displayed. The trust ring interface of the electronic device can be used to monitor and manage the electronic device, other electronic devices and external devices. Through the trust ring interface, the user can monitor the status of the electronic device, other electronic devices and external devices, and the status can include battery power, etc. Through the trust ring interface, the user can also establish a connection between the electronic device and the external device by dragging icons and other operations. The connection between the electronic device and the external device by dragging icons and other operations can be achieved on any electronic device with a trust ring interface.

[0057] For example, Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a trust ring interface provided in an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 1 As shown, the trust ring interface includes the icon of the local device, the headset icon 101, and the tablet icon 102. Dragging the headset icon 101 to the tablet icon 102 indicates that the headset is connected to the tablet.

[0058] It should be understood that the trust ring interface can be any interface that can monitor and manage electronic devices, other electronic devices and external devices, and / or manage the trust ring network. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the style of the trust ring interface.

[0059] 3. Bluetooth socket connection and create bond connection: Bluetooth socket connection can be used by electronic devices to discover other electronic devices that are logged into the same account as the electronic device, that is, electronic devices establish connections with other electronic devices. Bluetooth socket connection is the core class for data exchange in the Bluetooth application programming interface (API).

[0060] Createbond connection can be used to establish a connection between an electronic device and an external device. Createbond connection is also the core class for data exchange in the Bluetooth API.

[0061] In an embodiment of the present application, a bluetooth socket connection may include a connection method used when an electronic device automatically initiates a communication connection with other electronic devices, and a createbond connection may include a connection method used when an electronic device initiates a communication connection with other electronic devices based on a user trigger.

[0062] In some implementations, before an electronic device establishes a connection with other electronic devices, it may be paired with other electronic devices through a createbond connection or other methods, or it may not be paired with other electronic devices. In the case of pairing with other electronic devices, the communication process of the Bluetooth socket connection may be encrypted, and in the case of not pairing with other electronic devices, the communication process of the Bluetooth socket connection is not encrypted. In the embodiment of the present application, there is no limitation on whether the electronic device is paired with other electronic devices. Next, the example of the electronic device not pairing with other electronic devices before the electronic device establishes a connection with other electronic devices is used for explanation.

[0063] 4. Other terms

[0064] In the embodiments of the present application, words such as "first" and "second" are used to distinguish the same or similar items with substantially the same functions and effects. For example, the first chip and the second chip are only used to distinguish different chips, and their order is not limited. Those skilled in the art can understand that words such as "first" and "second" do not limit the quantity and execution order, and words such as "first" and "second" do not necessarily limit them to be different.

[0065] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, words such as "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations or descriptions. Any embodiment or design described as "exemplary" or "for example" in the present application should not be interpreted as being more preferred or more advantageous than other embodiments or designs. Specifically, the use of words such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present related concepts in a specific way.

[0066] In the embodiments of the present application, "at least one" refers to one or more, and "more than one" refers to two or more. "And / or" describes the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that three relationships may exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone, where A and B can be singular or plural. The character " / " generally indicates that the previous and next associated objects are in an "or" relationship. "At least one of the following" or similar expressions refers to any combination of these items, including any combination of single or plural items. For example, at least one of a, b, or c can represent: a, b, c, ab, a--c, bc, or abc, where a, b, c can be single or multiple.

[0067] 5. Electronic equipment

[0068] The electronic device of the embodiment of the present application may include a handheld device, a vehicle-mounted device, etc. with a device connection function. For example, some electronic devices are: mobile phones, tablet computers, PDAs, laptop computers, mobile internet devices (MIDs), virtual reality (VR) devices, augmented reality (AR) devices, wireless terminals in industrial control, wireless terminals in self driving, wireless terminals in remote medical surgery, wireless terminals in smart grids, wireless terminals in transportation safety, wireless terminals in smart cities, wireless terminals in smart homes, cellular phones, cordless phones, session initiation protocol (SIP) phones, wireless local loop (WLL) stations, personal digital assistants (PDAs), handheld devices with wireless communication capabilities, computing devices or other processing devices connected to wireless modems, vehicle-mounted devices, terminal devices in 5G networks or future evolved public land mobile communication networks (PLANs), and wireless terminals in smart cities. The embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0069] As an example but not limitation, in the embodiments of the present application, the electronic device may also be a wearable device. Wearable devices may also be referred to as wearable smart devices, which are a general term for wearable devices that are intelligently designed and developed using wearable technology for daily wear, such as glasses, gloves, watches, clothing, and shoes. A wearable device is a portable device that is worn directly on the body or integrated into the user's clothes or accessories. Wearable devices are not only hardware devices, but also powerful functions achieved through software support, data interaction, and cloud interaction. Broadly speaking, wearable smart devices include full-featured, large-sized, and fully or partially independent of smartphones, such as smart watches or smart glasses, as well as devices that only focus on a certain type of application function and need to be used in conjunction with other devices such as smartphones, such as various types of smart bracelets and smart jewelry for vital sign monitoring.

[0070] In addition, in the embodiments of the present application, the electronic device can also be a terminal device in the Internet of Things (IoT) system. IoT is an important part of the future development of information technology. Its main technical feature is to connect objects to the network through communication technology, thereby realizing an intelligent network that interconnects people and machines and things.

[0071] The electronic devices in the embodiments of the present application may also be referred to as: terminal equipment, user equipment (UE), mobile station (MS), mobile terminal (MT), access terminal, user unit, user station, mobile station, mobile station, remote station, remote terminal, mobile device, user terminal, terminal, wireless communication equipment, user agent or user device, etc.

[0072] In an embodiment of the present application, the electronic device or each network device includes a hardware layer, an operating system layer running on the hardware layer, and an application layer running on the operating system layer. The hardware layer includes hardware such as a central processing unit (CPU), a memory management unit (MMU), and a memory (also called main memory). The operating system can be any one or more computer operating systems that implement business processing through processes, such as Linux operating system, Unix operating system, Android operating system, iOS operating system, or Windows operating system. The application layer includes applications such as browsers, address books, word processing software, and instant messaging software.

[0073] When the electronic device establishes a connection with an external device, the connection may be slow or even fail. Next, take the example of dragging an icon in the trust ring interface of the electronic device to establish a connection with the external device, and the electronic device is a tablet, the other electronic device is a mobile phone, and the external device is a headset.

[0074] It should be understood that only when the icon of the headset appears in the trust ring interface of the tablet computer can the tablet computer and the headset be connected by dragging the icon, wherein there are multiple ways to make the icon of the headset appear in the trust ring interface of the tablet computer.

[0075] One implementation method is: after the mobile phone and the tablet computer are connected, the mobile phone and the headset are connected. When the mobile phone and the headset are connected successfully, the headset icon can appear on the trust ring interface of the tablet computer; another implementation method is: after the mobile phone and the headset are connected, the mobile phone and the tablet computer are connected. When the mobile phone and the tablet computer are connected successfully, the headset icon can appear on the trust ring interface of the tablet computer.

[0076] In some implementations, when the headset icon is visible in the trust ring interface of the tablet computer, the tablet computer and the headset can be connected by dragging the icon. Figure 2 The schematic diagram of establishing a connection between a tablet computer and a headset provided in an embodiment of the present application should be understood as follows: Figure 2 It is explained from the perspective of a tablet computer, such as Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:

[0077] S201, Smart Interconnect initiates a request to establish a connection with device A via a bluetooth socket connection.

[0078] It should be understood that before the tablet computer establishes a connection with the headset, the tablet computer may also need to establish connections with other electronic devices. For example, in an embodiment of the present application, it is taken as an example that the tablet computer may also need to establish connections with device A and device B. Since the system Bluetooth can process connection establishment requests serially, the system Bluetooth can first process the request to establish a connection with device A, and then process the request to establish a connection with device B.

[0079] In the embodiment of the present application, device A refers to other electronic devices that log in the same account as the tablet computer and are not displayed on the trust ring interface, indicating that device A has not established a connection with the tablet computer. It is understandable that when the tablet computer turns on smart interconnection, smart interconnection can initiate a request to establish a connection with other electronic devices that log in the same account as the tablet computer every preset time, and the preset time is, for example, 5 minutes (minutes, mins), or 3 minutes, etc.

[0080] S202: The socket management module sets the service discovery protocol (SDP) information of device A, and adds the SDP information of device A to the SDP queue.

[0081] The SDP information of device A can be used by the tablet computer to discover device A and establish a connection with device A. The SDP information of device A may include port information, transmission protocol and / or encoding method used by device A to establish a connection.

[0082] The SDP queue is used to store and manage the SDP information of one or more electronic devices. When the SDP module of the tablet computer processes the SDP message in the SDP queue, a serial method can be used so that the SDP information can be processed in a certain order. In the embodiment of the present application, the SDP information added to the SDP queue first can be processed first, and the SDP information added to the SDP queue later can be processed later. That is to say, in some implementations, the SDP information of device A is added to the SDP queue first, indicating that the SDP information of device A is processed first.

[0083] In a possible implementation, the socket management module sets the SDP information of device A, which may include: querying the SDP information of device A, and when device A returns the SDP information of device A to the socket management module, the socket management module may parse the SDP information. When the socket management module successfully parses the SDP information of device A, the SDP information of device A may be added to the SDP queue, so that the SDP module may process the information in the SDP queue in sequence.

[0084] S203: The SDP module adds the task of establishing a connection with device A to a connection task queue.

[0085] In a possible implementation, when the SDP information of device A exists in the SDP queue, the SDP module adds the task of establishing a connection with device A to the connection task queue.

[0086] S204: The link management module initiates a connection with device A.

[0087] In a possible implementation, when there is a task for establishing a connection with device A in the connection task queue, the link management module may initiate establishing a connection with device A.

[0088] S205, Smart Interconnect initiates a request to establish a connection with device B via a bluetooth socket connection.

[0089] In the embodiment of the present application, when the system Bluetooth processes the request to establish a connection with device A, the smart interconnection can initiate a request to establish a connection with device B through a bluetooth socket connection, and the system Bluetooth can process the request to establish a connection with device B. Among them, device B refers to other electronic devices that are logged in to the same account as the tablet computer and are not displayed on the trust ring interface, indicating that device B has not established a connection with the tablet computer.

[0090] S206. The socket management module sets the SDP information of device B and adds the SDP information of device B to the SDP queue.

[0091] The SDP information of device B may be used by the tablet computer to discover device B and establish a connection with device B. The SDP information of device B may include port information, transmission protocol and / or encoding method used by device B to establish a connection.

[0092] In an embodiment of the present application, the SDP information of device B is added to the SDP queue. At this time, the SDP information of device A and the SDP information of device B may exist in the SDP queue at the same time. Since the SDP information can be processed in a serial processing manner, that is, a possible implementation method includes: processing the SDP information according to the order of the SDP information in the SDP queue, and the SDP information of device A is added to the SDP queue earlier than the SDP information of device B. Therefore, the SDP module can process the SDP information of device B after completing the processing of the SDP information of device A.

[0093] In a possible implementation, the socket management module sets the SDP information of device B, which may include: querying the SDP information of device B, and when device B returns the SDP information of device B to the socket management module, the socket management module may parse the SDP information. When the socket management module successfully parses the SDP information of device B, the SDP information of device B may be added to the SDP queue, so that the SDP module may process the information in the SDP queue in sequence.

[0094] S207, the smart interconnection initiates a request to establish a connection with the headset through a createbond connection.

[0095] In a possible implementation, in response to a user dragging an icon on the trust ring interface, Smart Connect may initiate a request to establish a connection with the headset through a createbond connection.

[0096] S208: The device management module adds the task of establishing a connection with the headset to a connection task queue.

[0097] In an embodiment of the present application, when the device management module receives a request initiated by Smart Interconnect to establish a connection with the headset, the device management module can add the task of establishing a connection with the headset to the connection task queue. In a possible implementation, when the device management module adds the task of establishing a connection with the headset to the connection task queue, the task of establishing a connection with device A in the connection task queue has not been completed, that is, the connection with device A has not been successfully established. At this time, there can be tasks in the connection task queue at the same time: establishing a connection with device A and establishing a connection with the headset.

[0098] In relevant implementations, the link management module may process the link task queue in a serial processing manner, that is, a possible implementation method includes: the link management module executes the tasks according to the order of the tasks in the connection task queue, and the task of establishing a connection with device A is added to the connection task queue earlier than the task of establishing a connection with the headset. Therefore, the link management module can execute the task of establishing a connection with the headset only when the connection with device A is successfully established or the connection with device A times out.

[0099] Next, an example is given in which the link management module performs the task of establishing a connection with the headset when the connection with device A times out.

[0100] S209: When the unresponsive time for establishing a connection with device A reaches a first threshold, the link management module removes the task of establishing a connection with device A from the connection task queue, and initiates establishing a connection with the headset.

[0101] The first threshold is used to indicate the maximum permissible time for establishing a connection with device A. The first threshold is, for example, 8 seconds (s). When the no response time for establishing a connection with device A reaches 8s, it indicates that the connection with device A has timed out.

[0102] When the unresponsive time for establishing a connection with device A reaches a first threshold, the link management module can remove the task of establishing a connection with device A from the connection task queue. At this time, there may only be a task of establishing a connection with the headset in the connection task queue, and the link management module can start executing the task of establishing a connection with the headset. In other words, the link management module can initiate a connection with the headset.

[0103] S210 . The SDP module removes the SDP information of device A from the SDP queue, and adds the task of establishing a connection with device B to the connection task queue.

[0104] When the connection with device A times out, the SDP module may remove the SDP information of device A from the SDP queue. At this time, only the SDP information of device B may exist in the SDP queue. The SDP module may add the task of establishing a connection with device B to the connection task queue.

[0105] In a possible implementation, when the task of establishing a connection with device B is added to the connection task queue, the tablet computer has not successfully established a connection with the headset. At this time, there may be tasks in the connection task queue at the same time: establishing a connection with the headset, and establishing a connection with device B. The link management module can only execute the task of establishing a connection with device B when the connection with the headset is successfully established or the connection with the headset times out.

[0106] S211. The headset establishes a connection with the tablet computer and performs authentication and encryption.

[0107] In a possible implementation, in response to a request initiated by the link management module to establish a connection with the headset, the headset can establish a connection with the tablet computer and perform identity authentication. After completing the identity authentication, the connection between the headset and the tablet computer can be encrypted. The identity authentication is used to verify the identities of the headset and the tablet computer so that the headset and the tablet computer can establish a connection. The identity authentication can be achieved through a personal identification number (PIN) or a pairing code. The encryption is used to ensure that data transmission between the headset and the tablet computer is secure. The encryption can be achieved through a security manager protocol (SMP). The embodiment of the present application does not limit the methods of identity authentication and encryption.

[0108] S212. The tablet computer successfully establishes a connection with the headset. The link management module notifies the smart interconnection that the connection with the headset is successful, removes the task of establishing a connection with the headset from the connection task queue, and initiates a connection with device B.

[0109] Exemplarily, a successful connection between the tablet computer and the headset may indicate that a successful connection between the tablet computer and the headset is established within the Bluetooth system.

[0110] When the system Bluetooth successfully establishes a connection with the headset, the link management module can notify the device management module to successfully establish a connection with the headset, the device management module can notify Smart Connect to successfully establish a connection with the headset, Smart Connect can return the successful connection with the headset to the user, and the link management module can also remove the task of establishing a connection with the headset from the connection task queue. At this time, the connection task queue only has the task of establishing a connection with device B. The link management module can start executing the task of establishing a connection with device B and initiate a connection with device B.

[0111] S213: When the unresponsive time for establishing a connection with the headset reaches a second threshold, the smart interconnection notification system Bluetooth cancels the connection with the headset.

[0112] The second threshold is used to indicate the maximum permissible time for establishing a connection with the headset. The second threshold is, for example, 10 seconds. When the no response time for establishing a connection with the headset reaches 10 seconds, it indicates that the connection with the headset has failed.

[0113] It should be understood that the maximum allowable time for the tablet computer to establish a connection with the headset in a manner other than dragging the icon may be in the first time interval, and the first time interval is, for example, [3,4], indicating that if the time for the tablet computer to establish a connection with the headset exceeds 4s, the tablet computer and the headset fail to establish a connection.

[0114] However, in smart interconnection, the maximum allowable time for the tablet computer to establish a connection with the headset can be increased by a second time interval on the basis of the first time interval. For example, the second time interval is (0,8], indicating that the minimum time for the tablet computer to establish a connection with the headset can be 3s, and the maximum time can be 12s. That is to say, if the time for the tablet computer to establish a connection with the headset exceeds 12s, the tablet computer and the headset fail to establish a connection. In order to provide a better user experience, the second threshold value can be any value less than or equal to 12s. In the embodiment of the present application, the maximum allowable time for the tablet computer to establish a connection with the headset is 10s, that is, the second threshold value is 10s. For example,

[0115] In a possible implementation, when the unresponsive time for establishing a connection with the headset reaches a second threshold, within the system Bluetooth, the system Bluetooth tablet computer may successfully establish a connection with the headset, or the tablet computer may not successfully establish a connection with the headset.

[0116] In the system Bluetooth, if the tablet computer successfully establishes a connection with the headset, and the link management module also successfully notifies the smart interconnection that the connection with the headset is successfully established, the smart interconnection can notify the system Bluetooth to cancel the connection with the headset. That is to say, in the trust ring interface of the smart interconnection, it will be displayed that the connection with the headset fails. In the embodiment of the present application, the style of displaying the failure to establish a connection with the headset on the trust ring interface is not limited;

[0117] Within the system Bluetooth, if the tablet has not successfully established a connection with the headset, Smart Connect can also notify the system Bluetooth to cancel the connection with the headset.

[0118] S214: The system Bluetooth cancels the connection with the headset.

[0119] It should be understood that if the tablet computer and the headset are successfully connected within the system Bluetooth, canceling the connection with the headset means disconnecting the connection between the tablet computer and the headset; if the tablet computer and the headset have not been successfully connected within the system Bluetooth, canceling the connection with the headset means stopping the task of establishing a connection with the headset, and the tablet computer and the headset fail to establish a connection.

[0120] In the above embodiment, the system Bluetooth, socket management module, device management module, SDP module, and link management module can refer to the description in the subsequent embodiments, and will not be repeated here. Figure 2 The steps in the corresponding embodiments are all optional, the order of the steps can be exchanged, and the layers, modules or units executed by each step can be replaced by any achievable method without limitation.

[0121] Since the link management module can execute the tasks in the connection task queue in sequence, that is, the task of establishing a connection with the headset in the task queue can only be started when the task of establishing a connection with device A is completed or times out, the speed of establishing a connection with the headset will be slow, resulting in a poor user experience.

[0122] In addition, before the task of establishing a connection with device A is completed or times out, the user can request to establish a connection with the headset by dragging the icon in Smart Connect. If Smart Connect has not received the system Bluetooth notification of successful connection with the headset when the time for requesting to establish a connection with the headset exceeds the second threshold, Smart Connect will display to the user that the connection with the headset has failed, resulting in a poor user experience.

[0123] In view of this, an embodiment of the present application provides a device method and related apparatus. During the process of establishing a connection between an electronic device and other electronic devices, if the electronic device receives a request initiated by a user to establish a connection with an external device, the electronic device first executes the task of establishing a connection with the external device. In this way, there is no need to wait for the failure or timeout of establishing a connection with other electronic devices before initiating a connection with the external device, thereby being able to establish a connection with the external device more quickly. In addition, if the connection with the external device is successfully established, the system Bluetooth can also more quickly notify the application of the successful connection with the external device, thereby improving the user experience.

[0124] The device connection method provided in the embodiment of the present application can be implemented based on an electronic device. To facilitate understanding of the device connection method provided in the embodiment of the present application, the hardware structure of the electronic device provided in the embodiment of the present application is introduced below.

[0125] For example, Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the structure of an electronic device provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0126] The electronic device may include a processor 310, an external memory interface 320, an internal memory 321, a universal serial bus (USB) interface 330, a charging management module 340, a power management module 341, a battery 342, an antenna 1, an antenna 2, a mobile communication module 350, a wireless communication module 360, an audio module 370, a speaker 370A, a receiver 370B, a microphone 370C, an earphone interface 370D, a sensor module 380, a button 390, a motor 391, an indicator 392, a camera 393, and a subscriber identification module (SIM) card interface, etc. The sensor module 380 may include a pressure sensor 380A, a gyroscope sensor 380B, an air pressure sensor 380C, a magnetic sensor 380D, an acceleration sensor 380E, a distance sensor 380F, a proximity light sensor 380G, a fingerprint sensor 380H, a temperature sensor 380J, a touch sensor 380K, an ambient light sensor 380L, a bone conduction sensor 380M, etc.

[0127] It is to be understood that the structure illustrated in the embodiment of the present invention does not constitute a specific limitation on the electronic device. In other embodiments of the present application, the electronic device may include more or fewer components than shown in the figure, or combine certain components, or split certain components, or arrange the components differently. The illustrated components may be implemented by hardware, software, or a combination of software and hardware.

[0128] The processor 310 may include one or more processing units, for example, the processor 310 may include an application processor (AP), a modem processor, a graphics processor (GPU), an image signal processor (ISP), a controller, a video codec, a digital signal processor (DSP), a baseband processor, and / or a neural-network processing unit (NPU), etc. Different processing units may be independent devices or integrated into one or more processors.

[0129] The controller can generate operation control signals according to the instruction operation code and timing signal to complete the control of instruction fetching and execution.

[0130] The processor 310 may also be provided with a memory for storing instructions and data. In some embodiments, the memory in the processor 310 is a cache memory. The memory may store instructions or data that the processor 310 has just used or cyclically used. If the processor 310 needs to use the instruction or data again, it may be directly called from the memory. This avoids repeated access, reduces the waiting time of the processor 310, and thus improves the efficiency of the system.

[0131] In some embodiments, the processor 310 may include one or more interfaces. The interface may include an inter-integrated circuit (I2C) interface, an inter-integrated circuit sound (I2S) interface, a pulse code modulation (PCM) interface, a universal asynchronous receiver / transmitter (UART) interface, a mobile industry processor interface (MIPI), a general-purpose input / output (GPIO) interface, a SIM card interface, and / or a USB interface, etc.

[0132] It is understandable that the interface connection relationship between the modules illustrated in the embodiments of the present application is only a schematic illustration and does not constitute a structural limitation on the electronic device. In other embodiments of the present application, the electronic device may also adopt different interface connection methods in the above embodiments, or a combination of multiple interface connection methods.

[0133] The camera 393 can be used to capture still images or videos. In some embodiments, the electronic device may include at least one camera 393. The internal memory 321 may be used to store computer executable program codes, and the executable program codes include instructions. The internal memory 321 may include a program storage area and a data storage area. Among them, the program storage area may store an operating system, an application required for at least one function (such as an image capture function, an image editing function, etc.), etc. The data storage area may store data created during the use of the electronic device (such as image data, video streams, etc.), etc. In addition, the internal memory 321 may include a high-speed random access memory, and may also include a non-volatile memory, such as at least one disk storage device, a flash memory device, a universal flash storage (UFS), etc. The processor 310 executes various functional applications and data processing of the electronic device by running instructions stored in the internal memory 321, and / or instructions stored in a memory provided in the processor.

[0134] Illustratively, in an embodiment of the present application, by running the executable program code related to the device connection method provided in the embodiment of the present application by the processor 310, it is possible to initiate a connection with an external device without waiting for a connection with other electronic devices to succeed, fail, or time out, thereby establishing a connection with an external device more quickly.

[0135] Figure 4 A software structure block diagram of an electronic device provided in an embodiment of the present application. The layered architecture divides the software into several layers, each with clear roles and division of labor. The layers communicate with each other through software interfaces. In some embodiments, the operating system can be divided into four layers, namely, from top to bottom, the application layer (applications), the application framework layer (application framework), the native service layer (native) and the driver layer (driver).

[0136] The application layer can include a series of application packages, and the application layer runs applications by calling the API provided by the application framework layer. Figure 4 As shown, the application package may include applications such as smart interconnection, sports health, Bluetooth connection, wireless fidelity (wifi) connection, and camera application. Applications may include system applications and third-party applications.

[0137] The application framework layer provides API and programming framework for the application layer. The application framework layer includes some predefined functions. Figure 4As shown, the application framework layer may include a Bluetooth manager (bluetoothmanager), a wireless fidelity manager (wifi manager), and a camera manager (camera manager), etc.

[0138] The local layer is used to directly interact with the underlying functions of the hardware or operating system. The local layer may include an API provided by the operating system, such as Figure 4 As shown, the local layer includes a Bluetooth protocol stack, WiFi, and camera, etc. The SDP module and the link management module in the above embodiment may be in the Bluetooth protocol stack.

[0139] Among them, the SDP module is used to manage the connection task queue, and managing the connection task queue may include: adding the task of establishing a connection with other electronic devices to the connection task queue, removing the task of establishing a connection with other electronic devices from the connection task queue, adding the task of establishing a connection with an external device to the connection task queue, or removing the task of establishing a connection with an external device from the connection task queue; the SDP module can also manage the SDP queue, and managing the SDP queue may include: adding the SDP information of the electronic device or other electronic devices to the SDP queue, or removing the SDP information of the electronic device or other electronic devices from the SDP queue.

[0140] The link management module is used to serially execute tasks in the connection task queue.

[0141] The driver layer is the layer between hardware and software. Figure 4 As shown, the driver layer may include one or more of the following: a bluetooth driver, a wireless fidelity driver (wifi driver), and a camera device driver (cameradriver), etc.

[0142] The socket management module and the device management module in the above embodiments can be located in one or more layers of the application layer, the application framework layer, the local service layer and the driver layer. That is to say, the application layer, the application framework layer, the local service layer and / or the driver layer can be combined to implement the corresponding functions of the socket management module and the device management module.

[0143] Among them, the socket management module can be used to set the SDP information of other electronic devices, and the socket management module can also be used to manage the SDP queue.

[0144] The device management module may be used to receive a message indicating a successful or failed connection between the electronic device and the external device. The device management module may also be used to add a task of connecting to the external device to a connection task queue.

[0145] The system Bluetooth described in this application may include: a socket management module, a device management module, an SDP module, and a link management module. By combining these modules, the system Bluetooth can process requests initiated by Smart Interconnect to establish connections with other electronic devices, and requests initiated by Smart Interconnect to establish connections with external devices.

[0146] It should be understood that in some embodiments, the layers implementing the same function may be called by other names, or the layers capable of implementing the functions of multiple layers may be regarded as one layer, or the layers capable of implementing the functions of multiple layers may be divided into multiple layers. The embodiments of the present application are not limited to this.

[0147] It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application are only illustrated using the Android operating system as an example. In other operating systems (such as the Windows operating system, the iOS operating system, etc.), as long as the functions implemented by each functional module are similar to those in the embodiments of the present application, the solutions of the present application can also be implemented.

[0148] The device connection method provided in the embodiment of the present application is described below in conjunction with specific embodiments. The following embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar conceptual processes may not be described in detail in some embodiments.

[0149] Figure 5 A schematic diagram of a device connection method provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 5 As shown, the method includes:

[0150] S501, Smart Interconnect initiates a request to establish a connection with device A via a bluetooth socket connection.

[0151] S502: The socket management module sets the SDP information of device A and adds the SDP information of device A to the SDP queue.

[0152] S503: The SDP module adds the task of establishing a connection with device A to a connection task queue.

[0153] In the embodiment of the present application, the specific implementation of S501-S503 is consistent with S201-S203 and will not be repeated here.

[0154] S504: The link management module initiates a connection with device A and records a start time of initiating the connection with device A.

[0155] In a possible implementation, when there is a task to establish a connection with device A in the connection task queue, the link management module may initiate a connection with device A and may record the start time of initiating the connection with device A through a timer or other means.

[0156] For example, by recording the start time of initiating the connection with device A, in the subsequent execution method, when Smart Connect initiates a request to establish a connection with the headset through the createbond connection, the time used to establish the connection with device A can be judged. If the time is too long, the connection with device A is canceled, so that the link management module can execute the task of establishing a connection with the headset and initiate the connection with the headset.

[0157] In this way, the link management module can initiate a connection with the headset without failing to establish a connection with device A or timing out the connection with device A, which can speed up the speed of establishing a connection with the headset. In addition, if the connection with the headset is successfully established, the user experience can be further improved.

[0158] S505, Smart Interconnect initiates a request to establish a connection with device B via a bluetooth socket connection.

[0159] S506: The socket management module sets the SDP information of device B and adds the SDP information of device B to the SDP queue.

[0160] S507: Smart Connect initiates a request to establish a connection with the headset through a createbond connection.

[0161] S508: The device management module adds the task of establishing a connection with the headset to a connection task queue.

[0162] In the embodiment of the present application, the specific implementation of S505-S508 is consistent with S205-S208 and will not be repeated here.

[0163] When the application layer initiates a request to establish a connection with an external device through a createbond connection, the link management module can prioritize the task of initiating a connection with an external device through a createbond connection, and then initiate a connection with other electronic devices through a bluetoothsocket connection.

[0164] It should be understood that when the application layer initiates a request to establish a connection with an external device through a createbond connection, it is determined whether the time taken by the link management module to initiate the connection with other electronic devices is less than a third threshold. If it is less than the third threshold, the timer is started to wait. If it is equal to the third threshold, the initiation of establishing a connection with other electronic devices is canceled, and the establishment of a connection with the external device is initiated; if it is greater than the third threshold, the initiation of establishing a connection with other electronic devices is canceled, and the establishment of a connection with the external device is initiated. The specific implementation method can refer to S509-S514.

[0165] The third threshold may be set to any value that is less than or equal to the first threshold. In order to enable the user to obtain a better experience, the third threshold may be any value that is less than the first threshold.

[0166] In the embodiment of the present application, an external device, for example, includes headphones, and other electronic devices, for example, include device A.

[0167] It should be understood that, exemplarily, when there are both tasks of establishing a connection with device A and tasks of establishing a connection with headphones in the connection task queue, S509-S514 can be used to enable the tablet computer to establish a connection with the headphones more quickly, so that the system Bluetooth of the tablet computer can quickly notify the smart interconnect that the connection with the headphones is successfully established, thereby improving the user experience.

[0168] S509: When the unresponsive time for establishing a connection with device A reaches a third threshold, the link management module removes the task of establishing a connection with device A from the connection task queue, and initiates establishing a connection with the headset.

[0169] It should be understood that the description of the third threshold in the embodiment of the present application can refer to the description of the third threshold in the above embodiment. In the following embodiment, the third threshold of 2s is taken as an example for description.

[0170] In a possible implementation, when there is no response time for establishing a connection with device A is greater than or equal to 2s, the link management module can cancel the connection with device A and remove the task of establishing a connection with device A from the connection task queue. At this time, the connection task queue may only have the task of establishing a connection with the headset, and the link management module can initiate a connection with the headset.

[0171] S510. The SDP module adds the SDP information of the device A carrying the first remaining execution time to the SDP queue, and adds the task of establishing a connection with the device B to the connection task queue.

[0172] The first remaining execution time refers to the maximum allowable time for establishing a connection with device A when the link management module initiates establishing a connection with device A again in the subsequent execution method. In a possible implementation, the first remaining execution time may be the difference between the first threshold and the first executed time. The first executed time may include: the time used for the tablet computer to establish a connection with device A between executing S504-S509.

[0173] Exemplarily, if the first execution time is 2s and the first threshold is 8s, the first remaining execution time is 6s, indicating that if the link management module fails to successfully establish a connection with device A within 6s, the connection with device A times out.

[0174] In a possible implementation, between executing S504-S509, when the time to establish a connection with device A is greater than or equal to a third threshold, the SDP module may add the SDP information of device A carrying the first remaining execution time to the SDP queue. At this time, the SDP queue may simultaneously contain the SDP information of device B and the SDP information of device A carrying the first remaining execution time. The SDP module may process these SDP information according to the order of the SDP information in the SDP queue. Since the SDP information of device B is added to the SDP queue earlier than the SDP information of device A carrying the first remaining execution time, the SDP module may add the task of establishing a connection with device B to the connection task queue and wait for a successful connection with the headset. The link management module may then execute the task of establishing a connection with device B and initiate a connection with device B.

[0175] S511. The headset establishes a connection with the tablet computer and performs authentication and encryption.

[0176] S512: The tablet computer successfully establishes a connection with the headset. The link management module notifies the smart interconnection that the connection with the headset is successful, removes the task of establishing a connection with the headset from the connection task queue, and initiates a connection with device B.

[0177] In the embodiment of the present application, the specific implementation of S511-S512 is consistent with S211-S212 and will not be repeated here.

[0178] Since the link management module does not need to wait for the unresponsive time to reach the first threshold to establish a connection with device A, it can execute the task of establishing a connection with the headset and initiate a connection with the headset, which can increase the speed of establishing a connection with the headset. In addition, if the connection with the headset is successfully established, the link management module can also notify Smart Interconnect more quickly that the connection with the headset is successfully established, which can improve the user experience.

[0179] S513. When the connection with device B is successfully established or times out, the SDP module removes the SDP information of device B from the SDP queue, removes the task of establishing a connection with device B from the connection task queue, and adds the task of establishing a connection with device A with the first remaining execution time to the connection task queue.

[0180] In one possible implementation, when the connection with device B is successfully established or times out, the SDP module may remove the SDP information of device B from the SDP queue. At this time, the SDP queue may only contain the SDP information of device A carrying the first remaining execution time, and the task of establishing a connection with device A carrying the first remaining execution time may be added to the connection task queue so that the link management module can initiate a connection with device A.

[0181] S514: The link management module initiates a connection with device A and records a start time of initiating the connection with device A.

[0182] In one possible implementation, when there is a task for establishing a connection with device A with a first remaining execution time in the connection task queue, the link management module can initiate a connection with device A, and can record the start time of initiating the connection with device A through a timer or other means, so that in the following embodiments, when the smart interconnect initiates a request to establish a connection with other external devices through a createbond connection, the link management module can initiate a connection with other external devices more quickly. Next, other external devices including vehicle computers are used as examples for explanation.

[0183] S515. The third-party application initiates a request to establish a connection with the vehicle computer through the createbond connection.

[0184] In a possible implementation, the user may initiate a request to establish a connection with the vehicle computer through a createbond connection by enabling a Bluetooth connection in a third-party application of the vehicle computer.

[0185] S516. The device management module adds the task of establishing a connection with the vehicle computer to the connection task queue.

[0186] In an embodiment of the present application, when the device management module receives a request initiated by a third-party application to establish a connection with the vehicle computer, the device management module can add the task of establishing a connection with the vehicle computer to a connection task queue.

[0187] Exemplarily, when the device management module adds the task of establishing a connection with the vehicle computer to the connection task queue, the task of establishing a connection with device A in the connection task queue has not been completed. The time to establish a connection with device A may be greater than or equal to the third threshold, or may be less than the third threshold. For example, the time to establish a connection with device A is 3s. In the following embodiments, the time to establish a connection with device A is 3s as an example.

[0188] S517: When the unresponsive time for establishing a connection with device A reaches a third threshold, the link management module removes the task of establishing a connection with device A from the connection task queue, and initiates establishing a connection with the vehicle computer.

[0189] For example, when the time to establish a connection with device A is 3s, the link management module cancels the connection with device A and removes the task of establishing a connection with device A from the connection task queue. At this time, the connection task queue may only have the task of establishing a connection with the vehicle computer, and the link management module can initiate the connection with the vehicle computer.

[0190] Since the link management module does not need to wait for the unresponsive time to reach the first remaining execution time to establish a connection with device A, it can execute the task of establishing a connection with the vehicle computer and initiate a connection with the vehicle computer, which can improve the speed of establishing a connection with the vehicle computer. In addition, if the connection with the vehicle computer is successfully established, the link management module can also notify the third-party application more quickly that the connection with the vehicle computer is successfully established, which can improve the user experience.

[0191] S518. The SDP module adds the SDP information of device A carrying the second remaining execution time to the SDP queue, and adds the task of establishing a connection with device A carrying the second remaining execution time to the connection task queue.

[0192] The second remaining execution time may refer to the maximum permissible time for establishing a connection with device A when the link management module initiates establishing a connection with device A again in the following execution method. In a possible implementation, the second remaining execution time may be the difference between the first remaining execution time and the second executed time. The second executed time may include: the time taken by the tablet computer to establish a connection with device A between executing S514-S517. If the first remaining execution time is 6s and the second executed time is 3s, the second remaining execution time is 3s, indicating that if the link management module takes more than 3s to initiate establishing a connection with device A again, the connection establishment with device A will time out.

[0193] In a possible implementation, between executing S514-S517, when the time to establish a connection with device A is greater than or equal to the third threshold, the SDP module may add the SDP information of device A carrying the second remaining execution time to the SDP queue. At this time, the SDP queue may only contain the SDP information of device A carrying the second remaining execution time. The SDP module may add the task of establishing a connection with device A to the connection task queue, and wait for the connection to be successfully established with the vehicle computer. The link management module may then execute the task of establishing a connection with device A and initiate the establishment of a connection with device A.

[0194] S519: The vehicle computer establishes a connection with the tablet computer and performs authentication and encryption.

[0195] In a possible implementation manner, the specific implementation method of establishing a connection between the vehicle computer and the tablet computer and performing authentication encryption may refer to the specific implementation method of establishing a connection between the headset and the tablet computer and performing authentication encryption in S211, which will not be described in detail here.

[0196] S520, the tablet computer successfully establishes a connection with the vehicle computer, the link management module notifies the third-party application that the connection with the vehicle computer is successfully established, removes the task of establishing a connection with the vehicle computer from the connection task queue, initiates a connection with device A, and records the start time of initiating the connection with device A.

[0197] Since the link management module does not need to wait for the unresponsive time to reach the first remaining execution time to establish a connection with device A, it can execute the task of establishing a connection with the vehicle computer and initiate a connection with the vehicle computer, which can improve the speed of establishing a connection with the vehicle computer. In addition, if the connection with the vehicle computer is successfully established, the link management module can also notify the third-party application more quickly that the connection with the vehicle computer has been successfully established, thereby improving the user experience.

[0198] It should be understood that the logs generated by the embodiments of the present application can be stored in the host controller interface (HCI) log of the system Bluetooth, or in the logs of other paths, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this; the link management module can use a Bluetooth low energy (BLE) link or other methods to establish a connection with other electronic devices, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit the method of establishing the connection.

[0199] It is understandable that in Figure 5 The steps in the corresponding embodiments are all optional, the order of the steps can be exchanged, and the layers, modules or units executed by each step can be replaced by any achievable method without limitation.

[0200] The following specific embodiments are used to describe the file reading method of the present application in detail. The following embodiments can be combined with each other or implemented independently, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described in detail in some embodiments.

[0202] S601. At a first moment, a first device requests to establish a communication connection with a second device using a first connection method.

[0203] In the embodiment of the present application, the first connection mode request may include the Bluetooth socket connection mode in the above embodiment, and the first device may be understood as Figure 5 In the embodiment, the second device can be understood as a tablet computer. Figure 5 For device A in the embodiment, the first moment can be understood as any moment of executing S501. In the smart interconnection of the first device, the first connection method can be used to request to establish a communication connection with the second device. It should be understood that the first device can use the first connection method to request to establish a communication connection with the second device or the third device every preset time period.

[0204] In the case where the first device uses the first connection mode to request to establish a communication connection with the second device, S602 to S606 may be executed.

[0205] S602: At a second moment, the first device and the second device execute a communication connection process based on the first connection mode.

[0206] In the embodiment of the present application, the second moment can be understood as any moment between executing S502-S504, and the specific implementation method of the first device and the second device executing the communication connection process based on the first connection method can refer to S502-S504 in the aforementioned embodiment.

Exemplarily, the start time can be recorded by a timer or other methods. The specific implementation method can refer to S504 in the aforementioned embodiment.

[0208] S603: At a third moment, the first device uses the first connection mode to request to establish a communication connection with the third device.

[0209] In the embodiment of the present application, the third moment can be understood as any moment between executing S505-S506, and the second device can be understood as Figure 5For device B in the embodiment, when the first device adopts the first connection method to request to establish a communication connection with the third device, the first device can set the SDP information of the third device and add the SDP information of the third device to the SDP queue. The specific implementation method can refer to S506 in the aforementioned embodiment.

[0210] S604, at a fourth moment, the first device and the second device continue to execute the communication connection process based on the first connection mode, and the first device does not execute the communication connection process with the third device.

[0211] In the embodiment of the present application, the fourth moment can be understood as any moment between the execution of S507-S508 and earlier than the fifth moment. Since the establishment of the communication connection between the first device and the third device is actively initiated by the first device, the user is unaware of the success of the establishment of the communication connection between the first device and the third device. Therefore, the communication connection process can be executed with the second device based on the first connection method in the order of requesting to establish the communication connection.

[0212] S605. At the fifth moment, the first device receives a first operation from the user, where the first operation is used to instruct the first device to establish a communication connection with the fourth device. Between the first moment and the fifth moment, the first device continues to execute the communication connection process with the second device, and the first device has not completed the communication connection with the second device. Between the third moment and the fifth moment, the first device has not established a communication connection with the third device.

Exemplarily, before the first device establishes a communication connection with the fourth device, the first device may perform a communication connection process with the second device, until the time taken by the first device and the second device to perform the communication connection process is greater than or equal to the execution threshold, the first device may perform the communication connection process with the fourth device, that is, S606 may be executed.

[0214] S606. At the sixth moment, the first device uses the second connection mode to execute the communication connection process with the fourth device, and the second connection mode is different from the first connection mode. The second moment is later than the first moment, the third moment is later than the second moment, the fourth moment is later than the third moment, the fifth moment is later than the fourth moment, and at the sixth moment, the first device suspends the communication connection process with the second device.

[0215] In an embodiment of the present application, the sixth moment can be understood as any moment between execution S508-S510, and the second connection mode request can include the createbond connection mode in the above embodiment. Since the link management module of the first device can execute the communication connection process serially, the first device suspends the communication connection process with the second device before executing the communication connection process with the fourth device.

[0216] Optional, in Figure 6 On the basis of the embodiment, at the sixth moment, the first device suspends the communication connection process with the second device, and the service discovery protocol SDP information of the second device and the first remaining execution time can also be added to the SDP queue; the first remaining execution time includes: the difference between the execution time threshold and the first executed time, and the first executed time includes: the time used by the first device and the second device to execute the communication connection process between the first moment and the sixth moment; the communication connection established between the first device and the second device is removed from the connection task queue; the communication connection established between the first device and the third device is added to the connection task queue.

In the case where the first device successfully executes the communication connection process with the third device or times out, the first device can re-execute the communication connection process with the second device.

[0228] Optionally, at the tenth moment, the time taken by the first device and the second device to execute the communication connection process is less than or equal to the first remaining execution time.

[0229] In an embodiment of the present application, the maximum time used by the first device and the second device to execute the communication connection process may be less than or equal to the first remaining execution time.
