Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of communication technology, and more specifically, to a Bluetooth pairing method and an atomization system. Background Technology

[0002] In smart atomizing devices, a connection to a mobile app is typically established via Bluetooth to enable functions such as network configuration, data synchronization, and usage record management. After leaving the factory, the atomizing device needs to be in "broadcast mode" so that the mobile app can find and bind to it.

[0003] However, existing Bluetooth broadcasting solutions suffer from problems such as the inability to recognize connected devices or severe interference in multi-user environments. Specifically, the inability to recognize connected devices means that after a device has completed network pairing, it continues to broadcast in the original manner. This causes the app to still "see" the device during scanning, but connection attempts fail (because the device is already in use), severely impacting the user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0011] In one embodiment of the Bluetooth pairing method described in this application, the atomizing device generates corresponding broadcast information based on the pairing status identifier, including: The atomizing device adds a data segment containing the device type identifier, product ID identifier, network status identifier, and MAC tail identifier to the BLE broadcast packet to generate the broadcast information.

Attached Figure Description

[0015] The present application will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. In the accompanying drawings: Figure 1 This is a flowchart of an embodiment of a Bluetooth pairing method according to this application; Figure 2 This is a flowchart of another embodiment of a Bluetooth pairing method according to this application. Detailed Implementation

[0016] To provide a clearer understanding of the technical features, objectives, and effects of this application, the specific embodiments of this application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0017] like Figure 1 The image shows an embodiment of a Bluetooth pairing method according to this application. The method is primarily implemented using an atomizing device. Figure 1 An embodiment of the Bluetooth pairing method of this application is shown, including the following steps: S11, obtaining the pairing status identifier stored in the atomizing device; the pairing status identifier is used to indicate the current pairing status of the atomizing device; S12, the atomizing device generates corresponding broadcast information according to the pairing status identifier and broadcasts it; S13, receiving the broadcast information through the control terminal, and the control terminal confirms whether to generate display information corresponding to the atomizing device according to the broadcast information; the display information is configured to allow the user to select whether to pair the atomizing device with the control terminal.

[0018] Based on step S11, when the atomizing device starts generating broadcast information, the network status identifier of the atomizing device can be obtained based on the stored information in the atomizing device. The current network status of the atomizing device can be determined based on this network status identifier. The atomizing device can be configured with a preset storage area or storage location to store the network status identifier. Simultaneously, this network status identifier needs to be stored in a non-volatile storage method, meaning that the network status identifier generated by the atomizing device during operation will not be lost after the atomizing device is powered off, so that the atomizing device can read the network status identifier when it is powered on again. Furthermore, the atomizing device can be configured to confirm the preset storage area or storage location before generating broadcast information, and then proceed with subsequent actions. The process of the atomizing device generating broadcast information can be executed when the atomizing device is initially powered on, or it can be configured to execute it regularly or irregularly at preset time intervals after power-on.

[0019] Based on step S12, after obtaining its corresponding network status identifier, the atomizing device generates and broadcasts broadcast information according to the network status identifier. Simply put, the broadcast information from the atomizing device contains its network status identifier or identification information that can be used to identify the network status identifier. That is, the atomizing device can directly include its corresponding network status identifier in the broadcast information, or it can modify the network status identifier and include it in the broadcast information.

[0020] Based on step S13, the broadcast information from the atomizing device is received via the control terminal. The control terminal can be used to control the atomizing device. After receiving the broadcast information, the control terminal interprets it to obtain the network configuration status identifier of the atomizing device. Then, based on this identifier, it determines whether to generate corresponding display information for the atomizing device on the control terminal's preset interface. Once the control terminal generates the display information, the user can directly select the atomizing device to configure its network with the control terminal based on the displayed information.

[0021] In the process of the control terminal selecting to display or not display the atomizing device based on the broadcast information, it can only display atomizing devices that can be networked and not display atomizing devices that cannot be networked. This allows users to quickly select the correct atomizing device for network configuration in a multi-device environment based on the control terminal, effectively avoiding incorrect connections, improving network configuration efficiency, and greatly enhancing the user experience.

[0022] In one embodiment, the network configuration status identifier includes a first status identifier indicating that the atomizing device is in an unconfigured state. In step S13, the control terminal confirms whether to generate display information for the atomizing device based on the broadcast information, including generating display information corresponding to the atomizing device when the broadcast information contains the first status identifier. Specifically, the network configuration status identifier in the atomizing device may include the first status identifier. When the network configuration status identifier of the atomizing device is the first status identifier, it can be determined that the atomizing device is currently in an unconfigured state. When the atomizing device is in an unconfigured state, it can be understood that the atomizing device can be used for network configuration. Therefore, when the control terminal obtains the first status identifier based on the broadcast information, it can display the atomizing device for the user to select for network configuration. By setting a specific identifier to distinguish unconfigured atomizing devices, users can quickly select configurable atomizing devices, facilitating user operation and improving the user experience.

[0023] In one embodiment, the network configuration status identifier further includes a second status identifier for indicating that the atomizing device is in a network-configured state. In another embodiment of the Bluetooth network configuration method of this application, it further includes updating the network configuration status identifier of the atomizing device to the second status identifier when the atomizing device switches from an unconfigured state to a network-configured state. Specifically, the network configuration status identifier in the atomizing device may include the second status identifier. That is, after the atomizing device is selected for network configuration and completes the configuration, its network configuration status identifier will switch from the initial state to the second status identifier. For example, in one embodiment, when the atomizing device switches from an unconfigured state to a network-configured state, its corresponding network configuration status identifier will change from the first status identifier to the second status identifier and be stored. When the network configuration status identifier of the atomizing device is the second status identifier, when the atomizing device generates broadcast information, the network configuration status identifier it reads is no longer the first status identifier, and the corresponding generated broadcast information does not contain the first status identifier. Therefore, the control terminal will not generate display information for the atomizing device, ultimately hiding the atomizing device and avoiding interference with the user's selection operations.

[0024] In one embodiment, the network configuration status identifier further includes a third status identifier indicating that the atomizing device is in a network-configured offline state. In another embodiment of the Bluetooth network configuration method of this application, it further includes updating the network configuration status identifier of the atomizing device to the third status identifier when the atomizing device switches from a network-configured state to a network-disconnected state. Specifically, the network configuration status identifier in the atomizing device may include a third status identifier. That is, if the atomizing device performs a network disconnection operation after completing network configuration, the network configuration status identifier of the atomizing device will switch from the second status identifier to the third status identifier and be stored. For example, considering that the atomizing device may need to complete automatic network configuration with a historical network control terminal, i.e., the atomizing device will retain historical network configuration information for automatic network configuration, the atomizing device cannot directly switch to an unconfigured state where it can be arbitrarily configured. Therefore, the atomizing device in this state can be distinguished by the third status identifier. When the network status identifier of the atomizing device is the third status identifier, the network status identifier read by the atomizing device when generating broadcast information does not include the first status identifier, and the corresponding broadcast information also does not include the first status identifier. Therefore, even if the atomizing device is in an unconnected state, no display information for the atomizing device will be generated, thus ultimately hiding the atomizing device and avoiding interference with the user's selection operation.

[0025] In one embodiment, the Bluetooth network configuration method of this application further includes: when the atomizing device switches from a network-configured state to a network-disconnected state, updating the network configuration status identifier of the atomizing device to a first status identifier. Specifically, when the atomizing device is used in a scenario where automatic network configuration is not required, i.e., when the atomizing device experiences a network disconnection after sub-network configuration and does not need to perform automatic network configuration based on historical network configuration actions, the network configuration status identifier of the atomizing device can be directly updated to the first status identifier when the atomizing device switches to a network-disconnected state. For example, the network configuration status identifier of the atomizing device can be switched from a second status identifier to a first status identifier and stored. When the network configuration status identifier of the atomizing device is the first status identifier, when the atomizing device generates broadcast information, the network configuration status identifier it reads is the first status identifier, and the corresponding generated broadcast information also contains the first status identifier. Therefore, the display information of the atomizing device is generated so that the user can reconfigure the network of the atomizing device, enabling the user to switch the control terminal to configure the network of the atomizing device as needed.

[0026] In one embodiment, the Bluetooth pairing method of this application further includes: the atomizing device receiving a trigger command to update the pairing status identifier of the atomizing device from a third status identifier and / or a second status identifier to a first status identifier according to the trigger command. Specifically, in some special use cases, it is necessary to re-pair the atomizing device. Therefore, a preset trigger command can be used to directly update the pairing status identifier of the atomizing device to the first status identifier and store it. When the atomizing device generates broadcast information, the pairing status identifier it reads is the first status identifier, and the corresponding generated broadcast information also contains the first status identifier. Therefore, display information of the atomizing device is generated so that the user can re-pair the atomizing device, enabling the user to switch the control terminal to pair the atomizing device as needed.

[0027] In one embodiment, the Bluetooth pairing method of this application further includes: setting the initial state of the pairing status identifier of the atomizing device to a first status identifier. Specifically, when the atomizing device is shipped from the factory or restored to factory settings, the pairing status identifier of the atomizing device is set to the first status identifier and stored.

[0028] In one embodiment of the Bluetooth network pairing method of this application, the atomizing device generates corresponding broadcast information based on the network pairing status identifier. This includes adding a data segment containing the atomizing device's device type identifier, product ID identifier, network pairing status identifier, and MAC tail identifier to the BLE broadcast packet to generate the broadcast information. Specifically, the atomizing device can add a custom field to the BLE broadcast packet to broadcast its network pairing status identifier. This custom field can include the atomizing device's device type identifier, product ID identifier, network pairing status identifier, and MAC tail identifier. After receiving the broadcast information, the control terminal interprets the custom field, obtains the atomizing device's network pairing status identifier based on the network pairing status identifier, and in the generated display information, obtains specific atomizing device display information based on the device type identifier, product ID identifier, and MAC tail identifier, establishing a correspondence between the display information and the specific atomizing device.

[0029] In one specific embodiment, the structure of this custom field is illustrated as [0x01][A102][Status Code][MAC Suffix]. 0x01 corresponds to the device type identifier, indicating the type of atomizing device. The control terminal can identify the type of atomizing device based on the specific content of this device type identifier and display it as needed. A102 corresponds to the product ID identifier. The status code is the network configuration status identifier. In one embodiment, when the status code is 0x00, it corresponds to the first status identifier of the atomizing device's network configuration status being unconfigured, indicating that the atomizing device is an unpaired device. When the status code switches to 0x01, it corresponds to the second status identifier of the atomizing device's network configuration status being configured, indicating that the atomizing device is an unconnected device. When the status code switches to 0x02, it corresponds to the third status identifier of the atomizing device's network configuration status being configured but offline, indicating that the atomizing device is configured but can be reconnected (e.g., automatically reconnected in the background).

[0030] like Figure 2 The image shows another embodiment of the Bluetooth pairing method of this application. This method is mainly implemented through a control terminal (e.g., a host) controlling the atomizing device. In one embodiment of the Bluetooth pairing method of this application, it includes: S21, obtaining broadcast information from the atomizing device, and obtaining a pairing status identifier based on the broadcast information; the pairing status identifier is used to indicate the current pairing status of the atomizing device; S22, confirming whether to generate corresponding display information based on the pairing status identifier; the display information is configured for the user to select whether to pair with the atomizing device.

[0031] Based on steps S21 and S22, when the atomizing device starts generating broadcast information, it obtains the network configuration status identifier of the atomizing device based on the stored information in the atomizing device, and generates broadcast information according to the network configuration status identifier. After receiving the broadcast information from the atomizing device, the control terminal interprets the broadcast information to obtain the network configuration status identifier of the atomizing device, and then determines whether to generate the corresponding display information for the atomizing device on the preset interface of the control terminal based on the network configuration status identifier. After the control terminal generates the display information for the atomizing device, the user can directly select the atomizing device to configure the network with the control terminal according to the display information.

[0032] Because the control terminal can determine the current network configuration status of the atomizing device based on its network configuration status identifier, the control terminal can choose to display or not display the process of the atomizing device based on the broadcast information. For example, it can only display atomizing devices that can be configured for network configuration and not display atomizing devices that cannot be configured for network configuration. This greatly increases the success rate of network configuration when users select atomizing devices for network configuration based on the control terminal, and can greatly improve the user experience.

[0033] In one embodiment of the Bluetooth pairing method of this application, the control terminal confirms whether to generate corresponding display information based on the pairing status identifier, including: when confirming that the pairing status identifier is a first status identifier, generating display information corresponding to the atomizing device; the first status identifier is used to indicate that the atomizing device is currently in an unpaired state. Specifically, the pairing status identifier in the atomizing device may include a first status identifier. When the pairing status identifier of the atomizing device is the first status identifier, it can be determined that the atomizing device is currently in an unpaired state. When the atomizing device is in an unpaired state, it can be understood that the atomizing device can be used for new pairing. Therefore, when the control terminal obtains the first status identifier based on the broadcast information, it can display the atomizing device for the user to select the pairing action. That is, by setting a specific identifier to distinguish atomizing devices that have not been paired, it is convenient for users to select atomizing devices, thus improving the user experience by facilitating user operation.

[0034] In another embodiment of the atomization system of this application, the atomization system includes an atomizing device and a control terminal for controlling the atomizing device; the control terminal includes a memory and a processor; the memory is used to store a computer program; the processor is used to execute the computer program to implement the above method, that is, the control terminal and the atomizing device construct an atomization system to realize the network connection process between the atomizing device and the control terminal. The number of atomizing devices can be one or more.

[0035] In the above embodiments, the control terminal can be a user terminal, that is, the user terminal is configured to generate display information through a corresponding APP to display the currently connectable atomizing devices, so that the user can select the atomizing device for network connection based on the display information of the APP.

[0036] It is understood that the above embodiments only illustrate preferred embodiments of this application, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this application. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, without departing from the concept of this application, the above technical features can be freely combined, and several modifications and improvements can be made, all of which fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, all equivalent transformations and modifications made with respect to the scope of the claims of this application should fall within the scope of the claims of this application.
