[0015] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. In the accompanying drawings: Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a multi-party call method according to the present invention; Figure 2 This is a logic block diagram of an embodiment of a multi-party calling system according to the present invention; Figure 3 This is a logic block diagram of an embodiment of a fleet communication system according to the present invention. Detailed Implementation

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

[0017] like Figure 1 The diagram illustrates an embodiment of a multi-party communication method according to the present invention. This method is primarily implemented through a central control system 110. The central control system 110 includes, but is not limited to, an instrument panel system mounted on both wheels. It can be understood as a functional module or device composed of controllers with control and communication functions. The specific process of the present invention is mainly based on the control and communication functions of the controllers in the central control system 110. Figure 2 The diagram shown is a network diagram of the central control system 110. Figure 1 In an embodiment of the multi-party calling method of the present invention shown, the central control system 110 performs the following steps: S1, establishing communication connections with the terminal device 120, the first Bluetooth device 131, and the second Bluetooth device 132 respectively, and generating a first communication link, a second communication link, and a third communication link; wherein, the first communication link corresponds to the terminal device 120 and is used to realize data transmission between the terminal device 120 and the central control system 110, the second communication link corresponds to the first Bluetooth device 131 and is used to realize data transmission between the first Bluetooth device 131 and the central control system 110, and the third communication link corresponds to the second Bluetooth device 132 and is used to realize data transmission between the second Bluetooth device 132 and the central control system 110; S2, simultaneously obtaining communication data of the corresponding device through any two of the first, second, and third communication links, mixing the communication data, and then sending it to the corresponding device through the remaining communication link.

[0018] Based on step S1, before initiating a multi-party call, the central control system 110 establishes communication connections with the terminal device 120, the first Bluetooth device 131, and the second Bluetooth device 132, respectively, and generates a first communication link, a second communication link, and a third communication link. In one embodiment, the central control system 110 can establish communication connections with the first Bluetooth device 131 and the second Bluetooth device 132 based on an initial configuration, while generating the second and third communication links based on the needs of a multi-party call. The central control system 110 then communicates with the first Bluetooth device 131 and the second Bluetooth device 132 via the second and third communication links, respectively. The central control system 110 establishes a first communication link with the terminal device 120 based on the needs of a multi-party call, enabling data communication between the central control system 110 and the terminal device 120. It is understood that this data communication process may include, but is not limited to, only audio data communication. Based on the understanding of this embodiment, the first communication link generated by the central control system 110 corresponds to the terminal device 120 and is used to realize data transmission between the central control system 110 and the terminal device 120. The second communication link generated by the central control system 110 corresponds to the first Bluetooth device 131 and is used to realize data transmission between the central control system 110 and the first Bluetooth device 131. The third communication link generated by the central control system 110 corresponds to the second Bluetooth device 132 and is used to realize data transmission between the central control system 110 and the second Bluetooth device 132.

[0019] In one embodiment, the central control system 110 can determine whether a multi-party call is being executed based on the call request from the terminal device 120, and then perform the above-mentioned configuration. That is, when the terminal device 120 sends a call request to the central control system 110, the central control system 110, in responding to the call request from the terminal device 120, determines whether the terminal device 120 needs to establish a multi-party call scenario and makes corresponding response processing. For example, when the terminal device 120 sends a call request to establish a multi-party call, the central control system 110 responds based on the call request, generating a second communication link and a third communication link simultaneously with the first communication link.

[0020] In another embodiment, the central control system 110 may also, upon receiving a call request from the terminal device 120, determine, through user judgment, whether a multi-party call process needs to be initiated. That is, when the terminal device 120 sends a call request to the central control system 110, the user determines whether a multi-party call process needs to be triggered based on the call request. If the user determines that a multi-party call is necessary, the central control system 110 can be triggered to respond accordingly to the call request from the terminal device 120, generating a second and third communication link simultaneously with the first communication link.

[0021] In one embodiment, the first Bluetooth device 131 and the second Bluetooth device 132 can also independently determine whether to respond to the call request of the multi-party call, for example, by setting a corresponding button to trigger whether to answer the multi-party call.

[0022] Based on step S2, after obtaining the first, second, and third communication links, during the specific output transmission process, the central control system 110 simultaneously mixes the communication data generated by the terminal device 120 and the communication data generated by the first Bluetooth device 131 before sending them to the second Bluetooth device 132; mixes the communication data generated by the terminal device 120 and the communication data generated by the second Bluetooth device 132 before sending them to the first Bluetooth device 131; and mixes the communication data generated by the first Bluetooth device 131 and the communication data generated by the second Bluetooth device 132 before sending them to the terminal device 120, ultimately realizing data communication between the terminal device 120, the first Bluetooth device 131, and the second Bluetooth device 132. It can be understood that the central control system 110's reception and transmission of communication data are both implemented based on the corresponding communication links of each device.

[0023] In one embodiment, in step S2, communication data of the corresponding device is obtained simultaneously through any two of the first, second, and third communication links, and after mixing the communication data, it is sent to the corresponding device through the remaining communication link. This includes: S21, obtaining first communication data and second communication data through any two of the first, second, and third communication links respectively, and copying the first communication data and second communication data respectively to generate a first data copy and a second data copy; S22, mixing one of the first communication data and the first data copy with one of the second communication data and the second data copy to generate processed communication data, and transmitting the data through the remaining communication link.

[0024] Based on steps S21 and S22, after obtaining the communication data from the terminal device 120, the first Bluetooth device 131, and the second Bluetooth device 132, the central control system 110 copies the communication data from the terminal device 120 to obtain a data copy corresponding to the terminal device 120, copies the communication data from the first Bluetooth device 131 to obtain a data copy corresponding to the first Bluetooth device 131, and copies the communication data from the second Bluetooth device 132 to obtain a data copy corresponding to the second Bluetooth device 132. It then selects one of the communication data from the terminal device 120 and its corresponding data copy, mixes it with one of the communication data from the first Bluetooth device 131 and its corresponding data copy, and sends the resulting mixed data to the second Bluetooth device 132. Finally, it selects one of the communication data from the second Bluetooth device 132 and its corresponding data copy, mixes it with the remaining one of the communication data from the terminal device 120 and its corresponding data copy, and sends the resulting mixed data to the first Bluetooth device 131. The communication data from the second Bluetooth device 132 and the remaining copy of the data corresponding to the second Bluetooth device 132 are mixed with the communication data from the first Bluetooth device 131 and the remaining copy of the data corresponding to the first Bluetooth device 131, and the mixed data is sent to the terminal device 120. It can be understood that this copying and mixing process can be performed in real time based on the communication data generation process of each device, and there is no temporal order.

[0025] In one embodiment, the multi-party call method of the present invention further includes: when acquiring first communication data and second communication data, adding a corresponding first identifier to the first communication data and adding a corresponding second identifier to the second communication data respectively; wherein, the first identifier is used to identify the communication link corresponding to the first communication data, and the second identifier is used to identify the communication link corresponding to the second communication data; when generating processed communication data, the central control system 110 generates a third identifier based on the first identifier and the second identifier; wherein, the third identifier is used to identify the communication link corresponding to the processed communication data.

[0026] Specifically, during the mixing process, the central control system 110 adds an identification identifier to the acquired communication data to ensure accurate transmission of the mixed data to the corresponding device. For example, data acquired via the first communication link is marked with a corresponding data identifier to indicate that the data originates from the first communication link, meaning it can be identified that the data comes from the terminal device 120. Similarly, data acquired via the second communication link is marked with a corresponding data identifier to indicate that the data originates from the second communication link, meaning it can be identified that the data comes from the first Bluetooth device 131. During the mixing process, the mixed data is marked with a corresponding data identifier to indicate that the mixed data needs to be transmitted to the second Bluetooth device 132 via the third communication link. Likewise, the same processing is performed on data received via other communication links to ensure that the corresponding data is transmitted to the corresponding communication link. It can be understood that during the generation of a data copy, the corresponding data identifier needs to be copied synchronously.

[0027] In one embodiment, when any one of the first Bluetooth device 131, the second Bluetooth device 132, and the terminal device 120 is muted, it is equivalent to the central control device receiving invalid communication data corresponding to that device. The central control device will still perform the above-mentioned mixing and transmission operations based on the invalid data. However, after the receiving end receives the invalid data, it cannot obtain any data information, thus realizing the mute function of the device.

[0028] In one embodiment, when either the first Bluetooth device 131 or the second Bluetooth device 132 is hung up, the method of the present invention further includes: canceling the communication link corresponding to the hung-up device, and communicating with the terminal device 120 based on the corresponding communication link and the first communication link of the other of the first Bluetooth device 131 and the second Bluetooth device 132. Specifically, after establishing a multi-party call, when the first Bluetooth device 131 is hung up, the central control system 110 cancels the second communication link corresponding to the first Bluetooth device 131, and the terminal device 120 directly communicates with the second Bluetooth device 132 through the first communication link and the third communication link. When the second Bluetooth device 132 is hung up, the central control system 110 cancels the third communication link corresponding to the second Bluetooth device 132, and the terminal device 120 directly communicates with the first Bluetooth device 131 through the first communication link and the second communication link.

[0029] In one embodiment, the central control system 110 can be configured to directly shut down the entire communication process when the terminal device 120 hangs up. For example, when the terminal device 120 is the initiator of a multi-party conference, the multi-party call can be ended by hanging up the terminal device 120. In another embodiment, when the terminal device 120 hangs up, the central control system 110 can adjust the operating mode, setting the first Bluetooth device 131 and the second Bluetooth device 132 to intercom mode.

[0030] Furthermore, a central control system 110 of the present invention includes a module for executing the method described above. That is, the central control system 110 of the present invention has the function of implementing the corresponding steps performed in the above method. Each function can be implemented by hardware or by hardware executing corresponding software. The corresponding hardware or software includes one or more modules corresponding to the above functions. That is, the steps in the above method are executed by one or more modules respectively. The specific cooperative operation between the modules can be referred to the specific process of the above method, and will not be repeated here.

[0031] Furthermore, the central control system 110 of the present invention may also include 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-described method. Specifically, according to embodiments of the present invention, the processes described above with reference to the flowcharts can be implemented as computer software programs. For example, embodiments of the present invention include a computer program product comprising a computer program carried on a computer-readable medium, the computer program containing program code for performing the methods shown in the flowcharts. In such embodiments, when the computer program is downloaded and installed by an electronic device and executed, it performs the functions defined in the methods of the embodiments of the present invention. Additionally, such as Figure 2 As shown, a multi-party calling system of the present invention includes: a terminal device 120, a first Bluetooth device 131 and a second Bluetooth device 132, and a central control system 110 as described above. Specifically, the multi-party calling system can be constructed using the central control system 110, the terminal device 120, the first Bluetooth device 131, and the second Bluetooth device 132. The operation of the multi-party calling system is implemented by the central control system 110 according to the method described above.

[0032] In one embodiment, the terminal device 120 includes a user terminal, a cloud terminal, or a virtual terminal. The terminal device 120 may include user terminals such as laptops, desktops, tablets, and smartphones, or it may be a cloud terminal composed of servers, or a virtual terminal built from laptops, desktops, tablets, and smartphones through a software platform.

[0033] In one embodiment, the multi-party communication system can be a communication system corresponding to a two-wheeled vehicle, wherein the first Bluetooth device 131 and / or the second Bluetooth device 132 include a Bluetooth helmet or Bluetooth headset; the central control system 110 includes a vehicle dashboard. That is, the two-wheeled vehicle realizes multi-party communication between two Bluetooth helmets and the terminal device 120 through the vehicle dashboard.

[0034] Additionally, such as Figure 3 As shown, a fleet communication system of the present invention includes several vehicles, each of which includes the multi-party communication system described above. That is, a communication system between fleets can be constructed, and several vehicles 200 in the fleet can all conduct multi-party communication with the terminal device 120 in the manner described above. The terminal devices 120 corresponding to the multiple vehicles 200 can be the same or different.

[0035] In one embodiment, when multiple vehicles 200 correspond to different terminal devices 120, the terminal devices 120 of the different vehicles 200 are interconnected through a network and transmit data. For example, when the remote end is a mobile phone, two people in one vehicle can be added to the fleet communication via group chat methods such as WeChat or conference calls. When the remote end is a cloud network, two people in one vehicle can also be added to the fleet communication. Ultimately, multiple vehicles form a fleet communication system through different terminal devices 120, and each person in the fleet can join the fleet communication for multi-party calls through their corresponding Bluetooth helmet. This process offers greater convenience and a wider user base compared to existing fleet solutions.
