[0115] FIG1 is a schematic diagram of the architecture of a communication system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure (a system diagram including only the subjects related to the invention point and their important counterparts, and the number of subjects corresponds to the number of subjects involved in the invention point).

[0116] As shown in Figure 1, a communication system 100 includes a first device 101 and a second device 102. In some embodiments, the first device 101 and the second device 102 can both be devices capable of Bluetooth communication. In some embodiments, the second device 102 can be provided as a central device in Bluetooth communication, and the first device 101 can be provided as a peripheral device in Bluetooth communication.

[0117] In some embodiments, the central device may also be referred to as a master device, and the peripheral device may also be referred to as a slave device.

[0118] In some embodiments, the second device 102 and the first device 101 can be any one of a terminal, an access network device, and a core network device. For example, the first device 101 can be a human interface device (HID), and the second device 102 can be a computer. The second device 102 can be connected to a mouse, headset, bracelet, watch, glasses, tablet computer, laptop computer, temperature and humidity sensor, medical sensor, light bulb, socket, switch and other devices via Bluetooth. The first device 101 can be any one of these devices. After the second device 102 and the first device 101 establish a connection, the two parties can realize the transmission of audio data or other types of data, such as querying and reading the status value of a sensor, adjusting the device mode or other setting parameters, etc.

[0119] Among them, HID devices that are interconnected through Bluetooth technology can realize functions such as mouse, keyboard, game controller, PPT remote control, etc. based on short-range wireless communication.

[0120] It can be understood that the communication system described in the embodiment of the present disclosure is for the purpose of more clearly illustrating the technical solution of the embodiment of the present disclosure, and does not constitute a limitation on the technical solution proposed in the embodiment of the present disclosure. Ordinary technicians in this field can know that with the evolution of the system architecture and the emergence of new business scenarios, the technical solution proposed in the embodiment of the present disclosure is also applicable to similar technical problems.

[0121] The following embodiments of the present disclosure may be applied to the communication system 100 shown in FIG1 , or a portion thereof, but are not limited thereto. The entities shown in FIG1 are illustrative only. The communication system may include all or part of the entities shown in FIG1 , or may include other entities outside of FIG1 . The number and form of the entities are arbitrary, and the entities may be physical or virtual. The connection relationships between the entities are illustrative only. The entities may be connected or disconnected, and the connection may be in any manner, including direct or indirect, wired or wireless.

[0122] The embodiments of the present disclosure may be applied to Bluetooth (registered trademark)), Star Flash system, Long Term Evolution (LTE), LTE-Advanced (LTE-A), LTE-Beyond (LTE-B), SUPER 3G, IMT-Advanced, 4th generation mobile communication system (4G), 5th generation mobile communication system (5G), 5G new radio (NR), future radio access (FRA), new radio access technology (RAT), new radio (NR), new radio access (NX), future generation radio access (FX), Global System for Mobile communications (GSM (registered trademark)), CDMA2000, Ultra Mobile Broadband (UMB), IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi (registered trademark)), IEEE 802.16 (WiMAX (registered trademark)), IEEE 802.20, Ultra-WideBand (UWB), Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) networks, Device-to-Device (D2D) systems, Machine-to-Machine (M2M) systems, Internet of Things (IoT) systems, Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X), systems utilizing other communication methods, and next-generation systems based on and extending these methods. Furthermore, multiple systems may be combined (for example, a combination of Bluetooth, Starlink, LTE, LTE-A, and 5G).

[0123] In some possible implementation scenarios, human interface devices (HID) require ultra-low latency communication. For example, a 4K gaming-grade mouse needs to report more than 4,000 mouse position update data to the host within 1 second. The current connection-based Bluetooth technology specification cannot achieve more than 1,000 data reports within 1 second. For example, if a connection interval can be used for a maximum of 6 data transmissions, then a maximum of 800 data transmissions can be performed within 1 second, which cannot meet the requirements of ultra-low latency human-computer interface devices. If a multiplayer gaming scenario is considered, such as a host connected to two mice or game controllers, the amount of data generated by the human-computer interface device is even greater. In other words, how to achieve a higher payload rate (HPR) or ultra-low latency communication is an urgent problem to be solved.

[0124] In some embodiments, a minimum connection interval is set to achieve low power consumption for data transmission and reception. Although the master and slave devices can communicate multiple times within a single connection interval, it still falls short of the requirement for more than 1,000 data reports per second, which is required for ultra-low latency communication in scenarios such as gaming mice and high-precision wearable devices.

[0125] In some embodiments, without changing the connection interval, in order to achieve a higher payload rate (HPR), the slave device may be made to report data to the master device in a "unidirectional" manner, thereby achieving ultra-low latency data reporting.

[0126] FIG2 is an interactive diagram of a Bluetooth communication method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG2 , the embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a Bluetooth communication method, which includes:

[0127] Step S2101: The first device sends first information to the second device.

[0128] In some embodiments, the first information is used to instruct the Bluetooth communication mode between the first device and the second device to enter the first mode.

[0129] In some embodiments, the first information is sent when the first device determines that it supports the first mode and there is a demand for Bluetooth data transmission. Alternatively, the second device may support the first mode by default.

[0130] In some embodiments, the first device determines that the Bluetooth communication mode with the second device enters the first mode and sends the first message to the second device. Alternatively, the first device determines that it supports the first mode and has a Bluetooth data transmission requirement and sends the first message to the second device.

[0131] For example, if the first device has the corresponding capability of the first mode, it can send the first information to the second device after establishing Bluetooth communication with the second device and there is a corresponding demand for Bluetooth data transmission, so that the first device and the second device can reach a consensus on the Bluetooth communication mode.

[0132] In some embodiments, the first information is sent by the first device when the first device determines that the Bluetooth communication mode between the first device and the second device is ready to enter the first mode. Optionally, the first information is used to indicate that the first device is ready to enter the first mode. Optionally, the first information is used to indicate that the second device is entering the first mode.

[0133] Optionally, the Bluetooth communication mode available between the first device and the second device includes at least the first mode. Optionally, the Bluetooth communication mode may further include a human-computer interaction (Human Interface Device, HID) mode. For example, the first device may be a human-computer interaction device (such as a keyboard, mouse, etc.), and the second device may be a computer. When the Bluetooth communication mode is the HID mode, the first device and the second device may perform bidirectional data reporting.

[0134] In some embodiments, the first device may send the first information to the second device when establishing Bluetooth communication with the second device. In this way, the initial communication mode after the first device and the second device establish Bluetooth communication may be the first mode. Alternatively, the first information may be sent by the first device to the second device via the first mode.

[0135] In some embodiments, the first device may not send the first information to the second device. The default Bluetooth communication mode between the first device and the second device may be the first mode. Optionally, after the first device and the second device establish Bluetooth communication, the Bluetooth communication mode between the first device and the second device is the first mode.

[0136] In some embodiments, the first device and the second device may have previously established Bluetooth communication, and after establishing Bluetooth communication, the Bluetooth communication modes of the two devices may not be in the first mode. For example, when the first device and the second device initially establish Bluetooth communication, the HID mode is used by default for Bluetooth communication.

[0137] In some embodiments, the first mode can be a mode in which the first device unidirectionally sends Bluetooth data packets to the second device. Optionally, in the first mode, the first device unidirectionally sends the first Bluetooth data packet to the second device and does not expect to receive the Bluetooth data packet sent by the second device. Optionally, in the first mode, the second device unidirectionally receives the first Bluetooth data packet sent by the first device and does not send Bluetooth data packets to the first device.

[0138] In some embodiments, the first information may be a Bluetooth data packet or carried by a Bluetooth data packet. Optionally, the Bluetooth data packet may be sent by the first device via the first mode or via other modes, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0139] For example, the first information may be a bit in a Bluetooth data packet. When the value of the bit is 1, the Bluetooth data packet may be used to instruct the Bluetooth communication mode to switch to the first mode.

[0140] For example, if the value of a corresponding bit in a Bluetooth data packet sent by a device received by the second device is 1, the second device may determine that the information is the first information and switch the Bluetooth communication mode for communicating with the device to the first mode.

[0141] In some embodiments, the second device receives the first information sent by the first device. Optionally, in response to the first information, the second device determines that the Bluetooth communication mode between the first device and the second device is the first mode. Optionally, after receiving the first information, the second device switches the Bluetooth communication mode between the first device and the second device to the first mode.

[0142] In some embodiments, the first mode may be referred to as "ultra-low latency (ULL) mode", "unidirectional transmission mode", etc., and the embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit its name.

[0143] In some embodiments, the first information may be referred to as “mode switching information”, “ULL indication information”, “switching indication”, etc., and the embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit the names thereof.

[0144] Step S2102: The first device sends a first Bluetooth data packet to the second device.

[0145] In some embodiments, the first Bluetooth data packet may refer to a Bluetooth data packet sent by the first device through the first mode.

[0146] In some embodiments, the first device determines that the Bluetooth communication mode between the first device and the second device is the first mode, and sends a first Bluetooth data packet to the second device.

[0147] In some embodiments, the first device determines that the Bluetooth communication mode between the first device and the second device is the first mode and does not expect to receive a Bluetooth data packet sent by the second device. Optionally, the first device does not expect to receive response data sent by the second device to the first Bluetooth data packet.

[0148] In some embodiments, the second device determines that the Bluetooth communication mode between the second device and the first device is in the first mode, and starts to receive the first Bluetooth data packet sent by the first device.

[0149] In some embodiments, the second device determines that the Bluetooth communication mode between the second device and the first device is in the first mode, and does not send a Bluetooth data packet to the first device.

[0150] In some embodiments, the first device sends M first Bluetooth data packets to the second device within K seconds, where K is an integer greater than or equal to 1. Optionally, M is greater than or equal to 1000*K. Optionally, M is greater than or equal to 4000*K.

[0151] That is, the first device can send more than 1000 or 4000 Bluetooth data packets to the second device within 1 second in the first mode.

[0152] In some embodiments, the first device sends N first Bluetooth data packets to the second device within a connection interval, where N is an integer greater than or equal to 6. In other modes, the number of Bluetooth data packets sent by the first device within a connection interval may be less than 6.

[0153] In some embodiments, the connection interval corresponds to a duration greater than or equal to 7.5 milliseconds (ms).

[0154] In some embodiments, the number of bits of the first Bluetooth data packet is less than or equal to 875 bits. Optionally, the value of N may be greater than or equal to 7.

[0155] In some embodiments, the number of bits in the first Bluetooth data packet is less than or equal to 100. Optionally, the value of N may be greater than or equal to 30.

[0156] For example, when the connection interval between the first device and the second device is 7.5ms, if the frame interval between two first Bluetooth data packets is 125 microseconds (us) and the number of bits of the first Bluetooth data packet is 875, the first device can send 1000 first Bluetooth data packets to the second device within one second.

[0157] In some embodiments, the second device receives a first Bluetooth data packet sent by the first device.

[0158] In some embodiments, the second device receives M first Bluetooth data packets sent by the first device within K seconds, where M is greater than or equal to 1000*K. Alternatively, the second device receives N first Bluetooth data packets sent by the first device within one connection interval, where N is a positive integer greater than or equal to 6.

[0159] Step S2103: The first device sends second information to the second device.

[0160] In some embodiments, the second information is used to instruct the first device to exit the Bluetooth communication mode with the second device and enter the first mode.

[0161] In some embodiments, the second information is sent when the first device determines that the Bluetooth communication mode between the first device and the second device is ready to exit the first mode.

[0162] In some embodiments, the second information is sent when the first device determines that the Bluetooth communication mode between the first device and the second device is in the first mode and there is no Bluetooth data transmission demand within a first preset time period.

[0163] In some embodiments, the first device determines that the Bluetooth communication mode is the first mode and there is no Bluetooth data transmission demand within a first preset time period, and sends the second information to the second device.

[0164] Among them, the first preset duration can be 10 connection intervals, 500 milliseconds, 1 second, etc., and the embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit its specific length.

[0165] In some embodiments, after the first device sends the second information, it expects to receive a Bluetooth data packet sent by the second device. Alternatively, after the first device sends the second information, it starts to receive a Bluetooth data packet sent by the second device.

[0166] In some embodiments, the second information may be a Bluetooth data packet or carried by a Bluetooth data packet. Optionally, the Bluetooth data packet may be sent by the first device via the first mode or via another mode, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure. For example, the first device may send the second information via the first mode and, after sending the second information, exit the first communication mode. Alternatively, the first device may send the second information via another mode after exiting the first mode.

[0167] In some embodiments, the second device receives the second information. Optionally, the second device determines, in response to the second information, that the Bluetooth communication mode between the second device and the first device exits the first mode.

[0168] In some embodiments, after receiving the second information, the second device starts sending Bluetooth data packets to the first device. Optionally, after receiving the second information, the second device sends a corresponding Bluetooth data packet to the first device in response to receiving the Bluetooth data packet sent by the first device.

[0169] In some embodiments, the first device may not send the second information to the second device. Optionally, the second device independently determines whether the Bluetooth communication mode between the first device and the second device exits the first mode.

[0170] In some embodiments, the second device determines that the first Bluetooth data packet sent by the first device is not received within the second preset time period, and determines that the Bluetooth communication mode between the first device and the second device exits the first mode.

[0171] The second preset duration may be 10 connection intervals, 500 milliseconds, 1 second, etc. The embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit its specific length.

[0172] In some embodiments, in some embodiments, the second information may be referred to as “mode switching information”, “ULL exit indication”, “switching indication”, etc., and the embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit the names thereof.

[0281] FIG6A is a flow chart of a Bluetooth communication method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG6B , an embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a communication method, the method comprising:

[0282] Step S6101: After entering the ULL mode, the slave device unidirectionally reports data to the master device.

[0283] In some embodiments, after the HID device establishes a connection, if the slave device supports the ULL function and has data to report, the master device is notified to enter the ULL mode to achieve multiple ultra-low latency "one-way" data reports within a single connection interval.

[0284] In some embodiments, if the slave device does not report data for a long period of time, the master device may be notified to return to the normal "two-way" data reporting HID mode.

[0285] In some embodiments, after entering ULL mode, the slave device can report data to the master device in a "unidirectional" manner. The data may include various sensor or event information generated by the human-computer interface device, such as mouse position, game controller button events, etc.

[0286] In some embodiments, to support a maximum of 1000 data reports within 1 second, considering a 125us time_inter frame space (T_IFS), the longest data packet length of a single report is 875us, ie, 875 bits, approximately 100 bytes.

[0287] In some embodiments, if a higher data reporting rate is required, such as a 4k mouse, the length of a single reported data packet can be reduced to 250us, including T_IFS. The length of a single reported data packet is 100 bits, approximately 12 bytes.

[0288] The master device may be the second device described in some of the above embodiments, and the slave device may be the first device described in some of the above embodiments.

[0289] Figure 6B is a schematic diagram illustrating a Bluetooth communication method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 6B, the rectangular blocks below the horizontal axis can represent actions performed by the slave device, and the rectangular blocks above the horizontal axis can represent actions performed by the master device. The horizontal axis is a time axis, wherein filled rectangular blocks can represent sending actions, and unfilled rectangular blocks can represent receiving actions.

[0290] 6B , before time t1, the Bluetooth communication mode between the master device and the slave device may be HID mode, that is, after the Bluetooth devices establish a connection, the master device and the slave device perform "bidirectional" data transmission and reception within a connection interval. Specifically, the master device first enters the sending state, while the slave device is in the receiving state. After the transmission is completed and the T_IFS interval has passed, the slave device enters the sending state, while the master device is in the receiving state. At this time, considering factors such as energy saving, message length, connection interval, and T_IFS, the number of interactions between the master device and the slave device within a connection interval is generally less than or equal to 6 times (e.g., 3 times). For example, the number of reporting intervals included in a connection interval is less than or equal to 6.

[0291] After time t1, the Bluetooth communication mode between the master device and the slave device may be the first mode (eg, ULL mode), and the slave device may send greater than or equal to 6 Bluetooth data packets to the master device in a time interval.

[0292] It is also worth noting that multiple slave devices can simultaneously achieve ultra-low latency data reporting with the master device, that is, the Bluetooth communication mode between the master device and multiple slave devices can all be ULL mode.

[0293] In the above embodiments of the present disclosure, lower latency data reporting can be achieved for HID human-machine interface devices without changing the Bluetooth connection interval parameters. At the same time, this method can also support multiple slave devices to achieve ultra-low latency data reporting with the master device at the same time.

[0294] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, some or all of the steps and their optional implementations may be arbitrarily combined with some or all of the steps in other embodiments, or may be arbitrarily combined with the optional implementations of other embodiments.
