The specific execution process of the terminal device executing the communication processing method is as follows:
[0047] After establishing a connection with the terminal expansion module, the terminal device 10 performs clock synchronization processing on the terminal expansion module, and then the terminal device 10 communicates with the peer device 11 based on the clock-synchronized terminal expansion module.
[0048] In summary, the embodiments of this application improve the latency caused by communication clock asynchrony by performing clock synchronization processing after the connection is established, thereby reducing communication latency and improving user experience.
[0049] The following sections provide detailed descriptions of each example. It should be noted that the order in which the embodiments are described is not intended to limit the priority of the embodiments.
[0050] Please refer to Figure 2, which is a flowchart illustrating the communication processing method provided in this embodiment. Although the flowchart shows a logical order, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be executed in a different order than that shown in the flowchart. Specifically, the execution subject of this communication processing method is a terminal device. This terminal device can communicate directly with the peer device or communicate with the peer device through a terminal extension module. This embodiment uses the scenario of a terminal device communicating with a peer device based on a terminal extension module as an example. Accordingly, the terminal device includes devices such as mobile phones, tablets, and televisions. Specifically, the process of the terminal device executing the communication processing method includes:
[0051] 101. After establishing a connection with the terminal expansion module, perform clock synchronization processing on the terminal expansion module.
[0052] It should be noted that the terminal expansion module refers to a module that expands the communication capabilities of a terminal device. For example, for devices that do not have the ability to communicate with other devices, this terminal expansion module can be connected to transmit information from the terminal device to other devices, thereby enabling communication between the terminal device and other devices. The terminal expansion module can be externally connected to the terminal device, such as via USB, or it can be built into the terminal device's internal components, such as being mounted on the terminal device's chip. For example, in this embodiment of the application, taking Bluetooth communication as an example, the terminal expansion module includes, but is not limited to, a Bluetooth expansion module, i.e., a Bluetooth dongle.
[0053] Specifically, after establishing a connection with the terminal expansion module, clock synchronization processing is performed with the terminal expansion module to ensure that the clocks of the terminal device and the terminal expansion module are synchronized, avoiding communication delays caused by clock asynchrony. Clock synchronization refers to maintaining time consistency among multiple devices or systems, and clock synchronization processing refers to a series of measures taken to achieve clock synchronization, such as master-slave synchronization and timestamp synchronization, which are not limited here.
[0054] 102. The terminal expansion module, after clock synchronization processing, communicates with the peer device.
[0055] Understandably, the communication between the terminal expansion module and the peer device based on clock synchronization processing not only enables communication between the terminal device and the peer device, but also reduces the latency during communication between the terminal device and the peer device through clock synchronization processing, thereby improving the user experience.
[0056] The peer device includes devices capable of communicating with other devices. For example, the peer device can communicate directly with other devices or through a terminal extension module. Taking Bluetooth communication as an example, the terminal device includes a Bluetooth master device, and the peer device includes a Bluetooth slave device. The Bluetooth master device communicates with the Bluetooth slave device through a Bluetooth extension device that has undergone clock synchronization processing.
[0057] In summary, the embodiments of this application improve the latency caused by communication clock asynchrony by performing clock synchronization processing after the connection is established, thereby reducing communication latency and improving user experience.
[0058] It should be noted that, in order to achieve clock synchronization between the terminal device and the terminal expansion module, clock information exchange between the terminal device and the terminal expansion module is required. To achieve this exchange, in this embodiment, a synchronization pin is provided on the terminal expansion module. Clock information is sent or received based on this synchronization pin to achieve clock synchronization between the terminal device and the terminal expansion module. Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, the step "after establishing a connection with the terminal expansion module, performing clock synchronization processing on the terminal expansion module" includes:
[0059] After establishing a connection with the terminal expansion module, clock synchronization processing is performed on the terminal expansion module based on the synchronization pin pre-set in the terminal expansion module.
[0060] Among them, the synchronization pin is a physical connection point on the electronic device, such as a sync pin, which can mark the start and end of a data frame. By setting a synchronization pin on the terminal expansion module, clock information can be sent or received using the synchronization pin, and then clock synchronization processing can be performed based on the sent or received clock information to establish clock synchronization between the terminal device and the terminal expansion module.
[0061] For example, the terminal expansion module sends its own clock information to the terminal device through the synchronization pin. Then, the terminal device generates clock synchronization information based on its own clock information and the clock information received from the terminal expansion module, and sends the clock synchronization information to the terminal expansion module through the synchronization pin, so that the terminal expansion module synchronizes its clock with the terminal device based on the clock synchronization information.
[0062] That is, optionally, in some embodiments of this application, the step "after establishing a connection with the terminal expansion module, performing clock synchronization processing on the terminal expansion module based on the synchronization pin pre-set in the terminal expansion module" includes:
[0063] After establishing a connection with the terminal expansion module, the first clock information of the terminal expansion module is obtained based on the synchronization pin pre-set in the terminal expansion module.
[0064] Clock synchronization information is generated based on the first clock information and the second clock information of the terminal device;
[0065] The clock synchronization information is sent to the terminal expansion module via the synchronization pin, wherein the terminal expansion module establishes clock synchronization with the terminal device based on the received clock synchronization information.
[0066] The first clock information and the second clock information are the current clock information of the terminal expansion module and the terminal device, respectively. It can be understood that the clock synchronization information is determined based on the first clock information and the second clock information and is used to control the clock synchronization of the terminal device and the terminal expansion module.
[0067] Understandably, in some scenarios, the terminal device can also send its own clock information to the terminal expansion module. The terminal expansion module then generates clock synchronization information based on its own clock information and the received clock information from the terminal device. This clock synchronization information is then sent to the terminal device via the synchronization pin to instruct the terminal device to make clock adjustments in order to achieve clock synchronization with the terminal expansion module.
[0068] In summary, the terminal device in this application embodiment connects to a terminal expansion module, enabling the terminal device to communicate with other devices (e.g., peer devices) using the terminal expansion module. Furthermore, by providing a synchronization pin on the terminal expansion module, clock synchronization between the terminal device and the terminal expansion module is achieved. This clock synchronization process reduces communication latency between the terminal device and the terminal expansion module, thereby reducing communication latency when the terminal device communicates with other devices.
[0069] By setting a synchronization pin on the terminal expansion module, the terminal device and the terminal expansion module can exchange clock information, which solves the drawback that the terminal device and the terminal expansion module cannot exchange clock information and thus cannot synchronize clocks in the traditional case.
[0070] It should be noted that there are various reasons for communication delays. Besides clock asynchrony between devices, inconsistent data read / write frequencies can also lead to data accumulation (e.g., fast writes but slow reads) or prolonged periods without data access (e.g., slow writes but fast reads), resulting in communication delays. Therefore, in this embodiment, in addition to clock synchronization between devices, the read / write frequency is controlled to mitigate communication delays. Specifically, in some embodiments of this application, after the step "after establishing a connection with the terminal expansion module, perform clock synchronization processing on the terminal expansion module," the method further includes:
[0071] The frequency of writing the first data to be transmitted to the communication host is adjusted to a first frequency, and the frequency of reading the first data to be transmitted from the communication host by the terminal expansion module is adjusted to a second frequency, wherein the first frequency and the second frequency are the same.
[0072] The terminal extension module, based on clock synchronization processing, communicates with the peer device, including:
[0073] The terminal extension module, after clock synchronization processing, transmits the first data to be transmitted to the peer device at the first frequency and the second frequency.
[0074] The communication host is a device or module built into the terminal device, responsible for managing the terminal device's communication. For example, for a Bluetooth device, the communication host is the Bluetooth host. The terminal device communicates with the peer device through the communication host and the terminal expansion module.
[0075] To more clearly illustrate how the terminal device communicates with the peer device based on the communication host and terminal expansion module, the transmission process of communication data or data to be transmitted will be described below. For example, please refer to Figure 3. Taking audio data as an example, Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of the audio data transmission process provided in this embodiment of the application. Specifically, the audio data transmission process includes:
[0076] 111. The terminal device generates audio data and writes it into the communication host;
[0077] 112. The terminal expansion module connected to the terminal device reads the audio data from the communication host;
[0078] 113. The terminal expansion module will send the read audio data to the peer device.
[0079] Therefore, if the frequency of writing to the communication host is different from the frequency of reading from the communication host, it will cause communication delay. For example, if the frequency of writing to the communication host is high and the frequency of reading from the communication host is slow, audio data will accumulate in the communication host, causing the audio data to be unable to be read in time, resulting in communication delay. Conversely, if the frequency of writing to the communication host is low and the frequency of reading from the communication host is high, it will result in no data being read from the communication host for a long time, resulting in delay.
[0080] Therefore, this embodiment of the application controls the frequency of writing to the communication host to be consistent with the frequency of reading from the communication host, so that the reading and writing of audio data are balanced, thereby further alleviating communication delay on the basis of alleviating delay based on clock synchronization.
[0081] In this embodiment, the process of writing to the communication host has an initial frequency, and similarly, the process of reading from the communication host also has an initial frequency. To ensure orderly data processing, one of the two initial frequencies can be selected as the target frequency for adjustment, controlling the reading and writing frequencies to remain consistent. Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, the step "adjusting the frequency of writing the first data to be transmitted to the communication host to a first frequency, and adjusting the frequency of the terminal expansion module reading the first data to be transmitted from the communication host to a second frequency" includes:
[0082] Obtain the original write frequency for writing the first data to be transmitted to the communication host, and obtain the original read frequency for the terminal expansion module to read the first data to be transmitted from the communication host;
[0083] Select a target frequency from the original write frequency and the original read frequency, and use the target frequency as the first frequency and the second frequency.
[0084] The original write frequency is the frequency at which the terminal device or the application control in the terminal device writes data to the communication host before the frequency adjustment, and the original read frequency is the frequency at which the control terminal expansion module reads data from the communication host before the frequency adjustment.
[0085] Choosing either the original write frequency or the original read frequency as the target frequency helps ensure read stability; for example, it ensures that at least one frequency remains constant. To ensure fast and efficient data transmission, the larger of the original write frequency and the original read frequency can be selected as the target frequency.
[0086] Accordingly, in the embodiments of this application, for the receiving end (e.g., the peer device), or when the terminal device in the embodiments of this application receives audio data sent by the peer device, in order to ensure the consistency of the read and write frequencies, it is also necessary to adjust the frequency at which the terminal expansion module writes to the communication host to be consistent with the frequency at which the terminal device reads from the communication host. That is, optionally, in some embodiments of this application, after the step "after establishing a connection with the terminal expansion module, perform clock synchronization processing on the terminal expansion module", the method further includes:
[0087] The frequency at which the terminal expansion module writes the second data to be transmitted to the communication host is adjusted to a third frequency, and the frequency at which the terminal expansion module reads the second data to be transmitted from the communication host is adjusted to a fourth frequency, wherein the third frequency and the fourth frequency are the same;
[0088] The terminal extension module, based on clock synchronization processing, communicates with the peer device, including:
[0089] The terminal extension module, after clock synchronization processing, receives the second data to be transmitted from the peer device according to the third and fourth frequencies.
[0090] For example, after a terminal device receives audio data through a terminal expansion module, the terminal expansion module writes the audio data to a communication host. Then, the terminal device or an application within the terminal device reads the audio data from the communication host. This embodiment of the application helps alleviate latency when receiving audio data by controlling the consistency of the read and write frequencies during data reception.
[0091] In this embodiment, the data that needs to be exchanged during frequency adjustment can also be transmitted through the synchronization pin. For example, the terminal expansion module can transmit its own read / write frequency to the terminal device based on the synchronization pin, so that the terminal device can determine the target frequency based on the read / write frequency of the communication host and the read / write frequency of the terminal expansion module, and then send the target frequency to the terminal expansion module so that the terminal expansion module can adjust the read frequency based on the target frequency, so that the frequency written to the communication host is consistent with the frequency read by the terminal expansion module from the communication host, or the frequency written by the terminal expansion module to the communication host is consistent with the frequency read by the terminal device from the communication host.
[0092] In summary, the terminal device in this application embodiment connects to a terminal expansion module, enabling the terminal device to communicate with other devices (e.g., peer devices) using the terminal expansion module. Furthermore, by providing a synchronization pin on the terminal expansion module, clock synchronization between the terminal device and the terminal expansion module is achieved. This clock synchronization process reduces communication latency between the terminal device and the terminal expansion module, thereby reducing communication latency when the terminal device communicates with other devices.
[0093] By setting a synchronization pin on the terminal expansion module, the terminal device and the terminal expansion module can exchange clock information, which solves the drawback that the terminal device and the terminal expansion module cannot exchange clock information and thus cannot synchronize clocks in the traditional case.
[0094] By adjusting the read / write frequencies between the communication host of the terminal device and the terminal expansion module to be the same, a read / write balance is maintained during data transmission, reducing latency issues caused by different read / write frequencies.
[0095] In summary, the communication processing method of this application embodiment is applicable to scenarios based on Bluetooth Low Energy (LE Audio) communication. It improves the user experience by mitigating the latency problem of LE Audio communication through clock synchronization based on synchronization pins and consistency adjustment based on read / write frequencies.
[0096] This communication processing method can be used on both the terminal device and the peer device to further improve latency mitigation.
[0097] To facilitate better implementation of the communication processing method of this application, this application also provides a communication processing apparatus based on the above-described communication processing method. The meanings of the terms used are the same as in the above-described communication processing method, and specific implementation details can be found in the descriptions of the method embodiments.
