Bluetooth Audio Clock Mapping for Multi-Chip Playback Synchronization

The patent introduces a clock map as an intermediary mechanism that translates time references between the Bluetooth dongle and AP. The clock map acts as a mediator that converts synchronization points from one clock domain to another, enabling accurate synchronization despite different clock sources. This resolves the contradiction by allowing device flexibility while maintaining precision through the intermediary translation layer.

The patent dynamically adjusts timing parameters based on the clock map relationship between different components. By changing the synchronization point parameters according to the specific clock configurations of each device, the system maintains accurate synchronization across devices with different clock sources, thus resolving the contradiction between flexibility and precision.

The clock map is pre-established and stored before actual audio processing occurs. By performing the synchronization configuration in advance, the system avoids complex real-time calculations during audio playback. The preliminary action of establishing the clock map reduces the processing complexity during critical audio synchronization operations while maintaining reliability.

The patent uses the clock map to copy and transform time reference information from the Bluetooth dongle domain to the AP domain. This copying mechanism simplifies the synchronization process by using pre-computed transformation parameters rather than complex real-time calculations, thus improving reliability while reducing processing complexity.
