Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing solutions for audio sharing between different pairs of Bluetooth earphones lack efficiency and reliability, often requiring additional hardware or relying on Bluetooth low energy broadcasts without guaranteed transmission reliability.
Innovation Solution
An information updating method that dynamically and flexibly combines Bluetooth devices from different device sets into a single Bluetooth device set for collaborative use, by updating set information to a target set information, enabling efficient audio sharing between N first Bluetooth devices and M second Bluetooth devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If Bluetooth low energy broadcasts are used for audio sharing between different device sets, then the implementation is simplified, but the transmission reliability is not guaranteed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent dynamically adjusts the information update mechanism based on connection status. When connections change, the electronic device actively pushes updated set information to affected Bluetooth devices, ensuring reliability without requiring complex manual reconfiguration. This dynamic adaptation resolves the contradiction by automating the reliability assurance process.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where Bluetooth devices report their connection status and set information back to the electronic device. The electronic device then determines which devices need information updates and pushes the necessary data. This closed-loop feedback system ensures transmission reliability while keeping the implementation manageable through automated control.
2Reliability
If additional hardware is used to enable audio sharing between different Bluetooth device sets, then the reliability is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The electronic device performs multiple functions: it manages its own Bluetooth connections, tracks set information for multiple device sets, determines which devices need updates, and pushes information accordingly. This multi-functional approach achieves reliable audio sharing between different device sets without requiring additional dedicated hardware, thus improving reliability while avoiding increased hardware complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses the existing electronic device's processing capabilities to manage the information synchronization across multiple Bluetooth device sets. Rather than adding specialized hardware, the electronic device serves itself by automatically tracking connections and distributing updated set information, achieving reliability through software intelligence rather than hardware additions.
3Adaptability or versatility
If Bluetooth devices from different device sets are combined for collaborative use, then the adaptability is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent maintains separate set information for different Bluetooth device sets (first set information, second set information, etc.) while enabling their combination through a unified management approach. The electronic device segments the tracking of different device sets but uses a single information update mechanism to manage them all, achieving adaptability for collaborative use without proportionally increasing system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The electronic device acts as an intermediary that manages the combination of Bluetooth devices from different device sets. It maintains the identity and set information of each device set separately while coordinating their collaborative operation through centralized information management and push notifications, enabling adaptability without requiring complex peer-to-peer coordination between devices.

AI summary
An information updating method and an electronic device are provided. The information updating method is performed by an electronic device. The method includes: obtaining target set information, the target set information being configured to indicate a target Bluetooth device set: sending the target set information to N first Bluetooth devices of a first Bluetooth device set, enabling the first Bluetooth devices to update first set information to the target set information; and sending the target set information to M second Bluetooth devices of a second Bluetooth device set, enabling the second Bluetooth devices to update second set information to the target set information.
