Bluetooth Identifier Highlighting via Indication Packets for Faster Pairing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face difficulty in quickly identifying the correct Bluetooth device for pairing due to multiple link identifiers displayed on electronic devices, making the pairing process cumbersome.
Innovation Solution
Electronic devices broadcast Bluetooth packets with indication information to highlight the link identifier of the target device, using motion status changes or shared accounts to facilitate quick identification.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple link identifiers are displayed on the Bluetooth scanning interface, then the electronic device can discover more Bluetooth devices, but the user cannot quickly find the target device identifier
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies color changes by displaying the target link identifier in a distinctive color (e.g., red background with white text) compared to other link identifiers (e.g., black background with white text). This visual differentiation through color allows users to quickly identify the target device among multiple discovered Bluetooth devices, resolving the contradiction between discovering multiple devices and enabling quick target identification.
2Device complexity
If the Bluetooth scanning interface displays all link identifiers uniformly, then the interface design is simple, but the user experience is poor due to difficulty in finding the target device
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by making only the target link identifier visually distinctive while keeping other link identifiers in the default style. This localized differentiation maintains overall interface simplicity while providing the necessary visual cue for users to quickly identify the target device, thus resolving the contradiction between interface simplicity and user experience.
3Loss of time
If the electronic device highlights the target link identifier, then the pairing process becomes faster, but the Bluetooth packet structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by including indication information in the Bluetooth packet that identifies the target device in advance. This allows the receiving device to pre-process and highlight the target link identifier before the user even views the scanning interface, reducing the time required for pairing while maintaining simple packet structures through the use of straightforward indication flags.

AI summary
A method for displaying a BLUETOOTH device identifier includes a first electronic device that broadcasts a first BLUETOOTH packet. The first BLUETOOTH packet includes first indication information. A second electronic device broadcasts a second BLUETOOTH packet. A third electronic device displays a BLUETOOTH scanning interface, and scans a third BLUETOOTH packet. The third electronic device displays the first link identifier and a second link identifier on the BLUETOOTH scanning interface in response to receiving the first BLUETOOTH packet and the second BLUETOOTH packet. The third electronic device displays the first link identifier in the highlighting manner on the BLUETOOTH scanning interface in response to the first BLUETOOTH packet comprising the first indication information.
