Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing Bluetooth networking technologies face challenges such as inflexible pairing procedures, inability to operate networking relations remotely, and limited configuration options, which hinder user experience and device interaction in distributed or MESH network topologies.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that allow for the establishment of a Bluetooth networking strategy list, enabling users to select and transmit networking strategies to a network server, which then adjusts the Bluetooth networking relations between master and slave devices, including automatic connection modes and time-based configurations, facilitating remote operation and flexible configuration.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual pairing procedure is used between Master device and Slave device, then authentication and connection can be established, but the networking relation cannot be operated on remotely and requires operator interface on Master device
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a terminal device as an intermediary between the user and the Bluetooth devices. The terminal device establishes correspondence relations between Master and Slave devices, stores networking strategies, and transmits control instructions to adjust Bluetooth networking relations remotely, eliminating the need for operator interface on the Master device itself.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the Bluetooth networking control function into multiple components: the terminal device manages the strategy list and correspondence relations, the Master device executes connection adjustments based on received instructions, and the Slave devices are managed according to predefined strategies. This segmentation enables remote operation while distributing complexity across multiple devices.
2Adaptability or versatility
If fixed pairing procedure is implemented, then connection can be established, but flexible networking strategies cannot be implemented and automatic switchover based on different time points is impossible
Solution Approach 1:
The patent establishes correspondence relations between Master and Slave devices in advance on the terminal device. Multiple networking strategies are pre-configured and stored in a strategy list, with each strategy containing predefined connection parameters. When a user selects a strategy, the terminal device transmits the corresponding instructions to the Master device, enabling flexible switching without real-time configuration complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamic networking strategies that can be switched based on different conditions and time points. The terminal device stores multiple strategies in a strategy list, allowing users to select and switch between different networking configurations dynamically, rather than using a fixed pairing procedure.
3Reliability
If traditional Bluetooth networking is used, then connection can be established, but backup, edit or restore of networking relation is impossible
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a digital copy of the Bluetooth networking relations by establishing correspondence relations between Master and Slave devices on the terminal device. These correspondence relations and networking strategies are stored in a strategy list, enabling backup, edit, and restore operations through the terminal device without affecting the actual Bluetooth connections.

AI summary
A method, a device and a system of controlling Bluetooth networking among physical devices are provided. The method includes: establishing a Bluetooth networking strategy list in advance, wherein the Bluetooth networking strategy list includes one or more Bluetooth networking strategies inputted or selected by a user in accordance with a pre-established correspondence relation between master and slave physical devices; receiving a Bluetooth-networking-strategy selection instruction; and transmitting a selected Bluetooth networking strategy in accordance with the Bluetooth-networking-strategy selection instruction to a network server, such that the Bluetooth networking strategy is forwarded by the network server to the master physical device, wherein the Bluetooth networking strategy is used to trigger the master physical device to adjust a Bluetooth networking relation between the master and the slave physical devices.
