Solution Overview

Problem

The existing Bluetooth communication methods require a pairing process every time new devices are connected, which is inconvenient for users.

Innovation Solution

A Bluetooth communication system and method that allows a central communication server to receive communication information from a paired terminal, transmit it to other terminals with the same device information, enabling them to establish a communication channel with a Bluetooth device without the need for a pairing process, using a receiving unit, transmitting unit, database, and control unit.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a pairing process is performed every time new Bluetooth devices are connected, then connection reliability is ensured, but user convenience deteriorates due to repeated pairing operations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection reliabilityVSAvoiduser convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-registering Bluetooth device information (device ID, name, icon) in a database before actual connection occurs. When a terminal connects to a Bluetooth device, the system proactively checks the database for pre-registered information and automatically completes pairing without requiring user intervention, thus ensuring reliability through pre-validation while improving convenience by eliminating repeated pairing operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses copying by storing Bluetooth device information (device ID, name, icon) in a database as a template. When the same Bluetooth device connects to different terminals, the pre-copied information from the database is reused for automatic pairing, eliminating the need to recreate pairing information each time and reducing repetitive user operations while maintaining connection reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Loss of time

If Bluetooth device information is pre-registered in a database, then pairing time is reduced, but system complexity increases due to database management requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepairing timeVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a database as an intermediary component that stores Bluetooth device information. This database acts as a mediator between terminals and Bluetooth devices, pre-storing device identifiers, names, and icons. The database simplifies the pairing process by providing quick lookup capabilities, reducing pairing time while centralizing the complexity of information management in a single accessible component rather than distributing it across multiple devices.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

Disclosed are a Bluetooth communication method and system which enable a Bluetooth device to be connected to other terminals without a pairing process and data to be transmitted through Bluetooth communication when the Bluetooth device is paired with any of a plurality of terminals having the same device information. The Bluetooth communication method includes receiving, by a receiving unit in a central communication server, communication information from a first terminal when the first terminal and a Bluetooth device are paired, transmitting, by a transmitting unit in the central communication server, the communication information to a second terminal having the same device information as the first terminal, and establishing, by the second terminal, a communication channel with the Bluetooth device, without the pairing process, on the basis of the received communication information.
