Bluetooth Controller Slot Timing Adjustment for Audible Noise Reduction

The patent applies dynamics by making the transmission slot timing adjustable rather than fixed. The controller circuit dynamically modifies the timing of transmission slots based on counted clock cycles, creating variable intervals between transmissions. This transforms the static periodic transmission into a dynamic system that can adapt timing to avoid human-perceivable frequencies while maintaining communication efficiency.

The patent changes the timing parameter of transmission slots from a fixed periodic value to a variable value determined by counting clock cycles and applying non-linear adjustment. By modifying the time interval parameter between transmission slots, the system shifts the signal frequency away from the 20Hz-20kHz range perceivable by humans, thereby reducing audible noise while preserving transmission productivity.

The controller circuit performs self-service by autonomously counting clock cycles and automatically adjusting transmission slot timing without external intervention. The built-in counter and timing adjustment logic enable the device to self-regulate its transmission schedule, eliminating the need for additional external control mechanisms and minimizing the increase in overall system complexity.

The patent introduces a clock counter as an intermediary component between the reference clock signal and the transmission slot timing control. This intermediary counts clock cycles and provides adjusted timing information to the transmission controller, effectively mediating the timing adjustment function with minimal added complexity rather than requiring direct complex control logic.
