Configuration-Driven Bluetooth Connection Across Device Models

The patent implements a universal connection management mechanism that handles multiple connection policies (conventional Bluetooth, coil adsorption, proximity discovery) through a unified framework. The terminal device maintains a configuration file that defines connection policies for different device types, allowing the system to adapt to various Bluetooth devices without adding separate handling logic for each device model. This multi-functional approach enables the same code structure to manage diverse connection scenarios.

The patent uses configuration files to dynamically adjust connection parameters based on device type and connection scenario. By storing connection policy definitions in external configuration files rather than hardcoding them, the system can change connection behavior through parameter modifications without modifying the core code. This allows different connection policies to be activated based on device identification and connection context.

The patent pre-defines connection policies and timing parameters in configuration files before actual connection operations. By establishing connection rules, device identification criteria, and timing parameters in advance through configuration files, the system avoids runtime decision-making complexity and timing conflicts. The pre-configured policies guide the connection process step-by-step, ensuring reliable execution without ad-hoc timing adjustments.

The patent introduces a configuration file as an intermediary layer between the connection management system and specific device requirements. This intermediary stores connection policies, device type definitions, and timing parameters, mediating between the universal connection framework and device-specific needs. The configuration file acts as a lookup table that resolves timing and compatibility issues without requiring complex runtime logic.
