Fig. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a method of establishing a short-range wireless communication connection, as shown in fig. 2, for use in a second smart device, according to an example embodiment, including the steps of:

in step 201, a first command sent by a first smart device through a CEC channel is received, where the CEC channel is a channel formed after a second smart device and the first smart device are connected through HDMI, and the first command is a command sent when the first smart device establishes a short-range wireless communication connection with the second smart device.

In step 202, a second command is sent to the first smart device through the CEC channel, where the second command carries a second MAC address of the second smart device, and the second MAC address is a short-range wireless communication protocol MAC address of the second smart device.

In step 203, when the first command carries a first MAC address, a short-range wireless communication connection is established with the first intelligent device based on the first MAC address, where the first MAC address is a short-range wireless communication protocol MAC address of the first intelligent device.

In the disclosed embodiment, the second smart device may be physically connected to the first smart device directly via HDMI, and receives a first command of the first smart device and transmits a second command carrying a second MAC address through the CEC channel formed by the physical connection, when the first command carries the first MAC address, the second intelligent device can establish the short-range wireless communication connection with the first intelligent device directly according to the first MAC address, that is, the second intelligent device and the first intelligent device mutually transmit the short-range wireless communication protocol MAC address through the CEC channel, in this way, the second intelligent device does not need to establish the short-distance wireless communication connection with the first intelligent device by responding to the broadcast message of the first intelligent device, that is, the first intelligent device does not need to perform device search any more, so that the process of establishing the short-distance wireless communication connection becomes quick and convenient.

Optionally, when the first command further carries a first acknowledgement, and the first command carries a first MAC address, the second command further carries a second acknowledgement, where the first acknowledgement is used to indicate that the first smart device does not receive the second MAC address, and the second acknowledgement is used to indicate that the second smart device has received the first MAC address.

when the first command also carries a first random number, determining a second random number based on the first random number, wherein the first random number is generated by the first intelligent equipment;

accordingly, the second command also carries a second random number.

Optionally, establishing a short-range wireless communication connection with the first smart device based on the first MAC address includes:

when a third command sent by the first intelligent device through the CEC channel is received, and the third command carries a third identifier and a third random number, judging whether a preset condition is met between the second random number and the third random number;

the third acknowledgement is used for indicating that the first intelligent device has received the second MAC address, and the third random number is determined by the first intelligent device based on the second random number;

and when the second random number and the third random number meet preset conditions, establishing short-distance wireless communication connection with the first intelligent equipment based on the first MAC address.

Optionally, the method further comprises:

when the first command does not carry the first MAC address, a fourth acknowledgement is sent to the first smart device through the CEC channel, and the first command sent by the first smart device through the CEC channel is received again, where the fourth acknowledgement is used to indicate that the second smart device does not receive the first MAC address.

Fig. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a method of establishing a short-range wireless communication connection according to an example embodiment, as shown in fig. 3, the method including the steps of:

in step 301, a first smart device sends a first command to a second smart device via a CEC channel.

As described in the aforementioned application scenarios, currently, there is HDMI on some smart display devices, which supports the transmission of uncompressed all-digital high-definition video, multi-channel audio, smart formats, and control commands over a single cable. The HDMI lines connecting the two smart devices include four differential cables, and cables such as DDC (Display Data Channel) and CEC (Consumer Electronics Control). The CEC channel will be formed when the first smart device and the second smart device are connected through the HDMI line.

In the disclosed embodiments, the first smart device may act as an initiating device that wants to establish a short-range wireless communication connection. When the first smart device is the initiating device, the first smart device may send the first command to the second smart device through the CEC channel after the system initialization is completed and the insertion prompt message is received. The insertion prompting message is used for indicating that the first intelligent device is connected with the second intelligent device through the HDMI line. The first command carries a first MAC address, the first MAC address is a short-distance wireless communication protocol MAC address of the first intelligent device, and the CEC channel is a channel formed after the first intelligent device and the second intelligent device are connected through HDMI.

It should be noted that, when the first intelligent device is used as an initiating device to send the first command, because the first intelligent device does not currently acquire the short-range wireless communication protocol MAC address of the second intelligent device, that is, the second MAC address, the first intelligent device may also carry a first acknowledgement in the first command in addition to the first MAC address carried in the first command, where the first acknowledgement is used to indicate that the first intelligent device has not currently received the second MAC address sent by the second intelligent device.

In addition, in order to ensure the real-time property of the first command sent by the first smart device, that is, in order to enable the second smart device to distinguish that the first command is the command sent by the first smart device for the second time, the first smart device may further carry a first random number in the sent first command, where the first random number is generated by the first smart device. For example, the first random number may be an integer randomly selected by the first smart device from 1-100.

It should be further noted that the first command may carry the first MAC address, the first MAC address and the first acknowledgement, or the first command may carry the first MAC address and the first random number, and of course, the first command may also simultaneously carry the first MAC address, the first acknowledgement, and the first random number.

Optionally, the first smart device may further store a MAC address sending status, where the MAC address sending status may be used to record whether the first smart device has sent the first MAC address to the second smart device. For example, if the first smart device never sends the first MAC address to the second smart device, then the MAC address send status will be unsent. When the first smart device is the initiator device, the MAC address transmission status may be updated to the transmitted MAC address after the first command is transmitted to the second smart device for the first time. Of course, the MAC address transmission state may include not only the non-transmission state and the transmission state, but also the transmission state and the ready-to-transmit state.

In step 302, the second smart device receives the first command through the CEC channel and sends the second command to the first smart device.

After the first smart device transmits the first command through the CEC channel, the second smart device may receive the first command through the CEC channel. Since the information carried in the first command may be lost during the transmission process, when the second smart device receives the first command, it may be determined whether the first command includes the first MAC address. Meanwhile, the second intelligent device can also send a second command to the first intelligent device so as to send the own short-range wireless communication protocol MAC address to the first intelligent device.

It should be noted that the second command carries the second MAC address, and in order to make the first intelligent device know that the second intelligent device has received the first MAC address, when the second intelligent device determines that the first command carries the first MAC address, the second intelligent device may also carry a second acknowledgement symbol in the second command, so as to notify the first intelligent device that the first MAC address has been received. Wherein the second acknowledgement is used to indicate that the second smart device has received the first MAC address.

Of course, if the second smart device determines that the first command does not carry the first MAC address, the second command sent to the first MAC address may carry a fourth acknowledgement symbol, so that the first smart device can know that the second smart device does not receive the first MAC address, and then send the first MAC address to the second smart device again, thereby improving the success rate of connection. Wherein the fourth acknowledgement is used to indicate that the second smart device did not receive the first MAC address.

Optionally, the second intelligent device may further determine whether the received first command carries a first random number, and when the received first command also carries the first random number, the second intelligent device may further generate a second random number according to the first random number, and carry the second random number in the second command. The second smart device may add 1 to the first random number to generate a second random number, or may process the first random number according to other preset rules to generate the second random number.

Optionally, the second smart device may also store a MAC address sending status, which is used to indicate whether the second smart device has sent the second MAC address to the first smart device. After the second intelligent device sends the second command carrying the second MAC address to the first intelligent device for the first time, the second intelligent device may update the MAC address status to sent.

After the second smart device sends the second command, if the first command carries the first MAC address, the second smart device may establish a short-range wireless communication connection with the first smart device through step 304.

In step 303, the first smart device receives a second command through the CEC channel.

After the second smart device transmits the second command to the first smart device through the CEC channel, the first smart device may receive the second command through the CEC channel. Then, the first intelligent device may determine whether the second command carries a second MAC address, and if the second command carries the second MAC address, the first intelligent device may establish a short-range wireless communication connection with the second intelligent device through step 304.

Optionally, when the first command sent by the first intelligent device further carries a first acknowledgement character, the first intelligent device may further determine whether the second command further carries a second acknowledgement character, and if the second command carries the second acknowledgement character, it indicates that the second intelligent device has received the first MAC address sent by the first intelligent device, at this time, the first intelligent device establishes a short-distance wireless communication connection with the second intelligent device through step 304, and the success rate of the connection is increased.

Of course, if the first intelligent device determines that the second command does not carry the second acknowledgement symbol but carries the fourth acknowledgement symbol, it indicates that the second intelligent device does not receive the first MAC address sent by the first intelligent device, and at this time, the first intelligent device needs to send the first MAC address to the second intelligent device again, that is, the first intelligent device may return to step 301 to continue sending the first command to the second intelligent device through the CEC channel.

Optionally, if the first command sent by the first smart device further carries a first random number, then, when the first smart device receives the second command, it may further determine whether the second command further carries a second random number, and if the second command carries the second random number and a preset condition is met between the second random number and the first random number, the first smart device may execute step 304.

Optionally, if the first command sent by the first intelligent device simultaneously carries the first random number and the first acknowledgement, then when receiving the second command, the first intelligent device may further determine whether the second command further carries the second random number and the second acknowledgement, and if the second command carries the second acknowledgement and the second random number and the preset condition is satisfied between the second random number and the first random number, then the first intelligent device may establish the short-range wireless communication connection with the second intelligent device through step 304.

It should be further noted that, after the first intelligent device determines that the received second command carries the second MAC address, if the second command also carries the second random number and the second acknowledgement, the first intelligent device may further send a third command to the second intelligent device to notify that the second intelligent device has received the second MAC address. The third command may carry a third random number and a third acknowledgement, where the third random number is obtained by the first intelligent device processing the second random number according to a preset rule, and the preset rule adopted when the first intelligent device obtains the third random number may be the same as the preset rule adopted when the second intelligent device obtains the second random number. For example, the first smart device may add 1 to the second random number to generate a third random number. Additionally, the third acknowledgement is used to indicate that the first smart device has received the second MAC address.

In step 304: and when the second command carries the second MAC address, the first intelligent device establishes short-distance wireless communication connection with the second intelligent device based on the second MAC address.

When the first intelligent device determines that the second command carries the second MAC address, since the first intelligent device has sent the first MAC address to the second intelligent device, the first intelligent device can directly establish short-range wireless communication connection with the second intelligent device according to the second MAC address at this time.

Optionally, in order to improve a success rate of connection between the first intelligent device and the second intelligent device, the first intelligent device may establish a short-range wireless communication connection with the second intelligent device based on the second MAC address when it is determined that the second command further carries the second acknowledgement. Or, the first intelligent device may establish the short-range wireless communication connection with the second intelligent device based on the second MAC address when it is determined that the second command further carries the second random number and the preset condition is satisfied between the second random number and the first random number. Or, the first intelligent device may further establish short-range wireless communication connection with the second intelligent device based on the second MAC address when it is determined that the second command further carries a second acknowledgement symbol and a second random number, and the preset condition is satisfied between the second random number and the first random number.

It should be noted that, when the first intelligent device establishes the short-range wireless communication connection with the second intelligent device based on the second MAC address, the second intelligent device may send a connection request to the second intelligent device, and when the second intelligent device receives the connection request, if the first command received by the second intelligent device carries the first MAC address, the second intelligent device may directly establish the short-range wireless communication connection with the first intelligent device according to the first MAC address.

Of course, if the first command does not carry the first MAC address, then the second smart device may not establish short-distance wireless communication connection with the first smart device because the second smart device has not acquired the first MAC address of the first smart device, and at this time, the second smart device may return to step 302 to continue to receive the first command sent by the first smart device through the CEC channel.

Optionally, based on the descriptions in step 301 and step 302, when the second command further carries the second acknowledgement and the second random number, the second smart device may further receive, through the CEC channel, the third command sent by the first smart device after sending the second command to the first smart device. If the second intelligent device receives the third command, the second intelligent device may determine whether the third command carries a third acknowledgement symbol and a third random number, and if the third command carries the third acknowledgement symbol and the third random number and a preset condition is satisfied between the third random number and the second random number, the second intelligent device may establish a short-distance wireless communication connection with the first intelligent device according to the first MAC address.

The third acknowledgement is used to indicate that the first smart device has received the second MAC address, the third random number is generated by the first smart device according to the second random number, and a preset rule for the first smart device to generate the third random number based on the second random number and a preset rule for the second smart device to generate the second random number based on the first random number may be the same. Since the third random number is generated by the second smart device according to the second random number by the preset rule, the second smart device may determine whether the second random number satisfies the preset condition before the third random number is set by the second smart device after receiving the third command, so as to distinguish the authenticity of the third random number. In addition, if the third command carries the third acknowledgement character, the second intelligent device can determine that the first intelligent device has received the second MAC address, and at this time, the second intelligent device establishes short-distance wireless communication connection with the first intelligent device according to the first MAC address, thereby improving the connection success rate.

Optionally, if the third command received by the second intelligent device does not carry the third acknowledgement character, but carries the third random number and the first acknowledgement character, and the preset condition is satisfied between the third random number and the second random number, at this time, the second intelligent device may determine, according to the first acknowledgement character, that the first intelligent device does not receive the second MAC address, and therefore, the second intelligent device may return to the step of sending the second command to the first intelligent device, and continue to send its own MAC address to the first intelligent device until the third acknowledgement character sent by the first intelligent device is received.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first smart device and the second smart device may be directly physically connected through HDMI, and transmit the short-range wireless communication protocol MAC address to each other through a CEC channel formed by the physical connection, so that the first smart device and the second smart device may directly acquire the short-range wireless communication protocol MAC address of the other party, and establish the short-range wireless communication connection according to the acquired short-range wireless communication protocol MAC address, and do not need to perform device search, so that the process of establishing the short-range wireless communication connection becomes fast and convenient. In addition, the first intelligent device and the second intelligent device can carry corresponding confirmers and random numbers in commands sent to the opposite side so as to inform the opposite side whether the MAC address of the opposite side is received or not, and when the MAC address is not received, the opposite side can send the MAC address to the opposite side again, so that the two sides can be ensured to acquire the MAC address of the opposite side, and the connection success rate is improved.

It should be noted that, in the foregoing embodiment, a method for establishing a short-range wireless communication connection between a first smart device and a second smart device when the first smart device is used as an initiating device is mainly described. In practical application, the second intelligent device may also serve as the initiating device, and when the second intelligent device serves as the initiating device, the second intelligent device is also equivalent to the first intelligent device in the above embodiment, and a specific implementation process may refer to the above embodiment, and an independent description is not provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

In addition, based on the above description, it is known that, because both the first smart device and the second smart device may serve as initiating devices, in practical applications, when the system initialization of the first smart device and the second smart device is completed and the insertion prompt information is received, the first smart device and the second smart device may send commands to each other at the same time, that is, the first smart device and the second smart device may send commands to each other at the same time as the initiating devices, at this time, the commands sent by the first smart device and the second smart device, except for carrying their own MAC addresses, will both carry a confirmation symbol indicating that the MAC addresses of the other devices are not received, and after the first smart device receives the second command sent by the second smart device, if the second command carries the second MAC address, the first MAC address may be sent to the second smart device again, and transmits a third acknowledgement, after which the first smart device may establish a short-range wireless communication connection with the second smart device based on the received second MAC address. Correspondingly, after receiving the first command, if the first command carries the first MAC address, the second smart device may send the second MAC address to the first smart device again, and send the second acknowledgement. Of course, if the second smart device receives the first MAC address and the third acknowledgement sent again by the first smart device before sending again the second MAC address and the second acknowledgement, the second smart device may directly send the second acknowledgement to the first smart device, and thereafter, the second smart device may establish a short-range wireless communication connection with the first smart device based on the first MAC address.
