A point-to-multipoint data transmission method and device, the method including a left earbud and a right earbud of a true wireless stereo (TWS) headset separately performing pairing and service content negotiation with an electronic device. The left earbud receives left configuration information sent by the electronic device, to configure a left ISO channel, and the right earbud receives right configuration information sent by the electronic device, to configure a right ISO channel. The left earbud receives, based on the BLE-based audio profile, audio data that is sent by the electronic device through the left ISO channel, and the right earbud receives, based on the BLE-based audio profile, the audio data that is sent by the electronic device through the right ISO channel. The left earbud and the right earbud play the respectively received audio data based on a first timestamp.

A wearable device can establish a verified session with a host device (e.g., by establishing that the wearable device is present in the vicinity of the host device and is currently being worn). The existence of such a verified session can be used to control user access to sensitive information that may be stored in or otherwise accessible to a host device. For example, the host device and/or application programs executing thereon can be configured to restrict a user's ability to invoke program functionality that accesses sensitive information based on whether a verified session with a wearable device is currently in progress.

A technique for Bluetooth wireless communication is described. According to one aspect of the technique, Bluetooth data from a data source is received in a first wireless device through an antenna and a Bluetooth radio frequency transceiver thereof via a Bluetooth connection with the data source. The Bluetooth data is used to generate a modulation signal according to a narrowband orthogonal multi-carrier modulation technology. The modulation signal is transmitted to a second wireless device through the antenna and the Bluetooth radio frequency. The antenna and the Bluetooth radio frequency transceiver are time-multiplexed by the Bluetooth connection between the first wireless device and the data source, and the wireless connection between the first wireless device and the second wireless device. The described technique can be advantageously used for expanding the distance of Bluetooth wireless propagation of Bluetooth devices.
