DETAILED DESCRIPTION

(6) To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present application more comprehensible, the following further describes the present application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely used to explain the present disclosure but are not intended to limit the present application.

Embodiment 1

(7) FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a method for identifying a Bluetooth headset voice source provided by the present application. For the convenience of description, only the parts related to the embodiment of the present application are shown, which are detailed as follows:

(8) S1: Establish a connection between a device itself, that is, a first Bluetooth headset, and a smart terminal and a connection between the first Bluetooth headset and a second Bluetooth headset separately.

(9) A connection is established between the first Bluetooth headset and the smart terminal through Hands-Free Profile, Generic Attribute Profile and Attribute Protocol, and a connection is established between the first Bluetooth headset and the second Bluetooth headset through Hands-Free Profile.

(10) S2: When the first or second Bluetooth headset sends a voice, establish a data control channel by using Generic Attribute Profile and Attribute Protocol, send a corresponding identifier to the smart terminal according to different voice sources, and then send the voice to the smart terminal.

(11) As shown in FIG. 2, step S2 further includes:

(12) S21: Generate a first voice by the device itself, or receive a second voice sent by the second Bluetooth headset.

(13) S22: Determine whether the voice is generated by the device itself; if not, execute S23; if yes, send a first identifier representing the first Bluetooth headset to the smart terminal, then send the first voice to the smart terminal, and end.

(14) S23: Send a second identifier representing the second Bluetooth headset to the smart terminal, and then send the second voice to the smart terminal.

(15) FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of protocol design of the first Bluetooth headset in the method. A typical Bluetooth headset can only be passively connected and cannot be actively connected to other Bluetooth devices. In the present application, the first Bluetooth headset can be actively connected. Two sets of Bluetooth audio transport protocols are run on the same baseband. That is, the first Bluetooth headset implements the audio profile and Hands-Free Profile (HFP) of Bluetooth profiles, and at the same time acts as an HFP gateway (audio gateway), and thus, can be connected to two different Bluetooth devices and transmit the voice. The voice of the smart terminal is transmitted to the first Bluetooth headset, and the first Bluetooth headset can transmit the voice to the second Bluetooth headset. The voice of the second Bluetooth headset is sent back to the first Bluetooth headset through synchronous connection-oriented (SCO) links, and sent by the first Bluetooth headset back to the smart terminal through the SCO links.

(16) In order to facilitate different target voice identifiers, Generic Attribute Profile (GATT) is added between the smart terminal and the first Bluetooth headset as a data control channel. The Attribute Protocol (ATT) acts as a basic protocol of Generic Attribute Profile, so that the first identifier and the second identifier respectively representing the first Bluetooth headset and the second Bluetooth headset can be transmitted in the data control channel. The identifier can be UUID data of which rules are user-defined, so that the smart terminal and the first Bluetooth headset comply with the rules, and can identify the UUID data from each other and acquire important information, such as a character string representing different Bluetooth devices. The control unit in the first Bluetooth headset can determine whether the voice is generated by the device itself, and whether the received identifier is an identifier representing the device itself. The smart terminal in the method can be a mobile smart device with a Bluetooth interface, such as a smart phone, a tablet computer, and a smart watch or bracelet.

(17) Further optionally, the method further includes the part that the first and second Bluetooth headsets receive the voice of the smart terminal. As shown in FIG. 4, the method further includes the following steps:

(18) S3: Enable the device itself, that is, the first Bluetooth headset, to receive the identifier sent by the smart terminal by using the data control channel, and then receive the voice sent by the smart terminal.

(19) S4: Determine whether the identifier is the first identifier representing the first Bluetooth headset; if not, execute S5; if yes, play the voice directly.

(20) S5: Send the voice to the second Bluetooth headset.

(21) Therefore, the first Bluetooth headset mainly performs the function of voice forwarding and identifier determination in the whole process, and the voice data is temporarily stored in the first Bluetooth headset during forwarding. After the corresponding identifier is sent, the voice data is instantly sent to the smart terminal or the second Bluetooth headset.

Embodiment 2

(22) As shown in FIG. 5, the first Bluetooth headset includes a baseband circuit 1, a memory 2, and a main controller 3. The baseband circuit 1 corresponds to the protocol part of the baseband in FIG. 3, and is configured to complete the underlying processing of wireless signals, and transmit the processed digital signals to the upper layer system. The memory 2 is configured to store a computer program and temporary voice data. The computer program corresponds to and uses multiple protocols of the upper layer of the baseband in FIG. 3, including link management, logical link control and adaptation protocol, synchronous connection-oriented, service discovery protocol, serial transmission protocol, hands-free profile, Attribute Protocol and Generic Attribute Profile. In this embodiment, the memory 2 may be an internal memory integrated in the main controller, including an ROM internal memory and an RAM internal memory. The computer program is stored in the ROM internal memory, and the temporary voice data is stored in the RAM internal memory. The main controller 3 is configured to execute the computer program. The baseband circuit 1 is electrically connected to the main controller 3, and the memory 2 is electrically connected to the main controller 3. In some alternative embodiments, the first Bluetooth headset may also include an NFC chip, and the NFC chip is electrically connected to the main controller 3 for quick connection of the first Bluetooth headset to other Bluetooth devices. An external memory electrically connected to the main controller 3 may also be added to the first Bluetooth headset for storing the generated voice data such that the first Bluetooth headset has a voice recording function.
