Abstract

Methods and systems for registration management between electronic devices are provided. First, at least one first signal is wirelessly received, and identification data in the first signal is stored. The first signal is broadcasted by at least one first electronic device. Then, at least one second signal is wirelessly received, wherein the second signal is broadcasted by at least one second electronic device. A connection for the second electronic device is established via a wireless network according to identification data in the second signal, and the identification data corresponding to the first electronic device is transmitted to the second electronic device via the wireless network, such that the identification data corresponding to the first electronic device is registered in the second electronic device.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for registration management between electronic devices for use in an intermediate electronic device, comprising:
wirelessly receiving a first signal from at least one first electronic device, wherein the first signal is broadcasted by the first electronic device, and the first signal comprises the identification data corresponding to the first electronic device;
determining whether specific information in the first signal conforms to predefined information, wherein the specific information comprises motion information corresponding to the first electronic device, or specific data generated according to the motion information;
when the specific information in the first signal conforms to the predefined information, recording
the identification data corresponding to the first electronic device in the first signal;
wirelessly receiving a second signal from at least one second electronic device, wherein the second signal is broadcasted by the second electronic device, and the second signal comprises identification data corresponding to the second electronic device;
establishing a connection between the second electronic device and the intermediate electronic device via a wireless network according to the identification data corresponding to the second electronic device; and
transmitting the identification data corresponding to the first electronic device to the second electronic device via the wireless network, to register the identification data corresponding to the first electronic device in the second electronic device.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
displaying information corresponding to the second electronic device via an interface;
receiving a selection corresponding to the information via the interface; and
in response to the selection, establishing the connection between the second electronic device and the intermediate electronic device via the wireless network according to the identification data corresponding to the second electronic device, and transmitting the identification data corresponding to the first electronic device to the second electronic device via the wireless network.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second electronic device performs subsequent processes for the signals having the identification data which is registered in the second electronic device.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
wirelessly receiving a specific signal by the second electronic device, wherein the specific signal is broadcasted by a specific electronic device, and the specific signal comprises identification data corresponding to the specific electronic device;
determining whether the identification data corresponding to the specific electronic device matches to one of the registered identification data in the second electronic device by the second electronic device;
when the identification data corresponding to the specific electronic device does not match to one of the registered identification data in the second electronic device, ignoring the specific signal; and
when the identification data corresponding to the specific electronic device matches to one of the registered identification data in the second electronic device, processing data in the specific signal.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the method for processing the data in the specific signal comprises steps of:
retrieving a specific management content from a plurality of management contents according to the data in the specific signal; and
presenting the specific management content via the second electronic device.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the specific electronic device comprises at least one motion sensor for detecting motion information corresponding to the specific electronic device, and the data in the specific signal is generated according to the motion information corresponding to the specific electronic device.

7. The method of claim 4 , wherein a wireless connecting unit of the specific electronic device and a wireless connecting unit of the second electronic device respectively have a peripheral mode and a central mode, in which the specific electronic device broadcasts the specific signal in the peripheral mode, and the second electronic device receives the specific signal in the central mode.

8. A system for registration management between electronic devices for use in an intermediate electronic device, comprising:
a wireless transceiver wirelessly receiving a first signal from at least one first electronic device, wherein the first signal is broadcasted by the first electronic device, and the first signal comprises identification data corresponding to the first electronic device, wirelessly receiving a second signal from at least one second electronic device, wherein the second signal is broadcasted by the second electronic device, and the second signal comprises identification data corresponding to the second electronic device; and
a processing unit determining whether specific information in the first signal conforms to predefined information, wherein the specific information comprises motion information corresponding to the first electronic device, or specific data generated according to the motion information, when the specific information in the first signal conforms to the predefined information, recording the identification data corresponding to the first electronic device, establishing a connection between the second electronic device and the intermediate electronic device via a wireless network according to the identification data corresponding to the second electronic device, and transmitting the identification data corresponding to the first electronic device to the second electronic device via the wireless network, to register the identification data corresponding to the first electronic device in the second electronic device.

9. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising a computer program, which, when executed, causes a device to perform a method for registration management between electronic devices for use in an intermediate electronic device, wherein the method comprises:
wirelessly receiving a first signal from at least one first electronic device, wherein the first signal is broadcasted by the first electronic device, and the first signal comprises the identification data corresponding to the first electronic device;
determining whether specific information in the first signal conforms to predefined information, wherein the specific information comprises motion information corresponding to the first electronic device, or specific data generated according to the motion information;
when the specific information in the first signal conforms to the predefined information, recording the identification data corresponding to the first electronic device in the first signal;
wirelessly receiving a second signal from at least one second electronic device, wherein the second signal is broadcasted by the second electronic device, and the second signal comprises identification data corresponding to the second electronic device;
establishing a connection between the second electronic device and the intermediate electronic device via a wireless network according to the identification data corresponding to the second electronic device; and
transmitting the identification data corresponding to the first electronic device to the second electronic device via the wireless network, to register the identification data corresponding to the first electronic device in the second electronic device.
