Abstract

A data processing method includes, when receiving a BLUETOOTH scanning enabling indication of a first application, a first device that receives broadcast data from a second device, sends a scanning request to the second device, and receives a scanning response. Accordingly, when the broadcast data is a data packet of a specified type, the broadcast data is reported to the first application, and the scanning response is discarded.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method implemented by a first device, wherein the method comprising:
when receiving a BLUETOOTH scanning enabling indication of a first application on a first device:
receiving, from a second device, second broadcast data;
sending, to the second device, a scanning request; and
receiving, from the second device and in response to the scanning request, a scanning response; and

in response to identifying the second broadcast data is a data packet of a first type:
reporting the second broadcast data to the first application on the first device; and
discarding the scanning response without reporting the scanning response to the first application.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
combining the second broadcast data with the scanning response to obtain combined data when the second broadcast data is not the data packet; and
reporting the combined data to the first application.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving the BLUETOOTH scanning enabling indication after the first application collects a sound signal and when the first application is a voice assistant application.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the second broadcast data is the data packet and carries collaboration information of the second device.

5. The method of claim 3 , further comprising broadcasting first broadcast data after receiving the BLUETOOTH scanning enabling indication, wherein the first broadcast data carries collaboration information of the first device.

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein the collaboration information indicates a response device of the sound signal, and wherein the collaboration information comprises at least one of a device type, a latest BLUETOOTH wakeup moment, a latest BLUETOOTH response moment, or a sound intensity of the sound signal.

7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising further receiving the BLUETOOTH scanning enabling indication after the first application collects the sound signal and when recognizing that the sound signal is a wakeup word of the first device.

8. The method of claim 6 , further comprising further receiving the BLUETOOTH scanning enabling indication after the first application collects the sound signal and before obtaining a voice recognition result.

9. The method of claim 5 , wherein the collaboration information meets a preset response rule, and wherein the method further comprises:
recognizing that the sound signal is not a wakeup word of the first device; and
broadcasting, in response to recognizing that the sound signal is not the wakeup word, third broadcast data indicating that the sound signal is not the wakeup word.

10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
detecting that a BLUETOOTH option in the first device is turned on; and
configuring, in response to detecting that the BLUETOOTH option in the first device is turned on, a first filter and a first scanning parameter for the first application.

11. An electronic device comprising:
a memory configured to store instructions; and
a processor coupled to the memory, wherein the instructions cause the processor to be configured to:
when receiving a BLUETOOTH scanning enabling indication of a first application on the electronic device:
receive, from a second device, second broadcast data;
send, to the second device, a scanning request; and
receive, from the second device and in response to the scanning request, a scanning response; and

in response to identifying the second broadcast data is a data packet of a first type:
report the second broadcast data to the first application on the electronic device; and
discard the scanning response without reporting the scanning response to the first application.

12. The electronic device of claim 11 , wherein the instructions cause the processor to be configured to:
identify that the second broadcast data is not the data packet;
combine, in response to identifying that the second broadcast data is not the data packet, the second broadcast data with the scanning response to obtain combined data; and
report the combined data to the first application.

13. The electronic device of claim 11 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to be configured to further receive the BLUETOOTH scanning enabling indication after the first application collects a sound signal and when the first application is a voice assistant application.

14. The electronic device of claim 13 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to be configured to broadcast first broadcast data after receiving the BLUETOOTH scanning enabling indication, wherein the first broadcast data carries collaboration information of the electronic device.

15. The electronic device of claim 14 , wherein the collaboration information meets a preset response rule, and wherein the instructions further cause the processor to be configured to:
recognize that the sound signal is not a wakeup word of the electronic device; and
broadcast, in response to recognizing that the sound signal is not the wakeup word, third broadcast data indicating that the sound signal is not the wakeup word.

16. The electronic device of claim 13 , wherein the second broadcast data carries collaboration information of the second device when the second broadcast data is the data packet.

17. The electronic device of claim 16 , wherein the collaboration information determines indicates a response device of the sound signal, and wherein the collaboration information comprises at least one of a device type, a latest BLUETOOTH wakeup moment, a latest BLUETOOTH response moment, or a sound intensity of the sound signal.

18. The electronic device of claim 17 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to be configured to further receive the BLUETOOTH scanning enabling indication after the first application collects the sound signal and when recognizing that the sound signal is a wakeup word of the electronic device.

19. The electronic device of claim 17 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to be configured to further receive the BLUETOOTH scanning enabling indication after the first application collects the sound signal and before obtaining a voice recognition result.

20. A computer program product comprising computer-executable instructions that are stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium and that, when executed by a processor, cause an electronic device to:
when receiving a BLUETOOTH scanning enabling indication of a first application on the electronic device:
receive, from a second device, second broadcast data;
send, to the second device, a scanning request; and
receive, from the second device and in response to the scanning request, a scanning response; and

in response to identifying the second broadcast data is a data packet of a first type:
report the second broadcast data to the first application on the electronic device; and
discard the scanning response without reporting the scanning response to the first application.
