Abstract

Disclosed is a method for transmitting audio data in an electronic device. The electronic device can divide the audio data according to a range of a frequency band determined according to a codec applied to a communication link, and then can transmit the audio data divided in different time intervals to an external electronic device. The electronic device may preferentially transmit the audio data as the frequency band lowers, and when the transmission of audio data corresponding to the lower frequency band is successful, can transmit audio data corresponding to a higher frequency band in different time intervals.

Claims (47)

1 . An audio data transmission method performed by an electronic device, the audio data transmission method comprising:

receiving a connection request for a communication link for transmitting audio data from an external electronic device;

determining a range of a frequency band for audio data to be transmitted through the communication link with the external electronic device according to the connection request based on a sampling rate supported by a codec applied to the communication link;

transmitting a result of connection completion of the communication link to the external electronic device;

transmitting audio data of a first frequency band determined according to the range of the frequency band to the external electronic device during a first period of time through the communication link;

receiving, from the external electronic device, a result indicating the audio data of the first frequency band is normally transmitted; and

transmitting audio data of a second frequency band higher than the first frequency band to the external electronic device during a second period of time after the first period of time.

2 . The audio data transmission method of claim 1 , wherein

the range of the frequency band is determined based on the sampling rate of the codec used for encoding audio data to be transmitted through the communication link.

3 . The audio data transmission method of claim 1 , wherein

the audio data is divided according to the range of the frequency band, and a frequency number corresponding to a frequency range is assigned to each area of the divided audio data.

4 . The audio data transmission method of claim 1 , wherein

based on a total frequency band of the audio data being greater than a range of a frequency band in which audio data is transmittable in a single packet through the communication link, the frequency band of the audio data is divided according to the range of the frequency band.

5 . An audio data transmission method performed by an electronic device, the audio data transmission method comprising:

receiving a connection request for a communication link for transmitting audio data from an external electronic device;

determining a range of a frequency band for audio data to be transmitted through the communication link with the external electronic device according to the connection request based on a sampling rate supported by a codec applied to the communication link;

transmitting a result of connection completion of the communication link to the external electronic device;

transmitting audio data of a first frequency band determined according to the range of the frequency band to the external electronic device during a first period of time through the communication link;

receiving a result indicating a transmission failure of the audio data of the first frequency band from the external electronic device; and

retransmitting the audio data of the first frequency band to the external electronic device during a second period of time after the first period of time.

6 . The audio data transmission method of claim 5 , wherein

the range of the frequency band is determined based on the sampling rate supported by the codec used for encoding audio data to be transmitted through the communication link.

7 . The audio data transmission method of claim 5 , wherein

the audio data of the first frequency band is retransmitted repeatedly according to a slot unit during the second period of time until the audio data of the first frequency band is normally transmitted to the external electronic device.

8 . The audio data transmission method of claim 5 , wherein

based on the audio data of the first frequency band being normally transmitted to the external electronic device during the second period of time, audio data of a second frequency band higher than the first frequency band is transmitted during the second period of time.

9 . An audio data transmission method performed by an electronic device, the audio data transmission method comprising:

receiving a connection request for a communication link for transmitting audio data from an external electronic device;

determining a range of a frequency band for audio data to be transmitted through the communication link with the external electronic device according to the connection request based on a sampling rate supported by a codec applied to the communication link;

transmitting a result of connection completion of the communication link to the external electronic device; and

dividing the audio data into areas of different frequency bands based on a total frequency band of the audio data and the determined range of the frequency band and transmitting the divided areas to the external electronic device during different periods of time.

10 . The audio data transmission method of claim 9 , wherein

the transmitting during the different periods of time comprises transmitting an area of a lower frequency band of the divided audio data with priority to the external electronic device.

11 . The audio data transmission method of claim 10 , wherein

the transmitting during the different periods of time comprises:

based on audio data of a first frequency band being normally transmitted to the external electronic device during a first period of time, transmitting audio data of a second frequency band higher than the first frequency band during a second period of time after the first period of time; and

based on transmission of the audio data of the first frequency band to the external electronic device during the first period of time failing, retransmitting the audio data of the first frequency band during the second period of time after the first period of time.

12 . The audio data transmission method of claim 9 , wherein

the range of the frequency band is determined based on the sampling rate supported by the codec used for encoding audio data to be transmitted through the communication link.

13 . The audio data transmission method of claim 9 , wherein

the audio data is divided according to the range of the frequency band, and a frequency number corresponding to a frequency range is assigned to each area of the divided audio data.

14 . The audio data transmission method of claim 9 , wherein

based on a total frequency band of the audio data being greater than a range of a frequency band in which audio data is transmittable in a single packet through the communication link, the frequency band of the audio data is divided according to the range of the frequency band.

15 . The audio data transmission method of claim 9 , wherein

the transmitting to the external electronic device comprises:

based on transmission of audio data of a first frequency band in a first period of time of a specified interval succeeding, transmitting audio data of a second frequency band higher than the first frequency band in a second period of time after the first period of time; and

based on transmission of the audio data of the first frequency band in the first period of time of the specified interval failing, retransmitting the audio data of the first frequency band in a period of time after the first period of time until transmission of the audio data of the first frequency band succeeds.
