Abstract

A method for establishing a Bluetooth® connection, where the method includes: establishing data connections with at least two Bluetooth® devices; obtaining a voice connection instruction, where the voice connection instruction includes identification information of a target Bluetooth® device selected by a user from the Bluetooth® devices; and establishing a voice connection between the mobile terminal and the target Bluetooth® device according to the voice connection instruction; and a mobile terminal, a Bluetooth® device, and a system. A voice connection is established with a Bluetooth® device selected by a user, so as to improve an extent to which a Bluetooth® connection is established intelligently and a capability of interacting with the user. Therefore, the user can, according to needs, freely select a Bluetooth® device with which a connection is established, thereby improving convenience of the user in using the Bluetooth® device.

Claims (40)

1. A method for establishing a Bluetooth® connection, comprising:

establishing, by a mobile terminal, at least two data connections with at least two Bluetooth® devices;

upon receiving a communication event, sending, by the mobile terminal, a prompt instruction to all Bluetooth® devices with which the data connections have been established;

obtaining, by the mobile terminal, a voice connection instruction sent by a target Bluetooth® device selected by a user from the Bluetooth® devices receiving the prompt instruction; and

establishing the voice connection between the mobile terminal and the target Bluetooth® device according to the voice connection instruction.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the establishing, by the mobile terminal, at least two data connections with at least two Bluetooth® devices comprises establishing, by the mobile terminal, at least two data connections with the at least two Bluetooth® devices according to a pre-stored rule.

3. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

establishing, by the mobile terminal, at least two Asynchronous Connection-Less (ACL) connections with the at least two Bluetooth® devices;

upon receiving the communication event, sending, by the mobile terminal, the prompt instruction to all the Bluetooth® devices with which the ACL connections have been established;

obtaining, by the mobile terminal, a Synchronous Connection Oriented (SCO) connection instruction sent by the target Bluetooth® device selected by the user from the Bluetooth® devices receiving the prompt instruction; and

establishing, by the mobile terminal, the SCO connection between the mobile terminal and the target Bluetooth® device according to the SCO connection instruction.

4. A method for establishing a Bluetooth® connection, comprising:

establishing, by a mobile terminal, at least two data connections with at least two Bluetooth® devices;

upon receiving a communication event, choosing, by the mobile terminal, a plurality of the Bluetooth® devices with which the data connections have been established according to a pre-stored rule to send a prompt instruction;

obtaining, by the mobile terminal, a voice connection instruction sent by a target Bluetooth® device selected by a user from the Bluetooth® devices receiving the prompt instruction; and

establishing the voice connection between the mobile terminal and the target Bluetooth® device according to the voice connection instruction.

5. The method according to claim 4 , particularly comprising:

establishing, by the mobile terminal, at least two Asynchronous Connection-Less (ACL) connections with the at least two Bluetooth® devices;

upon receiving the communication event, choosing, by the mobile terminal, the prompt instruction to the plurality of Bluetooth® devices from the at least two Bluetooth® devices with which the ACL connections have been established according to the pre-stored rule to send the prompt instruction;

obtaining, by the mobile terminal, a Synchronous Connection Oriented (SCO) connection instruction sent by the target Bluetooth® device selected by the user from the Bluetooth® devices receiving the prompt instruction; and

establishing the SCO connection between the mobile terminal and the target Bluetooth® device according to the SCO connection instruction.

6. A Bluetooth® connection system, comprising:

a mobile terminal; and

at least two Bluetooth® devices,

wherein the mobile terminal is configured to:

establish at least two data connections with a plurality of Bluetooth® devices from the at least two Bluetooth® devices;

send a prompt instruction to all the Bluetooth® devices with which the data connections have been established upon receiving a communication event;

obtain a voice connection instruction sent by a target Bluetooth® device selected by a user from the Bluetooth® devices receiving the prompt instruction; and

establish a voice connection between the mobile terminal and the target Bluetooth® device according to the voice connection instruction,

wherein one of the Bluetooth® devices is configured to:

establish a data connection with the mobile terminal;

send the voice connection instruction according to a user input after receiving the prompt instruction from the mobile terminal; and

establish the voice connection with the mobile terminal corresponding to the voice connection instruction.

7. A mobile terminal, comprising:

a data connection unit configured to establish at least two data connections with at least two Bluetooth® devices;

a receiving unit configured to receive a communication event;

a sending unit configured to send a prompt instruction to all the Bluetooth® devices with which the data connections has been established, wherein the prompt instruction is used to instruct the Bluetooth® devices to prompt a user that the communication event is received;

an obtaining unit configured to obtain a voice connection instruction from a target Bluetooth® device selected by a user from the Bluetooth® devices received the prompt instruction; and

a voice connection unit configured to establish a voice connection between the mobile terminal and the target Bluetooth® device according to the voice connection instruction.

8. The mobile terminal according to claim 7 , wherein the obtaining unit further comprises a storage unit configured to pre-store a rule, wherein the rule comprises at least one of a contact group rule, a time rule, and a priority rule, and wherein the data connection unit is configured to establish data connections with at least two Bluetooth® devices according to the rule pre-stored by the storage unit.
