Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a method, a device, and a computer program for controlling and managing a state of a peripheral device in a wireless communication system, and a recording medium therefor. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a method for changing an audio stream session-related state may include the steps of: acquiring information relating to a current audio stream session-related state of a second device before a first device in a first audio stream session-related state performs transition of an audio stream session-related state; determining a second audio stream session-related state of the first device at least on the basis of the current audio stream session-related state of the second device; and performing the transition of the audio stream session-related state by the first device on the basis of the second audio stream session-related state.

Claims (33)

1. A method for changing an audio stream session-related state, the method comprising:

receiving, by a server in a source device from a client in a sink device, an initiating message based on a current audio stream session-related state of the client in the sink device before the server in the source device in a first audio stream session-related state performs an audio stream session-related state transition;

determining, by the server in the source device, a second audio stream session-related state of the server in the source device based on the initiating message, without stopping an operation in the first audio stream session-related state; and

performing, by the server in the source device, the audio stream session-related state transition based on the second audio stream session-related state,

wherein an audio stream session-related state is maintained by the server in the source device and is shared with the client in the sink device using at least one characteristic.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the audio stream session-related state transition of the server in the source device is initiated by the initiating message from the client in the sink device, and

the initiating message is a write message for the at least one characteristic.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein:

the second audio stream session-related state is determined based at least on one of the first audio stream session-related state of the server in the source device, information included in the initiating message, or an audio processing condition of the server in the source device.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the audio stream session-related state includes at least one of idle, codec configured, quality of service (QoS) configured, enabling, streaming, disabling, or releasing, and

the audio stream session-related state is determined in relation to an audio processing condition.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the source device and the sink device include a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) protocol stack.

6. A source device for changing an audio stream session-related state, the s comprising:

a transceiver configured to perform signal transmission and reception with a sink device; and

a processor configured to control the transceiver and the source device;

wherein the processor is configured to:

receive, by a server in the source device from a client in the sink device, an initiating message based on a current audio stream session-related state of the client in the sink device before the server in the source device in a first audio stream session-related state performs an audio stream session-related state transition;

determine, by the server in the source device, a second audio stream session-related state of the server in the source device based on the initiating message, without stopping an operation in the first audio stream session-related state; and

cause the server in the source device to perform the audio stream session-related state transition based on the second audio stream session-related state,

wherein an audio stream session-related state is maintained by the server in the source device and is shared with the client in the sink device using at least one characteristic.

7. The source device of claim 6 , wherein:

the audio stream session-related state transition of the server in the source device is initiated by the initiating message from the client in the sink device, and

the initiating message is a write message for the at least one characteristic.

8. The source device of claim 7 ,

the second audio stream session-related state is determined based at least on one of the first audio stream session-related state of the server in the source device, information included in the initiating message, or an audio processing condition of the server in the device.

9. The source device of claim 6 ,

the audio stream session-related state includes at least one of idle, codec configured, quality of service (QoS) configured, enabling, streaming, disabling, or releasing, and

the audio stream session-related state is determined in relation to an audio processing condition.

10. The source device of claim 6 ,

the source device and the sink device include a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) protocol stack.
