  • Patent number: 11709651
    Abstract: A Bluetooth audio broadcasting system includes: an audio broadcasting device, a first Bluetooth member device, and a second Bluetooth member device. The audio broadcasting device broadcasts BLE audio packets. After the first Bluetooth member device issues a volume adjusting request, the audio broadcasting device transmits a volume adjusting instruction to the first Bluetooth member device and the second Bluetooth member device. The first Bluetooth member device acquires a predetermined audio data from the BLE audio packets, controls a first audio playback circuit to playback the predetermined audio data, and adjusts an audio volume of the first audio playback circuit according to the volume adjusting instruction. The second Bluetooth member device acquires the predetermined audio data from the BLE audio packets, controls a second audio playback circuit to playback the predetermined audio data, and adjusts an audio volume of the second audio playback circuit according to the volume adjusting instruction.

  • Patent number: 11570081
    Abstract: A multi-member Bluetooth device for communicating data with a remote Bluetooth device is disclosed including: a main Bluetooth circuit and an auxiliary Bluetooth circuit. In the period during which the auxiliary Bluetooth circuit operates at a sniffing mode, the auxiliary Bluetooth circuit sniffs packets transmitted from the remote Bluetooth device while the main Bluetooth circuit receives packets issued from the remote Bluetooth device, and the auxiliary Bluetooth circuit switches from the sniffing mode to a relay mode if the throughput of packets sniffed by the auxiliary Bluetooth circuit is lower than a predetermined threshold. In the period during which the auxiliary Bluetooth circuit operates at the relay mode, the main Bluetooth circuit receives packets transmitted from the remote Bluetooth device and forwards the received packets to the auxiliary Bluetooth circuit, and the auxiliary Bluetooth circuit does not sniff packets issued from the remote Bluetooth device.
