Abstract

A pairing connection method for devices utilizes frequency to transmit information from a source device to a target device. Firstly, the frequency range of a transmitted acoustic signal is defined. The source device then divides the acoustic signal into a plurality of spectrum sections based on the length of the information, and the information per unit length is placed in the corresponding spectrum section, and a speaker is used to send out the transmitted acoustic signal. After the target device receives the transmitted acoustic signal, the target device retrieves the information from transmission frequency of the spectrum sections and establishes a connection with the source device.

Claims

1. A pairing connection method for devices, which utilizes frequency to transmit information from a source device to a target device, and said pairing connection method for devices comprising steps of:

defining a frequency range of a transmitted acoustic signal;

said source device dividing said frequency range of said transmitted acoustic signal into a plurality of spectrum sections based on a length of said information, and each said spectrum section is divided into a plurality of transmission frequencies, and said information per unit length is placed in corresponding said spectrum section;

said source device using a speaker to send out said transmitted acoustic signal;

said target device receiving said transmitted acoustic signal to retrieve said information from said transmission frequencies of said spectrum sections; and

said target device establishing a connection with said source device.

2. The pairing connection method for devices of claim 1, wherein said information comprises a media access control address (MAC Address) of said source device.

3. The pairing connection method for devices of claim 1, wherein a frequency band of said transmitted acoustic signal has an upper limit of 22 kHz.

4. The pairing connection method for devices of claim 1, wherein every frequency interval of said transmission frequencies of said spectrum section is 4 Hz.

5. The pairing connection method for devices of claim 1, wherein said information has a length unit of byte, and 256 said transmission frequencies are included in each said spectrum section.

6. The pairing connection method for devices of claim 1, wherein when said length of said information exceeds said frequency range of said transmitted acoustic signal, said information is divided into a plurality of parts, and a preamble signal is sequentially added to a front of each said part according to an order of said parts.

7. The pairing connection method for devices of claim 6, wherein said preamble signal comprises a serial number, a length of the information or encoded techniques.

8. The pairing connection method for devices of claim 1, wherein said target device samples said spectrum sections 44000 times per second to search said transmitted acoustic signal of said source device.

9. The pairing connection method for devices of claim 1, wherein said target device uses at least one microphone to receive said transmitted acoustic signal.

10. The pairing connection method for devices of claim 1, wherein said source device repeatedly transmits said transmitted acoustic signal until said target device returns a transmission success message.

11. The pairing connection method for devices of claim 1, wherein said source device repeatedly transmits said transmitted acoustic signal until exceeding a preset transmission time.

12. The pairing connection method for devices of claim 1, wherein after said target device completely receives said information, said target device returns a transmission success message to said source device.
