Abstract

A wireless communication system includes a number of peripheral devices, a wireless communication device, and a terminal. The wireless communication device includes a first communication module and a second communication module. The second communication module includes a host unit and a device unit. The host unit is used to be wirelessly connected to the peripheral devices. The terminal supports the first communication protocol is used to connect to the first communication module, and the terminal supports the second communication protocol is used to connect to the second communication module via the device unit thereof. A method using the wireless communication system is also provided.

Claims

1. A wireless communication method, the wireless communication method using a wireless communication system comprising a plurality of peripheral devices, the peripheral devices being configured for providing assistant service;

a wireless communication device including a first communication module based on a first communication protocol; and

a second communication module based on a second communication protocol, the second communication module including a host unit and a device unit, the host unit being configured for wirelessly connecting to the peripheral devices; and

a terminal based on a first communication protocol or a second communication protocol differing from the first communication protocol, wherein the terminal based on the first communication protocol is configured for connecting to the first communication module, and the terminal based on the second communication protocol is configured for connecting to the second communication module via the device unit thereof, the method comprising;

turning on the wireless communication device, so that the first communication module and the second communication module are in a monitoring state;

the terminal establishing a connection with the first communication module via the first communication protocol, or establishing a connection with the device unit of the second communication module via the second communication protocol;

any of the connected first communication module or the connected second communication module sending an instruction to the other communication module that is not connected;

the first communication module or the device unit of the second communication module that is not connected responding to the instruction and switching to the closed state;

the peripheral device establishing a connection with the host unit of the second communication module via the second communication protocol.

2. The wireless communication method of claim 1, further comprising:

adding a virtual connection relationship between the peripheral devices and the terminal to an interface of the terminal.

3. The wireless communication method of claim 1, further comprising:

resetting a working state of the wireless communication device when a heartbeat signal from the terminal to the wireless communication device is interrupted.

4. A wireless communication method, the wireless communication method using a wireless communication system comprising a plurality of peripheral devices, the peripheral devices being configured for providing assistant service;

a wireless communication device including a first communication module based on a first communication protocol; and

a second communication module based on a second communication protocol, the second communication module including a host unit and a device unit, the host unit being configured for wirelessly connecting to the peripheral devices; and

a terminal based on a first communication protocol or a second communication protocol differing from the first communication protocol, wherein the terminal based on the first communication protocol is configured for connecting to the first communication module, and the terminal based on the second communication protocol is configured for connecting to the second communication module via the device unit thereof, the method comprising;

turning on the wireless communication device, so that the first communication module and the second communication module are in a monitoring state;

the terminal establishing a connection with the first communication module via the first communication protocol, or establishing a connection with the device unit of the second communication module via the second communication protocol;

any of the connected first communication module or the connected second communication module sending an instruction to the other communication module that is not connected;

the first communication module or the device unit of the second communication module that is not connected responding to the instruction and switching to the closed state; and

resetting a working state of the wireless communication device when a heartbeat signal from the terminal to the wireless communication device is interrupted.
