ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR BROADCASTING ADVERTISEMENT PACKETS TOGETHER WITH COUNTERPART ELECTRONIC DEVICE, AND OPERATING METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18354977 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR BROADCASTING ADVERTISEMENT PACKETS TOGETHER WITH COUNTERPART ELECTRONIC DEVICE, AND OPERATING METHOD THEREOF
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an electronic device that communicates wirelessly with another device and broadcasts advertisement packets.
- The electronic device has a communication module, processor, and memory.
- The processor executes instructions stored in the memory.
- The device identifies a broadcast period and timing offset for advertisement packets based on device information from itself and the counterpart device.
- The first advertisement packet is broadcasted at regular intervals from a time point determined by the timing offset.
- The timing offset ensures that the first advertisement packet does not overlap with the second advertisement packet from the counterpart device.
- The reference broadcast time point is a synchronized time point between the two devices.
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a communication module which communicates with a counterpart electronic device through a wireless link, a processor, and a memory in which instructions are stored, wherein the processor is configured to, when the instructions are executed by the processor, identify, based on first device information about the electronic device and second device information from the counterpart electronic device, a first broadcast period of a first advertisement packet and a first timing offset with respect to a reference broadcast time point, and broadcast the first advertisement packet every first transmission period from a time point according to the first timing offset from the reference broadcast time point, wherein the reference broadcast time point is a reference time point synchronized between the electronic device and the counterpart electronic device, and the first timing offset prevents a first broadcast time point of the first advertisement packet from overlapping a second broadcast time point of a second advertisement packet of the counterpart electronic device.
