Abstract
A main Bluetooth circuit for use in a multi-member Bluetooth device is disclosed including: a first Bluetooth communication circuit, a first packet parsing circuit, and a first control circuit. In a period during which the auxiliary Bluetooth circuit operates at the sniffing mode, the first control circuit utilizes the first Bluetooth communication circuit to receive packets transmitted from the remote Bluetooth device. In a situation of that a throughput of packets sniffed from the remote Bluetooth device by the auxiliary Bluetooth circuit is lower than a predetermined threshold, the auxiliary Bluetooth circuit switches from the sniffing mode to the relay mode. In a period during which the auxiliary Bluetooth circuit operates at the relay mode, the first control circuit utilizes the first Bluetooth communication circuit to receive the packets transmitted from the remote Bluetooth device and to forward received packets to the auxiliary Bluetooth circuit.
