Abstract
A master-slave detection method includes: every single time period, utilizing a random manner for determining whether a first device is used to transmit a specific pulse signal to a second device; every single time period, utilizing a random manner for determining whether the second device is used to transmit the specific pulse signal to the first device; when the first device receives at least one portion of the specific pulse signal earlier than the second device, setting the first device as a master device, stopping the master device from sending the specific pulse signal and utilizing the master device to start transmitting a specific sequence; and setting the second device as a slave device when the second device receives the specific sequence. The at least one portion of the specific pulse signal includes continuous single pulses.
