Samsung patents method to merge two device connections into one

Samsung describes a system where a central device checks if two separate wireless connections to different gadgets can be combined. If compatible, it merges them into a single shared link to send data to both devices at once. It also adjusts the timing of data exchanges to fit this new shared schedule.

Why it mattersThis could help manage multiple connected devices more efficiently by reducing the number of separate communication channels a phone or hub needs to maintain.

In the filing’s own words

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a communication circuit, and at least one processor operably coupled to the communication circuit. The at least one processor may be configured to identify whether a first communication link and a second communication link can be integrated, based on first information related to a first external device coupled through the first communication link and second information related to a second external device coupled through the second communication link, establish a common communication link with the first external device and the second external device, in response to identifying that the first communication link and the second communication link can be integrated, and transmit data to the first external device and the second external device through the common communication link.

What exactly they claim (claim 1)

1. An electronic device comprising: a communication circuit; and a processor, operably coupled with the communication circuit, configured to: establish a wireless connection with an external electronic device, transmit, to the external electronic device via the wireless connection, time information for changing a time interval between an end of a transmission by the electronic device and a following transmission by the external electronic device on the wireless connection, transmit, to the external electronic device via the wireless connection, first data, and receive, from the external electronic device via the wireless connection, a response for the first data, after the changed time interval starting from an end of a transmission of the first data, wherein the time interval is changed based on the time information.
