A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11889573B2) outlines a group pairing method for a wireless intercommunication system. The method involves acquiring information on slave wireless intercommunication devices and generating pairing lists using a master mobile device. These lists are then sorted according to a set connection order and transmitted between devices to establish a communication group. The process includes updating existing pairing lists, transmitting information between devices, and forming a series of wireless connections to enable multipoint communication within the group.

Furthermore, the patent details various steps within the group pairing method, such as acquiring device information through methods like QR codes, Bluetooth communication, or text messages. It also specifies the sorting process for pairing lists based on the set connection order, designating devices in a specific sequence. Additionally, the method involves transmitting pairing lists between slave and master devices, ultimately forming a series of wireless connections to facilitate multipoint communication. Overall, the patent provides a structured approach to creating intercommunication groups within a wireless system, enhancing the efficiency and organization of communication processes.
