Bluetooth Profiles across manufacturer and service provider

by smgfl - 2/22/08 10:36 AM

We are a property managment company and our employees(500+) need to take pictures via their camera phones. Then via bluetooth share them with other employees, send to our bluetooth printer and send to our bluetooth enabled server.

We need a list of bluetooth enabled phones and their specific bluetooth profiles across all manufacturers and service provider so that we can recommend a list to our employees.

I have contacted the manufacturers and service providers and it has been impossible to get this information from them.

Please make any recommendations, I would appreciate it.

Thanks

The question would confuse most.

Drop the word "profile" and ask simpler questions.

1. Does your phone allow me to print via bluetooth?

(most phones will fail on that one so you end the call fast.)

2. Does your phone send JPEG pictures to another bluetooth phone?

"our bluetooth enabled server." is not technical enough. You may have to publish the "spec" it supports and how to test if the phone works with that.

In closing we just went with the Treo...

I disagree. It isn't up to the phone to have the ability to print, but only if the phone has the ability to send a picture to another device.

If that other device has the ability to print a photo received via Bluetooth, then that is all that is needed.

Just a couple days ago I went into a local electronics chain and they had an HP printer (HP C8180) already powered up. Without ever reading the instruction manual I made that printer receive a photo from my phone (Blackberry Pearl) and print it.

So, in summation, don't worry about a phone's Bluetooth print capability, just see if it can send a file or photo via Bluetooth.

A spec is still needed.

I will admit I author a bluetooth application on the PalmOS. I've seen the glaze form on support staff's eyes over profiles. When I stopped asking about profile support I made progress. This is why I suggested this.

Hope this explains why I noted this.

This may be the list you have been looking for...

This is the most comprehensive list I can find...for clues to the profiles definition, you can look them up in Wikipedia.org

Headset Device Side Implementation in WinCE

by shinojkn - 6/5/08 11:47 PM In reply to: Bluetooth Profiles across manufacturer and service provider by smgfl

Hi All,
I am trying to create a winCE based HS/HF device (Here the WincE will act as the HS/DF device side

not AG side). I have done the connection establishment from the HS side to some mobile ,After the connection

establishment I can able to recieve the Ring and also able to attend the call. But I am not able to route

the audio. Whether the Mobile will route the audio to the headset?. Whether I need to do any operation to

enable the audio in the headset. In which layer I ll be recieving the voice data. How I can take this data

and direct to the speaker. same for the mic also. Please give some Idea for this as early as possible.
Thanks&Regards,
Shinoj
