A Java Platform Based Approach for Implementing Customized Bluetooth Profiles
Subscribe/Renew Journal
Bluetooth is a low cost, short-range radio technology, originally developed as a cable replacement to connect devices such as mobile handsets, headsets and portable computers. This technology has standardized wireless communications between electronic devices. It has created the notion of a Personal Area Network (PAN) approved by IEEE as 802.15.1 standard, a kind of close range wireless network that looks set to revolutionize the way people interact with the information technology landscape around them.
Sun Microsystems developed Java2 Micro Edition (J2ME) for compatibility with mobile devices, which includes class definitions to make it possible for the programmers to design software according to the necessity, which is compatible with Bluetooth device. Connected Limited Device Configuration (CLDC) devices have slow processors and limited memory, operate on batteries, and have only intermittent network connections. To support CLDC devices J2ME also includes Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP) provides the java runtime environment. The paper presents implementation of Bluetooth file transfer profile using java. The implementation is done using J2SE and use Object Exchange (OBEX) protocol as well as Radio Frequency Communication (RFCOMM) protocol.
