Bluetooth Collection Overview

Purpose

The Bluetooth Collection contains the SDP, GAVDP and notifier support components.

Architecture

Components

The Bluetooth collection contains the following components:

• SDP

  Bluetooth Service Discovery Protocol (SDP) enables a device to find out what services are available on another device. For example, when connecting a mobile phone to a bluetooth headset, SDP can find out which Bluetooth profiles the headset supports. The SDP component enables devices to register services to the SDP database and to query the database for available services. The SDP Agent and the SDP Database provide functionality for the SDP component.

• GAVDP

  Generic Audio Video Distribution Profile (GAVDP) enables audio or video streaming.

• Bluetooth Notifiers Support

  The Bluetooth Notifiers Support component enables you to create dialogs for interacting with device users about Bluetooth interactions. You can offer Bluetooth dialogs for several purposes, but the main purpose is to provide security for Bluetooth interactions.

Using the Bluetooth collection

The Bluetooth collection has the following uses:

• using SDP to find out what services are available on another device

• Using GAVDP to enable audio or video streaming

• using the Bluetooth Notifiers Support to create dialogs for interacting with device users about Bluetooth interactions.
