October 16, 2015(c) Software Suite for a BT-device This Bluetooth device can be connected to a Data Projector or to any SVGA-compatible monitor and used for presentations. The Palm-based or Symbian UIQ-based PDA is used to transfer still images to the BT-device using Bluetooth protocol to control the presentation. PC Suite software features: Converts a PowerPoint PPT file to a series of JPEG (and/or PNG) files. Sorts JPEG (PNG) files correctly (In the alphabetical order). Shows preview. Transfers files to PDA in a desired directory. Supports HotSync and Bluetooth connectivity. Generates and transfers a picture preview to PDA in a specified format. Compatible to Windows 98, ME, NT4, 2000 and Windows XP OS as well as to Windows Office 2000 and Office XP. Help system.
October 16, 2015(c) Handheld software features: Compatible to a Palm PDA based on the Palm OS v4.x and Palm OS v5.0 with external Palm Bluetooth SDIO Card or an embedded Bluetooth module and Symbian UIQ-based PDA. Connects via Bluetooth to a selected specific BT-device. Supports device-specific communication protocol over the RFCOMM Bluetooth profile. Optional preview for pictures in the JPEG and PNG formats. Next, previous, jump to first, jump to last, and jump to selected pictures. Shows slide titles on the screen. Changes the device “Bluetooth name”. Supports Download/Upload/Delete slidesets and pictures from/to the device internal non-volatile flash memory. Switch ON/OFF device Autorun mode for all the pictures and for a selected slideset at a specified time delay between slides. Assigns setting for the standalone mode presentation. Supports Screen Capture modes – single shots and continuous. Also different settings should be available – picture quality, zoom, rotate and output graphical format. Supports upload of firmware updates to the device. Software Suite for a BT-device
October 16, 2015(c) Using the Presentation Software Suite The steps are as follows: The user selects a PowerPoint file with the PC Suite on his/her computer. The PowerPoint file expands to a series of files and are then transferred to the PDA over the HotSync or Bluetooth Connection. Individual slides are transferred to the specific device with the software on his/her PDA. Slides are shown on an external screen. Programming languages: C, C++ Platform: Palm 4.x, 5.x, Symbian 7 UIQ, PocketPC,MS Windows Software Suite for a BT-device
October 16, 2015(c) Pocket PC client for RFID-Bluetooth-scanner ITC’s development team has created a Pocket PC client for RFID-Bluetooth-scanner. Core of the project: A simple instruction is sent from Pocket PC to RFID-scanner, which is used by Australian farmers at livestock auctions for reading RFID-cattle ear tags. As a response the user receives a list of RFIDs. Formerly the farmers could connect to Bluetooth RFID-scanner using Laptop and standard communications (RS-232) using client software. Now the connection is possible using Pocket PC. Technical characteristics: Windows Mobile 2002, 2003 BT stack
October 16, 2015(c) Platform For Independent Mobile Wireless Networks
General Information First steps and technical research: Started R&D in early 2003 Business idea: wireless matchmaking system Bluetooth protocol, networks, architecture Architectural prototype based on Bluetooth Market research Project substance: To combine diverse mobile devices like PDAs, cellular phones, smartphones, communicators, laptops into an integrated network for information exchange based on wireless radio technologies.
BuZZone Platform General network characteristics: Spontaneous wireless community of mobile devices Local proximity (up to 100 m) Independence from access points / routers / service providers Community varies in space joining new devices who enter the coverage area and losing those who quit it Support for different mobile platforms
Architecture Application Scenario 1Application Scenario 2BuZZone Platform: mobile wireless networkBluetooth / WI-FI Wireless Link Radio communication standards Transport layer Application scenarios
BuZZone Platform Key features: Regular search for devices located nearby; scanning for available services Overcoming restrictions on a number of simultaneous connections in Bluetooth piconet Message routing through intermediate devices thereby extending Bluetooth coverage area Integrated GSM speech codec (13kbit/s) allowing 2-way real voice channel over Bluetooth
Application Scenarios Search for business contacts by matching profiles at trade shows and business events Matchmaking system: search for interesting people located nearby by preset criteria Social aspects: You can find interesting people located near you, that match your profile and search criteria You can use BuZZone to initiate anonymous communication
Application Scenarios Free phone communication over short distances Broadcasting and receiving advertisement and special offers Implementing arbitrary application scenarios over BuZZone Platform Event communication system: exchanging business cards, files, text and voice messages Instant wireless forums and conferences Multiplayer wireless games
Implemented Functionality Functionality: Regular search for contacts by matching profiles Exchanging text and voice messages Speaking in phone mode for free Participating in forums extending the Bluetooth coverage area Technical specifications: Platforms: MS Pocket PC, MS Windows Devices: PDAs, laptops WIDCOMM Bluetooth stack
Current and Planned R&D Tasks Current R&D to support: Symbian OS with native Bluetooth API J2ME with JSR-82 Bluetooth API implementation Planned R&D to support: Palm OS with native Bluetooth API Microsoft Smartphone with native Bluetooth API Wider range of Bluetooth stacks b (Wi-Fi) wireless standard on mobile devices
Platform Evolution Ways to improve BuZZone platform: Implement the BuZZone Platform based on the Bluetooth scatternet architecture with continuous wireless links Logical addresses Wireless network auto-configuration Package routing within the whole network Search devices and exchange information through intermediate devices Phone mode over multiple links through intermediate devices Multiplexing: support for several application services to function over the same wireless network
The BuZZone SDK library The BuZZone SDK library simplifies the development of Bluetooth- applications, whilst having a much lower price than that of its competitors (Widcomm SDK) and at the same time expands the possibilities of Bluetooth technology.
