2.5.5. Communication Procedures

The following are the basic procedures for using Bluetooth to communicate.

Initializing Bluetooth

This function initializes the Bluetooth using either the Bluetooth tool or the Common Device

Control Library. It will turn ON the power to the Bluetooth module integrated in the terminal and

initialize the Bluetooth protocol stack.

1. Searching a Bluetooth equipment

Searches a Bluetooth equipment using the Bluetooth tool or the Common Device Control

Library. This sends out an equipment search radio wave and captures information from

Bluetooth equipment operable in the vicinity.

2. Capturing service information

Captures service information using either the Bluetooth tool or the Common Device Control

Library. This captures the current usable service (profile) information of the partner Bluetooth

equipment.

3. Security authentication with PassKey exchange

The partner Bluetooth equipment may request a PassKey at a time of capturing service

information and establishing Bluetooth connection. In case the Bluetooth tool is used, the

same PassKey is input for both Bluetooth equipments (the terminal and the partner Bluetooth

equipment) when a dialogue window appears requesting PassKey input. In case the Common

Device Control Library is used, the PassKey must be set in advance by executing the relative

functions for setting PassKey.

4. Establishing the connection

Establishes a Bluetooth connection using either the Bluetooth tool or the Common Device

Control Library. After the connection has been established, communication in Bluetooth can

be continued using the selected profile until the connection is terminated.

5. Terminating the connection

Terminates the connection using either the Bluetooth tool or the Common Device Control

Library.

6. Closing the Bluetooth

Closes the communication via Bluetooth either by ending use of the Bluetooth tool or by

executing relative functions of the Common Device Control Library for closing the

communication, and then turns off the power to the integrated Bluetooth module.
