Connecting to PC from mobile using bluetooth in java-Question

Question subject: Connecting to PC from mobile using bluetooth in java

Posted: Fri Jul 25, 2008 6:43 pm
I will talk about how to make data transfer from your mobile to your PC .The mobile side will
be a j2me application.The server side is J2se application .To make such communication using
bluetooth you need to open a virtual COM in your pc and assign this virtual COM to your paired
mobile .Paired devices means an same PIN Code entered in both sides (mobile and PC ) .In my
case i worked on bluecove external adapter .There is an application for bluecove device that
allow me to assign COMs to a specific mobile.In my system i was sending images from my
phone to PC server using bluetooth.
In server side :
You will need some packages to make the work done .in my case i used two packages bluecove2.0.2.jar and avetanaObex.jar .
Here is code from it
java code
?

* This example application is a straighforward implementation of
32
* a bluetooth server.
*
33
*
34
* Usage
35
* =====
36
*
37
* Start the program. Events are logged by printing them out with
standard
38
* output stream. Once the server is up and ready to accept
39
connections,
40
* connect to server with client.
41
*
*
42
* How it Works
43
* ============
44
*
45
* The application starts a loop to wait for a new connection. After a
46 new
* connection is reseived the connection is handled. In the handling
47
* operation few tokens and end token is written to connection stream.
48
* Each read token is logged to standard output. After handling session
49
* the loop continues by waiting for a new connection.

/** ================
* Bluetooth Client
* ================
*
* This example application is a straightforward implementation of
* making a connection throught bluetooth link and using it.
*
*
* Usage
* =====
*
* Once the system is started the information area is filled with
logging
* information. Wait until combo box is enabled (if there's any
bluetooth
* device around) and select a device from the combo box. A connection
* is constructed to selected device after selection.
*
* After connection is constructed succesfully the application
* operates as an echo client, i.e., everything that is read is
written
* back to the server. All information is also written into the
information
* area.
*
*
* How it Works
* ============
*
* The example consist of three different operations. Operations need
to
* be executed in the dependency order.
*
* 1) *Inquiry method* is used to search all available devices. The
combo
*
box's data model is filled with found bluetooth devices.
*
* 2) *Service search* is used to search serial port profile service
from the
*
selected device. The search is started after the user selects
the

*
device from the combo box.
62
*
63
* 3) *Stream handling* communicates with the server through the
64 bluetooth
65
*
link. This example operates in echo loop until stop token is
66 found.
*
67
*
68
* Special Debug Mode
69
* ==================
70
*
* There's a special debug mode which speeds up development by
71
skipping
the
72
* inquiry method to resolve the remote device. In the debug mode the
73 device's
74
* bluetooth address is provided by the developer.

Hi msi_333, your Post is great! Very useful
But I cannot understand some things ...
I.E. :
What is the meaning of MOBILEOR_GUI ?
Quote:
MOBILEOR_GUI frame;
And what about this?
Quote:
new FrameImage(aa, 1);

SIFT sift = new SIFT(path, "scale2.jpg", "welcome");

I don't know where are these Classes (MOBILEOR_GUI, FrameImage, SIFT)

Sorry for my poor English
If you can send me the complete code of the Server I'll be grateful (eliasturbay@gmail.com)
Thanks in advance

Hi ,thank you for your reply
these lines of codes not related to the connection of bluetooth , it is related to my project
function , for example , SIFT is an object recognition algorithm .

hi msi_333 ,
Nice post !
I am facing an small problem with a similar code for just text transfer ,
I have a bluesoliel stack and bluecove library .
when i run the application the device gets discovered fromthe client and stack gets initialized
and the window pops up asking for permission to open up virtual com ports but the application
still ends in a loop waiting for connection , when i use hyperterminal instead of the app i get
read n write back in the client .
init:
deps-jar:
compile:
BlueCove version 2.0.2 on bluesoleil
Create server by uri: btspp://localhost:000011010000100080000 ... ServerCOMM
Waiting for connection...
wat could be the problem please help me out!
