Profile of Bluetooth!

To use Bluetooth wireless technology, a device must be able to interpret certain Bluetooth profiles, which are definitions of possible applications and specify general behaviors that Bluetooth enabled devices use to communicate with other Bluetooth devices. There are a wide range of Bluetooth profiles that describe many different types of applications or use cases for devices.


The Number of Applications we will use through Bluetooth:

  1. Wireless control of and communication between a mobile phone and a hands-free headset. This was one of the earliest applications to become popular.
  2. Wireless networking between PCs in a confined space and where little bandwidth is required.
  3. Wireless communication with PC input and output devices, the most common being the mouse, keyboard and printer.
  4. Transfer of files, contact details, calendar appointments, and reminders between devices with OBEX.
  5. Replacement of traditional wired serial communications in test equipment, GPS receivers, medical equipment, bar code scanners, and traffic control devices.
  6. For controls where infrared was traditionally used.
  7. For low bandwidth applications where higher USB bandwidth is not required and cable-free connection desired.
  8. Sending small advertisements from Bluetooth-enabled advertising hoardings to other, discoverable, Bluetooth devices.
  9. Wireless bridge between two Industrial Ethernet (e.g., PROFINET) networks.
  10. Three seventh-generation game consoles, Nintendo's Wii and Sony's PlayStation 3 and PSP Go, use Bluetooth for their respective wireless controllers.
  11. Dial-up internet access on personal computers or PDAs using a data-capable mobile phone as a wireless modem like Novatel mifi.
  12. Short range transmission of health sensor data from medical devices to mobile phone, set-top box or dedicated telehealth devices.
