[Bluez-devel] bluetooth remote control

[Brad Midgley]

Hey

I've looked at what is out there for using a phone as a remote.

Virtually everything requires a Sony/Ericsson. Are the Ericssons using 
some kind of standardized protocol for remote control that no one else 
has implemented or is it a proprietary thing?

If it's well-documented, the extensible phones (symbian/java) should be 
able to load an app to use it (or maybe it's been done)

starting with the K700i you can use HID for the remote. For the older
ones you need a special AT command set. There are some implementation
around, but non official that I included in BlueZ.

Guys,

I was thinking we needed a daemon that could talk to a "lot" of the 
remote-control capable devices out there. There are so many protocols:

  - avrcp (newer headsets)
  - ericsson (AT commands)
  - bemused (symbian app, java app)
  - hid (newer ericssons)

I was thinking we would need avrcp eventually for good headset support. 
Maybe the way to go is to add it to a receiver that can do one of these 
other protocols to give it broader coverage. HID could probably be 
dropped off the list of requirements as long as the older ericsson 
protocol is available on those devices.

How about http://bemused.sf.net?
It was a Series60 client and a MS Windows server in the beginning, but in the 
meantime there are also servers for Linux - one is a command line tool, the 
other is part of kdebluetooth. On the client side there are additional 
clients for at least PalmOS and J2ME.
