[Bluez-users] Sony DSC-FX77 and BIP

[Bluez-users] Sony DSC-FX77 and BIP

[Tom Bailly-Salins]

I would like to ask two questions:

 - Does the BlueZ bluetooth library implement BIP (Basic Imaging Profile) ?

 - Does anyone know of a frontend software on Linux that would allow me 
to operate a Sony DSC-FX77 bluetooth camera using BIP.

Thanks a million

try the OBEX Push Daemon (http://oss.bdit.de/opd.html). The FX77 has no
full BIP support. You can push or receive images and use the remote
camera feature, but you can't retrieve any thumbnail or image from it
using the PC and tools like gPhoto etc.

Marcel

read the BIP profile specification and read my mail again ;)

No.

You must use BlueZ and OpenOBEX.

you will find it at www.bluetooth.org

Hello Marcel

After reading the BIP Specs V1.0, it seems that I need to implement the 
following functions from the remote camera feature.
 - GetMonitoringImage
 - GetImage

My goal is just to be able to:
 - connect to DSC-FX77                                    (I suppose I 
can do it with BlueZ ?)
 - view thumbnail sized monitoring images         (GetMonitoringImage + 
StoreFlag = 0x00)
 - trigger the image capture on the DSC-FX77   (GetMonitoringImage + 
StoreFlag = 0x01)
 - retrieve the full size image from the camera     (GetImage with the 
correct image Handle)
 - disconnect from the camera.                             (I also 
suppose I can do it with BlueZ ?)

The way I understand it:
 - The 2 functions (GetMonitoringImage and GetImage) make use of OBEX 
headers, this is where openOBEX comes in, right ?
 - If I send those commands to the DSC-FX77 camera acting as an imaging 
responder, will it understand them, and send back the right data ?

Am I making any sense and am I in the right direction ?
If so, do you know where can I find sample code that makes use of 
openOBEX and BlueZ to start experimenting.

Thank you

TOM

the feature bits of the SDP record shows you what function do the FX77
really support.

As I said above, check the feature bits first. But you are right, you
must use OpenOBEX and the native operations are put, get and setpath.
The rest is XML related stuff.

Check the opd and the obex repository in the BlueZ CVS.
