Hi everybody:

While using the BlueZ API's we have discovered that it's difficult to 
find which kind of device (brand and model) we are talking to. We are 
writing an application that delivers an image to any device passing by, 
taking into account its screen width, height and color depth, but 
without any prior knowledge of the device.

Using WAP we have access to the HTTP headers from where you can parse 
the User Agent Profile (UAProf), but we have not found any similar 
function in Bluetooth. In fact, there is the PnPInformation Profile, but 
nowadays is supported in very few devices.

Is there any function or mechanism to retrieve the UAProf data (or 
anything similar) using the BlueZ library?

Thanks & regards,

Pedro Monjo
