Control cellphone camera via Bluetooth
Question
I'd like to be able to control the Photo and Video camera functions of a Nokia N73 cellphone remotely using Bluetooth, in C#.
I've seen the 32feet.NET Bluetooth Library but really I've no idea what to do with it. Any existing Bluetooth profile that is specifically designed to control camera-functions?
Solution
Yes, there is a Basic Imaging Profile (BIP), of which a subset Remote Camera function allows the initiator (PC) to remotely use a digital camera (on the Cellphone)
Also, the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack for Windows has a:
- "Remote Camera" tool for Bluetooth Cameras with "RemCam"-profile support, which is a (not mandatory) sub-profile of the BIP-profile.
OTHER TIPS
If I am not mistaken, most of the mobiles in the market does not support "Remote camera" functionality of the BIP profile. They just use BIP to send and receieve images.
