Title:
SERVICE RECORD FOR AN APPLICATION RUNNING ON A WIRELESS DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2002045382
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A method and device for providing a service record for an application(e.g., a legacy application) running on a virtual serial port of a wirelesstransceiver device, such as a Bluetooth-enabled device. The virtual serial portemulates a serial connection (e.g., a serial cable) for the application. The virtualserial port for the application is opened by a virtual serial port driver. Inaccordance with the present embodiment of the present invention, the virtualserial port driver also provides the service name of the application. The virtualserial port driver can derive the service name from the name of the application, or the virtual serial port driver can use a default name. Thus, the virtual serialport driver performs the additional function of automatically providing a servicename for an application, thereby introducing a standard, efficient and user-friendly approach for providing a readily-identifiable service name for a legacyapplication.
