Abstract
A device, system and method for data transfer. Embodiments of the present invention may include receiving a Bluetooth Device Address; receiving an identifier token corresponding to the Bluetooth Device Address; and initiating a data transfer using the identifier token. The identifier token may be an IP address. The data transfer may be an IP-based data transfer. The data transfer may also be a wireless data transfer or a wired data transfer. The data transfer may also be a peer-to-peer data transfer. The method may further comprise initiating a Bluetooth inquiry.
Claims57
A method for data transfer comprising:
- performing a Bluetooth inquiry;
- receiving an identifier token corresponding to a Bluetooth Device Address in response to the inquiry;
- and
- initiating a data transfer using the identifier token.
A device for transferring data comprising:
- a storage unit for storing data;
- and
- a processor communicatively coupled to the storage unit, the processor configured to:
- perform a Bluetooth inquiry;
- receive an identifier token corresponding to a Bluetooth Device Address in response to the inquiry;
- and
- initiate a data transfer using the identifier token.
A system for data transfer comprising:
- a client device for initiating a Bluetooth inquiry;
- a first server for providing networking services, the first server configured to map a Bluetooth Device Address to an identifier token;
- and
- a second server communicatively coupled to the client device and the first server, the second server configured to respond to a Bluetooth inquiry,
- wherein the client device is configured to search for devices using Bluetooth and to transfer data to the devices using a networking protocol.
A computer program product comprising a computer useable medium having computer program logic recorded thereon for enabling a processor to transfer data, the computer program logic comprising:
- a performing procedure enabling the processor to perform a Bluetooth inquiry;
- a receiving procedure enabling the processor to receive an identifier token corresponding to a Bluetooth Device Address in response to the inquiry;
- and
- an initiating procedure enabling the processor to initiate a data transfer using the identifier token.
A device for data transfer comprising:
- means for performing a Bluetooth inquiry;
- means for receiving an identifier token corresponding to a Bluetooth Device Address in response to the inquiry;
- and
- means for initiating a data transfer using the identifier token.
A method for data transfer comprising:
- receiving an identifier token from a first device;
- receiving a Bluetooth Device Address for the first device;
- mapping the Bluetooth Device Address to the identifier token;
- and
- transferring the identifier token to a second device subsequent to a Bluetooth inquiry by the second device.
A device for transferring data comprising:
- a storage unit for storing data;
- and
- a processor communicatively coupled to the storage unit, the processor configured to:
- receive an identifier token from a first device;
- receive a Bluetooth Device Address for the first device;
- map the Bluetooth Device Address to the identifier token;
- and
- transfer the identifier token to a second device subsequent to a Bluetooth inquiry by the second device.
A computer program product comprising a computer useable medium having computer program logic recorded thereon for enabling a processor to transfer data, the computer program logic comprising:
- a first receiving procedure enabling the processor to receive an identifier token from a first device
- a second receiving procedure enabling the processor to receive a Bluetooth Device Address for the first device;
- a mapping procedure enabling the processor to map the Bluetooth Device Address to the identifier token;
- and
- a transferring procedure enabling the processor to transfer the identifier token to a second device subsequent to a Bluetooth inquiry by the second device.
