Abstract
Provided are a device searching method of a Bluetooth application and an apparatus using the same. The apparatus includes an application unit that generates a command for searching a Bluetooth device in a surrounding area of the device searching apparatus, a stack unit that performs a Bluetooth device initialization process and processes the command generated in the application unit, a first module unit that searches first Bluetooth devices in the surrounding area of the device searching apparatus, and a second module unit that searches second Bluetooth devices in the surrounding area of the device searching apparatus.
Claims8
A device search apparatus searching a Bluetooth device, comprising:
- an application unit that generates a command for searching a Bluetooth device in a surrounding area of the device searching apparatus;
- a stack unit that performs a Bluetooth device initialization process and processes the command generated in the application unit;
- a first module unit that searches a first Bluetooth device in the surrounding area of the device searching apparatus;
- and
- a second module unit that searches a second Bluetooth device in the surrounding area of the device searching apparatus.
A method of a device search apparatus for searching a Bluetooth device, comprising:
- performing initializing of a Bluetooth device of a predetermined type;
- generating an inquiry command according to an externally input device search command and broadcasting the generated inquiry command to Bluetooth devices in a surrounding area of the device search apparatus;
- checking device class factor values included in inquiry result response messages received from the surrounding Bluetooth devices;
- determining whether a Bluetooth device having transmitted the inquiry result response message is a first Bluetooth device or a second Bluetooth device based on the device class factor value;
- and
- if the Bluetooth device having transmitted the inquiry result response message is the second Bluetooth device, providing search information including information on a service type provided by the second Bluetooth device.
