Bluetooth TDI and winsock interface

A system for providing Bluetooth communications functionality comprising:

• a Winsock module operating on a computing device;
• a Winsock application interface of the Winsock module;
• a Bluetooth driver coupling providing access to a Bluetooth protocol and a plurality of Bluetooth protocol functions;
• a translation layer operable to translate Winsock requests received at the Winsock application interface into a format configured for the plurality of Bluetooth protocol functions and to forward the translated Winsock requests to one or more of the plurality of Bluetooth protocol functions via the Bluetooth driver coupling, wherein the Bluetooth protocol and the plurality of Bluetooth protocol functions are accessed through the translation layer via the Winsock application interface using the Winsock requests;
• and
• a function configured for accepting data from the Winsock application interface and for interfacing with the Bluetooth driver coupling to access one or more of the plurality of Bluetooth protocol functions based on the data.
