Implementation

The working model for this project comprises of “Ericssons Bluetooth Application and Training Tool Kit” , A Computer with USB Port and Bluetooth Enabled “Ericsson T39m” Mobile Phone. The core programming will be on VC⁺⁺ & Attention Commands ( AT ) for SMS.

Today’s mobile phones consist of a number of different  messaging applications ranging from Short Message Service (SMS)  to MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service). The SMS service, which allows the  user to send short text messages, is the most popular  service today but there are some limitations like limited screen size, difficulties in keying in the message, Unsynchronisation with other devices & no archiving facility. SMS is becoming as a killer application in messaging services like Foreign Exchange Inquiry, Stock Exchange Alerts, Street Guide, Sports News, Weather Forecast etc. There is very interesting challenge for Mobile Phone Manufacturers and Mobile operators to turn this into a user-friendly application.

             Migrating this SMS application into other devices will eliminate its limitations by a great extent. As Bluetooth wireless technology is an international, open standard for allowing  intelligent devices to communicate with each other through wireless, short-range  communications, it could be used for the above effectively and efficiently.

             The goal of this project is to develop SMS Plug in application in PC ( The PC is Bluetooth enabled by Ericsson BT Tool Kit) and communicating with the Mobile Phone (Bluetooth enabled -  Ericsson T39m ) using Bluetooth and demonstrate it.
