4.5 BLUETOOTH APPLICATIONS
4.5.1 Overview
Some built-in Bluetooth applications provide full functionality for a specific task, such as
locating other Bluetooth devices or synchronizing two Personal Information Managers.
Other built-in Bluetooth applications provide a way for standard Windows applications to
accomplish their tasks wirelessly. For example, a Bluetooth application may create a
wireless serial connection between computers or provide wireless access to the Internet.
The difference between Bluetooth Applications and Bluetooth Services
Bluetooth Applications are software programs on this computer that allow this
computer to use the Bluetooth services that are provided by other devices. In the
Bluetooth configuration panel, these programs are referred to collectively as
“Client Applications.”
Bluetooth Services are software programs on this computer that provide a
service to other devices. In the Bluetooth configuration panel, these applications
are referred to collectively as “Local Services.”
NOTE: The Bluetooth Exchange Folder is shared by the PIM Item Transfer and the File
Transfer services and can be configured from the Properties page of either of
those services. When the Bluetooth Exchange Folder is re-configured for either of
these services, the other service will be updated to use the new location.
BTW User’s Guide
Nope: Client Applications and Local Services usually have coinciding names; e.g.,
there may be a Fax service and a Fax application.
