IV. DESIGN O F B LUETOOTH COMMUNICATION

In the Android platform Bluetooth API is needed to
implement the communication between the Bluetooth
devices. The Bluetooth communication is based on the
unique MAC. Bluetooth devices must been paired before

three steps:

the Bluetooth Activity. It is the entry-point for all
Bluetooth interaction and also it is used to discover
other Bluetooth devices. It creates the
BluetoothServerSocket to listen for
communications from other devices. Bluetooth
