Sony Ericsson M600 manual IrDA, Profiles, System functions

File browsing

By using the client role of the File Transfer Profile, the phone enables the user to access file systems of other devices, that support the server role of the same profile. After pairing the phone with the other device, the user can connect to the other device by selecting it in the list of My devices under the Blue- tooth menu and selecting the Browse option that should be available on the left selection key. If the browse option does not appear the user can select the Service option to update the phone’s knowl- edge that file browsing is possible with this device. When the phone is connected to the file server, the user can browse the shared folders and retrieve files listed in the folders. The user can transfer files to the file server device using the normal Send/via Bluetooth option.

Media viewing

The phone can send images and sounds to a media viewer device, such as, the MMW-100 TV adaptor accessory. The user can also conveniently run a slide show on the TV showing a set of nice phone camera pictures for family and friends. The phone can connect to a Bluetooth device that can receive images, the image can be transferred to the remote screen and displayed.

Remote control

The phone keypad is configured for control of a certain computer application through a special type of HID configuration file consisting of an XML file for the keypad and an image for the display. HID configuration files can be downloaded into the phone using the normal file transfer mechanisms.

Users can even modify the files themselves on their computers. A few configuration files pre-loaded in the phone enable the user to navigate on a compu- ter desktop and control presentations and Media players.

System functions

Characteristics

The HID configuration files, and the set of prede- fined HID configuration files, are customizable. The configuration files can be modified by the user if transferred to, and opened on, a computer.

Used enablers and bearers

The HID based remote control function works over Bluetooth. It is possible to download the HID con- figuration files via Bluetooth, IR or USB. It is also possible to transfer the files to another device using Bluetooth or infrared.

Power save mode

The phone uses sniff mode on headset, handsfree and HID connections which means reduced power consumption and shorter connection set-up times.

IrDA

IrDA (Infrared Data Association) is a point-to-point communication link between two infrared ports. The infrared beam has to be directed towards the target infrared port and as long as the two infrared ports are within sight and range, the devices can exchange data.

Object Exchange via infrared (IrObex) supports transferring objects between compatible phones. You can use M600 to control electrical devices that have an infrared port, such as, a television or DVD player.
