All
today
have mobile phones, pcs, laptops, tablets, some have traffic devices,
some have security devices and many more. All these devices are having a
device inside them called
Bluetooth. This device is used to transfer data from one device to
another
wirelessly, in a specified range. When we have something in our phone
and a
friend of us wants to have that in his phone so we don’t have to upload
that to
internet for him and then ask him to download it or upload it to
computer or
some other device to transfer instead we use Bluetooth by just selecting
the
file and clicking send through Bluetooth and have it done.
We can
transfer files through Bluetooth from phone to phone, phone to laptop, to
tablet etc. This is perfect for transfer but slow to send or share big files
like movies etc. however best and fully perfect for small file transfer. Similarly we can control our PC or laptop from
our smartphone. We often use Bluetooth mouse and keyboard to control our PC
more easily. For listening music or to communicate free hand through phones we
use Bluetooth Handsfree or headset.
What actually a Bluetooth device is?
Bluetooth is
wireless file sharing system for short distances which uses Short wavelength
UHF Radio waves in ISM band from 2.4 to 2.485 GHz. Mostly in mobile device the
range given is 10 meters but its maximum physical range is 60 meters. This
technology is also used for building Personal Area Networks (PANs) and can
connect several devices at once. This is a Packet Based Protocol with having a
master-slave structure. A master can communicate with seven slaves in a piconet
(an ad-hoc computer network that uses Bluetooth technology). The data transfer
is done in packets. However deep study is complicated and to write all
structure and function article its difficult and takes time but yeah all that
is available in Wikipedia. In this article I will discuss with about the cover
story of the device.
Who Invented
Bluetooth?
Bluetooth
technology was invented by a telecom company Ericsson in the year of 1994. By
the name Ericsson I remember those old big mobile phones of the 1998 to 2002, I
myself used that old phones at that time here in Pakistan that phones were not
so much abundant but in small quantity. Ericsson name reminds me that phones
when I hear it.
Why the name
Bluetooth?
This word Bluetooth is derived form the word Blatan. Blatan full name King HaraldBlatan or Harald Bluetooth who was the king of Denmark in 10th century because he united Danish tribes to single kingdom and also began to Christianize the country.
What is the use of Bluetooth?
Bluetooth is
widely used device in many other hand hold devices.
1. One of its first and popular use is
Bluetooth handsfree or headset. People call such headset just Bluetooth
sometimes.
2. For communication between near mobile
devices.
3. For wireless control of many devices
like computer operating by mobile phone in new touch-smartphones.
4. Bluetooth keyboards
5. Wireless networking between near computer
devices.
6. PC input and output devices control.
7. For synchronization and file transfer
between two or more devices.
8. Also in medical equipment, GPS
receivers, traffic control devices, test equipment and bar code scanners.
9. Security systems
And many more applications.
I want to share with you a small fact if you transfer some
file from one phone to other phone and want to transfer another file from the
receiving phone to some other device or phone, you can do it and it will not
make the speed slow. However, Bluetooth is very good invention which made many
small and big things easy for us.
