3. Background
Easy!
• Mission
– Let’s make it 100 times easier to
create Bluetooth Applications
Too Hard!
• Why?
– All Bluetooth Stack APIs Bluetooth Apps
proprietary in Java
• How?
– Help create a Java/Bluetooth JABWT/JSR-82 APIs
standard
– Create Developer Tools that Java Virtual Machine
support this standard
– License an implementation of this Integration layer
standard to handset and other
equipment manufacturers Bluetooth Stack
Operating System

5. Impronto Products
• Impronto Simulator
Build
– Enables rapid development of Bluetooth Applications in Java Test
– No Bluetooth hardware required
– Integrates with development environments from hardware vendors (Palm, Debug
Compaq, Nokia, Ericsson, Siemens, etc.)
Simulator
• Impronto Development Kit (DK)
– Enables deployment of applications onto hardware
– Windows and Linux Support
• Impronto Technology Licensing Kit (TLK)
– Java/Bluetooth OEM offering for manufacturers or suppliers in equipment
value-chain
• Phone, Handset, PDA, Automotive Platform, Set Top Box, Industrial,…
– Enables rapid creation of JSR82 support in target product line
• Products have in common that they support the standard set of APIs for Deploy
using Bluetooth from Java (JSR82, or JABWT)
DevKit

6. JABWT - Java APIs for Bluetooth
Wireless Technology
• Java Community Process (JCP) defines new Java Standards
– JABWT Expert Group started January 2001, completed March 2002
• Standard referred to as JSR-82
– Chaired by Motorola; other members include Rococo, Nokia, Ericsson,
Mitsubishi, Extended Systems
– Profiles supported : GAP, SDAP, SPP, GOEP
• JABWT provides an API-based standard for using Bluetooth from
Java
– Every Bluetooth stack has a different API - switching stacks implies
rewriting perhaps 70% of your code
– The JABWT API enables the development of genuinely portable
Bluetooth applications
