Software Suite for a BT-device
This Bluetooth device can be connected to a Data Projector or to any SVGA-compatible monitor and used for presentations. The Palm-based or Symbian UIQ-based PDA is used to transfer still images to the BT-device using Bluetooth protocol to control the presentation.
PC Suite software features:
Converts a PowerPoint PPT file to a series of JPEG (and/or PNG) files. Sorts JPEG (PNG) files correctly (In the alphabetical order). Shows preview. Transfers files to PDA in a desired directory. Supports HotSync and Bluetooth
connectivity. Generates and transfers a picture preview to PDA in a specified format. Compatible to Windows 98, ME, NT4, 2000 and Windows XP OS as well as to
Windows Office 2000 and Office XP. Help system.

Handheld software features:
Compatible to a Palm PDA based on the Palm OS v4.x and Palm OS v5.0 with external Palm Bluetooth SDIO Card or an embedded Bluetooth module and Symbian UIQ-based PDA.
Connects via Bluetooth to a selected specific BT-device. Supports device-specific communication protocol over the RFCOMM Bluetooth profile. Optional preview for pictures in the JPEG and PNG formats. Next, previous, jump to first, jump to last, and jump to selected pictures. Shows slide titles on the screen. Changes the device “Bluetooth name”. Supports Download/Upload/Delete slidesets and pictures from/to the device internal
non-volatile flash memory. Switch ON/OFF device Autorun mode for all the pictures and for a selected slideset at a
specified time delay between slides. Assigns setting for the standalone mode presentation. Supports Screen Capture modes – single shots and continuous. Also different settings

Using the Presentation Software Suite
The steps are as follows:
The user selects a PowerPoint file with the PC Suite on his/her computer. The PowerPoint file expands to a series of files and are then transferred to the PDA
over the HotSync or Bluetooth Connection. Individual slides are transferred to the specific device with the software on his/her PDA. Slides are shown on an external screen.
Programming languages: C, C++
Platform: Palm 4.x, 5.x, Symbian 7 UIQ, PocketPC,MS Windows

Pocket PC client for RFID-Bluetooth-scanner
ITC’s development team has created a Pocket PC client for RFID-Bluetooth-scanner. Core of the project: A simple instruction is sent from Pocket PC to RFID-scanner, which is used by
Australian farmers at livestock auctions for reading RFID-cattle ear tags. As a response the user receives a list of RFIDs.
Formerly the farmers could connect to Bluetooth RFID-scanner using Laptop and standard communications (RS-232) using client software. Now the connection is possible using Pocket PC.

Platform For Independent Mobile Wireless Networks
General Information
First steps and technical research:
• Started R&D in early 2003• Business idea: wireless matchmaking system• Bluetooth protocol, networks, architecture• Architectural prototype based on Bluetooth• Market research
Project substance:
To combine diverse mobile devices likePDAs, cellular phones, smartphones,communicators, laptops into an integratednetwork for information exchange based onwireless radio technologies.
BuZZone Platform
General network characteristics:
• Spontaneous wireless community of mobile devices
• Local proximity (up to 100 m)
• Independence from access points / routers / service providers
• Community varies in space joining new devices who enter the coverage area and losing those who quit it
• Support for different mobile platforms
