More and more mobiles support Bluetooth, a radio interface for close range, with which data between individual mobile devices can be exchanged. The philosophy of the project is, to use this interface for the automatic sifting of suitable flirtation partners in the direct environment (tavern, discotheque, pedestrian precinct etc..). In the meantime many mobiles support Java and in the last years the mobile manufacturer terminated diverse APIs for the ever more numerous features (Bluetooth, Camera, sound etc.) of the new Handy generation. So we decided to use Java J2ME on MIDP 2,0 considering the different APIs (e.g. JSR 82, JSR 135).
We assume that these new standards in the coming mobile generation will be accepted exactly the same like Java MIDP 1,0 today. So without large expenditure the program can be adapted on a whole number of future mobiles.
The project was realized in Java J2ME MIDP 2.0. The main operating expense was to program the bluetooth interface. We took the Java API JSR 82, becauce diverse mobile manufacturer have decided to support this standard.
It was our target to find a method, which avoid to much queries of the operation system.
We found a way to make it possible to exchange even jpg-Files via bluetooth without getting queries of the operation system (We have tested it with the Nokia 6600, Symbian 7.0).
Because of using the newest standard (Java MIDP 2.0 / JSR 82 etc) there are only a few mobile on market, which achieve the requirements of the project. But we think that in future there will be a lot of more mobiles, which can be used with BluetoothFlirt. We think the the new Java Microedition Standard will get accepted such as the old one at the moment. So there will be a broad basis and it is no secret that the amount of mobiles whith integrated digital cam grows every day.
