Making a Windows Mobile device emulate a Bluetooth HID device

Question

I\'m looking for a way to connect a Windows Mobile device to a PC via Bluetooth and have it show up on the PC as a HID device (i.e. Keyboard or Mouse). I imagine this would

Answer 1

It's perfectly possible. Just start a bluetooth server registered with the HID service Guid {00001124-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb}. If the device supports the Microsoft bluetooth stack you can use Peter Foot's excellent .NET CF library (http://32feet.net/) and BluetoothService.HumanInterfaceDevice;

UPDATE:

With Peter Foot's library the server would look something like this:

using System.IO;
using InTheHand.Net.Sockets;
using InTheHand.Net.Bluetooth;

// ...

BluetoothListener l = new BluetoothListener(
    BluetoothService.HumanInterfaceDevice);
using (l) {
    BluetoothClient c = l.AcceptBluetoothClient();
    using (c) {
        Stream s = c.GetStream();
        using (s) {
            // send HID bytes
        }
    }
}
