Sony DSC-FX77 and BIP
I would like to ask two questions:
- Does the BlueZ bluetooth library implement BIP (Basic Imaging Profile) ?
- Does anyone know of a frontend software on Linux that would allow me to operate a Sony DSC-FX77 bluetooth camera using BIP.
Thanks a million

try the OBEX Push Daemon (http://oss.bdit.de/opd.html). The FX77 has no full BIP support. You can push or receive images and use the remote camera feature, but you can't retrieve any thumbnail or image from it using the PC and tools like gPhoto etc.

Thank you for the info, but about the DSC-FX77 support for BIP it seems that Sony has everything running very well between their own hardware.
The DSC-FX77 and the Clie TG-50 PDA - with the "Remote Camera" Clie application
http://www.clieandco.com/00clieandco/04dossiers/Bluetooth/bluetooth_4_apn.html
The DSC-FX77 and the VAIO laptops - with the "Network Smart Capture" VAIO application
http://www.sonydigital-link.com/tutorials/DIME/cybershotBT/en/remote.html
Is that only a partial implementation of BIP ? If not, my 2 questions remain:
- Is there an application like "Remote Camera" or "Network Smart Capture" that runs under linux.
- And if not, can I use a library like BlueZ to make one ?

read the BIP profile specification and read my mail again ;)

No.

You must use BlueZ and OpenOBEX.

Do you have the BIP profile specifications ? If you do I would really like a copy.
you will find it at www.bluetooth.org

Hello Marcel
After reading the BIP Specs V1.0, it seems that I need to implement the following functions from the remote camera feature.
- GetMonitoringImage
- GetImage
My goal is just to be able to:
- connect to DSC-FX77 (I suppose I can do it with BlueZ ?)
- view thumbnail sized monitoring images (GetMonitoringImage + StoreFlag = 0x00)
- trigger the image capture on the DSC-FX77 (GetMonitoringImage + StoreFlag = 0x01)
- retrieve the full size image from the camera (GetImage with the correct image Handle)
- disconnect from the camera. (I also suppose I can do it with BlueZ ?)
The way I understand it:
- The 2 functions (GetMonitoringImage and GetImage) make use of OBEX headers, this is where openOBEX comes in, right ?
- If I send those commands to the DSC-FX77 camera acting as an imaging responder, will it understand them, and send back the right data ?
Am I making any sense and am I in the right direction ?
If so, do you know where can I find sample code that makes use of openOBEX and BlueZ to start experimenting.
Thank you
TOM

the feature bits of the SDP record shows you what function do the FX77 really support.

As I said above, check the feature bits first. But you are right, you must use OpenOBEX and the native operations are put, get and setpath. The rest is XML related stuff.

Check the opd and the obex repository in the BlueZ CVS.
