Profile | Description |
|---|---|
Service Discovery Protocol (SDP) | Handles the search for known and specific services as well as general services. |
Serial Port Profile (SPP) | Allows use of RFCOMM protocol to emulate serial cable connection between two Bluetooth peer devices. For example, connecting the device to a printer. |
Object Push Profile (OPP) | Allows the device to push and pull objects to and from a push server. |
Human Interface Device Profile (HID) | Allows Bluetooth keyboards, pointing devices, gaming devices and remote monitoring devices to connect to the device. |
Out of Band (OOB) | Allows exchange of information used in the pairing process. Pairing is completed using the Bluetooth radio, but requires information from the OOB mechanism. Using OOB with NFC enables pairing when devices simply get close, rather than requiring a lengthy discovery process. |
Generic Attribute Profile (GATT) | Provides profile discovery and description services for Bluetooth Low Energy protocol. It defines how attributes are grouped together into sets to form services. |
Generic Access Profile (GAP) | Use for device discovery and authentication. |
OBject EXchange (OBEX) | Facilitates the exchange of binary objects between devices. |
