Bluetooth Tutorial - Profiles
The profiles have been developed in order
to describe how implementations of user models are to be accomplished. The
user models describe a number of user scenarios where Bluetooth performs the
radio transmission. A profile can be described as a vertical slice through
the protocol stack. It defines options in each protocol that are mandatory
for the profile. It also defines parameter ranges for each protocol. The
profile concept is used to decrease the risk of interoperability problems
between different manufacturers' products.
Note: A number of
additional Bluetooth profiles are currently in the final stages of
development. To stay up to date check this page regularly or see our Bluetooth
News pages.
Bluetooth Profile Dependencies:

tutorial of its functions
The Bluetooth profile structure and the dependencies of
the profiles are depicted above. A profile is dependent upon another profile
if it re-uses parts of that profile, by implicitly or explicitly referencing
it. Dependency is illustrated in the figure: a profile has dependencies on
the profile(s) in which it is contained – directly and indirectly. For
example, the Object Push profile is dependent on Generic Object Exchange,
Serial Port, and Generic Access profiles.

Articles and Documentation page, for
