Abstract

It is suggested to add some set of AT or Hayes commands for performing a wireless telecommunications between two terminals. This is advantageously adapted for controlling some mobile man machine interface among other when said wireless telecommunications will be supported over a Bluetooth radio link. It will then enable to support telephony over Bluetooth with very limited modifications in Serial Port Profile SPP. An implementation on PDA open platform is particularly easy.

Claims

1. Method for performing a wireless telecommunications between two terminals

using the respective serial port profile of the terminals and

applying a protocol based on AT- or Hayes- commands for the transmission of an audio channel of said wireless telecommunications.

2. Method according to claim 1, applying said protocol to a service channel of said wireless telecommunications

3. Method according to claim 1, wherein at least one of these two terminals is a gateway such that an incoming telecommunications will reach said gateway to be transmitted to said other terminal being dialed via said wireless telecommunications and an outgoing telecommunications will be activated by said other terminal and transmitted via said wireless telecommunications towards said gateway to be further transmitted.

4. Method according to claim 2, wherein said gateway is connected to some external or enterprise network and will take in charge inter-working with said network.

5. Method according to claim 2, wherein said gateway will take in charge at least some interface management of said other terminal.

6. Method according to claim 1, wherein said serial port profile is the Bluetooth serial Port profile while said wireless telecommunications is supported over a Bluetooth radio link.

7. Terminal comprising at least a modem supporting a serial port profile, and a processor on which AT- or Hayes- commands can be performed to build a wireless telecommunications with another terminal.

8. Terminal according to claim 7, wherein it is a Bluetooth mobile terminal.

9. Gateway to be connected to some enterprise or external network and comprising at least a serial port profile, a modem and a processor on which AT or Hayes commands can be performed to build a wireless telecommunications with a terminal while said gateway will take in charge at least some interface management of said terminal.

10. Gateway according to claim 9, wherein said serial port profile is a Bluetooth serial Port profile while said wireless telecommunications is supported over a Bluetooth radio link.
