SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING REDIRECTION OF BLUETOOTH DEVICES

摘要

A method and system includes, by a computing device, redirecting a connected Bluetooth device connected to a local client such that the properties and functionalities of the Bluetooth device are available to applications hosted at a server. A virtual Bluetooth device is created and a virtual Bluetooth driver and a real Bluetooth driver a loaded by the operating system of the server. Requests from applications at the server are converted to transaction requests and transmitted to the Bluetooth device whereupon responses from the Bluetooth device are directed to the requesting application.
