Overview

The BluetoothDevice API provides information regarding a given remote bluetooth device.

Interface

BluetoothDevice

interface BluetoothDevice: EventTarget
{
  readonly attribute DOMString              address;
  readonly attribute BluetoothClassOfDevice cod;
  readonly attribute DOMString              name;
  readonly attribute boolean                paired;
  readonly attribute any                    uuids; // array of DOMString

  attribute EventHandler onattributechanged;

  DOMRequest fetchUuids();
};

BluetoothDeviceAttribute

enum BluetoothDeviceAttribute
{
  "cod",
  "name",
  "paired",
  "uuids"
}

Properties

address

Description
The address attribute provides the address of the device on the bluetooth micro-network.
Value type
DOMString
Default value
Empty string ("")
Sample
var address = instanceOfBluetoothDevice.address;

cod

Description
The cod attribute is a BluetoothClassOfDevice object that provides much information about the device's capabilities.
Value type
BluetoothClassOfDevice
Default value
A BluetoothClassOfDevice object whose attributes are default values.
Sample
var cod = instanceOfBluetoothDevice.cod;

var majorDeviceClass = cod.BluetoothMajorDeviceClass;
var majorServiceClass = cod.BluetoothMajorServiceClass;
var minorDeviceClass = cod.BluetoothMinorDeviceClass;

name

Description
The name attribute is the human readable name of the device.
Value type
DOMString
Default value
Empty string ("")
Sample
var name = instanceOfBluetoothDevice.name;

paired

Description
The paired attribute indicates whether this remote device is paired to current device's adapter (true) or not (false).
Value type
boolean
Default value
false
Sample
var paired = instanceOfBluetoothDevice.paired;

uuids

Description
The uuids attribute stores the cached UUID list of each bluetooth service that the remote device provides. If the up-to-date UUID list is required, call fetchUuids() to update this attribute.
Value type
An array of DOMString
Default value
An empty array (array with length = 0)
Sample
var uuids = instanceOfBluetoothDevice.uuids;

Event Handlers

onattributechanged

Description
A handler to trigger when an attribute of the remote device is changed. Note in this event handler, access to the changed attribute also gets the updated value.
Paramter
aAttributeEvent
The event is a BluetoothAttributeEvent with attribute attr as a BluetoothDeviceAttribute.
Sample
function bt_onAttributeChanged(evt) {
  var attr = evt.attr;
  var value = evt.value;

  switch (attr) {
    case BluetoothDeviceAttribute.name:
      // do your things here
      break;
    case BluetoothDeviceAttribute.uuids:
      // do your things here
      break;
    default:
      break;
  }
}

instanceOfBluetoothDevice.onattributechanged = bt_onAttributeChanged;

Methods

fetchUuids()

Description
The fetchUuid method fetches the up-to-date UUID list of each bluetooth service that the device provides.
Return
A DOMRequest object to handle the success or error of the operation. In case of success, the request's result is an array of DOMString objects.
Sample
var req = instanceOfBluetoothDevice.fetchUuids();

req.onsuccess = functions(e) {
  var uuids = e.target.result;
  // do your things here!
}
