Can we control the play/forward/reverse/pause functionality of the headset using Bluetooth smart module present on wristband through music APP installed on the smartphone? or Do we need AVRCP bluetooth profile to be present on wristband itself.?

Hello ,

I'm Dinesh Katkar,We as team planning for wearable IoT product,so selected Nordic sem's Bluetooth Smart SoC for our end application.

Can we control the play/forward/reverse/pause functionality of the headset using Bluetooth smart module present on wristband through music APP installed on the smartphone? or Do we need AVRCP bluetooth profile to be present on wristband itself.?

I would like to check that AVRCP profile is available for Bluetooth Smart. If so, how I will need to use this profile in your embedded software in order to communicate with your host.

Thanks Dinesh Katkar

There is no AVRCP profile available for Bluetooth Smart.

I would look into using HID over GATT to do this, there are some related questions in there. For example this.

Or you could use a proprietary profile and let the app implement the actual functionality. Then I would recommend having a look at the ble_app_uart example.

Dear Mr. Petter,

Sorry to ask you basic questions !!!

First I will go through the HID over GATT concept and will come back with updated knowledge..

Just one last query...

1. Will existing Music App on smartphone need to change to interpret the commands received from the wristband for controlling the functionality of headset.

2. What do you mean by proprietary profile (is it AVRCP profile of bluetooth )

Thanks Dinesh Katkar
