Push text messages to phone via BLE Peripheral

[Yaniv Reibenbach]

Hi,

In the BR Bluetooth (not BLE) there is a profile called OPP (object push profile) that enbled sending text messages to mobile phone with out the need to install any APP!

Is there a way to send any type of text message originated from a BLE Peripheral device towards a mobile device (such as Android) with out the need to install an app?

I have already found that in reply to advertise response I can provide a text (vendor name) but nothing other then that

Any thoughts? this is used for advertising

Hello,

There is no such service in BLE, unfortunately.

I believe what you are looking for is a beacon, which we have examples for, but they do require an app. You can look into the Eddystone beacon application. This is a defined beacon protocol which can be used to transmit e.g. URLs. 

Read about it in the link that I posted. I think this is the closest you get to what you are looking for, but as I said, it requires an app, but only one app for all eddystone beacons (standardized).

 

Best regards,

Edvin
