The new Android platform supports the latest Bluetooth features

Google released the latest version of the Android operating system Android 4.3-Jelly Bean on the 24th, which supports Bluetooth Smart Ready technology, and released the new Nexus 7 tablet and Nexus 4 smartphones as the first devices to run the upgraded operating system. With the advent of Android 4.3, any Android smartphone or tablet equipped with a dual-mode Bluetooth chip will become a Bluetooth Smart Ready device, which can then be interconnected with other Bluetooth Smart devices to reduce energy consumption when computing and transmitting data. . This upgrade allows developers to take full advantage of the new system and take advantage of the huge market opportunities for next-generation Bluetooth Smart applications.

Suke Jawanda, chief marketing officer of Bluetooth SIG, said: “We have seen hundreds of Bluetooth products coming out this year, including home-auto locks, pedometers, fitness sensors, football, shoes, medical equipment, and even flowers. Pots and other products use ultra-low power Bluetooth Smart ultra-low power technology. This is only an initial stage, and we look forward to the possibility of the latest version of the Android platform and Bluetooth Smart Ready technology jointly created."

With the introduction of Android 4.3, Bluetooth Smart developers can more easily connect various devices with Android applications, and can also use the new Android application interface (API) to read data collected by other Bluetooth Smart applications, such as , Collect data from fitness monitors or medical devices through applications running on Bluetooth Smart Ready products such as smartphones and tablets. In the future, as long as consumers upgrade to the Android 4.3 operating system, combined with Android applications on the market associated with Bluetooth Smart sensor devices, smart phones and tablets will play a more powerful function.

Steve Hegenderfer, director of the Bluetooth SIG developer program, said: "At the Google Developers Conference, when we announced the integration of Bluetooth Smart Ready, the atmosphere was so exciting that I believe there are many applications for Android consumers are currently under development. Our developer platform content includes tutorials, forums, quick start guides, and compilers for Android and other operating systems, hoping to help developers bring Bluetooth innovations to market faster."

The Bluetooth SIG Developer Program includes developer portals and offline entity training seminars and hopes to shorten the time-to-market for the development of Bluetooth-enabled products and related applications. In the coming months, SIG will host developer seminars in offline training events in Shenzhen, Taipei, London, and San Jose. The Bluetooth SIG is also openly registered to download the "Bluetooth Application Accelerator" for Android, Apple, and Microsoft systems. It contains application programs and corresponding instruction source code, main function description files, and summary videos.
