shows web-based control
A web-based remote controller for a DVD player has provided the first ever demonstration of Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) running over Bluetooth wireless technology
Wordsun Web Works has created a web-based remote controller for a DVD player, to support the Bluetooth industry leader CSR with the first ever demonstration of Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) running over Bluetooth wireless technology. In a presentation at the Bluetooth Congress in Amsterdam, a Flash-animated virtual front panel provided an ergonomic user interface to allow users to remotely control consumer appliances over a wireless personal area network.

Single-chip Bluetooth enables wireless combo
Cambridge Silicon Radio has collaborated with Intersil and SMART Modular Technologies to produce a mini-PCI card combining Bluetooth and 802.11b wireless protocols
The demonstration successfully illustrated the concept of a web-based browser - on a PC or a portable device such as a PDA - acting as a universal user interface.
The consumer DVD player in the demonstration was fitted with a module containing CSR's BlueCore2 chip, running both a web server and IPv6 stacks, as well as the Bluetooth protocol.
IPv6 implements 128bit addressing, which means that every appliance in the world could have a unique address.
This paves the way for the remote control and monitoring of products such as lighting, heating systems and household appliances.
"The combination of Wordsun Web Works' multimedia skills and imagination is helping us to present electronic OEMs with a clear picture of the huge applications potential opened up by the addition of Bluetooth wireless networking", says Alan Woolhouse, CSR's VP of Communications.
"It's fascinating to help technology pioneers like CSR to grow", adds Michael Johnson, Manager of Wordsun Web Works.
"They are not only creating a successful semiconductor business, but exploiting multi-media tools to help them market and serve customers worldwide".
