What is Bluetooth?
Bluetooth is a worldwide standard for digital wireless communication and data
exchange between multiple devices. Bluetooth compliant devices exchange data
by establishing a relationship with each other, the first device acting as a client,
requests a connection, while the second device acting as a server accepts or rejects
that request. Some Bluetooth devices can behave as client and server; however
other devices can only behave as a client.
