How to interact between PC and cell phone camera

My new project is to create an application to use a cell phone camera as the main camera from my PC.

How can I do such a thing?

I was thinking about using bluetooth, but how does my computer detect my cell phone as the main camera?

The best rules.

You may be able to do this depending on your camera phone and features. For my bluetooth endeavors, I used the A7 hardware and Blue Tools .NET library from Franson .

I was able to:



  • pairs of devices in code
  • send / push images to phone (maybe the reverse will work, but I haven't tried)
  • automatic device discovery
  • serial number
  • network com
  • install as network driver

The good news is that on the Bluetooth side, you might need a program running on your phone to send images. Or you may find that there is a Bluetooth program already running and the provision of this service, for example, the Bluetooth BASIC IMAGING PROFILE (BIP) profile ( 1 ) includes a usage scenario: "Using a mobile phone to control the shutter of a digital camera and immediately review the result on the phone screen In the current scenario, any other portable imaging device could act as a mobile phone. "

So, first you need to find if the phone supports BIP. For example, you can use the SdpBrowser example app in my 32feet.NET.NET bluetooth library to see what services the phone is promoting. Otherwise, perhaps its documentation will tell you. Then you need to find out if the BIP service on your phone supports this scenario.



On the PC side, you might need some driver-level software to allow any application to use the remote camera. You can start by simply using your own camera app.
