Bluetooth HID is a lightweight wrapper of the human interface device protocol defined for USB. The use of the HID protocol simplifies host implementation (when supported by host operating systems) by re-use of some of the existing support for USB HID in order to support also Bluetooth HID. Keyboard and keypads must be secure.
Bluetooth 2.1 improved device pairing speed and security. Bluetooth 3.0 again improved transfer speed up to 24 Mbit/s. In 2010 Bluetooth 4.0 (Low Energy) was released with its main focus being reduced power consumption. Before Bluetooth 4.0 the majority of connections using Bluetooth were two way, both devices listen and talk to each other.
Bluetooth Low Energy ( Bluetooth LE, colloquially BLE, formerly marketed as Bluetooth Smart [1]) is a wireless personal area network technology designed and marketed by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (Bluetooth SIG) [2] aimed at novel applications in the healthcare, fitness, beacons, [3] security, and home entertainment industries.

iBeacon. Smartphone detecting an iBeacon transmitter. iBeacon is a protocol developed by Apple and introduced at the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference in 2013. [1] Various vendors have since made iBeacon-compatible hardware transmitters – typically called beacons – a class of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) devices that broadcast their ...
The Windows Driver Kit ( WDK) is a software toolset from Microsoft that enables the development of device drivers for the Microsoft Windows platform. [1] It includes documentation, samples, build environments, and tools for driver developers. [2] A complete toolset for driver development also need the following: a compiler Visual Studio ...
Bluetooth is a short-range wireless technology standard that is used for exchanging data between fixed and mobile devices over short distances and building personal area networks (PANs). In the most widely used mode, transmission power is limited to 2.5 milliwatts, giving it a very short range of up to 10 metres (33 ft).
Input/output. v. t. e. In the context of an operating system, a device driver is a computer program that operates or controls a particular type of device that is attached to a computer or automaton.

Windows Driver Model. In computing, the Windows Driver Model ( WDM ) – also known at one point as the Win32 Driver Model – is a framework for device drivers that was introduced with Windows 98 and Windows 2000 to replace VxD, which was used on older versions of Windows such as Windows 95 and Windows 3.1, as well as the Windows NT Driver Model .
