Serial Keys interface for Java based RIM Blackberry handsets
by Kevin Caves
Duke Researchers have been working on the development of a Java program that allows AAC devices to control RIM Blackberry handheld phones. The Serial Keys program will be made available on the AAC-RERC website for free download.
The program allows AAC devices capable of sending GEIDI escape or serial keys commands to control both the RIM Blackberry navigation interface as well as allow the AAC device to send text to the Blackberry. This enables a user to control Blackberry functions including sending email, text, and SMS messages in addition to allowing the user to operate phone feature (e.g. dial, answer, hangup).
The program will work with Bluetooth enabled AAC devices. Hardware solutions have been identified that will Bluetooth-enable non-bluetooth AAC devices such as the Dynavox and PRC families of devices.
A working solution has been completed and is functional. Currently additional testing and debugging is underway.
