Messing with Semacode?

Link: [eriksmartt.com/blog] – Blog Archive – semacode 1.5 released.

There’s a new version of semacode available, which includes the full source code for the Symbian SDK. Now I guess we need Python bindings 😉

I wonder if semacode could be used to facilitate Bluetooth pairing. One solution would be to have a semacode sticker on the phone and the app would do the pairing without searching. Alternately, is the camera and semacode good enough to read a semacode on the phone’s screen?

If the semacode app and camera could read a semacode off the screen, then I could think of a few cool apps that could use such kind of help. Sure we have Bluetooth, but sometimes, you just want to touch and get it over with. This way we wouldn’t have to wait for RFID, which needs hardware. Semacode could do this all in SW.

Just a thought.

  1. Contact info sharing would be a good place to start. Perhaps I’m just slow, but it’s something I always manage to struggle with.

  2. Yip using semacodes to parse a Bluetooth address and keyword in the following form:
    bt-l2cap:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX#PSM|Pizza
    Works a treat 😉
