Is there such a thing as a event that is activated via bluetooth from a cell phone when it rings? I am writing a script that connects to my razr and waits for it to ring. Once it rings, it will look up the incoming phone number with either whitepages.com (free) or cnam.info (pay), and return the name and number of the incoming caller using the dbus messaging system. Effectively, this will turn the tablet into a CallerID with name unit for a cell phone. I already have something like this written on a windows platform, over a usb cable, but I would love to adapt this to the tablet. So far, just using command line options, I can CAT to the port, and am able to grab the phone number (after issueing the commands by ECHOing them to the port), but keeping a persistent connection to the phone via bluetooth will wear the battery down very quickly, so I almost need some type of event driven function.
Anyway, if anyone has any ideas, I would love to hear them.
