OBEX
From ArmadeusWiki
From Wikipedia: OBEX (abbreviation of OBject EXchange) is a communications protocol that facilitates the exchange of binary objects between devices... Although OBEX was initially designed for infrared, it has now been adopted by Bluetooth, and is also used over RS232, USB and WAP.
