OBject EXchange

IrOBEX (short for OBEX Object Exchange ) is an established IrDA communication protocol and is used for data transfer between two devices.

OBEX works in the classic client - server model. It contains rudimentary session management as well as the "PUT" - and "GET " methods for data transmission, thus the OBEX protocol is remotely comparable to the File Transfer Protocol. OBEX is today mainly used for serial communication (Bluetooth, infrared or cradle) to mobile devices (PDA, IPAQ, smartphone). According to the OSI model, it belongs to the session layer ( layer 5) and is therefore transparent to the actual method of communication.
