(Bluetooth)计算机和其他设备之间的蓝牙连接通常很棘手。根据您计算机上的蓝牙芯片(Bluetooth chip)、为它安装的驱动程序以及您通过蓝牙(Bluetooth)连接的设备,体验会有很大差异。例如,虽然大多数普通手机会按照前面教程中的说明连接到您的计算机,但大多数现代智能手机不会以这种方式连接。连接是通过一个名为蓝牙设备控制的面板处理的,该面板还在通常的(Bluetooth Device Control)文件传输(file transfer)功能之上添加功能。本教程解释了蓝牙设备控制(Bluetooth Device Control)中的所有选项,如何通过蓝牙交换文件和共享(Bluetooth and shares)所有可用的配置选项
打开蓝牙设备控制(Bluetooth Device Control)
在打开蓝牙设备控制(Bluetooth Device Control)之前,您需要将手机和计算机配对。要了解如何做到这一点,请阅读本教程:通过蓝牙在手机和 Windows(Bluetooth Between Phones & Windows) 7 PC 之间传输文件。完成此操作后,通过单击“开始”菜单(Start Menu)上的快捷方式打开“设备(Devices)和打印机”面板(Printers panel)。
双击(Double click)您的手机名称。
这将打开蓝牙设备控制(Bluetooth Device Control)面板,该面板在来回传输文件的常用功能之上提供了一些有趣的功能。
从蓝牙设备控制(Bluetooth Device Control)向您的手机发送文件
要将文件发送到您的手机,请单击“将文件发送到手机”("Send files to the phone")链接。
这将打开蓝牙 FTP 向导(Bluetooth FTP Wizard)。浏览您的计算机并选择要发送的文件。好消息是您可以选择任意数量的文件。完成选择后,单击发送(Send)。
在您的手机上,您会立即被要求接受文件传输(file transfer)。完成后,传输开始,您会在计算机上看到一个进度条。(progress bar)
传输操作(transfer operation)结束后,进度条(progress bar)消失,您将返回蓝牙设备控制(Bluetooth Device Control)面板。
从您的手机(Mobile Phone)发送文件到您的计算机(Computer)
要从手机发送文件,请从手机上可用的上下文菜单中为该文件选择Send -> Bluetooth或类似选项。然后,选择您的计算机作为将其发送到的设备。注意:(NOTE:) 请记住(Remember),手机和计算机(phone and computer)需要先配对。
在计算机上,您会收到类似于以下通知的通知,标题为“请求 FTP 文件访问权限”("Request for FTP file access permissions")。尽快点击它。(Click)此通知会在几秒钟后消失,如果您不迅速采取行动,传输将自动失败。
单击通知后,会出现一个名为“蓝牙文件传输访问授权”("Bluetooth File Transfer Access Authorization")的窗口,提供多个选项:您可以仅允许当前传输请求(transfer request)(默认选项(default choice))或特定时间段(time period)或永久访问。如果您计划进行多次转移,最好选择其他两个可用选项之一,具体取决于哪个更适合您的需求。
完成允许访问后,单击OK。
传输开始,您不会在计算机上看到任何进度窗口。(progress window)您只能在手机上查看进度。传输完成后,您将在计算机上收到“文件传输通知”("File Transfer notification")。如果单击它,它将打开保存文件的文件夹。
保存文件的文件夹是设置(one set)为基于蓝牙传输的(Bluetooth)默认位置(default location)的文件夹。但是,您传输的某些文件可能未保存在该文件夹中。例如,在某些计算机上,如果Windows检测到您正在传输音乐文件(music file),它可能会将其直接保存到您的音乐(Music)库中。保存在图片(Pictures)库中的图片或保存在视频库中的(Videos)视频文件(library or video files)也是如此。是不是很沮丧?(Frustrating)我希望体验不会那么混乱,但不幸的是事实并非如此。
有趣(Fun Features)的功能- 播放音乐(Music)和使用电脑(Computer)作为免提电话
接下来,您有两个有趣且有用的功能:
Connect
"Headset and Speakers"
Connect
"Music and Audio"
Play
Windows Media Player
您可以随时通过按相应的断开连接(Disconnect)按钮禁用这些功能中的任何一个。
查找配置设置
蓝牙设备控制(Bluetooth Device Control)提供对所有重要配置设置的访问。首先(First),转到窗口底部并查看(window and look)“设置”(Settings)部分。
如果您展开文件交换设置(File Exchange settings),您可以设置用于保存通过蓝牙发送的文件的(Bluetooth)默认文件夹(default folder)。
展开授权选项以查找与确认对(Authorization Options)蓝牙(Bluetooth)连接手机执行的所有操作相关的设置。
如果您想要最不烦人的弹出窗口,则应选择“始终允许此设备连接以进行所有操作”("Always allow this device to connect for all operations")并选中“允许手机自动将此计算机用作免提电话”("Allow phone to automatically use this computer as a speakerphone")。
接下来,在蓝牙设备控制(Bluetooth Device Control)面板的左下方,您可以找到三个链接。第一个称为“添加蓝牙设备”("Add a Bluetooth device")。如果单击它,它将启动“添加设备("Add a device)向导”,该向导允许您连接到其他蓝牙(Bluetooth)设备(如果可用)。
第二个链接称为“显示蓝牙设备”("Show Bluetooth devices")。如您所料,单击它会显示一个列表,其中包含您的计算机连接到的所有蓝牙设备。(Bluetooth devices")
第三个也是最重要的链接称为“打开蓝牙设置”("Open Bluetooth settings")。单击它会打开蓝牙设置(Bluetooth Settings)窗口,您可以在其中配置计算机蓝牙(Bluetooth)设备的所有方面。
我们已经在之前的教程中介绍了重要设置:在手机和 Windows 7 PC之间通过蓝牙传输文件。(Bluetooth Between Phones & Windows)
结论
正如您在本教程中所见,蓝牙设备控制(Bluetooth Device Control)提供了一些很酷的功能,既有趣又有用。但是,它并没有成功消除复杂性,因为您在传输文件时的体验仍然令人困惑。
Connecting Smartphones to a Windows 7 PC via Bluetooth Device Control
Bluetooth connections between computers and other devices are often triсky. The experience vаries a lot depending on the Bluetooth chip on your cоmputer, the drivers yoυ installed for it and thе device you are connecting vіa Bluеtooth. For example, while most normal phonеs will connect to you computer as described in a previous tutoriаl, most modern smartphones will not connect thаt way. The connection is handled via a panel called Bluetooth Device Control which also ads functionality on top of the usual file transfer capabilities. This tutorial explains all the options found in Bluetooth Device Control, how to exchange files via Bluetooth and shares all the available configuration options
Opening the Bluetooth Device Control
Before you can open the Bluetooth Device Control, you need to have your phone and your computer paired together. To learn how this is done, read this tutorial: Transfer Files via Bluetooth Between Phones & Windows 7 PCs. Once this is done, open the Devices and Printers panel, by clicking on its shortcut on the Start Menu.
Double click on the name of your phone.
This opens the Bluetooth Device Control panel, which offers some interesting features on top of the usual functionality for transferring files back and forth.
Sending Files to Your Phone from Bluetooth Device Control
To send files to your phone, click on the link which says "Send files to the phone".
This opens the Bluetooth FTP Wizard. Browse your computer and select the files you want to send. The good news is that you can select any number of files. When done selecting them, click Send.
On your phone you are immediately asked to accept the file transfer. Once you do, the transfer starts and you are shown a progress bar on the computer.
When the transfer operation ends, the progress bar disappears, and you are back to the Bluetooth Device Control panel.
Sending Files to Your Computer from Your Mobile Phone
To send a file from your phone, select Send -> Bluetooth or something similar, from the contextual menu available on your phone, for that file. Then, select your computer as the device to send it to. NOTE: Remember that the phone and computer need to be paired first.
On the computer you receive a notification similar to the one below, titled "Request for FTP file access permissions". Click on it as soon as you can. This notification is gone after a few seconds and, if you don't act swiftly, the transfer will automatically fail.
Once you click on the notification, a window called "Bluetooth File Transfer Access Authorization" shows up, giving several options: you can allow access only for the current transfer request (the default choice) or for a certain time period or forever. If you plan to make more than one transfer, it is better to select one of the other two available choices, depending on which fits your needs better.
When done allowing access, click OK.
The transfer starts and you are not shown any progress window on the computer. You can view the progress only on your phone. Once the transfer is done, you will receive on the computer a "File Transfer notification". If you click on it, it will open the folder where the file was saved.
The folder where files are saved is the one set as the default location for Bluetooth based transfers. However, it can happen that some files you transfer are not saved in that folder. For example, on some computers, if Windows detects you are transferring a music file, it might save it directly to your Music library. The same with pictures being saved in the Pictures library or video files being saved in the Videos library. Frustrating isn't it? I wish the experience would be less confusing but unfortunately it isn't.
The Fun Features - Playing Music and Using the Computer as a Speakerphone
Next, you have two fun and useful features:
Connect
"Headset and Speakers"
Connect
"Music and Audio"
Play
Windows Media Player
You can disable any of these features at any time by pressing the appropriate Disconnect button.
Finding the Configuration Settings
The Bluetooth Device Control provides access to all the important configuration settings. First, go to the bottom of the window and look at the Settings section.
If you expand File Exchange settings, you can set the default folder used for saving files sent via Bluetooth.
Expand Authorization Options to find settings related to confirmations of all operations done to and from the Bluetooth connect phone.
If you want the least annoying pop-ups, you should select "Always allow this device to connect for all operations" and check "Allow phone to automatically use this computer as a speakerphone".
Next, on the bottom left side of the Bluetooth Device Control panel, you can find three links. The first is called "Add a Bluetooth device". If you click on it, it starts the "Add a device wizard, which allows you to connect to other Bluetooth devices (if available).
The second link is called "Show Bluetooth devices". As you expect, clicking on it shows a list with all the Bluetooth devices" your computer is connected to.
The third and most important link is called "Open Bluetooth settings". Clicking on it opens the Bluetooth Settings window, where you can configure all aspects of your computer's Bluetooth devices.
We already covered the important settings in our previous tutorial: Transfer Files via Bluetooth Between Phones & Windows 7 PCs.
Conclusion
As you can see from this tutorial, Bluetooth Device Control offers some cool functionality, that can be both fun and useful. However, it doesn't succeed at eliminating complexity, as the experience you have when transferring files can still be confusing.
