Basic Compatibility Tips
Due to various inquiries regarding the virtual keyboard's compatibility we tried to formulize a "rule of thumb" that each customer/user may use to check by him/herself.
Note: There are hundreds of devices in today's market, most of which will support our technology but we simply can't check them all, However the basic conditions are detailed below:
Please download the latest driver using following links. You can also access This Site for all drivers.
VKB Driver Version 5.7
Here is a simplified instruction for using your VKB.
1. remove the program completely on your device.
2. restart your device and reset the VKB
3. do not search for device from your bluetooth network
4. install the driver again
5. use the VKB program to look for device under something like "connection"
6. click on enable VKB
7. Go to the bluetooth setting of your portable device and add new device.
8. You should see "Virtual Keyboad". In some cases it is necessary to hold Shift (up) + Fn + B until the keyboard beeps. (about 3 seconds). This will set the keyboard to "discoverable" mode.
9. enter the passcode(passkey) on the VKB and on your device
*Passkey here is what you define for security.
10. after hearing beep from VKB, enter the same passcode on the projected
keyboard from VKB
11. hit "enter" on the projected keyboard
12. pairing process complete
The virtual keyboard supports the Bluetooth HID (Human Interface Device) and SPP (Serial Port Profile) services, or profiles. In order for a device (i.e. PC, PDA, phone) to be able to work with the virtual keyboard it must answer to one of the following:
A. Able to support the Bluetooth HID profile - Though quite common on USB dongles and/or built-in to laptops, this profile has not been featured on PDAs and phones until recently and is now found on devices running Windows Mobile 5. This service/profile may be referred to as "HID" or "Input Device" or "Keyboard/Mouse". When pairing and connecting the virtual keyboard with such a device, there is no need for any additional software.
B. Able to support the Bluetooth Serial Port Profile (SPP) - This service/profile is quite common on all devices supporting Bluetooth, though many of the "not-so-smart" phones, may not have included this service in their product. To utilize this connection, the user needs a small software program called a VKB Driver. These drivers, supplied by i.Tech are platform dependent, so a user will need to know what Operating System is running on his/her device to know whether there is a matching driver.
The following drivers/platforms are supported:
* Blackberry
* PalmOS 5
* Pocket PC 2003 Family (using Microsoft, Widcom/Broadcom and Extended Systems Bluetooth Stacks)
* Smartphone 2003 (using Microsoft Bluetooth Stacks)
* Symbian OS 6.x - 8.x Series 60 User Interface
* Symbian OS 6.x - 8.x UIQ 2.x User Interface
* Windows Mobile 5
* Windows 2000/XP
