%675$&7The Bluetooth specifications currently include many application profiles that define the requirements for some usage cases. In this paper the attention is focused on the "Basic Imaging Profile" BIP. The BIP could add important features to classic Digital Still Cameras, such as the possibility to send images to a Bluetooth Printer, or to send the image on Internet with a Bluetooth cellular phone..H\ZRUGV Bluetooth, digital still camera, wireless, profiles, XML.

Personal Computers, notebooks, mobile phones and palmtops are widely used both for personal and professional purpose. As far as the connection of such heterogeneous devices is concerned, wired or wireless makes no difference.The Bluetooth system [1] addressed the need to create a universal communication method. For this reason, in the 1998, many important companies, working on different fields, joined a consortium called SIG (Special Interest Group) with the scope to define this new standard. The main characteristic of this technology is to connect devices in a range of 100m, without the binds of other technologies. Bluetooth guaranties a fast and secure transmission of voice and data through synchronous and asynchronous links. The applications allow the creation of a universal link among already present technologies, among terminals and peripherals or, simpler, allow creating small private groups of devices connected themselves (Personal Area Network) that, unbound form fixed links, can exchange information easily and quickly.
