Introduction to the IrTranP API

The IrTranP (Infrared Transfer Picture) API is a protocol API for transferring pictures between digital cameras and Symbian OS phones. The API is designed to facilitate sessions through the Symbian OS comms server using the IrCOMM protocol module.

The IrTranP API consists two parts

• methods used to manipulate the Unified Picture Format (UPF).

• methods for establishing and transferring a picture between a Symbian OS phone and a digital camera.

The CTranpSession class encapsulates the behaviour for receiving a picture from a peer device. Currently the API supports the receiving of pictures.
