4 Applications
This chapter describes the applications delivered together with the BLIP and how
to use them.
4.1
Infotainment Access Point
The IAP implements a so called LAN access point. This means that all of the
functions you normally can access via your network, also can be accessed
through the IAP (provided that the terminal has these capabilities). The IAP
application makes it possible for a user to browse through HTML and WMLC (the
WML binary format) data.
The Infotainment Access Point (IAP) application makes the BLIP accessible for all
types of network communication. For example, if you have a Bluetooth terminal
capable of displaying streaming video, the IAP application can be used to stream
the video data. For example, it would be possible to send data to a printer from a
terminal using a BLIP with IAP installed.
The area where the BLIP is present will transform into an Infotainment Access
Point!
You can use Common Gateway Interface (CGI) scripts together with data and
graphics, which gives the possibility to make the user interact with the BLIP.

Using CGI scripts, you can now get valuable input from the user
via your BLIP site. The user can interact with the BLIP and
submit data to your applications.
The HTML/WMLC content and CGI scripts are usually stored locally on a
standalone BLIP, but contents and scripts can also be stored on a network
reachable from the BLIP, for example the Internet. Possible storage locations
include:
• Local - Locally in the BLIP
• Network - On a local network connected to the BLIP
• Internet - On a computer connected to the Internet and the BLIP
