Bluetooth low energy Device Roles

A Bluetooth low energy device can operate in four profile roles:
Peripheral An advertiser that is connectable Operates as a slave in a connection Example: Heart Rate Sensor Central Scans for advertisements and initiates connections Operates as a master in connections. Example: Smartphone Broadcaster An advertiser that is non-connectable Example: Temperature Sensor Observer Scans for advertisements, but cannot initiate connections Example: Temperature Display

Profiles and Services

A Profile defines and describes the use of Services necessary to implement a given Application Bluetooth SIG adopted examples:
Heart Rate Profile
Heart Rate Service (HRS) Device Information Service (DIS)
