3 POINT AND SHOOT (OBJECT PUSH) USAGE MODEL
3.1 Introduction
The IrDA Point and Shoot Usage Model is based on IrDA-Data that was initially defined and adopted in 1994. It is recommended for high speed, short range, line of sight, point-to-point wireless data transfer and is targeted at the IrDA 1.1 Fast Infrared Data (FIR) 4 Mbps components. The model also applies to IrDA 1.0 Serial Infrared Data (SIR), and will be the same model for the recently announced IrDA Very Fast Infrared (VFIR). This model is useful to over 50 million electronic devices including desktop, notebook and palm computers, printers, digital cameras, public phones/kiosks, cellular phones, pagers and other mobile devices.
3.2 Scope
The scope of the information presented in this section is based on the ability to exchange data between two IrDA-enabled devices. The focus of this Usage Model is on the user’s experience. Many data exchange operations can be reduced to simple object push events, such as printing, faxing, business card exchange, image transfer, and file transfer. The Point and Shoot Usage Model is the universal way to move data objects between IrDA-enabled devices. The key to universal object exchange is support for standard object types (for example, vCard, JPEG (Exif), and text). Almost all IrDA devices will support this capability including PCs, printers, PDAs, cameras, phones, watches, pagers, storage devices, and kiosks.

3.3 User Scenario
Many user scenarios are covered by Point and Shoot object push. The picture below captures the power and simplicity of this Usage Model.
In the following scenarios, the user can:
∙push a business card from his phone to another person’s PDA or PC.
∙pass the presentation stored on a PC to another PC.
∙print his business card from his watch.
∙fax a memo from his PDA.
∙store images or sound files on a portable storage device.
∙print or fax pictures directly from the storage device.
∙dial a pay phone simply by pushing a business card from his PDA.
∙send pictures over the Internet by pushing pictures from his camera to a kiosk or a cell phone.
The possibilities are endless and the user is control.
3.4 Interoperability
IrReady 2000 devices will have this Point and Shoot capability built-in. The use of standard object types will guarantee that objects are correctly understood on the other device. Devices will be able to alert the user when the other device will not understand an object being sent.
