My son got a 20 dollar Hype smartwatch and paired it with our computer, he could use it to play Windows media player even though there was nothing in the manual that said I could pair it with Windows.

How do I do what Windows media player is doing in my own applications? (not sure where I'd be starting - I think I'd be programming in C++, C# or Delphi). I found this supporting Bluetooth Event Notifications MSDN article. I'm guessing it's the right place to start.

There's no manual or spec that comes with the watch, whenever I search for anything related, I wind up at a Chinese website. But, it's my assumption, that Bluetooth can interface with something that I program in a way totally ignorant of the device, only knowing I'm pushing "next, prev, play, pause, or moving the jog dial".

So, what is that API called, and how do I get get the appropriate hooks in a Windows application?
