 I thought of this after I sent the message...

 Blue Tooth works on a serial port(USB) so it should just connect to our 
built-in serial port?
 If so, then there needs to be a way to identify where the signal is coming 
from and the device it is supposed to go to.
 So some type of software or data should be sent along with a packet or 
whatever.
