Abstract

Local positioning computing is an important factor of mobile applications. GPS serves well for most outdoor applications, however, it is not suitable for indoor positioning. Bluetooth is a technology with low-power, short-distance, wireless systems, can be used to construction a wireless services of indoor. The development of local positioning services based on the Bluetooth technology is discussed in this paper. Then we proposed a approach based on the positioning information exchanged between the master and slave devices within the Bluetooth network. Finally, a basic implementation of the proposed services based on the Bluetooth technology is presented.
