BlueAd: A Location based Service using Bluetooth

Location based services are information and entertainment utility using specific controls for location and time available through mobile devices. One type of location-based service is near location-based service, in which local-range technologies such as Bluetooth, WLAN, and infrared technologies are used to match devices to nearby services. This application allows a person to access information based on his/her surroundings. According to the definition of near location-based service, we have approached a new application, which has strongly reflected the sensible execution of this topic, and we have developed a complete system, which has invented a pioneering vision in advertising media.

INTRODUCTION The computing industry has been swept by wireless technology in recent years and at the present. Computer users now expect the most freedom and flexibilities with their devices, beginning with portable computers, wireless devices and wireless networks. The consequence of this shift in demand is the creation of several different standards for wireless communication. Wi-Fi, Infrared and Bluetooth represent some of the more dominant technologies now a day [1]. The nice combination of affordability, portability and an appealing name suggest a bright future for Bluetooth despite its low bandwidth compared to other protocols. In the recent past a lot of intelligent services and applications have been implemented by using Bluetooth.
