Users ’ Position Detection Based On Bluetooth Technology Supported Of M-Commerce Applications

While wireless technologies continue to evolve, they are met in many different applications. Among other, Bluetooth is used today for user positioning as well. However, user positioning applications are focused mainly on providing users with exact location information, making them computational heavier and often demanding specialized software and hardware from mobile devices. In this paper we present a user positioning application intended for use with m-commerce. The application is based exclusively on Bluetooth. It uses a simple and efficient positioning method for locating users and sending them m-commerce based messages, which can be received without additional software or hardware installed. We focus on implementation issues and evaluate our application after testing it. Finally, conclusions are extracted and future work is proposed
