Bluetooth hotspots for smart spaces interaction

Abstract

We may find in the market many smart space applications and projects which are using Bluetooth services as mechanism for user-interaction. However, their ad-hoc implementation come as a limitation to their deployment in a global interactive model. This survey focuses on the requirements of such applications, systematizing their interaction models and presents the main key design of a middleware component for Bluetooth interaction-based pervasive applications, running on Linux routers.
