The goal of this project is to build a prototype application for a mobile device with Bluetooth Sensor. The idea with the application is to test if it is possible to scan for other Bluetooth equipped mobile devices on request and report the results back to a server. This creates dynamic relations between different devices without direct communication between the devices. The software is implemented as a way of distributing information to and from the user to build up relations and to track which mobile devices is close to the user. This will be implemented in a Web Services application that controls the Bluetooth scanning and distributes information to the user, in this case: service name, text information and a link to a web page is included in the solution. The information is based on the Bluetooth sensor information reported from the user to the server and give the user dynamic access to information. The information in the Web Service is possible to update at any time from the server with an open data connection between the client and the server in this solution.
