Abstract

A customized Bluetooth enabled identification device for Bluetooth based identification, communication and tracking system is described. The device uses a customized Bluetooth hardware as identification of location is done through its 48 bit unique hardware address by providing password based security over identification.

Claims

1. Customized Bluetooth enabled identification device for Bluetooth based identification, communication and tracking system comprising of a customized Bluetooth hardware for identifying the approximate location (x,y) of the Bluetooth device wherein the identification is done through a 48 bit unique hardware address and by providing password based security over identification.

2. Customized Bluetooth enabled identification device as claimed in claim 1 wherein the said invention consists of an external system of a computer comprising of Pentium III or equivalent, an operating system comprising of Debian 4.0, bluetooth stack packages and a bluetooth dongle.

3. Customized Bluetooth enabled identification device as claimed in claim 1 wherein the said invention has a compact display to display the message from the master/other Bluetooth devices and instructions/directions or display the keys/buttons pressed.

4. Customized Bluetooth enabled identification device as claimed in claim 1 wherein the said invention has keys/buttons containing digits and alphabets and used to enter password when required or type message to be sent.

5. Customized Bluetooth enabled identification device as claimed in claim 1 wherein all the Bluetooth devices which are used for identification are registered once with the said invention

6. Customized Bluetooth enabled identification device as claimed in claim 1 wherein the said computer system detects the said Bluetooth dongle and is ready for identifying the said bluetooth devices in its zone.

7. Customized Bluetooth enabled identification device as claimed in claim 1 wherein the said computer system listens for the packets or message from any of the said Bluetooth devices in its zone that are turned on thus enabling the Bluetooth in the device.

8. Customized Bluetooth enabled identification device as claimed in claim 1 wherein the said invention detects the 48 bit hardware address and name of the said Bluetooth device and the identity of the person is verified.
