Abstract(in English) We propose a Bluetooth-based indoor proximity sensing method using Bluetooth device discovery functionality. Indoor proximity sensing techniques are becoming increasingly important in location-aware applications such as analyzing and monitoring users' activities in factories and/or office environments. In this paper, we consider the practical applicability of Bluetooth-based proxmity sensing technologies in nursing environments as an example application field, and discuss the design requirements of detecting 1) room-level proxmity between people and 2) mutual proxmity between moving people and objects. We show that the proximity information exchange between several devices can be updated at a rate of more than 1Hz by effectively choosing the timing parameters of Blue-tooth inquiry functionality. Empirical results of evaluating Receiver Signal Strength Indigator (RSSI) at various distances between Bluetooth devices are also shown.
