A Bluetooth Adaptor for interoperability between Bluetooth and heterogeneous networks

Ubiquitous Environments are defined that any user can discover and execute any service of any device in anywhere and at any time. In these days, there are many ubiquitous services such as Jini, DPWS, HAVi, and so on. They use different communication protocols and need different execution environments. Thus any ubiquitous service cannot find and execute ubiquitous services. Now days, lots of Bluetooth devices are issued on market and many people use them. If Bluetooth device can use a heterogeneous service in other network, user has a chance to use a variety of services what they want. In this paper, the Bluetooth Adaptor is designed and implemented. The Bluetooth Adaptor provides the interoperability between web services and Bluetooth services.
