Abstract

Mobile Commerce as know as M-Commerce getting more and more important with the fast development of the World Wide Web. The idea is to conduct commerce, using a mobile device, such as mobile phones and PDAs while on the move. In this paper, we introduce the system called BlueBus, which is aim to provide localized and Bluetooth based mobile data services. User can enjoy those services for free by using their hand phones. The system consists of three components --- the Administration Server, the on-board device and the end-user mobile devices. Several mobile services have been developed in the system and more services can be added into the system in the future development. The access points of the system named BlueBox may be installed in various public places, such as public bus, MRT trains, shopping malls, airports and so on.
