To provide services with a concept of anywhere, anytime, anyone, anything, and any device, ubiquitous and pervasive computing (UPC) becomes a popular paradigm. The purpose of UPC is to emerge computers into the real world to serve humans and the underneath infrastructure of UPC is called ubiquitous networks. In order to provide ubiquitous services (u-Service) which deliver useful information to service users without human intervention, this paper implements a proactive information delivery system using Bluetooth technology. Bluetooth is a low-powered networking service that supports several protocol profiles, most importantly file transfer. Combined together, ubiquitous computing and Bluetooth have the potential to furnish ubiquitous solutions (u-Solutions) that are efficient, employ simplified design characteristics, and collaboratively perform functions they are otherwise not capable. Thus, this paper first addresses the current Bluetooth technology. Then, it suggests and develops the proactive information delivery system utilizing Bluetooth and ubiquitous computing network concepts. The proactive information delivery system can be used in many ubiquitous applications such as ubiquitous commerce (u-Commerce) and ubiquitous education (u-Education).
