藍芽(Bluetooth)無線通訊傳輸已成為現今最熱門的新興技術。然而，在半導體 及 TFT-LCD產業尚未全面性的導入此項技術。本研究提出一套架構在通用型嵌入式裝置(GED)上之藍芽無線通訊傳輸方式，以期能讓嵌入於GED內部之預測保養功能模組在設備尚未發生故障之前，即可預測出設備未來可能發生異常等現象，並將此預測資訊，利用無線通訊方式即時傳送至機台維修人員手持個人數位助理(Personal Digital Assistant, PDA)上，以採取必要之防範措施，進而有效提高設備的使用效能(Utility)及妥善率(Availability)。
本研究之主要目的即在於運用藍芽無線通訊技術結合GED裝置，並對此架構進行設計與實作，以取代原本之有線網路通訊傳輸方式，並藉由維修人員之PDA，直接監控機台狀況。本研究之成果可作為自動化生產設備之實際運用，除可將異常預測訊息即時傳送至維修人員，大幅提昇設備維護效率及妥善率外，亦可有效降低人力成本。

　Bluetooth communication has become the emerging technology nowadays; however, this technology has not been overall implemented to semiconductor and TFT-LCD industries. This work proposes a framework for Bluetooth communication method of generic embedded device (GED). Such a framework enables the prognostics maintenance function module embedded in GED to prognose the equipment errors　and wirelessly send the prognosis results to maintenance engineer’s personal digital assistant (PDA) in real-time. The maintenance engineers can take the necessary precaution actions, and thus the utility and availability of the equipment are effectively improved.
This work is aimed at applying Bluetooth communication technology to GED, and further the framework is designed and developed to replace the existing wired network communication. With the Bluetooth wireless communication technology, the maintenance engineers are able to monitoring the equipment via PDA. The achievements of this work are practically applicable to equipment automation; besides, the real-time transformation of alarm messages to maintenance engineers not only greatly improves the utility and availability of the equipment but also significantly lowers down the cost of manpower.
