本論文以ZigBee無線個人區域網路(Wireless Personal Area Networks, WPAN)為基礎，設計並實作一數位資訊交換服務之組態管理系統機制(profile management scheme)。數位資訊交換服務主要由伺服器端(server side)及使用者端(user side)所組成，使用者端則通常為行動裝置；當伺服器端偵測到行動裝置成功連接至無線網路後，便派送數位資訊至行動裝置中，以提供使用者閱覽。組態為特定物件結構化資料之集合，其功能為便利管理個人化之資訊或作為系統運作時之參考依據。
　　數位資訊交換服務非常適合應用在特定的區域或是建築中，當使用者需要了解有關此區域的特定資訊，或是一區域的管理系統希望該區域內的使用者被告知特定資訊之時機。但現有的無線數位資訊交換系統，往往產生因使用者無法決定自己所希望閱讀之數位資訊，或使用者需要手動篩選及檢閱數位訊息之狀況，而造成閱讀及操作上之不便。故本論文提出在ZigBee無線網路環境下，基於上述之數位資訊交換服務設計並實作一組態管理機制，在伺服器端可利用服務組態(service profile)作為派送數位資訊之依據，而使用者端則透過行動裝置記錄使用者之喜好後產生個人組態(user profile)，並將個人組態回饋(feedback)至伺服器端，使伺服器端得以參考使用者之喜好後，在系統運作期間調整伺服器端之服務組態，進而達成伺服器端發送使用者所喜好的數位資訊之目的。
　　本論文除了測試及驗證此組態管理機之正確性外，並利用實作之成果測試與分析其效能。由測試結果得知，利用本論文所設計之組態管理機制，可有效地在系統運作期間調整伺服器端所發送之數位資訊及其數量，並擁有良好之效能。

　　This thesis presents the design and the implementation of the profile management scheme for digital information exchange service based on ZigBee Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPAN). Digital information exchange service consists of server side and user side. The sever side sends or broadcasts information to user side which, in general, is a mobile device. In such operating model, a profile, which is a collection of structured data, can act as an important role in customization and personalization between server side and user side.
　　Digital information exchange service nicely fits the requirement of information service in local area or building such as shopping mall. However, in most existing digital information exchange services, users are not able to express their preferences in receiving information and the server in general can not or does not take into account the preferences of users in delivering information. This thesis designs and implements a profile management scheme to address the above issues in digital information exchange services based on ZigBee WPAN. The profile management scheme intends reaching a balance between the server side and the user sides; server side refers to service profile before transferring the digital information and user side feeds back user profile, which is generated from monitoring user’s operations showing the preferences, to server side. The service profile is updated dynamically during system run time by the server from processing received user profiles. The goal is to broadcast as popular as possible information at next delivery.
　　The proposed profile management scheme is implemented for demonstration and evaluation. From the result, we can see the profile management scheme shows good performance and it can adjust the number and the sequence of transferred information during system run-time.
