It seems that the Asterisk server need know nothing about the Bluetooth dongle--it only cares if the user is in their office. An application can run on a pc in the office that simply decides if a device it's paired with is nearby or not. Probably want to have something that makes sure it's lost a few times over a minute or so. Then the application informs the Asterisk server (a web service?) that the individual is gone. I would expect that a single pc could keep track of several people. That said, I was thinking this was a simple "Bluetooth presence detection" issue, so I Googled that.
