Tiivistelmä
Tracking the location of a certain specific object has become very popular these days. There are various technologies used for location tracking like GPS, RFID, and Bluetooth. Among them, Bluetooth technology is a new and emerging technology for indoor(shot-range) locations tracking. The urge to learn new cutting-edge technology inspired me to choose this topic.
The main objective of this thesis was to track some specific object using the Bluetooth Low Energy(beacon) technology and to develop an app to demonstrate its use in the real world. The application was developed with Xcode. The Estimote Notification template was used and modified to get the desired out-put. Different online documentation was referred to understand the Bluetooth technology and gained a brief knowledge about BLE Beacons. Finally, the application was tested using iPhone6s.
A desk-info app was developed during this project to demonstrate the use of BLE beacons for getting information about the desk owner when the user approaches the particular desk. This app can be further improved by adding some other features like triggering some action within the application.
