Bluetooth 4.0BLE iBeacon apps on ios-Indoor positioning [original, multi-image]

I installed a lot of Bluetooth 4.0 BLE software on the App store on my mobile phone. AirLocate is Apple's iBeacon testing software, and Locate iBeacons is a third-party software, to achieve iBeacon distance positioning and calibration, let's take a look at the distance display and indoor positioning implemented by Locate iBeacons.

 

[1]. Install Locate iBeacons on your mobile phone. Your iphone must be at least 4s or above, and the system must be above ios7.0. The iphone 4s ios7.0 and later systems will support Bluetooth 4.0BLE.

[2]. Click "Locate iB", as shown in the following figure,

 

[3]. Click Locate iBeacons To Go To The following page. If your base station has been opened, the distance between your mobile phone and the iBeacon base station is displayed, this distance may vary with different hardware devices, so calibration is required. See how to calibrate next. Here, why is the distance displayed as soon as the software is opened, mainly because the UUID released by Apple is added by default in the software. We can also modify the uuid of the base station, then add the uuid to the software to implement this function, which requires further development.

 

[4], calibration, click the first line to go to the next step.

 

[5], the calibration prompt, put your iphone at a distance of about 1 meter from the iBeacon base station, press Calibrate, and maintain for 30 seconds to 1 minute, the process is shown below.

 

 

[6] After the calibration is completed, the following figure shows that the focus calibration is complete. You can take your iphone everywhere. The magic iBeacon will tell you the distance, if more than three iBeacon base station signals can be received, real indoor positioning can be achieved.

 

[7], the display distance is as follows.

 

[8]. Finally, iBeacon's simple application on ios is like this. In fact, there are a lot of new technologies in it. Apple is now vigorously promoting iBeacon, that is, the Bluetooth 4.0 BLE indoor positioning technology, there are too many places available for this thing, parking Space Positioning, library positioning, supermarkets, playgrounds, airport Seats, entrances, Football World Cup stadiums, etc. You can also think of Apple, which you did not expect, and can also be used for mobile payments, this is why Apple's mobile phones have never used NFC, at present, the United States has installed iBeacon base stations in Apple stores and many playgrounds, and many app developers have targeted this unimaginable cake. Let's wait.

[9] In addition, we know that Apple's AirLocate is open-source, and the sample code released by Apple on WWDC2013 is available. However, the Locate iBeacons used in this article are not open-source, however, you can download free apps from the App store for free. I have modified the source code at hand, but it is not released to the App store. After all, it is troublesome to release the App store, we still give the best performance to the iBeacon base station. I will issue more iBeacon-related tutorials later. If you are interested, pay attention to the updates to my csdn blog. Let's witness the growth of iBeacon.
