iBeacon is very easy to use with the iOS operating system. This technology allows an iOS device or other hardware to send push notifications to nearby iOS devices.

Let’s start with a very simple aspect: pronunciation. Beacon reads “Bicon “; nothing to do, therefore, with the bacon that the British enjoy for breakfast along with scrambled eggs. Beyond the kitchen and accents, however, the most important factor you need to keep in mind to know the beacons, what they are and how they work is undoubtedly the technology.

BLE is easy to find on Bluetooth 4.0 devices with dual-mode support. A potential application is a location-aware, context-aware, small wireless sensor that can pinpoint a user’s location in a store. iBeacons can send notifications of nearby items for sale or items that customers can search for, and it can enable point-of-sale (POS) payments without the customer having to open their wallet.

Why ibeacon is common?

It uses Bluetooth low energy with distance detection technology. It is to transmit a unique identifier, commonly called UUIDs. Moreover, it interacts with compatible applications (Apps) or operating systems (OS).

It is to identify a location or trigger an action on the device, such as Check-in on a social network. The beacon can be in different formats, such as small coin-sized portable devices.

iBeacons History

iBeacon can be common in many places...

ibeacon includes the ability to create a smart tour of the museum, with an app. This app shows the history and information of nearby artifacts on a mobile device. It is also common by customers and merchants.

Moreover, it is to assist in locating customers in stores and sending notifications of discounts and product listings. It shows that customers are interested in, and has the ability to replace the next generation of products.

Beacon technology helps in the traditional banking system?

Traditional payment systems, cash, check and credit card. It is common for precise indoor positioning, which is different from GPS common for outdoor positioning. Moreover, it is rolling out the app outside of Apple, starting January 1, 2014.

It comes with a selection from the Giant Eagle and Safeway stores. Moreover, it supports iBeacons: iOS 7 devices, like iPhone 4S or later (iPhone 5, iPhone 5S, iPad3, iPad mini, iPad retina).

Importance of ibeacon in 2022

2022 will be the year of the “ibeacon”, which we can roughly call the beacon. Many companies in all fields are starting. It is to deploy Bluetooth hotspots to tell smartphones the exact location where their points are. Simply it is through which an application can behave relative to that particular location.

Apple’s beacons protocol, which quietly appeared in 2013, has spawned a new “village” of brand-name manufacturers and tested its implementation in:

  • retail stores
  • stadiums
  • and more.

Another, opening a new way for customers to interact, transact and find information in the most convenient way, right on their smartphones.

Is there any more advanced technology than iBeacon?

But the technology goes beyond what Apple’s iBeacons are aiming for, at least for now, meaning it can do more than just track shoppers to provide information on specials and promotions. For example, your iPhone or iPad recognizes the location at the check-in counter, and they can use a beacon to show you a map with directions and information where you need to go and come, in the mother tongue.

How to detect beacon signals with mobile?

The Galaxy S5 can use an in-car beacon to know it’s your car, not someone else’s, and send a signal to open the car door. The Nexus 5 can use a beacon to determine where in the grocery store you are and compare your shopping list. It is to see if the item you’re looking for is available in that area. You can get similar information on GPS, but only in areas that give you a clear view from satellite signals.

Simple beacons and iBeacons provide background information

At least to date, there are about a dozen companies that use BLE waves to identify nearby BLE devices (like iPhones) and send a unique user ID (UUID) to that device. The beacons are about the size of a tennis ball, cost about 20 USD, the battery can be common once for a year or so, and easy to leave anywhere in the store. The price of the beacon may even drop to $10 as it becomes more popular in the future.

How to connect the phone with ibeacon?

iPhone and iPad connecting to beacons is quite simple. iOS tracks the beacons it recognizes and compares them to Apple’s UUID database to see which apps the beacons associate with, then sends notifications to the app (if installed on an iPhone or iPad) that it’s recognized related beacons. Because that application must install Apple’s iBeacons API to receive signals on the operating system.

Disadvantage of iBeacon

This is the main distinguishing feature of beacons over GPS: beacons do not send device geolocation data, but device identification data. Then it’s up to you to specify what the app will do when it detects a beacon nearby. The app then uses that UUID to figure out what to do. For example, a museum might design a UUID beacon in a “prehistoric dinosaur” room to indicate a beacon to the museum’s app.

How to operate ibeacon for beginners?

What do you know about beacon technology?

Do you really know about beacons, what are these devices that are being talked about more and more often in recent years? Answering this question is really important if you want to fully understand what are the main advantages of this technology and its potential.

Summary

In fact, it is in this area that I recommend you look if you want to know the characteristics of the hardware devices common in the IoT solutions and if you decide to investigate the ways in which these objects are able to communicate and transfer a lot of different information to users.
