eddystone

I'm trying to build an access control system using BLE beacons and a web server. A mobile phone will transmit a beacon signal near the gate and the beacon will be forwarded to the server to decide whether this person should pass. The problem is transmitting a beacon without encryption is not safe, i need to encrypt the beacons. The question is: is there an API for web applications to resolve the Eddystone EID encrypted beacon without using google web service? Another question: is the Eddystone EID a good idea for encrypting the beacon for access control (regarding security, time, etc..)?

Here is a code I use to detect Eddystone using iPhone iOS 9: - (void)viewDidLoad { [super viewDidLoad]; if ([CLLocationManager locationServicesEnabled]) { _locationManager = [[CLLocationManager alloc] init]; self.locationManager.delegate = self; self.locationManager.pausesLocationUpdatesAutomatically = NO; [self.locationManager requestAlwaysAuthorization]; NSUUID *uuid = [[NSUUID alloc] initWithUUIDString:@"f7826da6-4fa2-4e98-8024-bc5b71e0893e"]; NSString *bundleIdentifier = [[NSBundle mainBundle] bundleIdentifier]; CLBeaconRegion *beaconRegion = [[CLBeaconRegion alloc] initWithProximityUUID

I am working with kontakt.io Bluetooth eddystone UID beacons and an android application using the alt-beacon library (running on a Samsung Galaxy S5, although I doubt that is relevant). I've done a bunch of trials under different conditions and am working towards determining the feasibility of high-accuracy tracking via trilateration of multiple beacon signals. On multiple occasions I have noticed a regular oscillation of the beacon's RSSI being detected by the android device. Here is one of the more extreme examples. As you can see, the perceived signal strength (RSSI) fluctuates between 3

I read that Nexus6 and Nexus9 can only act as beacon in eddystone format. Currently I do not have either of the phones. I have an iphone, can we use aniphone to broadcast eddystone format? Unfortunately, this is not possible. Apple restricts the type of advertisements that can be sent out by its CoreBluetooth APIs. While you can broadcast an advertisement with the same GATT Service UUID as required for Eddystone, you cannot attach the necessary data. This is because the CBAdvertisementDataServiceDataKey that associates service data to an advertisement is read-only on iOS. You can't set the

I have created an android application to scan for BLE using Bluetooth LEscanner. Now that I need my app to identify if a beacon belongs to iBeacon or Eddystone. So far, I'm successful in determining UUID,MajorId,MinorId of ibeacon by parsing the AD frame. It's relatively easy to read the bytes of the advertisements if you know the byte offsets of all the fields. Two code snippets below show you how you can parse these out. The first shows how you can do this in your own onLeScan callback using the Android Beacon Library , and the second shows how you can roll your own from scratch. To explain

We can make iOS devices act as a iBeacon transmitter and We can locate nearby iBeacons if we know their Proximity UUID. With Google's Proximity Beacon API, It's possible to configure and register real Beacon hardware, and we can locate them with Nearby Messaging API. But is it possible to make iOS devices to broadcast as Eddystone Beacons ? And it needs to be discoverable by apps that scan Eddystone beacons. Thanks in advance. Unfortunately, this is not possible. While iOS devices can advertise Bluetooth LE service advertisements(which are the advertisement type used by Eddystone) using

I'll describe my setup : I have made an android application that simulates Eddystone beacon. I was able to detect the Eddystone beacon on my phone using Beacon Toy app from PlayStore. But the thing is , from the last time I checked , the MAC ID displayed has changed. I can identify its the same beacon because of the namespace and instance id being the same but under different MacID. Could someone suggest what is happening here ? I was under the impression that MacID stays constant. Yes, Android transmitters randomize their bluetooth MAC address. This is nothing specific to Eddystone, but to
