Beacon
Each shelf is equipped with a Blue Charm BC011-Multibeacon Bluetooth BLE iBeacon. The iBeacons transmit one-way Bluetooth signals which can be detected and ranged using an iPhone. Each beacon is assigned a UUID, a major key, and a minor key. The iPhone applicated detects the beacon’s Bluetooth signals and receives the UUID, major key, and minor key. These are the identifiers that are also stored in the Firestore database’s shelf object for searching. For the purposes of this project, we have one beacon being utilized by our system.
