A Bluetooth-based Proximity Sensing and Object-tracking System

This paper proposes the concept overall concept of a bluetooth-based proximity IoT device. Its methodology is introduced along with a working prototype. Potential applications and viability for data analysis is also discussed. In summary, such a device accomplishes the goal of closerange information communication in an effective, secure and reliable way through the use of beacons utilizing the BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) Technology, a variety of different receiver devices that has native support for Bluetooth as well as a database used for data storage and retrieval. The biggest advantage of this technology is that proximity-based Internet has virtually endless potential for applications in the real world, including healthcare, retail and industrial manufacturing.
