This study analyzed the features and various applications of Bluetooth beacon technology for utilization in the mining and construction industries. Through a literature survey, the concept and version-specific features of Bluetooth were reviewed, and representative types of the Bluetooth beacon-based service and its real-world applications in other fields were analyzed. Although a few previous studies that used the Bluetooth Classic (the old version of Bluetooth technology) in the mining industry have been reported, no mine site could be found where the Bluetooth beacon technology was utilized. In the construction industry, this study could find a site where the Bluetooth beacon technology was used to improve the haulage works of construction raw materials. Since the Bluetooth beacon technology has low power consumption and is easy to integrate with smartphones, it will be effectively utilized to improve the productivity and safety in the mining and construction industries.

Recent with the progress of smart devices, there is an increasing demand for indoor location-based services. For this reason, research on indoor positioning system using a iBeacon techniques added to BLE(Bluetooth Low Energy) specifications of Bluetooth4.0 has been actively. However, RSSI signal used for the measurement of the distance between the iBeacon and the receiving terminal has the problems of inaccurate distance measurement to environmental factors such as obstacles. In this paper, we propose an implemented indoor positioning technique to use filtering technology enhance the reliability of the RSSI signal and the broadcasting signal of the terminal access point function.

In this paper, we propose a different kind of Beacon signals transmission and receipt scheme to express more information in existing iBeacon. Because the user can only use Major and Minor of iBeacon, information available for the user is limited to 4byte. The proposed scheme makes it possible to use more information by transmitting consecutively a different kind of Beacon signals that major and minor are different. When it comes to using more information of iBeacon, it is possible to recognize people and objects using iBeacon and utilization range of iBeacon is widened further. Also, we verify operation of the proposed scheme through application implementation.

Recently, There is Increasing interest in the intelligent services using the Internet of Things indoor positioning technologies that enable the communication of information between the objects. In particular Applications and demand for the indoor location based services using smart devices has made active. An indoor location positioning technology for this purpose BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) has been a lot of interest in technology increases. If iBeacon of BLE(Bluetooth Low Energy) is made available to provide a signal for the indoor location information measurement then reliability of Indoor location information is lowered by signal interference. In this paper, Proposes a technique for data acquisition method for obtaining reliable position information and reliable position information calculation method from signal information data of iBeacon.

Currently, many households raise their companion animals for personal reasons. In this environment, the companion animal is left alone in the home, the owner of the companion animal is increasingly curious about the behavior pattern of the companion animal left alone, and there are many devices that can solve this question. In this paper, we have designed and implemented a Bluetooth-based slave device (beacon in this paper) and a router capable of connecting to a broadband network that can observe behavior patterns of companion animals by using advanced ICT technology. The Bluetooth router designed and implemented in this paper installs a beacon in the home, receives the beacon signal from the device and the beacon installed by the companion animal, and transmits the moving line of the companion animal to the owner of the companion animal through the broadband network, so that it can be confirmed in real time through the app for the provided smart phone.

Bluetooth 4.0 is a low energy near communication technology. It is a suitable for Internet of Things(IoT), that is, all devices using small electric power consume are connected because power consumption is more lowing and brodening for application scope against bluetooh 3.0. Therefore in this paper, a present situation of beacon technologies are investigated and a design principle of restaurant advertisement and order system using beacon technology are presented. A beacon which is tranceiver based on bluetooth 4.0 technology and bluetooth 4.0 receiver device design is showed and design method of smart-phone interlocking these devices is presented. Also it shows that this design method is very useful for the Restaurant Advertisement & Order Commercial System production.

Bluetooth has been developed to be applied over the course of several versions in different environments. Especially low is moving to address the constraints, it gives a high utilization rate is faster than the Zigbee wireless LAN communication. To gather information on children's environmental copper transition to multiple versions. There is one limitation of Bluetooth requirements to effectively apply the information collected by Bluetooth. At the same time need to collect several information actions, Bluetooth can not connect to one of only seven Slave Master. In this paper, in order to take advantage of the many benefits of Bluetooth to gather the information by operating the Bluetooth operates in Beacon deliver packets of 168 bits, and the pairing between the master and slave unnecessarily generate a regular signal a large number of connections simultaneously Information We consider how to apply the effective policy that can be collected.

특정 인터넷 서비스는 그 성격에 따라 제한된 위치에서만 서비스를 제공하도록 설계한다. 이러한 시스템 구조에서 사용자의 위치정보는 서비스 접근을 통제하는 과정에서 핵심적으로 사용되며 LSB(Location Based Service), WPS(Wifi Positioning System)와 같은 기술로 제안되었다. 그러나 기존 인증 기법은 대상이 일정하지 않은 불특정 다수의 사용자가 접근하기에 적합하지 않고, 서비스 공급자의 무선 AP를 이용하기 때문에 과도한 서버 부하에 취약하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해서 Beacon을 이용한 위치기반 인증 시스템을 제안한다. Beacon이란 Bluetooth 기술을 기반으로 근거리 무선 통신 기기이다. 사용자가 서비스 접근 권한을 획득하기 위해 인증 서버에서 요구하는 인증 코드는 BLE(Bluetooth Low Energy)를 사용하는 Beacon이 브로드캐스팅한다. 즉, 사용자는 Beacon이 BLE로 브로드캐스팅한 데이터를 수신할 수 있는 물리적인 범위까지 접근해야 인증 절차를 수행할 수 있다.

Beacon is a signal device, which mainly used to support the safety of the locate and operation of a watercraft and aircraft. Recently, the IT sector BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) also made possible to operate with less energy over several months using a beacon standards are applied. In addition, the location-based services and technologies using BLE Beacon has attracted attention. However, there is the problem that by using only the position location Beacon devices when high error rate can be measured accurate position. Therefore, in this paper, combines WiFi and Beacon based on Smartphone. Also propose an indoor positioning algorithm reduces the error rate of the position location value.

In this study, we analyzed the variations in the received signal strength index (RSSI) measured from Bluetooth beacons based on the strength and propagation direction of Bluetooth low energy (BLE) signal. Using a smartphone, we performed field experiments to investigate RSSI variations in the BLE signal transmitted by non-directional and directional beacons in an amethyst mine. In case of non-directional beacons, as the distance between the Bluetooth beacon and smartphone decreased, the RSSI increases, whereas as the BLE signal strength increased, the RSSI average gradually increased. The mean value of RSSI measured from the directional beacons was changed without relation to the facing angle between the Bluetooth beacon and smartphone. The results of this study can be used as basic data for developing a Bluetooth beacon-based proximity warning system for underground mines.
