在本文中，我们通过考虑现实世界的用例场景，成功演示了低功耗蓝牙 (BLE) 在自动化物联网 (IoT) 接近解决方案中的作用。物联网中的设备必须低功耗才能延长其使用寿命。兼容 BLE 的 AltBeacon 非常适合此用途。我们开发了一个应用程序来展示如何将各种不同的技术集成在一起以形成物联网范例。我们使用固定的 AltBeacon 节点，它允许智能手机上运行的应用程序确定其与 AltBeacon 节点的接近度。一旦应用程序发现它位于 AltBeacon 节点附近，我们就可以通过 RESTful 服务控制各种支持 IP 的设备。我们提出了一个软件框架，可用于基于邻近度实现物联网自动化。该框架可以扩展以控制家庭自动化和工业系统的任何支持 IP 的设备。根据我们的实验，我们确定 1.5m 是最佳的接近范围。
In this paper, we successfully demonstrate the role of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) in automating the Proximity based solutions for Internet of Things (IoT) by considering a real world use case scenario. Devices in IoT must be low powered in order to extend their lifetime. BLE compatible AltBeacon is aptly suited for this purpose. We have developed an application to show how various disparate technologies are integrated together to form IoT paradigm. We use a fixed AltBeacon node which allows an application running on a smart phone to determine its proximity with respect to the AltBeacon node. Once the application finds that it is within the proximity of the AltBeacon node then we can control various IP enabled devices through RESTful Service. We have proposed a software framework which can be used to automate IoT based on the proximity. This framework can be extended to control any of the IP enabled devices for Home Automation and Industrial Systems. From our experiments we determined that 1.5m is an optimum range for proximity.
