Eddystone
Eddystone is an open source technology put forward by Google in 2015, and
there are three data types in Eddystone, Eddystone-UID, Eddystone-URL,
Eddystone-TLM.
Ultra-slim
Beacon
supports
Eddystone-UID
and
Eddystone-URL.
Eddystone-UID
The Eddystone-UID frame broadcasts an opaque, unique 16-byte Beacon ID composed of a
10-byte name space and a 6-byte instance. The Beacon ID may be useful in mapping a device
to a record in external storage. The namespace portion of the ID may be used to group a
particular set of beacons, while the instance ID identifies individual devices in the group. The
division of the ID into namespace and instance components may also be used to optimize BLE
scanning strategies, e.g. by filtering only on the namespace.
Eddystone-URL
The Eddystone-URL frame broadcasts a URL using a compressed encoding format in order to fit
more within the limited advertisement packet.
Once decoded, the URL can be used by any client with access to the internet. For example, if an
Eddystone-URL beacon were to broadcast the URL https://
www.ankhmaway.com.cn/,
then any client
that received this packet could choose to visit that url.
You can download eBeacon from App Store to scan Eddystone data.
Broadcast 3 different types of data simultaneously
iB003N supports itself to broadcast 3 different types of data. Usually, iB003N can broadcast iBeacon
Data, Eddystone Data, and acceleration value simultaneously under default setting. Users can set
Trigger Mode under these three channels, and all the 3 channels are definitely stand-alone.
iBeacon Data includes Proximity UUID, Major, Minor, Measured Power Value
,
and all these data can
be re-configured.
Eddystone Data can totally be configured which means users can configure the data to whatever
they need, or even do not obey the Eddystone protocol. For instance, if users need the Beacon to
broadcast Proximity UUID: EBEFD083-70A2-47C8-9837-E7B5634DF524 continuously and it
happens when the Beacon is in motion, they can configure the Eddystone
’s data to
ABCDEFAB-70A2-47C8-9837-E7B5634DF524 and trigger it to broadcast.
Under Acceleration value channel, users can configure the composition of data. The data includes
acceleration value, device MAC ID, Beacon’s direction value, battery level, temperature value, and
all these info can be added to broadcasting data.
