BLE Data Exchange Through Web Bluetooth And Physical Web

The advent of blue-tooth low energy (BLE) and its transmitters and receivers has led
to an immense transformation in IT and communication network. While Beacon
devices transmits the low energy to the proximate receivers, smart-phones, within
the Beacon transmission zone, captures the signals in order to work with the Beacon
devices.
The key feature of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) is its low power consumption that
makes it possible to power a small device with a tiny coin cell battery for ve to ten
years. Because of BLEs lower power consumption, quicker connection set-up and
larger number of potential connections, it is possible to enable mobile in-store
payment transactions using BLE.
Data exchange using BLE happen in one of the three ways. In Web-bluetooth, the
user with the help of smart-phone interacts with the Beacon device. Beacon
broadcasts the URL of the web page (which has application interface to work with the
Beacon device) to the users smart-phone. To pair with the Beacon, the smart-phone
receives the URL from the Beacon device, looks for the web page in the cloud and
connects with the device using the web pages java script. When the link is
established, smart-phone could control the functionality and the operation of the
device.
The Physical web is entirely about person to machine interaction. It bridges the web
and the physical devices. With the help of interaction on demand, people can walk up
and use any smart devices without the need for intervening mobile apps using the
direct URLs. Users could get the timing of the next arriving bus by placing their phone
near the Beacon at the bus stop. Beacon broadcasts URL, which is received by the
phone and it looks into cloud for the information about the next bus.
In the cloud pass through communication, user accesses information from the cloud
using the URL received from the broadcasting Beacon device. Connection to the
device is through the cloud application and not directly with the help of the smart
phone unlike the data exchange through web blue-tooth above.
On the whole, BLE has changed the way the wireless communication works.
Compared to classic Bluetooth, Bluetooth Smart is intended to provide considerably
reduced power consumption and cost while maintaining a similar communication
range.
