Recently indoor and outdoor location tracking systems are operated in different ways. The indoor positioning method uses WiFi and BLE beacon positioning, and the outdoor positioning uses GPS and PDR. In this paper, it is a device to measure position by using it. It is used to check whether it is indoors or outdoors when measuring based on a smart phone, A automatic conversion method is needed. When using GPS in the room, it is difficult to distinguish the floor or space. We propose a method to solve this problem.

Recently, There is increasing interest in the IoT(Internet of Thing) as intelligent information service that enables communication between people and things based on internet. In particular the demand for indoor location-based services with the development of smart devices is rapidly increasing. If iBeacon of BLE(Bluetooth Low Energy) is made available to provide a basic signal for the indoor location information measurement then reliability of Indoor location information for unreliable signal data for a variety of reasons, such as signal interference is significantly lowered. In this paper, Proposes a technique for obtaining an effective and reliable location information via genetic operations in order to obtain reliable location information from the iBeacon signal information.

The interconnectedness of all things is continuously expanding. For example, bluetooth low energy (BLE) beacons are wireless radio transmitters that can send an identifier to nearby receivers and trigger a number of applications, from proximity marketing to indoor location-based service. iBeacon technology which is one of the newest technologies in the smart tourism field, is reckoned as being very useful for travelers in enhancing the experience with visiting places. However, there is consequently not much existing research yet about the connection between iBeacon technology and tourism destination. Considering that, this study analyzes the adoption of iBeacon in tourism destination, this study examine the interrelationships and feedback structures of key factors in iBeacon adoption. To serve the purpose, this study used system dynamics approach to develop a model of iBeacon adoption in tourism destination. The analysis results showed that the concept of 'Social Influences' is one of the significant predictors for individual's intention behavior to accept iBeacon, and word of mouth (WOM), subjective norm, privacy concern, and perceived usefulness are key factors influencing the iBeacon adoption.

Recently, Internet (IoT) and big data have been utilized in various fields such as medical, military and sports. Korea Nazarene University is a rehabilitation-welfare university with about 300 students with disabilities. This paper proposes a smart campus that provides the optimal path for the calculation of the route and risk avoidance using the BLE beacon and the 3-axis acceleration sensor when the students with disabilities move in the campus both indoors and outdoors. So we can manage the big data and sensor-based IoT technology for students with disabilities.

최근 IoT 기술의 발전과 함께 스마트홈 기술의 발달과 Drone을 사용하는 사용자가 꾸준히 늘어나고 있는 추세이다. 스마트홈 시스템의 보안카메라는 정해진 구역을 모니터링 할 수 밖에 없다는 단점을 가지고 있다. 이러한 한계를 극복하고자, 본 논문에서는 사용자가 입력한 목적지로 실내에 미리 배치된 Drone이 이동하여 해당 목적지를 비춰줄 수 있도록 실내 보안카메라 기술을 Drone으로 대체할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다. 목적지를 인식하기 위해 실내에 위치한 Drone과 목적지의 위치값을 알아야 한다. 실내에선 GPS 좌표값을 알 수 없기 때문에 BLE Beacon이 발생시키는 신호를 이용하여 상호간의 통신을 통해 위치, 거리를 계산하도록 한다. 이러한 방식을 적용시킨다면 매번 모니터링이 필요한 구역에 새로 보안카메라를 설치하거나 배선공사하는 불편함 없이 하나의 Drone 하드웨어를 이용한 전방위 모니터링이 가능해 질 것으로 기대한다.

Inventory inspection is an important task to eliminate the inconsistency between real assets and inventory management systems, and it is performed periodically at the site. In the case of a large-sized property, it is mainly managed in an outdoor workshop or a warehouse. However, due to the large area of the outdoor area, it is relatively difficult to identify the quantity and location of the property and is also vulnerable to theft. To solve this problem, we proposed a method and system for performing a warehouse inventory inspection using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and Bluetooth low energy (BLE) beacons. The proposed method has the following advantages. First of all, if we carry out inventory inspection by utilizing UAV, we can minimize user's effort compared to existing methods. The method of recognizing the asset by attaching the BLE beacon is more costly than using the existing RFID technology, but it is advantageous because the recognition distance is increased and the battery life of the tag is drastically increased. We also designed a BLE beacon reader for the system and implemented a prototype to show the feasibility of the proposed system. The prototype is based on Genuino 101, which is a kind of arduino, and adds HM-10 and Neo-6m modules to provide Bluetooth and GPS functions. The BLE beacon reader was tested in outdoor, and attached in drone. We also developed an inventory checking system based on the web to display results of inventory checking. The proposed approach enables the users to automate the operation of inventory checking on an outdoor warehouse.

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.

Indoor location system has been used Wi-Fi to get a location. After the development of BLE(Bluetooth Low Energy), the interest in the method of a indoor positioning had been move on. It has more advantages than using Wi-Fi. Easy installation, low power consumption, low signal interference and changeable setting(Advertising interval, tx power, etc.). These things can improve efficiency or accuracy in a indoor positioning system. For this reason, recent indoor positioning system uses BLE rather than Wi-Fi. Accordingly, error factors of BLE beacon based indoor positioning should be studying for high accuracy of indoor positioning. In this research, set up few experiment scenarios and keep a close watch on how technological, environmental factor is affecting positioning accuracy. When a application uses largest signal strength to get the indoor location, the mean error of experimental results was decreased compare to using received signal strength in real-time. The result was same when the application applied average and standard deviation to get the indoor location. Changing advertising interval had an effect on the mean error of indoor positioning. Short advertising interval makes the lower mean error than large advertising interval.
