An  introduc+on  to  Beacons

Beacons  See  the  world  in  a  whole  new  way!

It’s  not  a  chip.  It’s  not  a  technology.  

It’s  a  new  way  to  experience  the  world.  We  call  it  shopbeekn!

We’ll  show  you  why  it  ma?ers  to  bring  online  and  offline  

together.

Bluetooth  LE:  What  is  it?  

•  Bluetooth  LE  is  a  specifica7on  (Not  to  be  confused  with  Bluetooth).  

•  The  specifica7on  is  used  to  create  Bluetooth  LE  chipsets  -­‐  e.g.  contact  chipsets.  

•  The  chipsets  are  embedded  in  devices  -­‐  e.g.  Es7mote  devices.

Bluetooth  LE:  What  does  it?  

•  Bluetooth  LE  devices  transmit  small  packets  of  data.  Which  wake  up  a  “listener”  to  let  it  know  that  it’s  there.  

•  Which  then  lets  you  calculate  proximity  to  the  Beacon  and  show  relevant  informa7on  to  the  visitor.

Bluetooth  LE:  Where  is  it?  

Bluetooth  LE  is  embedded  in  things  like    •  Watches  •  Tags  •  Detectors  •  …  •  And  Beacons

A  Beacon:  What  is  it?  

iBeacon  is  an  indoor  posi7oning  system  that  Apple  Inc.  calls  “a  new  class  of  low-­‐powered,  low-­‐cost  transmiMers  that  can  no7fy  nearby  iOS  7  devices  of  their  presence.”  They  can  also  be  used  by  the  Android  opera7ng  system.  The  technology  enables  an  iOS  device  or  other  hardware  to  calculate  proximity  to  the  Beacon  -­‐  so  that  relevant  push  no7fica7ons  can  be  sent.

A  Beacon:  What  is  inside?  

Page 10: An#introduc+on#to Beacons - Old Dominion UniversityIt’s%nota chip. It’s%nota technology.# It’sa new#way to experience#the#world. We#call#it#shopbeekn!

Remember  NFC?  

…  near  field  communica7on  works  only  for  smartphones  and  similar  devices  to  establish  radio  communica7on  within  proximity  of  a  few  inches.  

 

Beacons  have  a  much  greater  reach  and  are  more  flexibel.  

Page 11: An#introduc+on#to Beacons - Old Dominion UniversityIt’s%nota chip. It’s%nota technology.# It’sa new#way to experience#the#world. We#call#it#shopbeekn!

But  did  you  know  there  are  

Millions  of  Bluetooth  LE  Beacons  in  

the  world?  

Page 12: An#introduc+on#to Beacons - Old Dominion UniversityIt’s%nota chip. It’s%nota technology.# It’sa new#way to experience#the#world. We#call#it#shopbeekn!

They’re  called  phones!  

…  or  tablets.    

Because  your  mobile  device  is  a  Beacon  

too.  

Page 13: An#introduc+on#to Beacons - Old Dominion UniversityIt’s%nota chip. It’s%nota technology.# It’sa new#way to experience#the#world. We#call#it#shopbeekn!

Wow!  

•  Phones  (and  tablets)  can  finally  “see”  what  they’re  close  to.  

•  It’s  low  energy:  your  phone  doesn’t  lose  baMery  and  a  beacon  can  last  for  years  without  being  plugged  in.  

•  It’s  cross-­‐plaRorm:  all  the  major  phone  plaRorms  have  Bluetooth  LE  capabili7es  (although  some  s7ll  need  to  turn  those  capabili7es  “on”).

But  ...  hold  on!  

I  can  already  use  my  phone  to  figure  out  where  I  am.  

 What’s  the  big  deal?  

Page 15: An#introduc+on#to Beacons - Old Dominion UniversityIt’s%nota chip. It’s%nota technology.# It’sa new#way to experience#the#world. We#call#it#shopbeekn!

Ah  yes  –  GPS.  

On  the  one  hand,  you  can  think  of  Bluetooth  LE  as  an  ‘extension’  of  loca7on  technology:    •  It’s  a  lot  like  GPS  but  also  uses  a  lot  less  baMery.  •  GPS  doesn’t  work  very  well  once  you  get  inside.  

Bluetooth  LE  does.

So  what?  

But  if  you  think  of  Bluetooth  LE  as  “indoors/low  baMery  GPS”  

you’re  missing  

the  bigger  picture.  

Page 17: An#introduc+on#to Beacons - Old Dominion UniversityIt’s%nota chip. It’s%nota technology.# It’sa new#way to experience#the#world. We#call#it#shopbeekn!

Please  –  come  close  to  me!  

GPS  is  a  loca7on  technology.  Bluetooth  LE  is  a  proximity  technology.  

 Which  means  that  even  if  the  Beacon  moves  

you’ll  s7ll  be  able  to  find  it*.    

*  Like  a  store  shelf  say.  Or  a  register.  Or  people.

Ohhh  –  I  see!  

Page 19: An#introduc+on#to Beacons - Old Dominion UniversityIt’s%nota chip. It’s%nota technology.# It’sa new#way to experience#the#world. We#call#it#shopbeekn!

Why  it  ma?ers.  

So  it  may  be  a  young  technology,  but  it’s  big  news.    

We  can  now  deliver  content  and  experiences  to  users  based  on  precise  proximity  to  things  

in  the  physical  world.    

Just  think  of  all  the  things  you’re  “near”  in  a  day.

Did  you  no+ce?  

There  is  no  offline.    

The  physical  world  is  the  new  

digital  channel!
