Embodiment Construction

[0017] The following description relates to techniques and schemes for transmitting beacon messages using wireless communication protocols (eg, low energy wireless communication protocols). For example, compressed beacon messages may be transmitted from a beacon generating device to one or more mobile computing devices using the Bluetooth low energy wireless communication protocol. However, the techniques and approaches described herein may be applied to many types of systems in which beacon messages are transmitted wirelessly from one device to one or more other devices over a relatively short range.

[0018] The techniques and approaches described herein may also be applied to wireless communication protocols that may not be classified as low energy protocols. For example, the techniques and approaches described herein may be applied to transmitting beacon messages using other wireless communication protocols, such as Wi-Fi (eg, by transmitting beacon messages within beacon ...

Abstract

The present invention relates to low energy beacon coding. Techniques and tools are described for transmitting beacon messages using a wireless communication protocol, such as the Bluetooth low energy protocol. In some examples, the beacon message may be generated in a compressed format and included in the AdvData portion of the payload of the protocol data unit of the Bluetooth low energy advertisement channel packet. Beacon messages may be transmitted from fixed beacon-generating devices and broadcast to areas within the transmission range of the beacon-generating devices, while mobile computing devices (such as mobile phones) may receive beacon messages and may respond to The information in the device can be used to perform one or more actions, while saving energy used by the beacon generation device and the mobile computing device.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to techniques for implementing low energy beacon coding. Background technique [0002] Even when not in use by a user, mobile computing devices typically communicate with cellular networks on a regular basis to send and receive data for various purposes, such as updating the time, determining the location of the mobile computing device, or checking signal strength. These communications are typically initiated by the mobile computing device by sending a message to the network and receiving some form of response. These actions can use large amounts of energy and can reduce the battery life of the mobile computing device. [0003] To communicate with other mobile devices over relatively short distances, Bluetooth Wireless technologies have become increasingly popular that allow a mobile computing device to communicate wirelessly with another nearby device without having to route the communication through a network of remot...
