Mobile Terminal Beacon Detection via UUID Segmentation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Mobile terminals face limitations in registering identification information for multiple detection targets due to OS-imposed constraints, leading to incomplete service provision, such as in shopping malls with multiple beacons.
Innovation Solution
The system employs a server to manage and distribute localization information, allowing multiple detection targets to share a unified UUID, enabling mobile terminals to register and detect targets beyond OS registration limits by transmitting localization information when entering designated areas.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If mobile terminals register identification information for multiple detection targets, then service coverage is improved, but OS registration limits prevent complete service provision
Solution Approach 1:
The identification information is segmented into two types: UUIDs for OS-level registration (limited quantity) and localization information for application-level detection (unlimited quantity). This segmentation allows the system to bypass OS registration limits while maintaining service coverage for multiple detection targets.
Solution Approach 2:
Localization information acts as an intermediary between the limited UUID registration capacity and the need to detect multiple beacons. The mobile terminal registers a single UUID in the OS, then uses localization information (transmitted via Bluetooth Low Energy) to identify and differentiate multiple detection targets without requiring multiple OS-level registrations.
2Measurement precision
If mobile terminals use unique UUIDs for each detection target, then detection precision is improved, but registration capacity is exceeded
Solution Approach 1:
The system adds another dimension to identification by introducing localization information as a secondary identification layer. Instead of relying solely on UUIDs (first dimension), the system uses localization information containing beacon-specific data (second dimension) to achieve precise detection of multiple targets while maintaining a single OS registration.
3Adaptability or versatility
If mobile terminals register all beacon identification information, then complete service provision is achieved, but memory and processing resources are exceeded
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of storing complete identification information for all beacons in the mobile terminal, the system uses a single registered UUID as a template and receives localized identification information from beacons. This copying approach allows the terminal to identify multiple beacons without storing extensive identification data for each one, conserving memory resources while maintaining service completeness.
Data Source
AI summary
An information processing system configured to identify a detection target based on first identification information having a limit on number of registrations in an operating system of a first mobile terminal and second identification information that does not have the limit, the information processing system includes the first mobile terminal, the detection target, and an information processing apparatus.
