【 摘 要 】

With the popularity of smart phones, whether we are driving or walking, we are accustomed to using GPS for outdoor navigation. However, when you are in a library, shopping mall, etc., the GPS signal is blocked and the system will not be able to navigate for you. Then we need a technology that can provide indoor navigation. Beacon is a near-field sensing technology based on low-power Bluetooth technology that can be used to provide indoor positioning services for users with the Bluetooth capabilities of mobile phones. This paper describes the Beacon positioning technology principle and the application of Beacon-based location technology in American universities. In a university library, lab, conference room and other indoor environments, Beacon-based positioning technology can provide specific information transmission, indoor navigation, book recommendation based on big data analysis, and attendance check-in functions.
