“…In [11] the proposal was a new system framework using BLE Beacon to detect the user location and conduct power management in the home through a mobile device application. Due to the BLE Beacon may produce the multipath effect, this study uses the positioning algorithm and hardware configuration to reduce the error rate.…”

One of the frequent situations which arise in a health center, which creates many inconveniences to the users of health services, is the process of appointments to the various specialized issue. Although it has been designed and implemented many channels of care to obtain appointments, this is still a crucial problem; on the other hand, it is known that the use of mobile devices becomes more usually in the daily activities of the people. In this paper we propose the prototype of a mobile application that allows users a fast and autonomous way to obtain an appointment in the speciality that they require using external devices called Beacons with Bluetooth Low Energy technology, as well as, manage more efficiently resources are there in the health center.

In recent years, smart homes have begun to use various sensors to detect the location of users indoors. However, such sensors may not be stable, resulting in high detection error rates. Thus, how to improve indoor positioning accuracy has become an important topic. This study explored Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) Beacon indoor positioning for smart home power management. A novel system framework using BLE Beacon was proposed to detect the user location, and to perform power management in the home through a mobile device application. Since the BLE Beacon may produce a multipath effect, this study used the positioning algorithm and hardware configuration to reduce the error rate. Location fingerprint positioning algorithm and filter modification were used to establish a positioning method for facilitating deployment, and to reduce the required computing resources. The experiments included an observation of the Received Signal Strength Indicators (RSSI) and selecting filters and a discussion of the relationship between the characteristics of the BLE Beacon signal accuracy and the number of the BLE Beacons deployed in the observation space. The BLE Beacon multilateration positioning was combined with the In-Snergy intelligent energy management system for smart home power management. The contribution of this study is to allow users to enjoy smart home services based on their location within the home using a mobile device application.

“…Obreja et al [145] also analyze the performance of iBeacons for indoor localization and conclude that beacons are energy efficient. Ke et al [146] also rely on fingerprinting and filter modifications to improve the localization accuracy of iBeacons. The authors primarily emphasize on the use of iBeacons for smart homes and intelligent systems.…”

Indoor localization has recently witnessed an increase in interest, due to the potential wide range of services it can provide by leveraging Internet of Things (IoT), and ubiquitous connectivity. Different techniques, wireless technologies and mechanisms have been proposed in the literature to provide indoor localization services in order to improve the services provided to the users. However, there is a lack of an upto-date survey paper that incorporates some of the recently proposed accurate and reliable localization systems. In this paper, we aim to provide a detailed survey of different indoor localization techniques such as Angle of Arrival (AoA), Time of Flight (ToF), Return Time of Flight (RTOF), Received Signal Strength (RSS); based on technologies such as WiFi, Radio Frequency Identification Device (RFID), Ultra Wideband (UWB), Bluetooth and systems that have been proposed in the literature. The paper primarily discusses localization and positioning of human users and their devices. We highlight the strengths of the existing systems proposed in the literature. In contrast with the existing surveys, we also evaluate different systems from the perspective of energy efficiency, availability, cost, reception range, latency, scalability and tracking accuracy. Rather than comparing the technologies or techniques, we compare the localization systems and summarize their working principle. We also discuss remaining challenges to accurate indoor localization.
