Beacon, BLE and Smartphone

[robhok]

Hello everyone,

I'm currently working on a project and I'm encountering issues.

The project involves with a BLE and a smartphone.
The goal is to send Data from an application, that the smartphone gets from a BLE.

Everything is working from now, when I press a button, the BLE sends Data, the smartphone gets it, then send it to a server

But I'd like the smartphone to gets data without launching the application.

After some researches, I've found out that a Beacon could awake the app without launching it, so it would mean that the BLE would transforms itself as a Beacon, awake the app, then changes itself again to a standard BLE, to send data to the smartphone. Is it possible ?

If not, is there another way ? All we want is that the BLE sends data and the smartphone gets it without starting an application.

Thank you in advance

Hi!

The goal is to send Data from an application, that the smartphone gets from a BLE.

Is this application one that you developed yourself, or are you using one of the Nordic mobile apps?
Also, which smartphone are you working with?

I do think this is possible, depending on which phone you are using.

When you provide some more detailes I'll contact our our mobile developers and ask for some assistance from them.

Best regards,
Joakim.

Hello,

I am currently using nRF Sniffer to try to detect the BLE as a Beacon. But to receive the Data, I've developed my own mobile application (Java).

The application does work (I receive data from the BLE) but when I kill it, it stops getting data. That's why I want to use a Beacon to awake my application, and then always be able to receive data.

I'm using RN4871 for the BLE & Samsung Galaxy S7 for the smartphone.

Best,
Robin

Hi!

I'm sorry, but I only have knowledge about Nordic Semiconductor devices.

If you want to create a mobile application to connect to the RN4871, you might want to check out Microchip's forum, or maybe an android forum.

Best regards,
Joakim.
