Abstract
A Bluetooth low energy (BLE)-based beacon device includes a wireless transmitter, a memory device that stores an ID of the BLE-based beacon device, a switch, and a control circuit that senses the switch being pressed, changes a state of the BLE-based beacon device from an idle state to a wakeup state based on a result of the sensing, determines whether a predetermined period of time has elapsed, and changes the state of the BLE-based beacon device from the wakeup state to the idle state when the predetermined period of time has elapsed. The control circuit transmits the ID stored in the memory device to the wireless transmitter only while the BLE-based beacon device is in the wakeup state.
