Abstract
The invention introduces an apparatus for indoor positioning, which contains at least a communications interface and a processing unit. The processing unit, coupled to the communications interface, sets the apparatus to a connection-disallowed state when an indoor positioning is activated, and broadcasts an advertising message periodically in an advertising state via the communications interface, where the advertising message contains at least the identity of the apparatus, a timestamp at which the advertising message is sent, and the transmission power.
