Beacon Explorers: Beacon Week San FranciscoDoug Thompson
BLE beacons have come a long way since Apple announced iBeacon support. At Beacon Week San Francisco, sponsored by Kontakt.io, we review some tips, insights and idea-starters for the new world of beacons.
We have been doing some work with Beacons (iBeacon’s) at the moment and there where many preconceptions we had to overcome before getting to grips with the technology. We have compiled this presentation to help explain the landscape and explore some possibilities.
Beacon Technology for Restaurants - Personalizing the On-Premise ExperienceRockbot
The document discusses how beacon technology allows businesses like restaurants to personalize the in-store customer experience. Beacons use Bluetooth signals to detect when customers enter a store and interact with their mobile devices to greet them or provide customized offers. The adoption of beacon technology is expected to grow significantly in the coming years, driven by declining prices and increasing functionality. Industry analysts predict beacon-influenced on-premise sales in the US will increase from $4.1 billion in 2015 to $44.4 billion in 2016 as more businesses implement the technology.
iBeacon is an open source proximity platform introduced by Apple in iOS7 that uses Bluetooth Low Energy signals from beacon devices to transmit data to nearby smartphones. Beacons are hardware devices that can communicate with smartphones to provide location-based services and notifications. The document discusses how beacon technology is used across industries to improve customer experiences through proximity-based interactions, notifications, and analytics.

7 Ways Brands can use Beacon Tech to Make it Big in 2016Beaconstac
This webinar talks about 7 innovative ways in which brands can leverage beacons to ramp up their marketing strategy in 2016. Also contains examples of some of the best iBeacon campaigns of 2015.
A beacon is a small wireless device that transmits a Bluetooth signal to nearby smart devices, providing an ID number. The smart device sends the ID to a cloud server, which checks what action is assigned to that ID number and responds accordingly. For example, a beacon placed near socks in a clothing store could alert customers passing by of a sock sale via their smart device.
This document discusses how the Internet of Things (IoT) is changing omnichannel retail. Omnichannel retail allows customers to shop seamlessly across devices and channels. The main challenges for retailers are keeping up with technology changes, providing consistency across channels, and managing big data from various sources. IoT generates even more customer data through connected devices that can be used to optimize inventory, improve product placement and targeting, and enhance the customer experience. While big data raises privacy and usability issues, retailers that establish the right infrastructure and develop a data-driven culture can reduce costs, make processes more efficient and gain insights into customer needs.
iBeacons – Fad Or Trend? The Use-Cases For Retail And Omni-Channel SolutionsStefan Wolpers
iBeacons – Fad Or Trend?
23 slides on the use-cases of Apple's BLE – Bluetooth Low Energy – beacon technology that allows for the first time to precisely locate a person within pre-defined proximity of a sensor and to communicate with that person contextually.
But where's the beef? NFC, QR-codes and WLAN tracking were promising that before and never caught on.
The slide-deck provides an answer to that question by addressing the most important use-cases as well as dealing with privacy and technologies issues of the nascent technology.
2014 was the year that everyone got really excited about beacon technology and there’s no doubt that 2015 will be the year it becomes mainstream. We’ve put together a quick of 15 ways beacons can be used across many vertical sectors including retail, education, healthcare, events and tourism.
These slides use concepts from my (Jeff Funk) course entitled Biz Models for Hi-Tech Products to analyze the business model for a Nest Lab’s Smart Thermostat. This thermostat learns user behavior, uses motion sensors to detect human presence, and programs itself. We recommend that Nest sell directly to end users and work with HVAC, construction and building automation companies to have their thermostat installed in new buildings. Nest, which was recently acquired by Google, can profit from the sale of these devices and the sale of software apps that can add functionality to the product.
iBeacons use Bluetooth Low Energy technology to broadcast unique identifiers that can be detected by nearby smartphones and other devices to provide location-based services. iBeacons transmit a universally unique identifier, major number, and minor number that allow apps to identify a beacon's location and provide contextual information. Some applications of iBeacons include improving customer experiences in retail stores and hospitals by sending notifications as users move throughout a location.
Beacons are the missing link between the offline world and the digital space. They bring to life a new way of interaction by adding a context to the physical world. Here's how retailers, museums, events, smart cities, banks, and offices leverage proximity to grow their businesses and engage their audiences.
This document provides an overview of IBM's IoT offerings for retail and real estate, including the IBM IoT for Real Estate point of view, IBM IoT for Retail overview, offerings, use cases, and resources. The key points are:

NFC technology allows contactless communication between compatible devices from up to 4 cm away, transmitting data at up to 424 Kbits/sec. Nokia has developed an open NFC platform called NFC-Hub to allow brands and businesses to create engaging consumer experiences using NFC today, such as checking in on social media or going to websites, without requiring secure NFC technology or additional software. The NFC-Hub platform provides tools for small-scale e-commerce, collecting usage analytics, managing URL-based tags, and an affiliate program. Early results show the potential for NFC to drive revenue opportunities and engagement through partnerships and word-of-mouth prior to widespread availability of secure NFC technology.
This document discusses and compares iBeacon and Eddystone beacon formats. It provides examples of how each could be used by businesses and predicts their growth in 2016. While Eddystone offers flexibility, iBeacon currently has a higher adoption rate among businesses and provides a finished product. Both formats can be supported using Beaconstac beacons. The document also addresses developing effective beacon apps and integrating with services like Apple Passbook to overcome app installation barriers.
This document discusses the convergence of mobile communications, wearable technologies, and the Internet of Things.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
