* ''Beacon Proximity mode'' - uses iBeacon proximity only
=== Technologies ===
If a new environment should be equipped with iBeacon-Positioning, an expert has to mount iBeacons on known positions and calibrate the transmission behaviour of these beacons. Trilateration beacons can be configured using [[SYSCLS_TRILATERATION_BEACON]].
==== iBeacon-Proximity Positioning ====
The iBeacon Proximity Mode detects if the user is in the proximity of a beacon. The proximity region is defined by a proximity distance which creates a sphere around the beacon. Whenever the calculated distance to a beacon is smaller than the proximity distance, the user is supposed to be at the position of the beacon. If multiple regions intersect the user is supposed to be at the position of the nearest beacon.
In order to use iBeacon Proximity as a Positioning System, Bluetooth Low Energy has to be available and enabled on the mobile device. If a new environment should be equipped with iBeacon-Positioning, an expert has to mount iBeacons on known positions and calibrate the propagation factor of these beacons. Proximity beacons can be configured using [[SYSCLS_PROXIMITY_BEACON]].
