Abstract
A method and system for dynamically broadcasting device data using a standard Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) advertisement packet is provided. Specifically, the Bluetooth advertisement packet can be Bluetooth 4.0 compatible that has a maximum payload size of 31 bytes excluding MAC address. The Bluetooth advertisement packet can be modified to include one or more data corresponding to one or more parameters gathered or detected by one or more sensors. The parameters can include acceleration, velocity, temperature, pressure, and the like. A BLE device employing the data schemes disclosed herein can further be configured to broadcast multiple advertisement packets each containing different data corresponding to different parameters. Thus, expending the payload capacity of advertisement packets without having to initiate pairing between a remote device and the BLE device and maintains backward compatibility without requiring the remote device to be advertising extensions (Bluetooth 5.0) compatible.
