Abstract
Provided are systems and methods including a secure sensor filtering capability within an BLE hub device capable of determining its geographic position and also capable of communicating directly with a cloud services application. The hub device periodically performs BLE scanning for advertisements from devices in proximity to the hub device but only collects and processes advertisement data from end nodes that match the filter requirements configured within the hub device while ignoring advertisements from any end nodes not matching the filter requirements configured within the hub device. In addition, digital leash and custody capabilities are provided with respect to the hub device such that improvements in connection with resource utilization (e.g. power, bandwidth, processor usage) may be achieved.
