Beaconholic: An efficient framework for location sensing reminder application using IoT

The Beaconholic is an iphone operating system (iOS) application that provides a link between the Reminders on phone and Beacons in the real world. iBeacon is a trending technology that provides new location awareness possibilities for applications. Leveraging Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), an iBeacon technology enabled device that can be used to establish a region around an object and identify whenever the device enters or exits the region. In this paper we introduce a reminder application which monitors our location and provide us with the corresponding reminders which we have already fed into the application. The iOS device can alert applications when we approach or leave a location using iBeacon. Each time the iOS device enters the beaconic region, the application notifies the user with the corresponding reminders. Thus this application implements Internet of things with the communication of an iBeacon with an iOS device. We envision that the application of the proposed method lead to significant time conservation and automation of the reminders.
