摘要：As of now, BLE beacons are considered as one of the key technology revolutions to provide object identifications and trajectories of objects with low energy. The services leveraging BLE beacons include in-door positioning service, smart home, mobile advertising and context-aware services. The more popular such services are the more useful easy and rapid development of such services becomes. In this paper, we present a service platform named BSmart, which supports the core functionalities required for beacon-based services through the associated RESTful Web services. These RESTful Web services provide the functions of beacon/user management, beacon data update/filtering, beacon data searching/monitoring, and alarm notification. With the help of the BSmart platform, developers of services using BLE beacons can rapidly build their services without implementation of core functions related with BLE beacons.
