Q
  1. A satellite sends out a constant code
  2. The receiver has this same code running in sync with the satellite
  3. When the receiver compares the code it recieves with the code it is running it will see a time delay
  4. The time delay is used to find its distance from the satellite since radio waves travel at a constant speed and the position of the satellite is known
  5. When 3 distances from a satellite is known then its possible for the receiver to trilaterate its position
  6. A fourth satellite may be used for precision since it should meet the same points as all the others. If it does not then the receiver re syncs its own clock until all points meet

Q

what is trackR and tile and what do they both offer

A

these are both commercial services

what they offer

  1. they allow you to attach a bluetooth LE tag to an object.
  2. the tag then transmits its identifier
  3. an application will listen out for the tags transmissions
  4. when the app receives a transmission it will log the identifier and the location of the tag using GPS

Q

what is trilateration

A

When applied to finding the location of a receiver this works by knowing your distance from 3 or more senders and then determining your location by finding the point where all the signals meet

Q

this would not be classed as personal data if the data was aggregated with many other peoples data

such a situation would be if you were tracking a persons visit to different stores

A

when is the

Tracking the location of a device to single out a single person

not classed as personal data

27
Q

A

these are two synonymous terms used to describe a device or service that is aware of its location and uses this information to provide services on this positional information

28

A

29
Q

what information does the Tx power hold that Ibeacon transmits

A

when IBeacon transmits this it is the

given power when you are a distance of 1 metre away. This will be hard coded upon install

30
Q

while implementing geofencing describe the use case of placing

restrictions

A

when geofencing is used for this purpose:

restrictions could be put in place depending on whether you are inside or outside the fence

31
Q

these are imaginary lines running in parallel from the north pole to the south pole

A

describe longitude

32
Q

this is the point where the Greenwich meridian and equator cross,

it can be written as 0,0

A

in terms of longitude and latitude where is the

origin

and how is it written

33
Q

what is a use case of trackR and tile

A

one use case of these commercial services would be:

to attach a tag to your keys. If anyone else was using the relevant application then you would be able to locate the last location of your keys

34
Q

what information does the UUID hold that Ibeacon transmits

A

when IBeacon transmits this it could hold something like

a name brand such as coca cola

35
Q

in terms of longitude and latitude where is the

origin

and how is it written

A

this is the point where the Greenwich meridian and equator cross,

it can be written as 0,0

Q

when IBeacon transmits this it could hold something like

the name of the store that the beacon is in

A

what information does the major hold that Ibeacon transmits

37
