ABSTRACT

Martin Woolley is an industry veteran with over 30 years’ experience working with computers large, small and getting smaller. He still has a Sinclair ZX81 somewhere. Bluetooth Smart and IoT grabbed his attention when working for BlackBerry in his previous role. Bluetooth Smart struck him as a phenomenally exciting, useful and developer-friendly technology and it's no surprise it's helping fuel the realisation of some remarkable technological visions and the creation of some highly valuable new markets. Consequently, the opportunity to join the Bluetooth SIG last year and get centrally involved with Bluetooth Smart proved irresistible. Martin is a member of the SIG's Developer Programs and Evangelism team and thoroughly enjoys talking with developers about software development and Bluetooth Smart.
Abstract:
Over 10 billion devices which use Bluetooth were shipped in the technology's first 10 years. But last year alone, a further 2.5 billion new Bluetooth devices materialised. Bluetooth is going through what has been described as "quiet revolution", with massive and increasing levels of adoption driven by the release of the latest version of Bluetooth called "Bluetooth Smart". Bluetooth Smart enables some exciting and very current technology trends such as IoT (Internet of Things), Wearable Technology and Beacons.
In this session you will learn about the fundamental concepts and architecture of Bluetooth Smart and how to create Android apps and custom devices which exploit it. There will be slides. There will be code :-)
Gabor Paller
Senior Researcher at Szechenyi Istvan Egyetem
Connect your Android to the real world with Bluetooth Low Energy
Abstract:
I will present two projects, one about connectionless sensor monitoring, the other about remote controlling a model boat. I will demonstrate how easy it is to enable BLE connectivity in an existing equipment with a BLE module and then use the Android device as a universal data access/remote control device.
