Abstract

The concept of smart cities has gained popularity due to technological advances in areas such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and Big Data Analytics (BDA). Location-based services have emerged in such smart environments to improve people's quality of life and generate statistics for mutual benefit. In this work, a stylized presence detection concept is proposed which uses Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacons placed in locations of interest. Users can detect the BLE beacon identification number (ID) with personal devices such as cell phones and connected watches and transmit it along with a unique and randomly generated user ID. Blockchain technology is used for a storage back-end. Our proposal is by no means exhaustive and is intended to advance the discussion of location-based services that deal with big data.
