Monitor point of interest with beacon fencing
Monitor a user’s proximity to indoor points of interest using beacons.
Indoor beacon-fencing
Beacon fencing is designed to monitor a user’s proximity to indoor points of interest using unique beacon identifiers. In the context of the Woosmap Geofencing SDK, beacon fencing involves identifying specific points of interest within a building through the use of unique beacon identifiers.
This feature allows you to trigger events or actions when they come into proximity of a particular beacon. Whether it’s a shop, a conference room, or any other indoor area, beacon fencing enables you to provide tailored interactions and services to users based on their proximity to these points of interest.
Based on Woosmap Indoor
You need a Private API key to request the Woosmap Indoor Search API. This private key has to be linked to a project with Indoor product enabled.
The Geofencing SDK leverages Woosmap Indoor to manage beacons. This system relies on a set of geographic elements referred to as “features,” which are collectively defined within a geoJSON file.
Beacons are also considered features but have four additional mandatory properties:
woosmap:categorymust be set to “beacon”.beacon:uuiddenotes the beacon’s unique identifier.beacon:majorindicates the beacon’s major value.beacon:minorspecifies the beacon’s minor value.
