Each device has its own identifier, the code of which it sends in real-time to other devices with Bluetooth 4.0 technology. The devices use the location and transmit events between them, so that interaction occurs within the beacon&#8217;s location. The devices are very small and simple. They have lithium batteries in their construction, as well as a processor and radio.
