The Use of Bluetooth Low Energy Smart Sensor for Mobile Devices Yields an Efficient Level of Power Consumption

Mobile devices, such as smartphones and tablets have already become an integral part of our lives. For example, they are widely used throughout society with several applications in various business sectors which include smart houses, irrigation systems, healthcare and many more. This paper proposes a method to improve the use of smartphones with a smart wireless sensor network acquisition system through Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). A new BLE Smart Sensor, which acquires environmental data was designed. This can be used with normal android devices (Smartphones, Tablets) to collect information from a smart sensor. Moreover, a BLE acquisition algorithm was successfully implemented on the firmware of the device.
