Abstract

Untact order payment has become a new normal since the COVID-19. BLE beacon is a technology that supports low-power wireless communication within 70 meters without Bluetooth pairing and is specialized for indoor positioning. Therefore, it is suitable for building and providing O2O services beyond B2C and B2B services. However, beacons have a lower utilization rate because they have fewer platforms than wifi that support long-distance wireless communication. Therefore, this paper aims to provide more convenient non-face-to-face related services than before by designing and proposing an O2O service platform using BLE beacons. When scanning beacons, not only does it receive advertising data that beacons have, but it also ensures that the actual distance between the user's terminal and beacons is accurately calculated. Through accurate location, the O2O service platform will be able to provide users with store information, such as coupons and discounts, museum exhibits, and traffic information at the right time.

코로나 팬데믹 이후 비대면 주문 결제가 뉴 노멀로 자리잡고 있다. BLE 비콘은 블루투스 페어링 없이 70m이내의 범위에서 저전력 무선 통신을 지원하는 기술로, 실내측위에 특화되어 있다. 따라서 B2C(Business to Consumeri), B2B(Business to Business)서비스를 넘어 O2O(Online to Offline)서비스를 구축하고 제공하는데에 적합하다. 그러나 비콘은 장거리 무선 통신을 지원하는 wifi에 비해 구축된 플랫폼이 적어서 이용률이 낮은 편이다. 이에 본 논문에서는 BLE 비콘을 활용한 O2O 서비스 플랫폼을 설계 및 제안함으로써 이전보다 편리한 비대면 관련 서비스 제공을 목적으로 한다. 비콘을 스캐닝할 때, 단순히 비콘이 가진 광고 데이터를 수신하는 것만이 아니라 사용자 단말기와 비콘간 실제거리가 정확히 산출되도록 한다. 해당 O2O 서비스 플랫폼은 정확한 위치 파악을 통해 쿠폰이나 할인혜택 같은 상점정보, 박물관 전시물 정보, 교통정보 등을 적시적소에 사용자에게 제공할 수 있게 될 것이다. 비콘 거리 측정실험은 비콘 측위의 특징인 실내 공간을 가정하고 수행되었다.
