Referring to FIG. 3, the LL (Link Layer) layer is used to set and control a wireless link between two devices. The HCI (Hardware Controller Interface) layer is used for communication between the controller and the host. layer protocol provides a data service at a higher level and divides the packets to be sent to the controller or reassembles received packets. The SM (Security Manager) layer is used for encrypted user authentication. The ATT (Attribute Protocol) layer has its own attributes. Attributes assigned to the ATT determine attributes and services. The GATT (Generic Attribute Protocol) layer uses ATT (Attribute Protocol) The GAP (Generic Access Profile) layer performs the function of defining the setting of the property value, the reading, the writing, the notification, and the indication characteristic. Used for ringing and linking.

The beacon, which is a smart sensor according to the present invention, is capable of communicating with devices within a short distance by a short range wireless communication small device. In the present invention, the beacon includes a gyro sensor, an acceleration sensor, and a geomagnetic sensor, which are motion sensors. The gyro sensor is an angular velocity sensor that detects the angular velocity of the object. A gyro sensor is a sensor that measures the angle of an object in units of time based on one axis. A gyro sensor is also called a gyroscope. Using the gyro sensor, you can see if the beacon is moving left or right or up and down. The acceleration sensor is a sensor that measures the acceleration of a moving object. By using the acceleration sensor, the travel distance of the beacon can be calculated. The geomagnetic sensor is a sensor that can detect the direction of the magnetic field generated by the earth and detect the orientation like a compass. Using the geomagnetic sensor, you can know the moving direction of the beacon. In the present invention, it is preferable to use a three-axis gyro sensor, a three-axis acceleration sensor, and a three-axis geomagnetic sensor.
