Product Introduction
랜시텍 접촉 추적 배지, integrated with advanced Bluetooth 5.0 and 로라완 technologies, serves as a multifaceted tool for proximity detection, contact tracing, and implementing alert systems in the context of event management. This section delves into the operational mechanics of these features, central to the badge’s functionality.
- 근접 감지: The badge employs BLE (블루투스 저에너지) 근접 감지 기술을 사용합니다. 이는 주로 수신된 무선 신호의 전력을 측정하는 RSSI(수신 신호 강도 지표) 값을 사용하여 이루어집니다. RSSI 값은 배지 간 거리를 추정하는 데 사용되며, 사전 정의된 임계값 내에서 근접 감지를 가능하게 합니다. 일반적으로 이 임계값은 기본적으로 약 2미터로 설정되지만 행사 요건에 따라 조정 가능합니다. 두 배지가 이 설정된 근접 한계 내에 들어오면 서로의 존재를 감지하여 참석자 간의 근거리 상호작용을 효과적으로 추적합니다.
- 접촉 추적: 접촉 추적의 맥락에서 배지는 사전 정의된 근접 범위 내에서 발생하는 상호작용을 기록합니다. 상호작용의 기간과 빈도를 포함하는 이 데이터는 배지의 메모리에 저장됩니다. Bluetooth 연결을 사용하면 이 데이터를 중앙 서버로 전송하거나 모바일 애플리케이션을 통해 액세스하여 분석할 수 있습니다. 이론적 이벤트 시나리오에서 이 기능을 사용하면 이벤트 주최자가 참석자 상호작용의 패턴을 추적하고 분석할 수 있으며, 이는 잠재적인 고밀도 지역과 접촉 클러스터를 식별하는 데 중요합니다. 건강 관련 사건의 경우 이 데이터는 잠재적인 전염 사슬을 추적하는 데 매우 귀중합니다.
- 경보 시스템: 배지에는 경보 시스템에 필수적인 부저와 진동기가 내장되어 있습니다. 이러한 구성 요소는 배지가 설정된 근접 한계 내에서 다른 배지를 감지하면 활성화되어 사회적 거리두기를 유지하기 위한 촉각적 및 청각적 알림 역할을 합니다. 부저는 75dB에서 청각적 경고를 생성하는 반면 진동기는 50dB 미만의 기계적 소음으로 물리적 경고를 제공하여 알림이 눈에 띄지만 지나치게 방해가 되지 않도록 합니다. 이 이중 경보 시스템은 시각적 단서를 놓칠 수 있는 혼잡하고 시끄러운 이벤트 환경에서 특히 효과적입니다.
