Summary:碩士 === 國立成功大學 === 電腦與通信工程研究所 === 103 === SUMMARY This paper studies mainly aimed Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and to use this application in climbers. The summary Contain (1) Part I will introduce the background and motivation, (2) Part II describes the architecture of the Internet of Things (IoT), (3) Part III describes the use hardware and the system flow chart, (4) Part VI is the experimental results, (5) Part V is the conclusion and we will summarize the result. Key words: Bluetooth low energy, power saving, climbing, heartbeat detection. INTRODUCTION In recent years more and more popular for mountain sports, a group of people or a single person can also be used to achieve the release of pressure and relieve mental and physical activity through the leisure activities mountaineering, hiking sounds simple, very easy because it is not familiar with the terrain, or because sudden health problems, resulting in injury or an accident, so research will make use of Bluetooth low energy design a simple heartbeat detection device, is hoped to identify physiological conditions, to achieve allows climbers to monitor their health and physical avoid because of accidents caused by a variety of regret. The study is based on low-power Bluetooth based, to design climbers heartbeat detection device, future research will be combined with the cloud services application, design mountaineering navigation and height resolution. Through wearable device records the location and height, and detect individual physiological conditions. In the apparatus of the study, we divided into two devices; there is a master device and slave device. Master device is arranged between the waist, to send and receive data; slave device is arranged on the arm, the heart rate detection fingers. Slave device mainly to detect the heartbeat, and then through the low-power Bluetooth to transfer data to the Master device, the Master device collected the information and then through their own 3G module to send data to the cloud server for archiving, the cloud service records and operation, provide identification and mountain height, back to where the address climbers, climbers reach safety monitoring. MATERIALS AND METHODS The main objective will be to design a low-power Bluetooth wearable device is in order to save power consumption smartphones problem, because the way in mountaineering, climbers like taking pictures beauty, whereby share on Facebook or other social networking sites, but while sharing 3G networks must remain unblocked; or when using a mobile phone Map immediate mountaineering tour, but because smart phones open network special power, it is easy in the long way climbing will consume the power of light, so Research currently to detect a heartbeat, and the use of low-power Bluetooth do transfer data. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION The experimental results, the use of Bluetooth low energy devices can not only achieve power, money purposes, but also for a variety of different applications to set optimization parameters, so Bluetooth standby time is optimized, it can really take advantage of the need for a long time to be out climbing scenes. Today does not have any mountaineering navigation system with the bonding physiological detection device, so this study can hope through the planning situation, design a wearable device with this feature offers climbers a safer and more enjoyable to use interface. Observation of current smart phones, mobile devices integrated health physiological sensing function caused by the main cause of the boom is mainly conventional pulse or advanced physiological measurements required mostly with professional equipment, equipment unit price is high, bulky unable convenient to carry and always observe the measured data but now we have cheap sensors can be used, and displays real-time information through mobile devices, allowing users do not need to purchase special medical equipment to keep abreast of the state of health, just to meet the current popular health craze. CONCLUSION From the experimental results can know, Bluetooth Low Energy may depending on the application which to set optimization parameters, for example, in this study, is used in mountaineering journey, so no heartbeat has been detected, it can be separated 1 to 2 seconds measured like, so the experimental results, the standby state can reach more than a year, it does not need to have the charge or replace the battery, than carry smart phones, saving over more power. It expected to provide wearable device with direction identification and physiological detection, and there will be exclusive to do service corresponding APP. Currently on the market is not only physiological detection function unilateral mountaineering navigation or unilateral. We offer this new feature, along with the development of mountaineering navigation, physiological detection and entertainment, through this innovative service, so climbers can be safer and more fun experience climbing.
