beaconGroup (Type of variable)

In french: beaconGroupe

The beaconGroup type is used to define the advanced characteristics for a set of Beacon tags. The characteristics of this set of Beacon tags can be defined and modified by several WLanguage properties.

Remark: See Declaring a variable for more details on the declaration of this type of variable and the use of WLanguage properties.

Reminder: The Beacon tags are using the Bluetooth Low Energy technology to emit a triplet of values:

UUID (Universally Unique Identifier, also known as Proximity UUID): unique identifier representing the organization or the person to which the tag belongs.
Major: number used to identify a group of tags within the same organization (same UUID)
Minor: number used to identify a specific tag within the same group (same UUID and same Major number).

This triplet is used to identify the Beacon tag in a unique way.

by using the first value or the first two values of triplet, you have the ability to define whether a Beacon tag belongs to an organization and/or to a sub-group of this organization.

Example

// Group of all Beacon tags belonging to the same organization
group is beaconGroup
group..UUID = "f4231ab6-5ef2-6c99-4229-af6c72e0446e"

// Group of all Beacon tags belonging to the same organization with Major number 5
group is beaconGroup
group..UUID = "f4231ab6-5ef2-6c99-4229-af6c72e0446e"
group..Major = 5

// Unique Beacon tag
group is beaconGroup
group..UUID = "f4231ab6-5ef2-6c99-4229-af6c72e0446e"
group..Major = 5
group..Minor = 1

Remarks

Properties specific to the description of beaconGroup variables

The following properties can be used to handle a group of Beacon tags:

Property name	Type used	Effect

Description	Character string	Description of group of Beacon tags.
Major	Integer	Integer included between -1 and 65535 describing the Major number for the group of tags. The default property value is set to -1. This value means that the Major number will be ignored to define whether a tag belongs to the group. If the property value was specified (other than -1), ..UUID must also be specified.
Minor	Integer	Integer included between -1 and 65535 describing the Minor number for the group of tags. The default property value is set to -1. This value means that the Minor number will be ignored to define whether a tag belongs to the group. If the property value was specified (other than -1), ..UUID and ..Major must also be specified.
UUID	Character string	Identifier (GUID) common to the group tags. This identifier includes 32 hexadecimal digits separated into 5 groups. Each group must contain the following number of digits : 1st group : 8 digits 2nd group : 4 digits 3rd group : 4 digits 4th group : 4 digits 5th group : 12 digits The different groups are separated by a dash. Example of valid identifier: f4231ab6-5ef2-6c99-4229-af6c72e0446e This identifier is mandatory in order for the group to be valid.

Remark: These properties can be handled by using one of the following syntaxes:

<Variable name>..<Property name>
<Variable name>.<Property name>

Reinitialization

To reinitialize the content of a beaconGroup variable, you have the ability to use VariableReset.
