Corona Tracking App Bluetooth

On Friday, Apple and Google announced a system for tracking the spread of the new coronavirus, allowing users to share data through Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) transmissions and approved apps from.

Bluetooth was standardized as a technology in the 1990s and named for a Viking king, Harald “Bluetooth” Gormsson. (The now-familiar logo is a combination of the king’s initials.)

The Private Kit: Safe Paths app for coronavirus tracking may soon incorporate Bluetooth for tracking close proximity between people.

One of the apps widely used in the country is Corona 100m, an application that shows the location of a patient infected with the virus, the date when the infection was confirmed, the nationality, sex and age of the patient. The app warns users when they approach 100m from a location previously visited by an infected person.

The app constantly pings out Bluetooth signals to nearby phones, looking for others that might be running the app within about two meters, or six and a half feet.

Die RKI-App Corona-Datenspende. Anders als die Tracking-App verfolgt die RKI-App nicht das Ziel, mögliche Infektionsketten des Coronavirus zu identifizieren. Die App diene nicht der Nachverfolgung von Kontaktpersonen, betonte das Institut bei der Vorstellung am Dienstag. Eine Lokalisierung der Nutzer über Bluetooth oder GPS erfolgt nicht.

Let app always run in background: the app must keep on running in background to perform tracing. This means that battery saving is disabled for this app. 6. Location: On Android, apps using Bluetooth LE for device discovery need this permission to be able to scan and detect other devices in your proximity.

Für das Funktionieren der geplanten Corona-Tracking-App sollen Mobiltelefone ihre Entfernung voneinander mittels Bluetooth messen. Das Problem dabei: Ihre Signalstärke ist nicht einheitlich. Um den App-Entwicklern zu helfen, wurden nun die Bluetooth-Signale aktueller Smartphones genau vermessen.

Andere Geräte wie Kopfhörer, Smartwatches etc. können über Bluetooth auch mit aktiver Corona-Warn-App verwendet werden. Zudem setzt die App voraus, dass auf dem Smartphone mindestens 10 MB Speicherplatz vorhanden sind. Die Corona-Warn-App kann somit voraussichtlich auf sehr vielen Smartphones genutzt werden.

The Government's coronavirus tracing app has been released, and its uptake will play a large part in helping ease restrictions. It has been called COVIDSafe and will allow authorities to quickly.
