BLE Scanning

BLE scanning, or Bluetooth Low Energy scanning, is a method used to detect nearby devices that communicate wirelessly using Bluetooth technology. It involves a device, like a smartphone, searching for signals emitted by other BLE devices, such as fitness trackers or smart home gadgets. When a BLE device is in range, it broadcasts a unique identifier, allowing the scanning device to recognize it. This process is energy-efficient, enabling devices to conserve battery while still connecting to various peripherals. BLE scanning is crucial for applications like location tracking, health monitoring, and smart environments, enhancing connectivity and user experience.
