iPhone 4S's first Bluetooth application - Find your car via Bluetooth signal

Earlier this year, Apple began adding Bluetooth 4.0 technology support to some of its products. This new Bluetooth technology is also called "Bluetooth Low Energy". Apple's 2011 new Mac mini and Macbook Air are the first products to adopt Bluetooth 4.0 technology support, followed by iPhone 4S.

Bluetooth 4.0 low energy technology can ensure good technical specifications of low energy consumption and low latency, opening the door to more Bluetooth accessories. In the future, low energy Bluetooth signal transmitters/receivers will only need a very simple configuration of the iPhone to transmit data. For example, receiving push notifications, distance sensors, health detectors, etc.

Now, a company called FMC Smart has released the first app that uses low-energy Bluetooth technology, and a related module for the iPhone 4S. "FindMy Car Smart" is an application that uses Bluetooth 4.0 technology to track the specific location of our parking. In fact, there are already products with similar functions on the market, but those require manual login to the application and then mark the location of the car. The "Smart Car Finder" introduced this time uses a Bluetooth 4.0 signal receiver to automatically track the last parking location.

About the use of equipment and applications:

Install this USB Bluetooth sensor adapter in your car, which can be paired with your iPhone. This sensor adapter can automatically communicate with the iPhone's "Find MyCar Smart" application in the background. When you leave the car, the application will automatically record your location, no manual operation is required. And Bluetooth4.0 background operation consumes very little power.

The app is currently available on the App Store (download address), but the supporting products are still raising funds on Kickstarter, so it will take some time before they are launched.
