I'm a bit unsure of where to post this question, so if anyone thinks I'm in the wrong place and knows where I should be posting it could you please point me in the right direction? Much Appreciated :)
Moving on to my question, I am working on a project that allows location tracking of a person inside a building by placing usb bluetooth dongles around some rooms (in laptops or usb plugs etc) and saving their information in a database. Using an Android phone I then wanted to be able to discover the devices as I walk around with it on me and then calculate a location using the closest 3.
The problem I'm having is that my Android device will not discover the dongles that I have plugged into various laptops unless I set them to "Receive a file" i.e. discoverable (I assume). Does anyone know if it's possible to set them to be discoverable at all times or make it a default setting so I can plug it into sockets? If this is not an option, is it possible to find the closest dongles while they are not set to discoverable?
Thanks!
