- Conditional Redirection: If the device is in range, you can automatically redirect to the data collection or data transmission screen.
- Dynamic Notifications: If the device is nearby, a notification can be sent to the user; if not, a scan can be initiated.
- Critical Process Pre-Check: Before performing medical measurements or device checks, the device must be checked to ensure it is available.
- Retry with Timer: If the device cannot be found during the initial check, the check can be repeated at specified intervals.
Technical Risks and Precautions
- False Positive Results: Bluetooth scanning may not find the device; therefore, a retry mechanism is recommended.
- Permission Issues: The application cannot perform this check without Bluetooth access or location permissions.
- Device Name Conflicts: If there are multiple devices with the same name, there is a risk of connecting to the wrong device; pairing with the Device ID is required.
- Platform Limitations: This action is only available on mobile devices and does not work on web applications.
Saved Device Available is an action that saves users from having to perform manual actions and significantly simplifies the experience, especially in applications that require connections to devices running in the background. Thanks to the automatic connectivity feature, users find the device ready to use when they open the application. This creates a unique use case for Bluetooth-based applications.
