The Light Stick to Smartphone Bluetooth application allows users to control a light stick via Bluetooth. To activate the device, the user needs to turn on the light stick and press its button twice to switch it into Bluetooth mode. Once in Bluetooth mode, if the user’s smartphone Bluetooth is turned on and the light stick is positioned close to the phone’s screen, the two devices will automatically pair and connect, enabling remote control of the light stick through the app.
This application requires certain access permissions to function properly. When launching the app, users are prompted to follow guidelines based on Paragraph 22-2 of the Information and Communications Network Act, which explains the reasons for needing access rights and the necessary procedures for granting consent. This ensures transparency about what data or functions the app needs to operate effectively.
The app requests selective access to various permissions, each serving specific functions. Storage access is used for performance information, which may include logging or saving user preferences. Location services are needed to facilitate Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) connections, helping ensure a stable pairing experience. BLE access is specifically needed to connect and communicate with the cheering tool (light stick), enabling it to respond to commands from the app.
Overall, the application provides a simple way to connect and control a light stick using Bluetooth technology while ensuring user privacy and consent are maintained by clearly explaining why certain permissions are necessary. This enhances user trust and guarantees the app operates smoothly and securely during use.
