Methods and apparatuses for configuring a ble advertising beacon

A method, apparatus, and computer program product are provided in order to provide improvements in the configuring of Bluetooth low energy (BLE) advertising beacons. Embodiments of the present invention are directed to conveniently and reliably configuring or updating the configuration of a BLE beacon, while limiting the amount of technical information and/or tools required. A method is provided comprising: receiving a data stream encoded in a flickering barcode from a programming device; decoding, using a processor, the received data stream; and configuring a BLE beacon advertisement using the decoded data stream. The method may further include transmitting the configured BLE beacon advertisement. A corresponding apparatus and a computer program product are also provided. 提供种方法、装置和计算机程序产品，以便提供对低功耗蓝牙(BLE)通告信标的配置的改进。本发明的实施例涉及方便地并且可靠地配置或更新BLE信标的配置，同时限制所要求的技术信息和/或工具的数量。提供种方法，包括：从编程设备接收被编码在闪烁条形码中的数据流；使用处理器解码接收到的数据流；并且使用经解码的数据流来配置BLE信标通告。该方法还可以包括传输所配置的BLE信标通告。还提供了对应的装置和计算机程序产品。
