sum counter counting correctly?

Open andreaskoerber opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

I have used it hame. It correctly identifies 3 beacons, but the sum counter us up to 13 in a few minutes' time w/o new people being around. Does it correctly distinguish devices in the sum counter?

Have in mind, that each device is generating new beacons over time - it's not possible (by purpose) to "know" which beacon is a successor of a previous present beacon... since that's the overall goal of the exposure notification framework: do not allow to track individual devices over a longer period of time.

So the "total summ" have to increase over time - even if there comming no new devices into your range. The sum counter was implemented on a user request who wanted to get a raw overview about the amount of 'encounters' when he is on his way/from work... (instead of just having the "current" visible number of devices)... When you are just stationary it's not adding much value.
