Override default settings

The NextomeLocalizationSdk uses some parameter to customize the algorithm and additional features. These parameter are defined in the web portal and should only be changed from there.

However, durning the NextomeLocalizationSdk initialization, it is possible to override some of these settings, the override will be forced on all the venues.

The parameters are summarized in the table below, with an indication of the default values used by the web dashboard.

Danger

Overriding these parameters is a dangerous operation that should only be made in accordance with the Nextome Team because has an huge impact on the localization's performance.

Note

The longer you wait between scans, the longer it will take to detect a beacon. And the more reduce the length of the scan, the more likely it is that you might miss an advertisement from an beacon.

Property	Description	Default
scanPeriod: Long	Time in millis for the bluetooth beacon scan duration	100 ms
betweenScanPeriod: Long	Time in millis to wait between bluetooth scans	100 ms
rssiThreshold: Int	Ignore beacons below a custom RSSI threshold.	-75 db
beaconListMaxSize: Int	The SDk keeps in memory a cache of n RSSI entries in time for each beacon to more accurately compute user position.	12
localizationMethod: NextomeLocalizationMethod	Enum that sets the algorithm for localization. Choices are LINEAR_SVD, NON_LINEAR_DA, PARTICLE	LINEAR_SVD
particleActive: Boolean	Boolean that indicates if the particle filter is enabled or not	true
eventTimeoutDurationInSeconds: Int	This allows you to ignore when user exits and enters again in a event radius in a short time span. For example, if timeout is set to 60 seconds, the same event onEnter after onExit is received will be not triggered again for at least for 1 minute	0 (Real time)
sendPositionToServer: Boolean	This allows you to automatically send positions real time to Nextome server and track monitor devices realtime on the web manager	false
