  <p>
    <a href="https://www.bluetooth.com/what-is-bluetooth-technology/bluetooth-technology-basics/low-energy">Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)</a>
    allows devices to broadcast advertisements to nearby <a>observers</a>.
    These advertisements can contain small amounts of data
    of a variety of types defined in [[BLUETOOTH-SUPPLEMENT6]].
  </p>

  <p>
    For example, a beacon might announce that it's next to a particular museum exhibit
    and is advertising with 1mW of power,
    which would let nearby observers know their approximate distance to that exhibit.
  </p>

  <p>
    This specification extends [[web-bluetooth]] to allow websites to
    receive these advertisements from nearby BLE devices,
    with the user's permission.
  </p>

    <h3 id="introduction-examples">Examples</h3>

    <div class="example" id="example-ibeacon">
      <p>
        To discover what iBeacons are nearby and measure their distance,
        a website could use code like the following:
      </p>
      <pre highlight="js">
        function recordNearbyBeacon(major, minor, pathLossVs1m) { ... }
        navigator.bluetooth.<a idl for="Bluetooth" lt="requestLEScan()">requestLEScan</a>({
          filters: [{manufacturerData: {0x004C: {dataPrefix: new Uint8Array([
            0x02, 0x15, // iBeacon identifier.
            0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15  // My beacon UUID.
          ])}}}],
          keepRepeatedDevices: true
        }).then(() => {
          navigator.bluetooth.addEventListener('<a idl>advertisementreceived</a>', event => {
            let appleData = event.manufacturerData.get(<a
                href="https://www.bluetooth.org/en-us/specification/assigned-numbers/company-identifiers"
                title="Apple, Inc.'s Company Identifier">0x004C</a>);
            if (appleData.byteLength != 23) {
              // Isn't an iBeacon.
              return;
            }
            let major = appleData.getUint16(18, false);
            let minor = appleData.getUint16(20, false);
            let txPowerAt1m = -appleData.getInt8(22);
            let pathLossVs1m = txPowerAt1m - event.rssi;

            recordNearbyBeacon(major, minor, pathLossVs1m);

  <h2 id="privacy">Privacy considerations</h2>

  <em>This section is non-normative.</em>

  <p>
    <a lt="active scanning">Actively scanning</a> for advertisements
    broadcasts a <a>device address</a> of the scanning device.
    If the UA's Bluetooth system supports the <a>privacy feature</a>,
    this address rotates periodically,
    which prevents remote radios from tracking the user's device.
    However, if the UA's Bluetooth system does not support the <a>privacy feature</a>,
    this address is a stable unique identifier that's difficult to change.
    To mitigate this, UAs should either use <a>passive scanning</a>,
    use the <a>privacy feature in an observer</a>,
    or warn the user that nearby devices will learn the identity of their device.
  </p>

  <p>
    The ambient advertisements in a user's area are unlikely to directly include GPS coordinates,
    but are likely to contain unique identifiers
    that could be manually correlated with particular physical locations
    or with particular other people.
    Given that, the user needs to give permission
    before a website gets access to nearby advertisements.
  </p>

  <p>
    If a user has already given a site permission to know their location,
    it might be ok to implicitly grant access to BLE advertisements.
    However, BLE advertisements give away
    strictly less location information than full [[geolocation-api]] access,
    so UAs should allow users to grant that intermediate level of access.
  </p>

  <p>
    BLE advertisements are usually fully public,
    since they're broadcast unencrypted on 2.4GHz radio waves.
    However, it's possible that a user would
    have a device broadcast private information in a radio-shielded room.
    This is probably an inappropriate use for BLE advertisements,
    but might argue for requiring explicit permission to scan,
    rather than inferring it from having permission to get a geolocation.
  </p>
</section>

<section class="non-normative">
  <h2 id="security">Security considerations</h2>

  <em>This section is non-normative.</em>

  <p>
    Because this API doesn't write anything,
    there are few if any security implications.
    A device in a shielded room might broadcast security-sensitive information,
    but we don't have any actual attack scenarios for that.
  </p>

  <h2 id="scanning">Scanning for BLE advertisements</h2>

  <pre class="idl">
    dictionary BluetoothLEScanOptions {
      sequence&lt;BluetoothLEScanFilterInit> filters;
      boolean keepRepeatedDevices = false;
      boolean acceptAllAdvertisements = false;
    };

    partial interface Bluetooth {
      [SecureContext]
      Promise&lt;BluetoothLEScan> requestLEScan(optional BluetoothLEScanOptions options);
    };
  </pre>
  <div class="note" heading="{{Bluetooth/requestLEScan()}} summary">
    <p>
      <code>navigator.bluetooth.{{requestLEScan(options)}}</code>
      starts scanning for BLE advertisements,
      asking the user for permission if they haven't yet granted it.
    </p>
    <p>
      Because this could show a prompt,
      it requires a <a>secure context</a>,
      and UAs are likely to require a <a lt="triggered by user activation">user gesture</a>.
    </p>
    <p>
      Advertising events that <a for="BluetoothLEScanFilter">match</a>
      a {{BluetoothLEScanFilter}} in an active {{BluetoothLEScan}}
      cause {{advertisementreceived}} events to be dispatched
      to the sending {{BluetoothDevice}}.
      A filter matches if the advertisement includes data equal to each <a>present</a> member.
      Usually, you'll only include one member in each filter.
    </p>
    <p>
      Normally scans will discard
      the second and subsequent advertisements from a single device
      to save power.
      If you need to receive them,
      set <dfn dict-member for="BluetoothLEScanOptions">keepRepeatedDevices</dfn> to `true`.
      Note that setting {{BluetoothLEScanOptions/keepRepeatedDevices}} to `false`
      doesn't guarantee you won't get redundant events;
      it just allows the UA to save power by omitting them.
    </p>
    <p>
      In the rare case that you want to receive every advertisement without filtering them,
      use the <dfn dict-member for="BluetoothLEScanOptions">acceptAllAdvertisements</dfn> field.
    </p>
  </div>

  <div algorithm>
    <p>
      The <code><dfn method for="Bluetooth">requestLEScan(|options|)</dfn></code> method,

        Note: There's no need to include filters if all advertisements are being accepted.

      <li>

  <h2 id="terminology">Terminology and conventions</h2>

  <p>
    This specification uses a few conventions and several terms from other specifications.
    This section lists those and links to their primary definitions.
  </p>

  <p>
    When an algorithm in this specification uses a name defined in this or another specification,
    the name MUST resolve to its initial value,
    ignoring any changes that have been made to the name in the current execution environment.
    For example, when the {{Bluetooth/requestLEScan()}} algorithm says to call
    <code>|options|.filters.map(filter=>new
    {{BluetoothLEScanFilter/BluetoothLEScanFilter()|BluetoothLEScanFilter}}(filter))</code>,
    this MUST apply the
    {{Array.prototype.map}} algorithm defined in [[ECMAScript]]
    with <code>|options|.services</code> as its <code>this</code> parameter and
    the algorithm defined at {{BluetoothLEScanFilter/BluetoothLEScanFilter()}}
    as its <code>callbackfn</code> parameter,
    regardless of any modifications that have been made to <code>window</code>,
    <code>Array</code>, <code>Array.prototype</code>, <code>Array.prototype.map</code>,
    <code>Function</code>, <code>Function.prototype</code>,
    <code>BluetoothLEScanFilter</code>, or other objects.
