Background Operation

Naubat is designed for passive continuous monitoring with minimal user interaction while maintaining consistent Bluetooth communication and data collection behavior.

How It Works in Background

The app scans for compatible Bluetooth Low Energy dongles and reconnects automatically when they become available. As operating conditions change, it transitions between Disconnected, Idle, and Collecting Data states. These transitions are handled automatically during normal use.

Android Behavior

Android requires an active foreground notification for persistent background operation. Battery optimization settings can affect whether background processes remain active over time. Background reliability depends partly on each device manufacturer’s system configuration.

iOS Behavior

In the current version, background operation is supported under normal system conditions. If Bluetooth is toggled off and on, reopening the app may be required in some cases to restore expected behavior. Current version behavior may evolve in future updates.

Internet Connectivity

Data is buffered locally when internet connectivity is unavailable. Up to 10 minutes of buffered data is retained. Beyond that limit, older buffered data is replaced using a FIFO strategy. Dashboard updates are delivered in batches at approximately one-minute intervals.
