Badge – Digital ID

🎉 Welcome to Badge – Your Campus Pass for the Digital Age

Badge – Digital ID transforms your student experience by turning your phone into a smart, secure pass for everything on campus.

Whether you’re riding the bus, heading to class, grabbing lunch, or checking into the library, the Badge app helps you connect—instantly and invisibly—with just a tap or a nearby signal.

🔍 How It Works

Think of your school as a series of exclusive party rooms:

• 🚌 The Bus Party
• 🎧 The Library Party
• 🥗 The Lunch Party
• 🎒 The Classroom Party

Each room has a doorman (a smart card reader) broadcasting a digital "party sign" using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). Your Badge app constantly scans for these signals.

When your app detects a matching "party sign," it performs a secret handshake (BLE pairing), verifies your digital credentials, and checks you in.

📸 Capture & Update Your Badge Photo

Need a new student ID photo? You can upload a fresh selfie directly through the app. Your image is securely sent to the backend for review and approval before it appears on your printed badge.

🔧 Technical Overview (For the Curious)

• Each BLE card reader emits a unique Service UUID for its service type.
• The app listens and connects to known readers nearby.
• After pairing, it sends your encrypted digital ID.
• The reader checks with the backend and grants access or service on approval.
