How Finding Networks Work
The tracker broadcasts BLE; nearby phones help report its location.
The tracker does not rely on continuous GPS or cellular positioning. It broadcasts an identifier over Bluetooth Low Energy. A nearby participating phone detects the signal and securely reports the detection location under the ecosystem’s privacy rules, allowing the owner to view the item in the corresponding app.
Certification, pairing, advertising format, privacy, and testing differ by ecosystem, while stable BLE RF performance, extremely low standby power, and reliable power management remain common hardware requirements.
Apple Find My, Google Find Hub, and Samsung SmartThings Find serve different markets and phone users, with separate platform onboarding requirements.
Long battery life starts with finished-device design
A tracker must stay useful inside wallets, luggage, keys, and assets. Yuli reviews each FindMy state so standard tracker card projects can be designed around a 5-year-class battery-life target.
Low powerReduce daily power through chipset platform, coprocessor, protocol stack, and advertising strategy.
NearbyNearby and Separated states directly affect daily battery life.
PairingThe pairing advertising window must balance response speed and power consumption.
PrivacyMechanisms such as Rotating Key should be designed together with low-power strategy.
Choose Apple, Google, or Samsung for the target market
Apple Find My serves iPhone users, Google Find Hub serves Android users, and SmartThings Find serves Samsung device users. Yuli develops the chipset platform, low-power firmware, structure, antenna, acoustics, and production tests required for the selected ecosystem.
Apple Find My
Suitable for branded tracker cards, tags, luggage products, and embedded devices. Key checks include ecosystem path, low power, buzzer, antenna clearance, and cold-press thickness.Best for products that need strong user recognition and overseas channel potential.
Google Find Hub
Designed for Android user groups and suitable for tags, tracker cards, asset labels, and customer-owned enclosures.Best for Android market coverage and channel-driven product lines.
SmartThings Find
For Samsung ecosystem and regional custom projects. Key checks include structure, power states, acoustic cavity, enclosure, and cold-press feasibility.Best for Samsung ecosystem products and channel-specific customization.
Three power options for different use cases
Battery products minimize average current, while light-energy products add flexible solar and supercapacitor storage.
Ultra-low-power battery
Suitable for tracker cards, wallet cards, tags, gift cards, and embedded PCBAs.Rechargeable power
For high-frequency use or products sensitive to battery replacement, including wireless or magnetic charging structures.Light-energy harvesting
Combines flexible solar, dynamic harvesting, supercapacitors, and low-power strategy for long-cycle assets and card products.From cards and tags to embedded modules.
The same FindMy capability changes with form factor, including battery space, antenna window, acoustic cavity, button design, and production tests.
Standard tracker card
Focused on a 5-year-class battery target, thin cold-pressed structure, buzzer cavity, and wallet reliability.Standard tag
For keys, luggage, pet accessories, branded gifts, and channel tracker products.Light-energy card
For cards, labels, and long-cycle asset projects that need less battery maintenance.Embedded PCBA
Designed for luggage, consumer electronics, tools, equipment, and customer-owned enclosures.A tracker also needs power, RF, acoustics, and structure
The thinner the tracker, the more tightly power, acoustics, antenna, battery, and cold-press manufacturing must be designed together.
Control and securityBLE SoC, secure element, ultra-low-power coprocessor, and ecosystem-required modules.
Interaction modulesBuzzer, button, LED, e-paper display, and product status feedback.
Power modulesPrimary battery, rechargeable battery, supercapacitor, and flexible photovoltaic layer.
Structure modulesCard body, enclosure, sound port, waterproof sealing, antenna clearance, and cold-press packaging.
Power is optimized state by state.
FindMy tracker power is shaped by pairing, connection, Nearby, Separated, Rotating Key, and average standby states. Yuli reviews current, advertising frequency, and wake logic by state so battery-life targets can be translated into firmware, battery, and product validation.
