mfoltzgoogle has just created a new issue for https://github.com/WebBluetoothCG/web-bluetooth: == [Use Case] Bluetooth bike locks == One scenario that might deserve an entry in the [use cases document](use-cases.bs): There are three "dockless" bike share services in Seattle which allow anyone with a smartphone to rent a bike for 30 minutes or an hour. This is currently done using a native app that works as follows: 1. App downloads a map of available bikes nearby 1. User finds a bike, scans a QR code on the bike to get an unlock password from the cloud. 1. App uses BTLE to send an unlock request to the electronic bike lock. 1. A successful unlock is reported back via BTLE and the bike is reported unlocked to the app, which starts the rental. Similarly, I believe locking the bike signals the app via BTLE that the rental has ended. With Web Bluetooth (and other Web APIs), this could be done using a Web app. Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/WebBluetoothCG/web-bluetooth/issues/380 using your GitHub account
