SYSTEM FOR ANTI-SPOOFING BEACON NETWORK AND CLOUD BASED ADMINISTRATION OF RELATED CONTENT

摘要

A distributed beacon network and cloud-based management system (100) are disclosed. The beacons (102) are each configured to transmit wireless messages comprising a unique identifier generated using respective asymmetric key pairs. An administrator is enabled via a hosted web portal to remotely designate content in association with beacons, as well as proximity settings, content tags, etc. A mobile device (104) proximate to one or more beacons receives their messages via an open browser and forwards an associated content request to a hosted server. The server authenticates the beacons by retrieving and implementing the respective asymmetric key pairs. Upon authentication, the server provides access via the device browser to content designated for one or more of the beacons, and corresponding to the proximity settings and content tags. Content is provided via hosted web portals, or by redirection of the browser to third party URLs designated via the administrator interface.
