A beacon system and method are provided. The system provides schemes and methods whereby range configurable beacons can smartly choose to either broadcast information in their vicinity or allow another device to interact with it at the user's discretion. In some incarnations, a Mobile or Smart Phone devices could deduce information meaningful in context of the applications running on the Mobile or Smart Phone devices, from such beacon based devices with configurable range allowing options for either beacon device operation or user initiated interaction with the beacon device.
