MANAGING CHECK IN APPLICATIONS USING PROTOCOL HANDLERS

摘要

Systems and methods are provided which allow for the management of check in applications installed on a user device using protocol handlers. In particular, the provided systems and methods allow a beacon to provide the user device with a protocol handler that may be registered with the user device to automatically process a check in with a particular check in application and deactivating other check in applications. Moreover, the provided systems and methods may allow a default check in application to be used to process the check in when the beacon does not provide a protocol handler or provides a protocol handler that is not registered with the user device.

1. A system comprising:
one or more wireless transceivers configured to receive information using a Bluetooth® low energy (BLE) communications protocol; one or more processors configured to:
determine when the information includes a protocol handler;process a check in at a location using a first check in application and deactivate a default check in application when an included protocol handler matches a protocol handler associated with the first check in application;process a check in at the location using the default check in application and deactivate the first check in application when the information does not include a protocol handler, includes a protocol handler associated with the default check in application, or includes a protocol handler that has not been registered on the system; and a memory configured to store instructions corresponding to the first check in application and the default check in application.
