SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ENABLING ADDITIONAL DEVICES TO CHECK IN TO BLUETOOTH LOW ENERGY (BLE) BEACONS

摘要

Systems and methods are provided for checking many users in to a location using a Bluetooth® low energy (BLE) beacon. The provided systems and methods may allow a BLE beacon to facilitate a check in with a remote server that processes check ins and then disconnect from the device used to check in. The device may be assigned a unique identifier that may be broadcast from the device during the check in so that the BLE beacon can quickly scan for the identifier and connect with the device based on the identifier to provide content and other information to the device.

主权项

1. A system comprising:
one or more wireless transceivers configured to:
send a device identifier to a user device in communication with the one or more wireless transceivers when the user device completes a check in;establish communications with the user device based on the device identifier when content for the user device is received from a remote server; andsend content to the user device, wherein
the one or more wireless transceivers are further configured to communicate with the user device using a Bluetooth® low energy (BLE) communications protocol;a network interface component coupled to the one or more wireless transceivers and in communication with the remote server over a network, the network interface component configured to receive the device identifier and the content from the remote server;one or more processors configured to determine when the device identifier is present and determine when the content is received from remote server; and a memory.
