1. An enforcement computer deployable in a short-distance-based communication and enforcement system for a validation and enforcement area, the enforcement computer comprising:
- a short-distance communication interface;
a processor to;
receive user input for programming a flow of visual objects displayable in a sequence specified in the programming of the flow;
store the programmed flow of visual objects in a data storage of the enforcement computer;
configure a beacon to transmit an inspection signal via the short-distance communication interface for the validation and enforcement area, wherein the inspection signal includes information to prompt displaying of a visual object from the flow on a mobile device receiving the inspection signal in response to a validation;
display the visual object on a display of the enforcement computer;
detect a trigger condition for incrementing to a next visual object in the sequence of the flow;
configure the beacon to transmit a second inspection signal via the short-distance communication interface for the validation and enforcement area, wherein the second inspection signal includes information to prompt displaying of the next visual object in the sequence on a mobile device receiving the second inspection signal in response to a validation; and
display the next visual object in the sequence on the display of the enforcement computer.

Abstract
A secure short-distance-based communication and enforcement system validates users in a validation and enforcement area and can check if users in the validation and enforcement area have been validated. A flow of visual objects may be programmed into an enforcement computer, and used for the validations.

10. A mobile device deployable in a short-distance-based communication and enforcement system for a validation and enforcement area, the mobile device comprising:
-
at least one short-distance communication interface to receive an inspection signal transmitted from an enforcement computer, wherein the inspection signal includes information for a visual object from a flow of visual objects programmed in the enforcement computer; a display; a data storage storing a validation and enforcement application; and a processor executing the validation and enforcement application to extract the information for the visual object from the inspection signal;
determine whether a user associated with the mobile device is validated for the validation and enforcement area; and
display the visual object on the display of the mobile device,wherein the visual object is displayed on a display of the enforcement computer at the same time the visual object displayed on the mobile device if the user associated with the mobile device is determined to be validated for the validation and enforcement area. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14)

15. An enforcement computer deployable in a short-distance-based communication and enforcement system for a validation and enforcement area, the enforcement computer comprising:
-
a short-distance communication interface; a display; an image capture device; and a processor to; receive user input for programming a flow of visual objects displayable in a sequence specified in the programming of the flow; store the programmed flow of visual objects in a data storage of the enforcement computer; configure a beacon to transmit an inspection signal via the short-distance communication interface for the validation and enforcement area, wherein the inspection signal includes information to prompt displaying of a visual object from the flow on a mobile device receiving the inspection signal in response to a validation of a user of the mobile device for the validation and enforcement area; display the visual object on a display of the enforcement computer; receive an input feed from image capture device, wherein the input feed includes at least one image of a display of the mobile device and a user of the mobile device; determine whether the user of the mobile device is validated for the validation and enforcement area based on the input feed and additional information associated with the validation and enforcement area or the user; and display results of the validation on the display of the enforcement computer. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. An inspection beacon deployable in a short-distance-based communication and enforcement system, the inspection beacon comprising:
-
a short-distance communication interface; and a processing circuit to; determine at least one set of unique identifiers (IDs) of visual objects based on received enforcement information; and broadcast the at least one set of unique IDs via the short-distance communication interface for a validation and enforcement area, wherein a mobile device of a validated user within range of the inspection beacon is to receive the at least one set of unique IDs and determine a visual object to display for the validated user based on a unique ID of the received at least one set of unique IDs, and an enforcement computer is to store the at least one set of unique IDs and determine the same visual object to display on the enforcement computer as the visual object displayed by the mobile device based on the unique ID. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
