Beacon-implemented system for mobile content management
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a plurality of location-based source devices selected from a group comprising one or more of beacon transmitters, Quick Response (QR) codes and Near Field Communication (NFC) devices, each associated with a source Uniform Resource Locator (URL) comprising a domain associated with a hosted server and a unique identifier;
a user interface associated with the hosted server and accessible via a communications network to enable designation by an authorized user of one or more destination URLs for one or more of the respective source devices, and displayable metadata in association with the one or more destination URLs for the respective source devices;
a client device having a hosted mobile application residing thereon, and configuredupon reading the source URL from one or more source devices to generate a first request to the hosted server,wherein the hosted server is configured to coordinate with the client device to generate one or more selectable tokens corresponding respectively to the one or more source devices and comprising displayed metadata, andfurther upon user selection of one of the one or more tokens, to generate a second request including contextual information to the hosted server; and
wherein the hosted server is configured, upon receiving the second request from the client device, to generate a return message directing the client device to at least one of the one or more destination URLs designated for the respective source device and based at least in part on the contextual information included in the second message.

Abstract
A mobile content management system includes a plurality of location-based source devices (e.g., beacon transmitters, QR codes, NFC tags), each associated with a source URL comprising a hosted domain and a unique identifier. A hosted user interface enables designation by an authorized user of destination URLs for the respective source devices. A client device with a resident hosted mobile application reads the source URL from a source device and generates a first call to the hosted server comprising the source device identifier, wherein selectable tokens are generated on the client device interface comprising displayed metadata corresponding to the source device and previewing selectable destination content. Upon user selection of a token, the application generates a second call to the hosted server, wherein the hosted server directs the client device to at least one of the one or more destination URLs designated for the respective source device.
