1. An apparatus comprising:
- a communications interface configured to receive a beacon transmission from a wireless device, the beacon transmission including a beacon message and a data file, wherein the wireless device is configured to periodically broadcast beacon transmissions, each beacon transmission including the beacon message and the data file;
a memory device; and
a processor configured to;
determine whether a value satisfies a threshold, the value based on a number of additional beacon transmissions received from the wireless device; and
in response to the value satisfying the threshold;
cause the memory device to store the data file;
execute an application to display content based on the data file in response to determining that the data file is associated with the application; and
verify, by the application, integrity of the data file, wherein verifying the integrity of the data file includes comparing a first value generated by the application to a second value included in the data file, the first value generated by the application based on a timestamp associated with the data file and a keyword accessible to the application.

Abstract
An apparatus includes a communications interface configured to receive a transmission from a wireless device. The transmission may include a beacon message and a date file. The apparatus may further include a memory device and a processor. The processor may be configured to determine whether a threshold is satisfied based on whether additional transmissions including the data file are received from the wireless device. The processor may be further configured to cause the memory device to store the data file in response to determining that the threshold is satisfied.

4. A method comprising:
-
detecting, at a first wireless device, a beacon transmission from a second wireless device, the beacon transmission including a beacon message and a data file, wherein the second wireless device is configured to periodically broadcast beacon transmissions, each beacon transmission including the beacon message and the data file; determining whether a value satisfies a threshold, the value based on a number of additional beacon transmissions received from the second wireless device; and in response to the value satisfying the threshold; storing the data file at a memory of the first wireless device; executing, at the first wireless device, an application to display content based on the data file in response to determining that the data file is associated with the application; and verifying, at the first wireless device by the application, integrity of the data file, wherein verifying the integrity of the data file includes comparing a first value generated by the application to a second value included in the data file, the first value generated by the application based on a timestamp associated with the data file and a keyword accessible to the application. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A computer-readable storage device storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
-
detecting a beacon transmission from a wireless device, the beacon transmission including a beacon message and a data file, wherein the wireless device is configured to periodically broadcast beacon transmissions, each beacon transmission including the beacon message and the data file; determining whether a value satisfies a threshold, the value based on additional beacon transmissions from the wireless device; and in response to the value satisfying the threshold; storing the data file; executing an application to display content based on the data file in response to determining that the data file is associated with the application; and verifying, by the application, integrity of the data file, wherein verifying the integrity of the data file includes comparing a first value generated by the application to a second value included in the data file, the first value generated by the application based on a timestamp associated with the data file and a keyword accessible to the application. - View Dependent Claims (20)
