Abstract

A system and method include a backstage server. The backstage server includes a backstage application executed by a processor. The backstage application receives a notification from a mobile device when the mobile device enters or exits a perimeter. The perimeter is established by adjusting a range of a signal transmitted by a stationary beacon.

Claims

1. A system, comprising:

a backstage server includes a backstage application executed by a processor, the backstage application receives a notification from a mobile device when the mobile device enters or exits an established perimeter; and

where the perimeter is established by adjusting a range of a signal transmitted by a stationary beacon.

2. The system of claim 1, where the backstage application determines an attendance of a student in a class based on the notification.

3. The system of claim 2, where the backstage application determines if a student is tardy for the class, absent from the class or present in the class based on the notification.

4. The system of claim 1, where the backstage application sends an email or a short message service text to an administrator based on the notification.

5. The system of claim 1, where the backstage application pushes a message to the mobile device for display to a student based on the notification.

6. The system of claim 1, where the backstage application determines an attendance of a student for a scholarship based on the notification.

7. The system of claim 1, where the backstage application validates a token received from the mobile device.

8. The system of claim 1, where the signal includes a universally unique identifier.

9. The system of claim 1, where the backstage application sends the notification to an administrative application for viewing by an administrator.

10. A system, comprising:

a mobile device includes a tracker application executed by a processor, the tracker application receives a signal transmitted from a beacon when the mobile device is located within a range of the transmitted signal, the range of the transmitted signal establishing a perimeter; and

the tracker application sending a notification to a backstage server upon entering and exiting the perimeter.

11. The system of claim 10, where the mobile device receives a message that a student is tardy for a class or absent from a class based on the notification.

12. The system of claim 10, where the notification includes a representational state transfer methodology message.

13. The system of claim 10, where the beacon is located within a classroom.

14. The system of claim 10, where the perimeter is further established by geofence.

15. The system of claim 10, where the tracker application is initiated with a token.

16. The system of claim 10, where the tracker application is initiated with a touch identification.

17. The system of claim 10, where the mobile device includes Bluetooth to receive the signal.

18. A method, comprising:

receiving information about a student and a class schedule for the student;

receive a notification of when the student is in class based on a mobile device of the student being within range of a signal transmitted by a stationary beacon; and

comparing the notification with the class schedule to determine if the student is tardy for the class, absent for the class or present for the class.

19. The method of claim 18, where the student comprises a student-athlete.

20. The method of claim 19, further comprising maintaining a scholarship of the student-athlete based on the comparing.
