METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING BEACON SERVICE
First Claim
1. A beacon service provision method implemented by a terminal device, the method comprising steps of:
- registering at least one beacon service at a user'"'"'s request;
receiving, from a service management server, first beacon identification information corresponding to the registered beacon service;
storing the first beacon identification information;
receiving, from a beacon device, a beacon signal containing second beacon identification information;
comparing the second beacon identification information with the first beacon identification information; and
if the second beacon identification information is identical with the first beacon identification information, offering service content corresponding to the second identification information.

Abstract
A user'"'"'s terminal device and a service management server can provide specific service content associated with a registered beacon service to a user. In an embodiment, the terminal device registers at least one beacon service at a user'"'"'s request and sends information about the registered beacon service to the service management server. Then the terminal device receives first beacon identification information corresponding to the registered beacon service from the service management server and stores the first beacon identification information. Further, when a beacon signal containing second beacon identification information is received from a beacon device, the terminal device compares the second beacon identification information with the first beacon identification information. If both of identification information are identical with each other, the terminal device offers service content corresponding to the second identification information.
