Abstract
Systems and methods for using wireless beacons in point of purchase (“POP”) displays to facilitate the delivery of consumer oriented content to mobile devices is disclosed. Wireless beacons may be used to broadcast wireless signals from POP displays, where the wireless signals include data packets with unique identifiers for the wireless beacons. The wireless signals may be received by mobile devices. A remote server may communicate with the mobile device and provide the mobile device with up-to-date content associated with the POP displays. A geographic location of the mobile device may be assessed and used to determine if the mobile device is at an acceptable location for displaying the up-to-date content. The wireless beacons may be enclosed in an enclosure that is attached to the POP displays. Sensors may determine when the enclosures are attached/removed from the POP displays.

81. An apparatus, comprising:
-
a wireless beacon located on a circuit board, the circuit board comprising the wireless beacon and a processor, wherein the wireless beacon is configured to broadcast a wireless signal, the wireless signal including a data packet, and wherein the data packet comprises a unique identifier for the wireless beacon; and an enclosure substantially enclosing the circuit board, wherein the enclosure is configured to be attached to a point of purchase (POP) display comprising a consumer product display, the POP display being configured to be deployed at a retail location; and a sensor configured to assess a condition of attachment between the enclosure and the POP display, wherein the wireless beacon is configured to broadcast the wireless signal when the sensor assesses that the enclosure is attached to the POP display. - View Dependent Claims (82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88)
