1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving a definition of an augmented beacon comprising a geographical area of interest, wherein digital content is associated with at least one of the augmented beacon and a physical beacon;
determining that a target device is within the geographical area of interest of the augmented beacon;
providing a notification to the target device from one of the augmented beacon and the physical beacon;
receiving a confirmation from the other of the augmented beacon and the physical beacon; and
in response to receiving the confirmation, providing an indication that the digital content associated with at least one of the augmented beacon and the physical beacon can be displayed by the target device.

Abstract
Systems and methods for providing augmented beacons are described. In one implementation, an augmented beacon server receives a definition of an augmented beacon defining a geographical area of interest, where digital content is associated with the augmented beacon. Based on a determination that a target device is within the geographical area of interest of the augmented beacon, the augmented beacon server provides an unique identifier associated with the augmented beacon to the target device, where the unique identifier comprises an indication that the digital content associated with the augmented beacon can be displayed by the target device.
