Systems and methods for object tracking using wireless beacons
First Claim
1. A method for presenting location-based notifications to a user device, the method comprising, at a remote system:
- receiving a first application identifier for a first application, wherein the first application identifier identifies a first application of a set of authorized applications associated with a beacon owner;
storing a first manufacturer beacon identifier for a first wireless beacon controlled by the beacon owner;
associating the first application identifier with the first manufacturer beacon identifier;
receiving a first broadcast beacon identifier from a requesting application executed by the user device, wherein the requesting application is identified by a requesting application identifier;
resolving the first broadcast beacon identifier into a first analysis beacon identifier; and
in response to the first analysis beacon identifier matching the first manufacturer beacon identifier and the requesting application identifier matching the first application identifier, authorizing delivery of a first communication, associated with the beacon owner, to the user device through the requesting application.

Abstract
A method for distributing micro-location-based notifications to a computing device includes receiving a unique identifier associated with a first entity, the unique identifier collected from a wireless beacon by a computing device proximal the wireless beacon, receiving identification of a second entity affiliated with the wireless beacon from the first entity; and in response to positive identification of the second entity as an authorized entity, authorizing delivery of a communication from the second entity, the communication executing on the computing device responsive to receipt of the unique identifier at the computing device.

12. A method for presenting micro-location based notifications to a user device the method comprising:
-
receiving a first application identifier from a beacon owner owning a wireless beacon, wherein the first application identifier is for a first application controlled by a secondary entity; associating the first application identifier with a manufacturer beacon identifier for the wireless beacon; receiving a broadcast beacon identifier broadcasted by the wireless beacon; resolving the broadcast beacon identifier into an analysis beacon identifier; and in response to an agreement between the analysis beacon identifier and the manufacturer beacon identifier, facilitating delivery of a communication, associated with the secondary entity, to the user device. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
