Method and apparatus for providing beacon service
First Claim
1. A beacon service provision method implemented by a service management server, the method comprising:
- receiving schedule information from a terminal device;
establishing a travel path to a destination of the terminal device based on the received schedule information;
extracting at least one beacon device located on the established travel path;
registering first beacon identification information of the at least one extracted beacon device;
receiving, from the terminal device, second beacon identification information offered by a beacon device;
comparing the second beacon identification information with the first beacon identification information; and
if the second beacon identification information is not identical to first beacon identification information, resetting the established travel path and transmitting the reset travel path to the terminal device.

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.
