1. A method for distributed beacon management, comprising:
- at a physical beacon;
sampling sensor signals with sensors on-board the physical beacon; and
generating beacon telemetry based on the sensor signals;
broadcasting, from the physical beacon, beacon packets comprising a common broadcast identifier and the beacon telemetry;
receiving the beacon packets, from a plurality of user devices, at the remote computing system, wherein each user device receives the respective beacon packet from the physical beacon;
storing the beacon telemetry in association with a beacon identifier at the remote computing system, the beacon identifier determined based on the common broadcast identifier;
monitoring the stored beacon telemetry for occurrence of a predetermined event; and
in response to occurrence of the predetermined event;
generating a notification comprising an event identifier for the predetermined event and identifying information for the physical beacon; and
transmitting the notification to a management account associated with the physical beacon.

5. A method for distributed beacon management, comprising:
-
receiving beacon telemetry for a physical beacon at a remote computing system from a user device, wherein the beacon telemetry is generated by the physical beacon based on sensor signals sampled with sensors on-board the physical beacon, is broadcast by the physical beacon, and is received by the user device; storing the beacon telemetry in association with an identifier for the physical beacon at the remote computing system; monitoring the stored beacon telemetry for occurrence of a predetermined event; and in response to occurrence of the predetermined event; generating a notification comprising an event identifier for the predetermined event and identifying information for the physical beacon; and transmitting the notification to a management client associated with the identifier for the physical beacon. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
