System and method for providing content using beacon systems
First Claim
1. A method for personalizing and delivering content using beacons, the method comprising, while a first beacon system is communicably coupled to an output display:
- a) broadcasting a first beacon identifier identifying the first beacon system from the first beacon system to a first user device;
b) receiving the first beacon identifier at a content determination system from the first user device;
c) receiving, at the content determination system, a supplementary beacon identifier identifying a supplementary beacon;
d) determining contextual content at the content determination system based on the first beacon identifier and the supplementary beacon identifier;
e) transmitting the contextual content from the content determination system to the first user device, wherein the first user device automatically transmits the contextual content to the first beacon system in response to receiving the contextual content;
f) receiving the contextual content at the first beacon system from the first user device; and
g) controlling the output display with the first beacon system to present the contextual content.

Abstract
A method and system for broadcasting a beacon identifier identifying the beacon system from the beacon system to a user device, receiving the beacon identifier at a content determination system from the user device, determining contextual content at the content determination system based on the beacon identifier, transmitting the contextual content from the content determination system to the user device, where the user device automatically transmits the contextual content to the first beacon system in response to receiving the contextual content, receiving the contextual content at the beacon system from the user device, and controlling the output display with the beacon system to present the contextual content.

8. A method for personalizing and delivering content using beacons, the method comprising, while a beacon system is drawing power from an output display through a first wired connection:
-
a) detecting motion of a first beacon, separate and distinct from the beacon system; b) in response to detecting the motion of the first beacon, receiving, at a content determination system, a first beacon identifier identifying the first beacon; c) determining contextual content with the content determination system based on the first beacon identifier; d) receiving the contextual content at the beacon system; and e) sending the contextual content from the beacon system to the output display through a second wired connection. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10)

11. A method for personalizing and delivering content using beacons, the method comprising, while a first beacon system is communicably coupled to an output display:
-
a) broadcasting a first beacon identifier identifying the first beacon system from the first beacon system to a first user device; b) receiving the first beacon identifier at a content determination system from the first user device; c) determining contextual content at the content determination system based on the first beacon identifier; d) transmitting the contextual content from the content determination system to the first user device, wherein the first user device automatically transmits the contextual content to the first beacon system in response to receiving the contextual content; e) receiving the contextual content at the first beacon system from the first user device; f) controlling the output display with the first beacon system to present the contextual content; g) receiving a second beacon identifier at the content determination system from the first user device within a predetermined time period from first beacon identifier receipt, the second beacon identifier identifying a second beacon system; h) determining a location parameter for the user based on the first and the second beacon identifiers; and i) selecting, based on the location parameter, a beacon system from the first and the second beacon systems to control presentation of the contextual content, wherein d) through f) are performed in response to selecting the first beacon system. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14)
