1. A method for beacon parameter migration, comprising:
- broadcasting a first and second identifier from a first and second Bluetooth beacon, respectively;
at a user device;
receiving the first and second identifiers;
connecting to the first and second Bluetooth beacons based on the first and second identifiers, respectively;
retrieving parameter values for the first Bluetooth beacon from the first Bluetooth beacon;
transmitting the parameter values to the second beacon; and
transmitting the first and second identifiers and the parameter values to a remote processing system;
at the second Bluetooth beacon;
storing the parameter values in on-board storage;
broadcasting based on the parameter values, comprising broadcasting the first identifier;
at the remote processing system;
resolving the first and second identifiers into a first and second unique identifier for the first and second Bluetooth beacon, respectively;
associating the parameter values with the second unique identifier; and
transmitting a confirmation packet to the user device in response to parameter value association with the second unique identifier.

11. A method for Bluetooth beacon parameter migration, comprising:
-
determining new beacon collocation with a configured Bluetooth beacon; retrieving parameter values for the configured Bluetooth beacon from the configured Bluetooth beacon, with a user device, in response to collocation determination; transmitting the parameter values from the user device to the remote computing system; broadcasting a first and second identifier from the configured Bluetooth beacon and the new beacon, respectively; receiving the first and second identifier at the user device; transmitting the first and second identifier from the user device to a remote computing system; associating the parameter values with the new beacon at the remote computing system in response to receiving the first and second identifier at the remote computing system, comprising; resolving the second identifier into a unique beacon identifier for the new beacon; and associating the parameter values, received from the user device, with the unique beacon identifier at the remote computing system; transmitting a confirmation packet to the user device in response to parameter value association with the unique beacon identifier; storing the parameter values on the new beacon; and operating the new beacon according to the parameter values. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)
