  • Publication number: 20240169789
    Abstract: A system for proximity-based digital interactions includes a beacon transmitter configured to wirelessly broadcast a first interaction prompt message that includes a first interaction event code. A system server is configured to: receive an event activation message that includes the first interaction event code; identify and perform a first pre-programmed action; identify proximity between a mobile computing device and the beacon transmitter based on receipt of the first interaction event code from the mobile computing device; create a second interaction event code that is targeted to be performed by the mobile computing device; and transmit a configuration message to the beacon transmitter that includes the second interaction event code, causing the beacon transmitter to begin broadcasting a second interaction prompt message including the second interaction event code together with the first interaction prompt message, where the first interaction event code is different than the second interaction even code.

  • Patent number: 11783667
    Abstract: An electronic gaming system including a casino management server and an electronic casino device is described. The electronic casino device includes a beacon configured to wirelessly communicate with end user devices (EUDs) of players and a processor. The processor executes instructions which cause the processor to transmit a request for a custom beacon ID, receive the custom beacon ID, and cause the beacon to wirelessly transmit the custom beacon ID to the EUD. The casino management server is configured to receive a connection request and validate that the received beacon ID matches the custom beacon ID. The casino management server is further configured to receive instructions from the EUD such that the player plays a game operated on the electronic casino device by physically interacting with the EUD, wherein the instructions received from the EUD include a low-bandwidth instruction including no more than two bytes.
