Publication number: 20160125319Abstract: Various embodiments each include at least one of systems, methods, devices, and software for beacon device configuration and monitoring, such as with regard to BLUETOOTH® beacon devices. One example embodiment is a method that includes receiving, by a mobile device transceiver from a beacon device, a radio signal including encoded beacon device identifying data. The method then determines, on the mobile device within a mobile device app, whether the beacon device is configured in a backend system for a facility at which the beacon device is deployed. When the beacon device has not been configured, the method includes presenting a beacon device configuration interface within which configuration options are presented and configuration input is received to form configuration data that is stored to the backend system.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 31, 2014Publication date: May 5, 2016Inventors: Taylor Drake Morgan, Eric Josef Goetschalckx
