Abstract: Provided are a method and apparatus for managing a beacon device. More particularly, a beacon management server is connected with the beacon device through a communication network and configured to periodically updates and manages a valid period of the beacon device. The beacon device initializes itself by autonomously deleting beacon information stored therein when the beacon device has been disconnected from the beacon management server for a certain time or more. Thus, the beacon device may be managed through the beacon management server. An operation of the beacon device may be controlled even when the beacon device is lost, thereby preventing illegal use of the beacon device by controlling a beacon signal that is transmitted even after the beacon device is lost. In addition, the beacon management server may verify the validity of the beacon device to give security to the beacon device and periodically update the valid period, thereby allowing efficient use of the beacon device.
