Abstract: A system and method for locating a mobile device are presented. A mobile device is configured to transmit a beacon signal encoding an identifier of the mobile device. A relay device has a known location and is configured to receive the beacon signal from the mobile device, the beacon signal having a signal level, encode the identifier of the mobile device, the signal level, and an identifier of the relay device into a message, and transmit the message. A console device is configured to decode the message received from the relay device to identify an approximate location of the mobile device.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a museum tour system to be used by a museum administrator and a museum guest. The system can include a museum object database in a server to store a plurality of museum object records. The system can also include a museum portal that can provide a user interface in which the museum administrator adds museum object records, creates tours, edits tours, or adds products. The system can include a mobile device application to provide a tour segment to a mobile computing device of the museum guest when the museum guest approaches the museum object. The mobile device application can recognize a proximity of the museum guest to the museum object in order to choose the appropriate tour segment.
