  • Presence activated radio beacon
    Patent number: 10278013
    Abstract: A radio beacon device is configured to only transmit information about its location or information about the object the radio beacon is associated with when an occupant is present. For example, the radio beacon device may include a presence detector and may transmit the information only when the presence detector detects an occupant. In another example, the radio beacon device may remain in a low battery usage state until a presence detection message is received from a remote radio equipped presence sensor that is in proximity to the radio beacon device or a message is received from a mobile device in proximity to the radio beacon device. Once a presence detection message or message from a mobile device is received, the radio beacon device may transmit the information, e.g., for a predetermined amount of time.
