  • Patent number: 10028081
    Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer-readable media configured to determine a location of a user, identify the user and provide additional services based on the determined location and/or identity are provided. In some examples, a signal emitted from a beacon may be detected by a personal computing device of a user within a predefined proximity of the beacon. The location of the beacon, and the device detecting the signal, may be determined and the identity of the user associated with the device may be determined. Authentication information may be requested from the user. The request for authentication information may be transmitted to the personal computing device and the user may provide the authentication information via the device.

  • Publication number: 20160014600
    Abstract: Systems and methods for using proximity positioning systems to determine multiple locations a user, identify the user and provide additional services and/or functionality based on the determined locations are presented. In some examples, a low-power radio signal emitted from a locating beacon may be detected by a personal computing device. The location of the beacon, and the device detecting the signal, may be determined. A low-power radio signal emitted from a second beacon may be detected and the location of the second beacon, and personal computing device detecting the signal, may be determined. If the signal from the first beacon was detected within a predetermined time threshold of detecting the second beacon, a flag may be triggered. Notifications may be transmitted to the user and/or the entity associated with the locating beacons to indicate the user may be in need of assistance and/or to reduce the risk of unauthorized activity.
