SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING WIRELESS-BEACON-RELATED SERVICES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18452840 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING WIRELESS-BEACON-RELATED SERVICES
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a system for updating a database with wireless connection information and providing this information to other devices. Here are the key points:
- Wireless connection information for wireless devices is received and used to update entries in a database.
- Instructions to provide connection information to a second device are received via a first device.
- Based on the instructions and the entries in the database, first wireless connection information for a first wireless beacon device is provided to the second device.
- The first wireless connection information includes security information for connecting to the first wireless beacon device.
- The first wireless beacon device is selected based on its proximity to the location of the second device.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Smart home systems: The system can update the database with wireless connection information from various smart devices and provide this information to other devices in the home network.
- Retail and marketing: The system can update the database with wireless connection information from beacons placed in stores, allowing customers to receive relevant information and offers on their devices based on their proximity to these beacons.
- Industrial automation: The system can update the database with wireless connection information from sensors and devices in an industrial setting, enabling efficient monitoring and control of equipment.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Simplifies the process of updating a database with wireless connection information by automating the process.
- Enables easy sharing of wireless connection information between devices, eliminating the need for manual configuration.
- Improves the user experience by providing secure and accurate wireless connection information to devices based on their proximity to beacon devices.
Benefits of this technology:
- Streamlines the setup and configuration of wireless devices by automatically updating the database with connection information.
- Enhances the connectivity and communication between devices by providing accurate and secure wireless connection information.
- Improves the efficiency and effectiveness of various applications, such as smart home systems and retail marketing, by leveraging proximity-based wireless connection information.
Original Abstract Submitted
In some embodiments, wireless connection information for wireless devices may be received. Based on the wireless connection information, one or more entries stored in a database may be updated. One or more instructions to provide connection information to a second device may be received via a first device of a user. Based on the instructions and the entries, first wireless connection information for a first wireless beacon device may be provided to the second device. In some embodiments, the first wireless connection information may include security information that enables the second user device to connect to the first wireless beacon device. In some embodiments, the first wireless beacon device may be selected from a set of devices based on a proximity of the first wireless beacon device to a location of the second device.
