Smart content delivery using beacons

A device, comprising:

• a memory device storing a set of processor-executable instructions;
• and
• a processor configured to execute the processor-executable instructions, wherein executing the processor-executable instructions causes the device to:
• wirelessly detect one or more identifiers that have been broadcasted by one or more beacon-emitting devices;
• output, to an admin device, a request to register as a beacon-emitting device, the request including:
• identifying information regarding the device, and
• the one or more identifiers that have been wirelessly detected by the device,
• wherein the admin device validates the request based on the identifying information and the one or more identifiers that have been wirelessly detected by the device;
• receive, from the admin device, an indication that the request has been validated, the indication including a unique identifier assigned by the admin device, wherein the unique identifier is unique with respect to identifiers, assigned by the admin device for one or more other beacon-emitting devices;
• obtain, based on receiving the indication that the request has been validated, locator information for promotional content that provides information regarding one or more features of the device;
• output, based on receiving the indication that the request has been validated, and via a short-range wireless technology, beacon signals that include the unique identifier assigned by the admin device;
• receive, from a user device and in response to the beacon signals, a request for the promotional content;
• and
• provide, to the user device and based on the request, at least one of:
• the promotional content regarding the one or more features of the device, or
• the locator information for the promotional content.

A method, comprising:

• storing a plurality of unique identifiers that are each wirelessly broadcasted by a respective beacon device, of a plurality of beacon devices;
• receiving, from a particular device, identifying information associated with the particular device;
• determining that the identifying information, received from the particular device, matches previously stored identifying information of the particular device;
• receiving, from the particular device, at least one unique identifier, of the plurality of unique identifiers, that has been broadcasted by at least one device of the plurality of devices, and has been wirelessly detected by the particular device;
• determining that the at least one unique identifier, that has been wirelessly detected by the particular device, matches at least one unique identifier of the stored plurality of unique identifiers of the plurality of beacon devices;
• validating the particular device based on:
• the determination that the identifying information, received from the particular device, matches the previously stored identifying information of the particular device, and
• the determination that the received at least one unique identifier, that was wirelessly detected by the particular device, matches the at least one unique identifier of the stored plurality of unique identifiers of the plurality of beacon devices;
• assigning, based on validating the particular device, a particular unique identifier to the particular device, the particular unique identifier being unique with respect to the unique identifiers that are associated with the plurality of beacon devices;
• and
• outputting, to the particular device, the unique identifier associated with the particular device, wherein outputting the unique identifier to the particular device causes the particular device to wirelessly broadcast beacon signals that include the stored unique identifier, associated with the particular device, that was assigned to the particular device by the system.
