Abstract
Methods of determining beacon relevance include receiving a beacon broadcast resulting in a received beacon broadcast, wherein the beacon broadcast comprises a range of relevance and informational data, determining a strength of the received beacon broadcast, comparing the range of relevance with the strength of the received beacon broadcast, and identifying the beacon broadcast as relevant if the strength of the received beacon broadcast exceeds the range of relevance.
