Abstract
Messaging communications systems and methods are disclosed herein. An example system includes a beacon architecture including a server; and a plurality of beacons arranged around an environment, the server being configured to sense a real-time center of gravity of a communication device from any of the plurality of beacons receiving communications from the communication device, the real-time center of gravity being a location of the communication device within the environment, transmit a notification to the communication device, the notification including a link to content based on the real-time center of gravity, and transmit the content to the communication device based on a selection of the link.
Claims19
A near-field communications system, comprising:
- a wearable electronic device associated with a user identification;
- a plurality of beacons in communication with the wearable electronic device via a low level protocol, wherein each beacon of the plurality of beacons determines a distance between the wearable electronic device and the beacon;
- at least one sensor in communication with the wearable electronic device via the low level protocol, the at least one sensor taking measurements in real time, comparing the measurements to a predetermined threshold, and performing an operation if the measurements exceed the predetermined threshold;
- at least one dongle in communication with the wearable electronic device via the low level protocol, and in communication with a display system;
- and
- at least one central server having a controller with at least one processor coupled to memory, the controller:
- determining a location of the wearable electronic device based on distances between the wearable electronic device and the plurality of beacons, wherein:
- the at least one central server communicates with the wearable electronic device, the plurality of beacons, the at least one sensor and the at least one dongle through a Centralized Radio Access Network (C-RAN) architecture via the low level protocol,
- the at least one central server transmits targeted content to the wearable electronic device based on the location of the wearable electronic device and sends a notification to the wearable electronic device if the location of the wearable electronic device crosses a virtual boundary, and
- the at least one central server is further configured to transmit a token to the wearable electronic device, that allows for delivery of the notification to the wearable electronic device to utilize a native notification functionality of the wearable electronic device.
