Systems and methods for managed meeting rooms

A method of managing a meeting room in which each of a plurality of beacon devices is located at a known location within the meeting room, comprising:

• communicating with the beacon devices and locating client devices with respect to the known locations of the beacon devices based on signal strengths of beacon notifications received by the beacon devices from the client devices, and determining whether or not the locations of the client devices are situated within the meeting room;
• comparing device identifiers of the client devices determined to have locations that are within the meeting room with device identifiers of client devices of invited users to detect whether or not client devices of uninvited users are present in the meeting room;
• transmitting an uninvited user notification to a remote computing device in response to detecting that a client device of an uninvited user is present in the meeting room;
• and
• upon receiving a suspension command for the meeting room from the remote computing device in response to the uninvited user notification, executing a suspension action on a meeting room device located in the meeting room.

A non-transitory, computer-readable medium, comprising machine readable instructions that, when executed by a processor of a computing device, cause the computing device to carry out a method of managing a meeting room in which each of a plurality of beacon devices is located at a known location within the meeting room, said method comprising:

• communicating with the beacon devices and locating client devices with respect to the known locations of the beacon devices based on signal strengths of beacon notifications received by the beacon devices from the client devices, and determining whether or not the locations of the client devices are situated within the meeting room;
• comparing device identifiers of the client devices determined to have locations that are within the meeting room with device identifiers of client devices of invited users to detect whether or not client devices of uninvited users are present in the meeting room;
• transmitting an uninvited user notification to a remote computing device in response to detecting that a client device of an uninvited user is present in the meeting room;
• and
• upon receiving a suspension command for the meeting room from the remote computing device in response to the uninvited user notification, executing a suspension action on a meeting room device located in the meeting room.
