Systems and Methods for Controlling and Locating the Source of a Remote Beacon Signal

A method for controlling and locating the source of a remote signal, the method comprising:

• transmitting, from a first electronic device, a first wireless signal containing information concerning a power level of the first electronic device;
• measuring, by a second electronic device, a strength of the first wireless signal;
• approximating by the second electronic device, based on the measured strength of the first wireless signal, a proximity of the second electronic device to the first electronic device;
• identifying by the second electronic device, based on the approximated proximity and the information concerning the power level of the first electronic device, one or more changes to a configuration of the first wireless signal for optimizing power consumption of the first electronic device during a search for the first electronic device;
• and
• instructing the first electronic device, via a second wireless signal from the second electronic device, to transmit the first wireless signal with the at least one or more identified configuration changes.
