Estimating the term…
Beacon devices and associated components, methods, etc., are disclosed. An example beacon device includes a memory, a communication interface, and a processor to execute instructions with respect to configuration information to control the communication interface and operation of the processor based on a mode in which the beacon device is set to operate, the processor to dynamically transition among a plurality of modes based on an operating condition of the beacon device and a communication received from at least one of the receiver or the controller. In certain examples, the plurality of modes includes a configuration mode and a broadcast mode. When in the configuration mode, the operation of the processor is to process the communication received from the controller to adjust the configuration information. When in the broadcast mode, the operation of the processor is to generate a beacon signal to transmit to at least one of the receiver or the controller via the communication interface.
A low-power, short-range radio frequency wireless beacon device comprising:
At least one non-transitory medium including instructions which, when executed, cause at least one processor in a beacon device to at least execute the instructions with respect to configuration information to control a communication interface and operation of the at least one processor based on a mode in which the beacon device is set to operate, the processor to dynamically transition among a plurality of modes based on an operating condition of the beacon device and a communication received from at least one of a receiver or a controller,
A method of controlling a beacon device including at least one processor and a communication interface, the method comprising:
