Physical web beacon, client and proxy

A physical-web beacon

• to communicate over a first network with a mobile machine,
• to communicate over a second network with a management device,
• the mobile machine to communicate with a proxy to redirect the mobile machine to a network resource on a second network based at least in part on data provided over the first network, the beacon comprising:
• a first communication interface path to broadcast a beacon data to the mobile machine over the first network;
• a second communication interface to receive an update from the management device over the second network, the update encoded in accord with a cryptosystem;
• a context analyzer to at least determine a context for the beacon;
• and
• a security module to at least validate the update from the management device based on the context.

A method for a proxy to communicate over a first network with a mobile machine, the mobile machine at least temporarily to communicate with a beacon for the physical-web broadcasting beacon data to the mobile machine, the method comprising:

• receiving the mobile data from the mobile machine;
• validating the mobile data corresponds to the beacon data;
• validating the mobile data complies with a context for the beacon;
• dynamically selecting a redirection target from a data store based at least in part on the mobile data and based at least in part on the context for the beacon;
• and
• redirecting the mobile machine based to the redirection target.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media having instructions for a proxy to communicate over a first network with a mobile machine, the mobile machine at least temporarily to communicate with a beacon for the physical-web broadcasting beacon data to the mobile machine, the instructions to provide for:

• receiving the mobile data from the mobile machine;
• validating the mobile data corresponds to the beacon data;
• validating the mobile data complies with a context for the beacon;
• dynamically selecting a redirection target from a data store based at least in part on the mobile data and based at least in part on the context for the beacon;
• and
• redirecting the mobile machine based to the redirection target.
