Management of an adaptive relay method for lost-device bluetooth low energy signaling

An access point (AP) comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory containing a program that, when executed by the processor, performs an operation comprising:
• detecting a first signal and a second signal from a computing device within an environment;
• performing a validation of the first signal, based at least in part on one or more parameters of the first signal and one or more parameters of the second signal;
• and
• after performing the validation of the first signal, transmitting information regarding the first signal to a computing system.

A computer-implemented method performed by an apparatus, the computer-implemented method comprising:

• receiving a plurality of first messages from a plurality of access points (APs), each first message comprising information regarding a device signal received by the AP from a computing device;
• selecting, based on an evaluation of each of the plurality of first messages, a first AP of the plurality of APs as a primary reporting AP;
• transmitting, to the first AP, a second message comprising an indication that the first AP is the primary reporting AP;
• and
• after transmitting the second message, forwarding the first message to a computing system.
