BEACON MANAGEMENT

1 . A beacon management system comprising:

a processor, and

a computer readable storage media including instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to:

display a venue map;

add a first beacon at a first location on the venue map upon receiving a first command from a user;

add a second beacon at a second location on the venue map upon receiving a second command from the user;

receive first configuration information including a first beacon name for the first beacon;

receive second configuration information including a second beacon name for the second beacon;

receive a venue label from the user; and

associate the venue label with the first beacon and with the second beacon.

2 . The beacon management system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to:

display a set of location types, wherein the set of location types includes geofence, single beacon, and venue;

receive a location type command from the user selecting venue.

3 . The beacon management system of claim 1 , wherein the first command includes a drag and drop operation of a first beacon icon onto the first location of the venue map to add the first beacon at the first location.

4 . The beacon management system of claim 1 , wherein the first configuration information is received through a first flyout that is displayed on the venue map upon selection of the first beacon.

5 . The beacon management system of claim 4 , wherein the first flyout includes a first name field, a first global unique identifier (GUID) field, a first description field, a first major number field, and a first minor number field.

6 . The beacon management system of claim 1 , wherein second configuration information is received through a second flyout that is displayed on the venue map upon selection of the second beacon.

7 . The beacon management system of claim 6 , wherein the second flyout includes a second name field, a second global unique identifier (GUID) field, a second description field, a second major number field, and a second minor number field.

8 . The beacon management system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to:

populate a beacon corral with the first beacon name; and

populate the beacon corral with the second beacon name.

9 . The beacon management system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to:

display the venue on a large map.

10 . The beacon management system of claim 9 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to:

display the venue map;

display, on the venue map, the first beacon and activity of the first beacon over a first period of time; and

display, on the venue map, the second beacon and activity of the second beacon over the first period of time.

11 . The beacon management system of claim 10 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to:

change the first period of time into a second period of time in response to a single command for all beacons associated with the venue;

display, on the venue map, the first beacon and activity of the first beacon over the second period of time; and

display, on the venue map, the second beacon and activity of the second beacon over the second period of time.

12 . The beacon management system of claim 11 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to:

display venue information including at least one summary of activity occurring at each individual beacon associated with the venue.

13 . A method for managing beacons, the method comprising:

displaying a venue map;

adding a first beacon at a first location on the venue map upon receiving a first command from a user;

adding a second beacon at a second location on the venue map upon receiving a second command from the user;

receiving first configuration information including a first beacon name for the first beacon;

receiving second configuration information including a second beacon name for the second beacon;

receiving a venue label from the user; and

associating the venue label with the first beacon and with the second beacon.

14 . A computer readable storage media including instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the following actions to occur:

display a venue map;

add a first beacon at a first location on the venue map upon receiving a first command from a user;

add a second beacon at a second location on the venue map upon receiving a second command from the user;

receive first configuration information including a first beacon name for the first beacon;

receive second configuration information including a second beacon name for the second beacon;

receive a venue label from the user; and

associate the venue label with the first beacon and with the second beacon.
