Systems and methods for short-range communication between devices
The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for communicating between devices using short-range communication links. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to systems and methods for communicating access-right data between devices for verification or transfer.
1. A method for configuring setting for a user device located at a venue of an event, the method comprising:
defining a configuration setting for a plurality of user devices, wherein the configuration setting includes one or more protocols for validation of access rights associated with the plurality of user devices for entry to the venue of the event;
identifying a first set of user devices of the plurality of user devices that are located at a first position around the venue;
determining that the first set of user devices is within a predetermined range;
establishing, based on the determination, a short-range communication link with the first set of user devices;
transmitting, using the short-range communication link, the configuration setting to the first set of user devices; and
receiving a notification indicating storage of the configuration setting on the first set of user devices.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more protocols are valid for each event of a plurality of events associated with the venue.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more protocols are valid for a predetermined event of a plurality of events associated with the venue.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein defining the configuration setting includes:
accessing an access right management system to select one or more profiles to be applied to the event; and
defining, based on the one or more profiles, the configuration setting.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first set of user devices are configured to:
receive periodic beacon signals from a control device; and
determine a position of the control device based on the periodic beacon signals.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the short-range communication link includes one of Bluetooth, Near Field Communication, or Radio Frequency Identifier.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the configuration setting of a second set of user devices of the plurality of user devices located at a second position around the venue is different from the configuration setting of the first set of user devices.
8. A control device to configure setting for a user device located at a venue of an event, the control device configured to:
define a configuration setting for a plurality of user devices, wherein:
the configuration setting includes one or more protocols for validation of access rights associated with the plurality of user devices for entry to the venue of the event;
identify a first set of user devices of the plurality of user devices that are located at a first position around venue;
determine that the first set of user devices is within a predetermined range;
establish, based on the determination, a short-range communication link with the first set of user devices;
transmit, using the short-range communication link, the configuration setting to the first set of user devices; and
receive a notification indicating storage of the configuration setting on the first set of user devices.
9. The control device of claim 8 , wherein the one or more protocols are valid for each event of a plurality of events associated with the venue.
10. The control device of claim 8 , wherein the one or more protocols are valid for a predetermined event of a plurality of events associated with the venue.
11. The control device of claim 8 , further configured to:
access an access right management system to select one or more profiles to be applied to the event; and
define, based on the one or more profiles, the configuration setting.
12. The control device of claim 8 , further configured to:
transmit periodic beacon signals to the first set of user devices; and
determine, based on the periodic beacon signals, a position of each of the first set of user devices.
13. The control device of claim 8 , wherein the short-range communication link includes one of Bluetooth, Near Field Communication, or Radio Frequency Identifier.
14. The control device of claim 8 , wherein the configuration setting of a second set of user devices of the plurality of user devices located at a second position around the venue is different from the configuration setting of the first set of user devices.
15. A computer-program product tangibly embodied in a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium, including instructions configured to cause a control device to configure setting for a user device located at a venue of an event, including:
defining a configuration setting for a plurality of user devices, wherein:
the configuration setting includes one or more protocols for validation of access rights associated with the plurality of user devices for entry to the venue of the event;
identifying a first set of user devices of the plurality of user devices that are located at a first position around venue;
determining that the first set of user devices is within a predetermined range;
establishing, based on the determination, a short-range communication link with the first set of user devices;
transmitting, using the short-range communication link, the configuration setting to the first set of user devices; and
receiving a notification indicating storage of the configuration setting on the first set of user devices.
16. The computer-program product of claim 15 , wherein the one or more protocols are valid for each event of a plurality of events associated with the venue.
17. The computer-program product of claim 15 , wherein the one or more protocols are valid for a predetermined event of a plurality of events associated with the venue.
18. The computer-program product of claim 15 , wherein defining the configuration setting includes:
accessing an access right management system to select one or more profiles to be applied to the event; and
defining, based on the one or more profiles, the configuration setting.
19. The computer-program product of claim 15 wherein the first set of user devices are configured to:
receive periodic beacon signals from the control device; and
determine, based on the periodic beacon signals, a position of the control device.
20. The computer-program product of claim 15 , wherein the short-range communication link includes one of Bluetooth, Near Field Communication, or Radio Frequency Identifier.
