Beacon placement and distribution

Abstract:

A computer-implemented method includes receiving, by a computing device, information defining a beacon coverage area in which beacon signals transmitted by one or more beacons traverse the beacon coverage area; determining, by the computing device, the beacon coverage area based on the information defining the beacon coverage area; determining, by the computing device, beacon distribution based on the determined beacon coverage area; generating, by the computing device, a report identifying information regarding the beacon distribution; and storing or outputting, by the computing device, the report identifying information regarding the beacon distribution.
