Abstract:
A beacon transmitter device (BTD 1 ; 700; 900 ) is disclosed. The beacon transmitter device comprises a controller ( 710; 910 ) and a short-range wireless beacon transmitter ( 732; 932 ). The controller is configured to cause a first transmission (S 12 ) of a short-range wireless beacon signal (BA 1 ) by the beacon transmitter, the beacon signal identifying a beacon region. The controller is also configured to wait during a beacon delay time period (BDTP), and then cause a second transmission (S 32 ) of the short-range wireless beacon signal (BA 1 ) by the beacon transmitter. The beacon delay time period (BDTP) is sufficiently long to allow a short-range wireless beacon receiver device (P 1 ), when being in a passive mode, being in range of the beacon region and having received the first transmission of the beacon signal, to receive and react (S 34 ) on the second transmission of the beacon signal.

Claim (Index 23):
A beacon communication system comprising a plurality of beacon transmitter devices, each beacon transmitter device comprising a controller and a short-range wireless beacon transmitter, the controller being configured to cause a first transmission of a short-range wireless beacon signal by the beacon transmitter, the beacon signal identifying a beacon region, wait during a beacon delay time period, and cause a second transmission of the short-range wireless beacon signal by the beacon transmitter, wherein the beacon delay time period is sufficiently long to allow a short-range wireless beacon receiver device, when being in a passive mode, being in range of the beacon region and having received the first transmission of the beacon signal, to receive and react on the second transmission of the beacon signal, wherein the first transmission of the short-range wireless beacon signal, the waiting during the beacon delay time period, and the second transmission of the short-range wireless beacon signal occur essentially concurrently at the respective beacon transmitter devices, the beacon communication system further comprising an external device, each beacon transmitter device having a communication interface for data communication, wherein:\n the external device is configured to periodically send a beacon transmission synchronization signal to the beacon transmitter devices; and wherein the controller of each beacon transmitter device is further configured to: receive a first beacon transmission synchronization signal from the external device via the communication interface; cause the first transmission of the short-range wireless beacon signal by the beacon transmitter; receive a second beacon transmission synchronization signal from the external device via the communication interface; and cause the second transmission of the short-range wireless beacon signal by the beacon transmitter.
