A method and system are disclosed that collect data from various devices, such as sensors, to a mobile device traveling in proximity to such devices. The mobile device may travel with a user who is traveling a regular-scheduled route. The devices may output a signal at a low frequency to preserve battery power. The mobile device may form an ad hoc connection with the devices using Bluetooth Low Energy, for example, and retrieve the data while the mobile device is in proximity to each of the devices. In this manner, the devices do not need to transmit data over long ranges or at a high speed, thereby preserving batter power for the devices.

Method and system for high-latency data collection from sensors

A framework for a machine-to-machine (M2M) application development is disclosed. The framework enables users to login and affect devices and applications that may interact with the devices by enabling M2M applications. The framework enables M2M application creation, management, and development of various profiled devices based on pre-defined data models associated with corresponding devices. Furthermore, the framework enables marketplace options to permit users to specify purchase options as well as to buy devices and applications.

Apparatus, method and system for providing machine-to-machine applications development

An asset guardian system may comprise a server including a processor with memory and a database. The processor may be configured to receive asset information regarding a plurality of assets and update the database with the received asset information. A mobile device may be configured to change at least one of the assets from a disabled condition to an enabled condition in response to an asset code from the server. At least one of the plurality of assets may be configured to authenticate the asset code and register the asset code with the server thereby updating the asset information on the database. At least one of the plurality of assets may further be configured to be operatively paired with a respective socket.

A system may receive a beacon identifier. The system may translate the beacon identifier to a virtual beacon identifier. The virtual beacon identifier may be associated with an entity. The system may determine message information based on the virtual beacon identifier. The message information may include information associated with a message to be provided for display to a user and may be associated with the entity. The system may provide, for display to the user, the message associated with the message information.

Providing a message based on translating a beacon identifier to a virtual beacon identifier

A method, performed by one or more computer devices, may include generating a sequence script for a venue event, wherein the sequence script is configured to synchronize a plurality of user devices located at the venue during the venue event to form one or more images discernable when the devices are viewed collectively. The method may further include obtaining user registration information associated with the venue event, wherein the user registration information identifies user devices registered to participate in the generation of the one or more images; detecting a trigger event associated with the sequence script; and orchestrating the plurality of user devices to form the one or more images, in response to detecting the trigger event.
