Abstract

Embodiments described herein provide approaches for diagnosing a beacon in an open architecture. Specifically, each of a set of beacons is associated with a beacon location. Each beacon of the set of beacons is a transmit-only device that is designed to emit a relatively short-range electronic signal. When a mobile device, such as a cell phone, enters the venue, the location of the mobile device within the venue is determined. Any information received by the mobile device from the set of beacons is retrieved from the mobile device. This information is used in conjunction with the location of the mobile device to diagnose the operational status of the beacon.
