Abstract
In some implementations, methods for selecting a set of beacons that are to be monitored by a mobile device may be employed. Specifically, an optimal set of beacons to monitor may be provided to a mobile device depending on particular groups of beacons that are in proximity to the mobile device, the distance from the mobile device to each of the particular groups of beacons, and the mobile device's position/movements as provided by a tracking service such as GPS. These techniques may ensure that the mobile device is not blind to the closest and/or most relevant beacons.
