Disclosed are various embodiments for managing location-based service zones being monitored by a client device. The location-based service zones within a geographic region can be organized in location-based service zone clusters. In response to receiving an active zone from a computing device, a client device can begin monitoring the geographic parameters for the top-level location-based service zone clusters. When the client device detects an entry into a particular location-based service zone cluster, the client device stops monitoring the top-level location-based service zone clusters and begins monitoring the location-based service zones that are within the particular location-based service zone cluster.

A guidance system for a drone is described, said system comprising: a plurality of poles fixed to the ground and associated with a private or public electric power grid; a plurality of devices fixed to the poles and powered by the electric power grid, said devices being interconnected in a wireless network and comprising a radio communication module for communicating with the drone; a controller connected to the wireless network and intended to program a flight path of the drone between two or more poles by transmitting configuration commands to the respective devices of the wireless network, for configuring the radio communication modules, wherein the radio communication module of one pole in the flight path is configured to guide the drone towards the radio communication module of a following pole in the flight path.

Beacon systems include a beacon including a transmitter, a processor, and a sensor for collecting sensor data, wherein the beacon broadcasts a beacon message comprising informational data based on a value of the sensor data and data regarding a minimum received signal strength for the relevance of the beacon message. The beacon system may include a receiving device, wherein the receiving device comprises a processor and an alarm adapted to be triggered by the beacon message, wherein the processor determines a relevance of the beacon message by comparing the minimum received signal strength for the relevance of the beacon message to an actual received signal strength of the beacon message, wherein, if the actual received signal strength is greater than or equal to the minimum received signal strength, the receiving device is within a range of relevance and the alarm is triggered.

Systems and methods for beacon device fleet management are provided. One example system includes a plurality of beacon devices, a plurality of mobile computing devices, a fleet management system, and a fleet owner computing devices. One example method includes receiving, by the fleet management system, a device status request from the fleet owner computing device. The fleet management system determines one or more operational statuses of beacon devices owned by the fleet owner and transmits data indicative of the one or more operational statuses to the fleet owner computing device. The operational statuses can include a current detection status (e.g., online or offline), a location status, a power source status, and/or other operational parameters.

This application relates to reporting and monitoring a location of a mobile device. Disclosed is an attendance recording service in which when an employee requests attendance recording using a mobile application installed in a smartphone, the smartphone communicates with a server and records clock-in and clock-out of the employee. When the employee selects an attendance recording request button from the mobile application, an analysis is made as to whether the employee is positioned in a workplace, and clock-in or clock-out of the employee is recorded only when it is determined that the employee is positioned in the workplace, thereby maintaining reliable attendance recording.

A first beacon can detect that a client device entered within a first geofence corresponding to the first beacon. A first task that is to be completed by the client device at the first geofence can be selected. A second beacon can detect that the client device enters within a second geofence corresponding to the second beacon. A second task that is to be completed by the client device at the second geofence can be selected. An action can be executed when the client device is determined to having completed either the first task or the second task.

A mechanical watch includes an internal tracking module. The tracking module includes a transmitter, a microprocessor, and optionally a GPS module and a power source. The components of the tracking module are integrated into the watch by embedding them within one or more components of the mechanical watch. If a watch is lost or stolen, the tracking module may be actuated to provide location data over a network to a software application. To conserve power, the tracking module only actively receives and/or transmits signals periodically during intermittent windows of time.
