Disclosed herein are techniques and systems for tracking assets using wireless beacons attached to the assets. In some embodiments, an asset tracking system may receive, from a mobile device, a first device identifier (ID) of a first wireless beacon that is presently associated with a site. At a different time, the asset tracking system may receive, from the mobile device, a second device ID of a second wireless beacon. The asset tracking system may determine whether a time between the receiving of the two device IDs is less than a threshold amount of time, and, if so, the asset tracking system may associate the wireless beacon to the site.

Disclosed herein are techniques and systems for tracking assets using wireless beacons attached to the assets. In some embodiments, an asset tracking system may receive, from a mobile device, a device identifier (ID) of a wireless beacon. At a different time, the asset tracking system may receive, from the mobile device, event data indicating that the mobile device is located at a site among a plurality of sites maintained in a data store. The asset tracking system may determine whether a time between the receiving of the device ID and the receiving of the event data is less than a threshold amount of time, and, if so, the asset tracking system may associate the wireless beacon to the site.

Disclosed herein are techniques and systems for tracking assets using wireless beacons attached to the assets. In some embodiments, an asset tracking system may receive asset tracking data from a mobile device. The asset tracking data may include a device identifier (ID) of a wireless beacon and GPS data (e.g., location and accuracy) of a mobile device in the vicinity of the beacon. The asset tracking system may determine whether the accuracy of the GPS location satisfies an accuracy threshold, and, if so, the asset tracking system may identify a site and determine whether the GPS location reported by the mobile device is within a static radius assigned to the site. If the GPS location is within the static radius assigned to the site, the asset tracking system may associate the wireless beacon to the site.

Disclosed herein are techniques and systems for transmitting a multi-broadcast signal from a wireless broadcasting device (or beacon) as part of a beacon recognition process. Specifically, the multi-broadcast signal may be in the form of multiple packets that are broadcast from the beacon within a recognition time period. A process may include creating a first packet having a first identifier (ID) and a randomly generated value, broadcasting the first packet from the beacon, generating a second ID based at least in part on the randomly generated value included in the first packet, and broadcasting, within a period of time from the broadcast of the first packet, a second packet having the second ID and a device ID that uniquely identifies the beacon. A mobile device in proximity to the beacon may include logic to detect and interpret a multi-broadcast signal from the beacon.
