Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method of providing information by a server and an apparatus of a server for providing information are provided. The method includes receiving mode information on a beacon service; generating control information based on the mode information; and transmitting the control information to an output device, wherein the mode information is identified from a beacon signal transmitted by a beacon transmitting device, and the beacon signal includes mode information corresponding to at least one piece of distance information.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method of providing information by a server, the method comprising: receiving mode information on a beacon service from a beacon receiving device; generating control information based on the mode information; and transmitting the control information to an output device, wherein the mode information is identified from a beacon signal transmitted by a beacon transmitting device, and the beacon signal includes at least one piece of mode information corresponding to distance information, and wherein the mode information is determined based on distance information between the beacon transmitting device and the beacon receiving device among the at least one piece of mode information included in the beacon signal. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein each of the at least one piece of mode information comprises distance level information and operation mode information for a different distance level between the beacon transmitting device and the beacon receiving device within a maximum beacon transmission distance. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the output device is the beacon transmitting device. 4. An apparatus of a server for providing information, the apparatus comprising: a communication unit configured to communicate with at least one network node; and a controller configured to control reception of mode information concerning a beacon service from a beacon receiving device, generate control information based on the mode information, and transmit the control information to an output device, wherein the mode information is identified from a beacon signal transmitted by a beacon transmitting device, and the beacon signal includes at least one piece of mode information corresponding to distance information, and wherein the mode information is determined based on distance information between the beacon transmitting device and the beacon receiving device among the at least one piece of mode information included in the beacon signal. 5. The apparatus of claim 4 , wherein each of the at least one piece of mode information comprises distance level information and operation mode information for a different distance level between the beacon transmitting device and the beacon receiving device within a maximum beacon transmission distance. 6. The apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the output device is the beacon transmitting device.
