Abstract:
Methods and devices of various embodiments provide enhanced location services by leveraging a system of beacon devices each broadcasting data that is useful in calculating locations and report of the trustworthiness of neighbor beacon devices. Various embodiments include a method performed by a beacon device that may include obtaining location data using a first functionality, evaluating sensor data to identify a breach of trust condition at the beacon device, generating authentication data that indicates any identified breach of trust condition, receiving one or more neighbor beacon broadcast messages using a second functionality, determining whether the one or more neighbor beacon broadcast messages include trustworthy location data, and broadcasting an outgoing broadcast message that includes the obtained location data, timing data, the generated authentication data, and data indicating whether the one or more neighbor beacon broadcast messages include trustworthy location data.
