Abstract
Beacons (e.g., mBeacons or meruBeacons) to advertise presence of nearby objects to stations in a wireless communication network from an access point are provided. Location of a station connected to the access point is detected. One or more physical objects having a location proximate to the station are identified and can be indicated to a user. To do so, in an embodiment, responsive to the proximity of locations, a beacon having a BSSID corresponding to each of the one or more physical objects is generated. The BSSID can uniquely identify the one or more physical objects. The beacon is transmitted the station which can request additional information concerning the one or more physical objects. For example, an Amazon listing for a nearby retail item can be automatically displayed on a smartphone.
