Abstract

See full text

Embodiments of the present disclosure include an efficient method for identifying receiving devices with similar attributes and displaying their respective locations to each other using data packets receiving from transmission associated with beacons. The system can receive unique beacon identifiers from a first receiving device, determine its location, receive a request for a match comprising a set of attributes, query a database and identify a second user associated with a second receiving device based on the received set of attributes, determine a location for the second receiving device, and generate/transmit a graphical user interface to the first receiving device informing the first user about the location of the second user.
