Abstract

See full text

An apparatus and method are proposed for providing a beacon-based payment service in a beacon service system including a point of sales (POS) device for payment and a user device using a beacon service application. The apparatus may include a beacon module configured to emit a beacon signal, and an input module configured to receive a user input for triggering the beacon-based payment service. The apparatus may further include a POS control unit configured to identify predetermined strength of a beacon signal when an event for triggering the beacon-based payment service occurs, to control emission of the beacon signal with the identified strength through the beacon module, to detect whether a user device accesses content regarding the emitted beacon signal, and to control retransmission of the beacon signal through the beacon module by increasing the strength of the beacon signal by a predetermined value if there is no access to the content.
