Abstract
An automated method is provided for validating an action based on beacon source proximity to a user device. A user data processing device receives from a remote action validation server an action validation request. The request includes identification of an authentication device that may include a beacon transmitter and identification of a proposed action associated with the authentication device. The user data processing device determines whether the authentication device is within beacon signal reception range of the user data processing device and transmits an action validation response to the remote action validation processing system.
