Abstract
The described technology provides a system and method for dynamically managing a listen list for beacon aware devices. A mobile device may be configured to listen for one or more beacon UUIDs based on a listen list. A contextual change detected by the mobile device may trigger a collection of additional contextual information and update to the listen list based on the additional contextual information. Using the described technology, the mobile device may use a limited set of beacon UUIDs to improve micro-location granularity and enhance the mobile device's resources.
