SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TRACKING A DEVICE |
| 摘要 |
A method includes detecting, by a mobile network interface card (MNIC) using a radio frequency (RF) signal, network devices of a network, generating, by the MNIC, a report identifying a network device of the network devices as detected by the MNIC, and sending, by the MNIC, the report to the network device. The method further includes forwarding, by the network device using the network, the report to a backend, identifying, by the backend, a physical location of the network device, and determining, by the backend, an approximate physical location of the MNIC based on the physical location of the network device. |

1. A method, comprising:
detecting, by a mobile network interface card (MNIC) using a radio frequency (RF) signal, a first plurality of network devices, wherein the first plurality of network devices comprises a network; generating, by the MNIC, a first report identifying a first network device of the first plurality of network devices as detected by the MNIC; sending, by the MNIC, the first report to the first network device; forwarding, by the first network device and using the network, the first report to a backend; identifying, by the backend, a physical location of the first network device; and determining, by the backend, an approximate physical location of the MNIC based on the physical location of the first network device. |
