HANDLING WIRELESS FINGERPRINT DATA

摘要

Apparatus is configured to scan for radio signals transmitted by at least first and second transmitting devices; for each radio signal identified in the scan, receive an identifier relating to the originating transmitting device from the radiosignal;use the identifier and/or parameters of a radio signal received from the first transmitting device and the identifier and/or parameters of a radio signal received from the second transmitting device to detect whether the first and second transmitting devices are co-located; and in response to detecting that the first and second transmitting devices are co-located: create a group for the transmitting devices that are identified as being co-located; create wireless fingerprint data for the group as a whole and refrain from creating wireless fingerprint data for every transmitting device of the group; andcause transmission of the wireless fingerprint data to a remote server.
