Method for Geolocation based on the unique identifier information of an electronic device detected by the first router in a network connection

摘要

A system to determine the geographical location of an origin electronic device with networking capabilities, based on the information provided by data carrier companies. Each company assign to geographic coordinates their last mile connections. In the communications between two machines located in different Local Area Network, data packets show the following characteristics: IP addresses within the IP Header will show the same values from the origin machine to the destination machine. Physical Addresses will be modified whenever the package of Information makes a hop in a router, modifying the unique identifier pair that composes the package of information. The system compares the pair of unique identifiers for a package with the same logical addresses, transmitted by all routers from carriers affiliated to the system, detecting which one was the first router with direct communication with the origin unique identifier. The system communicates geographical positions to content provider companies.
