Analytic and tracking systems and methods using over-the-air identifiers of mobile devices

摘要

Analytic and tracking systems and methods are described that use over-the-air identifiers (OTAIs) of mobile devices for tracking, dispatch, identification, etc. In particular, the analytic and tracking systems and methods can include various OTAI sensors that are communicatively coupled to a server and with one another. The OTAI sensors are configured to identify proximate mobile devices concurrent with at least one additional piece of information. The analytic and tracking systems and methods can process identified mobile devices and the additional pieces of information for a plurality of applications.

1. A tracking method, comprising:
operating a plurality of sensors across a geographic region; capturing, by one or more sensors of the plurality of sensors, over-the-air identifiers of proximate mobile devices to the one or more sensors; correlating the captured over-the-air identifiers to detect a trigger indicative of a situation of interest; in response to the detecting the trigger, maintaining a watch list of the captured over-the-air identifiers based on the trigger; associating an over-the-air identifier of the captured over-the-air identifiers to an individual; associating the over-the-air identifier to an image of a person associated with a device having the over-the-air identifier; and utilizing facial recognition from a database to identify the person.
