Patent Images
1. A computer program product comprising:
- at least one computer-readable medium; and
computer-readable signals stored on the computer-readable medium defining instructions that, as a result of being executed by a user device, instruct the user device to perform a method of assisting a user of a user device in recording a transmitter fingerprint set of a network location, the method comprising;
(a) providing a user interface to enable the user to initiate recording the transmitter fingerprint set of the network location.

Abstract
A fingerprint table or other type of data structure including a plurality of entries may be provided, each entry including a transmitter fingerprint set of a respective network location. Determining whether a current network location is a network location known to a user device may include comparing a determined transmitter fingerprint set of the entity with the transmitter fingerprint set of one or more fingerprint table entries. A user interface may be provided that enables a user to control when a transmitter fingerprint set is determined, compared with fingerprint table entries and/or recorded.
