METHOD AND SYSTEM TO ASSOCIATE DEVICE MODELS AND ACCOUNTS BY UTILIZATION BANDS
First Claim
1. A system for identifying devices having a utilization within a utilization band, the system comprising:
- a processor; and
a processor-readable memory in operable communication with the processor,wherein the processor-readable memory contains one or more programming instructions for performing the following;
receiving a selection for a utilization band comprising a minimum utilization and a maximum utilization,receiving device information for each of a plurality of accounts, wherein the device information for each account comprises a device model and utilization information for each device associated with the account,for each device, determining a utilization based on the utilization information,for each device model in each account, determining a number of devices in the account having the device model and for which the utilization is in the utilization band, wherein each combination of device model and account comprises a device model-account pair,identifying a plurality of clusters for the device model-account pairs, andassigning at least one device model-account pair to a cluster.

Abstract
Methods and systems for identifying devices having a specified utilization are disclosed. A selected minimum utilization and maximum utilization defining a utilization band may be received. Device information for each of a plurality of accounts, including a device model and utilization information for each device associated with an account, may also be received. A utilization may be determined for each device based on the utilization information. For each device model in an account, a number of devices in an account having the device model and a utilization in the utilization band may be determined. A plurality of clusters may be identified for device model-account pairs, and at least one device model-account pair may be assigned to a cluster.
