First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- determining, via a processing device, strength of one or more signals being communicated between one or more antennae of a first device and one or more antennae of a second device, wherein determining the strength includes calculating an amount of signal drop associated with each of the one or more signals communicated over one or more paths between the one or more antennae and the two or more antennae; and
determining, via the processing device, proximity between the first device and the second device based on the determined strength of the one or more signals.

Abstract
A mechanism is described for proximity detection based on Wi-Fi signals. A method of embodiments of the invention includes determining strength of one or more signals being communicated between one or more antennae of a first device and two or more antennae of a second device. The one or more signals are associated with a broadcast packet. The method further includes determining proximity of the first device and the second device based on the determined strength of the one or more signals.
