MAGNETIC FINGERPRINTING FOR PROXIMITY-BASED SYSTEMS
First Claim
1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon executable by a processor to:
- receive location information associated with a mobile device in a facility;
determine that the mobile device is within a particular distance of an area of the facility based on the location information;
determine magnetic field information associated with the mobile device, wherein the determined magnetic field information includes a determined level of a magnetic field, and a determined direction of the magnetic field; and
allow access to the area via a relay associated with the area responsive to a comparison of the determined magnetic field information with a particular magnetic fingerprint of the facility within the particular distance of the area of the facility.

Abstract
Systems, devices, and methods for magnetic fingerprinting for proximity-based systems are described herein. One device includes instructions stored thereon executable by a processor to receive location information associated with a mobile device in a facility, determine that the mobile device is within a particular distance of an area of the facility based on the location information, determine magnetic field information associated with the mobile device, and allow access to the area via a relay associated with the area responsive to a determination that the user is allowed access based on the magnetic field information.

9. A method for magnetic fingerprinting for proximity-based systems, comprising:
-
receiving an indication that a mobile device is in communication with a beacon in a facility; determining magnetic field information associated with a particular geographic location of the mobile device while the mobile device is in communication with the beacon, wherein the determined magnetic field information includes a determined level of a magnetic field, and a determined direction of the magnetic field; comparing the determined magnetic field information to stored magnetic field information associated with the particular geographic location, wherein the stored magnetic field information includes a magnetic fingerprint associated with the particular geographic location; and changing an operation of a proximity-based device responsive to the comparison exceeding a particular threshold. - View Dependent Claims (10, 12, 13)
