1. A method performed by a first computing device, comprising:
- receiving first sound information from one or more second computing devices within a communication range of the first computing device;
accessing one or more rules;
determining, based on application of at least one of the one or more rules to the first sound information, a characterization of the first sound information;
receiving information indicative of a characterization of second sound information transmitted from a third computing device, wherein the third computing device differs from the one or more second computing devices;
generating a combination of the characterization of the first sound information and the characterization of the second sound information;
transmitting, to a server computing device, the combination;
andreceiving, from the server computing device, an attribute of the first computing device.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method is executable by a first computing device to perform functions including retrieving, from the first computing device, sound information for the first computing device; receiving sound information from one or more second computing devices located in an area within a communication range of first computing device; generating a characterization of the sound information from (i) the first computing device, and (ii) the one or more second computing devices; and determining, based on the characterization, an attribute of one or more third computing devices.
