Techniques for identification and valuation using a multi-point radio fingerprint
First Claim
1. At least one non-transitory machine-readable medium comprising a set of instructions that in response to being executed on a computing device cause the computing device to:
- generate a multi-point radio fingerprint for a mobile computing device, the multi-point radio fingerprint comprising a generic identifier associated with a set of radio frequency signals output by the mobile computing device;
receive device information for the mobile computing device based on identification information contained in one or more of the set of radio frequency signals;
assign a device value to the mobile computing device based on the device information; and
correlate the device value and the multi-point radio fingerprint.

Abstract
Examples are disclosed for radio fingerprinting and for device identification and valuation using a multi-point radio fingerprint. In some examples radio fingerprinting logic may be operative for execution on a processor component to receive a set of radio frequency signals from multiple mobile computing devices at a first time, store identification information for the set of radio frequency signals, receive a subset of the set of radio frequency signals from one of the multiple mobile computing devices at a second time, associate identification information for the subset of radio frequency signals to the one mobile computing device, and generate a multi-point radio fingerprint for the one mobile computing device based on the subset of radio frequency signals. In other embodiments, radio fingerprinting logic may be operative for execution on a processor component to generate a multi-point radio fingerprint for a mobile computing device, the multi-point radio fingerprint comprising a generic identifier associated with a set of radio frequency signals output by the mobile computing device, receive device information for the mobile computing device based on identification information contained in one or more of the set of radio frequency signals, assign a device value to the mobile computing device based on the device information, and correlate the device value to the multi-point radio fingerprint. Other examples are described and claimed.
