IDENTIFICATION USING MOBILE DEVICE SIGNATURES AND CAMERAS
First Claim
1. A device, comprising:
- a processor; and
a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising;
receiving image data representative of images of a physical object captured at locations, wherein the physical object has an identifiable characteristic;
receiving signal data representative of a signal from a communications device associated with a user identity, wherein the signal;
was received by receivers at the locations, andcomprises an identifier that enables the user identity to be associated with the communications device;
based on time data and location data associated with the image data and the signal data, determining whether the physical object is correlated to the communications device and the user identity;
storing an electronic record representative of the physical object; and
associating a first data entry associated with the user identity and a second data entry associated with the communications device with the electronic record of the physical object.

Abstract
A mesh of existing infrastructures is usable to identify user identities and communications devices with physical objects (e.g., transportation vehicles, apparel, etc.). A system can receive image data representative of images of physical objects captured (e.g., by a camera) at locations. The system can also receive signal data representative of signals from communications devices. Based on time data and location data associated with the image data and the signal data, the system can, after multiple iterations, determine whether one of the physical objects is correlated with one of the communications devices. In response to a correlation, the system can store in a record data (e.g., a container, database, etc.) data elements representative of the physical object and a second data element associated with the communications device.

10. A machine-readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
-
receiving image files of physical objects captured at locations, wherein the physical objects comprise identifiable image features; receiving data representative of a signal from a communications device associated with a user identity, wherein the signal; was received by receivers at the locations, and comprises an identifier that allows the communications device to be associated with the user identity; determining whether the physical objects are correlated to the communications device and the user identity; and associating, with an electronic record of the user identity, a first entry associated with the communications device and a second entry associated with one of the physical objects. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A method, comprising:
-
facilitating, by a device comprising a processor, receiving image data representative of physical objects captured at respective locations, wherein the physical objects comprise identifiable characteristics; facilitating, by the device, receiving a signal from a communications device of a user identity, wherein the signal; was received by receivers at the respective locations, and comprises an identifier; using the identifier, determining, by the device, a user identity associated with the communications device; determining, by the device, whether the physical objects are correlated to the user identity; and storing, by the device, record data comprising a first data element representative of the user identity, a second data element associated with the communications device, and a third data element associated with one of the physical objects. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
