Wireless device detection, tracking, and authentication platform and techniques

This invention describes a system that uses mobile sensor devices to create temporary zones. These sensors listen for specific wireless signals, like Wi-Fi probe requests or Bluetooth pings, from nearby devices. By detecting these signals, the system can identify devices, track their movement within the zones, and potentially verify their identity based on past network connections.

Why it matters: Filed before the widespread availability of low-cost, powerful IoT devices and mature edge computing platforms. These advancements now simplify building and deploying dynamic sensor networks for real-time processing.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
