Abstract
In some embodiments, an apparatus includes a memory, a processor operatively coupled to the memory and a sensor. The sensor is configured to intercept a wireless signal associated with a vehicle. The processor configured to identify from the wireless signal (1) a bit rate of the wireless signal, (2) an encoding type associated with the wireless signal, and (3) data associated with the wireless signal. The processor configured to generate an identifier associated with the vehicle based on the bit rate, the encoding type and the data. The processor configured to correlate within the memory the identifier with additional data associated with a user of the vehicle.
Claims19
An apparatus, comprising:
- a memory;
- a processor operatively coupled to the memory;
- and
- a sensor operatively coupled to the processor, the sensor configured to intercept a wireless signal associated with a vehicle,
- the processor configured to identify from the wireless signal (1) a bit rate of the wireless signal, (2) an encoding type associated with the wireless signal, and (3) data associated with the wireless signal,
- the processor configured to calculate an identifier for the vehicle based on the bit rate, the encoding type and the data,
- the processor configured to correlate within the memory the identifier with additional data associated with a user of the vehicle.
A method, comprising:
- receiving, at a processor, an indication of a wireless signal intercepted from a vehicle using a sensor;
- identifying, using the processor and from the indication of the wireless signal, (1) a bit rate of the wireless signal, (2) an encoding type associated with the wireless signal, and (3) data encoded within the wireless signal;
- calculating, using the bit rate, the encoding type and the data as inputs to a hash function, an identifier for the vehicle;
- and
- correlating, within a memory operatively coupled to the processor, the identifier with previously stored data associated with the vehicle.
A non-transitory processor-readable medium storing code representing instructions to be executed by a processor, the code comprising code to cause the processor to:
- intercept a wireless signal from a vehicle;
- determine, from the wireless signal, (1) a bit rate of the wireless signal, (2) an encoding type associated with the wireless signal, and (3) data associated with the wireless signal;
- calculate an identifier for the vehicle associated with the bit rate, the encoding type and the data;
- and
- store the identifier in a memory storing additional data associated with the vehicle.
