Method and system for pinpointing the location of an electronic device

A system for determining the location of an electronic device, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• a non-transitory computer-usable medium embodying computer program code, the computer-usable medium capable of communicating with the at least one processor, the computer program code comprising instructions executable by the at least one processor and configured for:
• detecting a change in a unique identifier associated with an electronic device connected to a subnetwork, wherein the change comprises at least one of a change in an address associated with the unique identifier and an addition of the address associated with the unique identifier;
• registering a notification on the electronic device, in response to detecting the change in the unique identifier associated with the electronic device;
• receiving data regarding the electronic device including a physical location of the electronic device and contact information, after the notification has been registered on the electronic device and in response to a query generated after a subsequent boot up of the electronic device;
• and
• after the subsequent boot up of the electronic device, invoking a user to define an exact physical location of the electronic device and other pertinent changes that have taken place concurrently with the change to the unique identifier.

A system for determining the location of an electronic device, comprising:

• a subnetwork and an electronic device associated with a unique identifier,
• wherein a change in the unique identifier is detectable, wherein the change comprises at least one of a change in an address associated with the unique identifier and an addition of the address associated with the unique identifier;
• wherein in response to detecting the change in the unique identifier, a notification is registered on the electronic device, and wherein data regarding the electronic device including a physical location of the electronic device and contact information is received, after the notification has been registered on the electronic device and in response to a query generated after a subsequent boot up of the electronic device;
• and
• wherein after the subsequent boot up of the electronic device, invoking a user to define an exact physical location of the electronic device and other pertinent changes that have taken place concurrently with the change to the unique identifier.
