Abstract
Embodiments herein provide methods and systems for identifying make and model, and other features of a communication device using the MAC ID, profile name and services offered on the communication device. Also, disclosed herein is a method of building a database where a range of MAC IDs is mapped to a particular make and model, and other features of communication devices. On obtaining the MAC ID of a communication device, the make and model, and other features of the device can be identified. Such information may be used to tailor content according to the capabilities of a communication device.
Claims7
A method for identifying make and model of a communication device using Bluetooth, wherein a plurality of communication devices are connected to a Bluetooth network, said network comprising of a plurality of Bluetooth terminals and a server, said method comprising steps of:
- said plurality of Bluetooth terminals collecting information from said plurality of communication devices;
- said server building one or more tables, wherein said tables map a range of MAC IDs of said plurality of communication devices to make and model, and other features of said plurality of communication devices;
- said server identifying make and model of a communication device and other features related to said communication device using MAC ID of said communication device and said table;
- and
- said server delivering content to said communication device using Bluetooth, wherein said content is customized according to make and model, and other features of said communication device.
A server apparatus, said server apparatus connected to a plurality of Bluetooth terminals and said Bluetooth terminals connected to a plurality of communication devices using Bluetooth, said server comprising of:
- a receiving means to receive information about said plurality of communication devices from said plurality of Bluetooth terminals;
- a creation means for creating a table, wherein said table maps a range of MAC IDs of said plurality of communication devices to make and model of said communication devices;
- an identification means for identifying make and model of said communication device using MAC ID of said communication device and said table;
- and
- a delivery means for delivering content to said communication device using Bluetooth, wherein said content is customized according to make and model of said communication device.
A terminal, said terminal connected to a server and a plurality of communication devices using Bluetooth, said terminal comprising of a means adapted to collect information from a plurality of communication devices, said information comprising of:
- MAC IDs of said plurality of communication devices;
- profile names of said plurality of communication devices;
- and
- services running on said plurality of communication devices.
