Abstract
Example implementations relate to beacon sensor based network fingerprints. For example, a location analytics device for beacon sensor based network fingerprints may include a processing resource and a memory resource storing readable instructions. The instructions may cause the processing resource to receive signal strength readings from a plurality of access points (APs) for transmissions originating from a target client device, compare the received signal strength readings for the target client device, to a beacon sensor based network fingerprint generated from a reference client device, and determine a location of the target client device based on the comparison of the received signal strength and the beacon sensor based network fingerprint.
Claims15
A location analytics device comprising:
- a processing resource;
- and
- a memory resource storing machine-readable instructions to cause the processing resource to:
- receive signal strength readings from a plurality of access points (APs) for transmissions originating from a target client device;
- compare the received signal strength readings for the target client device, to a beacon sensor based network fingerprint generated from a reference client device;
- and
- determine a location of the target client device based on the comparison of the received signal strength and the beacon sensor based network fingerprint.
A location analytics device comprising:
- a processing resource;
- and
- a memory resource storing machine readable instructions to cause the processing resource to:
- receive from a reference client device, beacon sensor data associated with the reference client device;
- receive access point data associated with the reference client device;
- generate a beacon sensor based network fingerprint using a compilation of the beacon sensor data and the access point data of the reference client device;
- and
- determine a location of a target client device using the beacon sensor based network fingerprint.
A non-transitory machine-readable medium storing instructions executable by a processing resource to:
- collect beacon sensor data from a reference client device;
- receive signal strength data from a plurality of access points (APs) for transmissions originating from the reference client device;
- generate a beacon sensor based network fingerprint using a compilation of the beacon sensor data from the reference client device and the signal strength data for the reference client device;
- receive signal strength data from a plurality of APs for transmissions originating from a target client device;
- and
- determine a location of the target client device using the beacon sensor based network fingerprint and the signal strength data from the target client device.
