Abstract
An example system includes a device identification engine. The device identification engine is to detect a portable computing device based on interaction of a user of the portable computing device with a security device. The device identification engine also is to determine an identifier associated with the portable computing device. The system also includes a user identification engine to determine an identity of the user based on a data structure relating identifiers associated with portable computing devices to identities of users of the portable computing devices.
Claims15
A system, comprising:
- a device identification engine to:
- detect a portable computing device based on interaction of a user of the portable computing device with a security device, and
- determine an identifier associated with the portable computing device;
- and
- a user identification engine to determine an identity of the user based on a data structure relating identifiers associated with portable computing devices to identities of users of the portable computing devices.
A method, comprising:
- detecting, using a processor, a portable computing device;
- determining, using the processor, an identifier associated with the portable computing device is unknown;
- and
- performing, using the processor, a security response based on determining the identifier is unknown,
- wherein the security response comprises at least one of capturing information about a user of the portable computing device and deterring presence of the user of the portable computing device.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
- identify a user of a portable computing device based on interaction of the user with a security device;
- determine an identifier associated with the portable computing device;
- and
- track a location of the user based on the identifier associated with the portable computing device.
