Abstract
A computationally implemented method for recognizing devices based on detected signal patterns includes generating a plurality of signal pattern templates for a plurality of radio frequency communication signals, determining a matching signal pattern template for the detected signal pattern, and overlaying the matching signal pattern over the detected signal pattern.
Claims18
A computer implemented method comprising:
- generating a plurality of signal pattern templates for a plurality of radio frequency communication signals;
- determining, via a processor, a matching signal pattern template for a detected signal pattern, further including comparing a detected signal pattern to the plurality of generated signal pattern templates, wherein the comparing a detected signal pattern to the plurality of generated signal pattern templates via automated signal pattern matching, further includes:
- comparing the template with a received signal signature by may determining a plurality of points comprising the signal pattern, measuring the distance between points on the template and the points on the received signal pattern;
- calculating the probability of a signal pattern matching a template based on the measured distance;
- determining a final probability score for each of the plurality of generated signal pattern templates;
- and
- selecting a signal pattern template with the greatest final probability score;
- and overlaying the matching signal pattern over the detected signal pattern.

A system comprising:
- a signal pattern template generating module generating a plurality of signal pattern templates for a plurality of radio frequency communication signals;
- a signal pattern template matching determiner module determining a matching signal pattern template for the detected signal pattern further including:
- a signal pattern comparison module comparing a detected signal pattern to the plurality of generated signal pattern templates;
- a point determining module determine a plurality of points comprising the signal pattern;
- and
- a signal pattern template matching determiner module, wherein the signal pattern template matching determiner module utilizes automated signal pattern matching for generating a template for a signal pattern, and comparing the template with a received signal signature and is further configured to measure the distance between points on the template and the points on the received signal pattern and calculate the probability of a signal pattern matching a template based on the measured distance, the signal pattern template matching determiner module determines at least a partial match for a received signal pattern, and determines a final score for each template, and the signal pattern template matching determiner module selects the signal pattern template with the greatest determined matching probability;
- and
- a signal pattern template overlay module overlaying the matching signal pattern over the detected signal pattern.
