Identifying an entity associated with wireless network access point

A computing system, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more computer-readable media, the one or more computer-readable media storing computer-readable instructions for execution by the one or more processors to cause the one or more processors to perform operations, the operations comprising:
• accessing an estimated location of a wireless network access point;
• accessing a service set identifier (SSID) associated with the wireless network access point;
• analyzing the SSID to identify at least one text signal, the at least one text signal comprising a set of one or more characters;
• identifying an entity associated with the wireless network access point based at least in part on the text signal and the estimated location of the wireless access point, the entity identified based at least in part by matching the text signal with information corresponding to the entity associated with the wireless network access point;
• and
• outputting information associated with the entity
• wherein the operation of identifying an entity associated with the wireless network access point based at least in part on the text signal and the estimated location of the wireless access point comprises:
• accessing a database of entity information;
• identifying a plurality of candidate entities based at least in part on the estimated location of the wireless network access point;
• determining a confidence score for each of the plurality of candidate entities based at least in part on the text signal;
• and
• identifying at least one of the plurality of candidate entities as the entity associated with the wireless network access point based at least in part on the confidence score;
• wherein the confidence score is determined based at least in part on a distance between the estimated location of the wireless network access point and a location of the candidate entity.

One or more tangible, non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-readable instructions that when executed by one or more processors cause the one or more processors to perform operations, the operations comprising:

• accessing an estimated location of a wireless network access point;
• accessing a service set identifier (SSID) associated with the wireless network access point;
• analyzing the SSID to identify at least one text signal, the at least one text signal comprising a set of one or more characters;
• identifying an entity associated with the wireless network access point based at least in part on the text signal and the estimated location of the wireless access point, the entity identified based at least in part by matching the text signal with information corresponding to the entity associated with the wireless network access point;
• and
• outputting information associated with the entity;
• wherein the operation of identifying an entity associated with the wireless network access point based at least in part on the text signal and the estimated location of the wireless access point comprises:
• accessing a database of entity information;
• identifying a plurality of candidate entities based at least in part on the estimated location of the wireless network access point;
• determining a confidence score for each of the plurality of candidate entities based at least in part on the text signal;
• and
• identifying at least one of the plurality of candidate entities as the entity associated with the wireless network access point based at least in part on the confidence score;
• wherein the confidence score is determined based at least in part on a distance between the estimated location of the wireless network access point and a location of the candidate entity.
