Augmenting Wi-Fi localization with auxiliary sensor information

A non-transitory memory storing one or more programs, which, when executed by one or more processors of a controller, cause the controller to:

• detect a first address associated with a first device at a first time, wherein the first device is characterized by first characterization information;
• track the first device based on the first address;
• cease to detect the first address and detect a second address associated with a second device at a second time, wherein ceasing to detect the first address includes detecting a potential randomization event and ceasing to track the first device, and wherein the second device is characterized by second characterization information;
• and
• associate the second address with the first address to continue tracking the first device in response to determining that that the second characterization information associated with the second device matches the first characterization information associated with the first device within a threshold tolerance.

A controller comprising:

• one or more processors;
• a non-transitory memory;
• and
• one or more programs, the one or more programs are stored in the non-transitory memory and configured to be executed by the one or more processors, and the one or more programs include instructions for causing the controller to:
• detect a first address associated with a first device at a first time, wherein the first device is characterized by first characterization information;
• track the first device based on the first address;
• cease to detect the first address and detect a second address associated with a second device at a second time, wherein ceasing to detect the first address includes detecting a potential randomization event and ceasing to track the first device, and wherein the second device is characterized by second characterization information;
• and
• associate the second address with the first address to continue tracking the first device in response to determining that that the second characterization information associated with the second device matches the first characterization information associated with the first device within a threshold tolerance.
