Abstract: The detection and prevention of unauthorized tracking devices is described herein. For example, a mobile device may be configured to detect nearby wireless devices. The communication signal between a detected wireless device and the mobile device may be tracked over time, and used to programmatically determine the likelihood that the detected wireless device is an unknown tracking device. The user of the mobile device may be given a notification and related data when a suspicious device is identified, and the user may choose to identify the unknown tracking device as an authorized tracking device or an unauthorized tracking device. When a detected wireless device is identified as an unauthorized tracking device, various remedial actions may be performed by a user and/or a central tracking system. In one example, the central tracking system remotely deactivates the unauthorized tracking device.

Abstract: In a multi-call scenario, a UE can receive an incoming call while an active call is already established on the UE. In response to receiving the incoming call, a process for handling the incoming call in a user-customizable manner can include accessing a history of user input received by the UE in context of handling multiple contemporaneous calls on the UE, and handling the incoming call based at least in part on the history of the user input. By the UE considering past user input received by the UE in context of handling multiple contemporaneous calls, the UE is configured to learn from past user behavior during multi-call scenarios, and adjust its call handling approach for the incoming call based on the past user behavior.

Abstract: An electronic device can be commissioned with an identifier for use in a centralized tracking system. The electronic device is assigned an interim unique identifier and authentication key, for instance by a manufacturer of the electronic device. The electronic device and the centralized tracking system each separately generate a permanent unique identifier and a permanent authentication key based on the interim unique identifier and interim authentication key, without requiring the permanent unique identifier and permanent authentication key from being transmitted between the electronic device and the central tracking server. Upon generating the permanent unique identifier and permanent authentication key, tracking device functionality can be enabled within the electronic device, enabling the electronic device to function as a tracking device within the centralized tracking system.
