  • Publication number: 20180046560
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and media for tracking a connected device are disclosed. For example, a wireless connection can be established between a user computing device and a connected hardware device. The user computing device can determine whether a Universally Unique Identifier (UUID) has been assigned to the connected hardware device. If no UUID has been assigned, the user computing device can generate a UUID, which the connected hardware device can receive and store. The user computing device can instruct a server to create a profile of the connected hardware device with the UUID. The connected hardware device can start broadcasting the UUID. A second user computing device can receive the UUID and retrieve the profile of the connected hardware device from the server with the UUID. The connected hardware device can also collect information, which can be transmitted to the server via a user computing device.
