Patents by Inventor Jonathan Malkin

Jonathan Malkin has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Device identification for multiple device IDs
    Patent number: 11238119
    Abstract: An electronic system may be configured to determine if a first-type device ID and a second-type device ID both identify a same device. To do so, the electronic system may preliminarily group a particular first-type ID with a particular second-type ID based on matching time slots and network addresses. Individual scores for each of the preliminary groups may be determined based on cardinalities associated with the time slots. Combined scores may then be determined for groups having the same first-type device ID and second-type device ID. A final analysis may be performed to confirm, with a sufficient level of confidence, whether first-type device IDs and second-type device IDs included in the preliminary groups identify the same device.

  • Home location identification using grouped location data
    Patent number: 10783557
    Abstract: An electronic system may be configured receive a set of location-based events and form the location-based events into a plurality of groups. The location-based events identify user devices that transmitted messages over the network and physical locations of the user devices when the messages were generated. The groups may be formed based on the physical locations and the number of groups to be formed. In some embodiments, the system may use k-means clustering to form the groups. The system may analyze the groups to determine a home location of at least some of the user devices identified in the set.
