  • Patent number: 10244057
    Abstract: Systems and methods for accurately and efficiently associating devices with a user profile and compiling use information from such devices are disclosed. Devices are associated with the same user profile based on identifying consistent proximity of the devices to one another, e.g., by identifying that the devices are frequently used in proximate locations during a time period or by identifying that the devices are paired with one another. Local devices, rather than a remote server, are used to more efficiently associate devices with the user profile and/or compile use information from such devices. Devices that are associated with the same user profile as a local collection device send use information to the local collection device. The information from all of the devices associated with the user profile is then shared locally with other devices associated with that user profile and sent to a remote collection server.

  • Patent number: 10110697
    Abstract: The environment within which IoT devices are operating is determining based on sets of fingerprints collected from the IoT devices. The set of fingerprints for each respective IoT device contains at least one fingerprint corresponding to a sensed IoT device in communication with the respective IoT device. A similarity score is generated for pairs of IoT devices by comparing their respective sets of fingerprints to identify matching fingerprints. The IoT devices are grouped into a common environment based on the similarity scores. In some embodiments, content is provided over one or more communications networks to a user associated with an IoT device based on the IoT device being grouped into the common environment with one or more other IoT devices.
