Abstract: A method of identifying an unknown device via interrogation may comprise determining a communication address of an unknown device in communication with an information handling system, capturing a digital image of the unknown device, determining the unknown device belongs to a known class of devices via an object recognition algorithm to analyze the digital image, accessing a device class registry listing a plurality of candidate object identifications associated with the known class of devices, identifying a stimulus action or actuation associated with a first of the plurality of candidate device identifications. The method may also comprise performing the stimulus action, receiving an indication via the communication address indicating the unknown device detected the stimulus action, and associating the communication address of the unknown device with the first of the plurality of candidate device identifications.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs encoded on computer storage medium, for identifying a classification of a first device; comparing the classification of the first device with a device classification listing for zones of control; determining that the classification of the first device matches i) the device classification listing for a first zone of control and ii) the device classification listing for a second zone of control; identifying a classification of a second device; comparing the classification of the second device with i) the device classification listing for the first zone of control and ii) the device classification listing for the second zone of control; determining that both i) the classification of the first device and ii) the classification of the second device matches the device classification listing for only the first zone of control; identifying a gateway of the first zone of control as managing the first and second devices.
