Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to computer-implemented systems and methods for device provisioning. The method may include receiving, by a computer, a selection instructions to detect wireless devices. The computer may include one or more processors, a radio transceiver, and a microphone. The method may also include identifying, by the radio transceiver, a plurality of wireless devices. Additionally, the method may include transmitting, by the radio transceiver to the wireless devices, respective requests for inaudible audio signal transmission. The method may also include receiving, by the microphone, a first inaudible audio signal from a first wireless device of the plurality of wireless devices. Further still, the method may include determining, based at least in part on the first inaudible audio signal, that the first wireless device is located in the same room as the user device.
Abstract:
Technologies for identifying rogue access points having an actual location different from a registered location include a computing device to receive a unique identifier of each access point of a plurality of access points within a communication range of the computing device from the corresponding access point. The computing device determines a registered physical location of each access point based on the unique identifier. Additionally, the computing device determines a reference distance between the computing device and each access point based on a transmitted signal received from each corresponding access point and a spatial distance between each access point and each other access point based on the registered locations of the access points. Based on the spatial distances and reference distances, the computing device identifies which of the access points are rogue access points.

Abstract:
A device stores an indication of a current floor of a multiple floor building on which a device is located. The device measures signal strengths of signals received at the device from transmitters having known locations on the floors of the building. The device selects one of the multiple floors as a candidate floor based in part on the measured signal strengths. The device increases a confidence level associated with the indication of the current floor if the candidate floor corresponds to the current floor, and decreases the confidence level if the candidate floor does not correspond to the current floor. The device replaces the indication of the current floor with the candidate floor if the confidence level is below a threshold.
