Patent ID: 7110756

Claim:
A method for monitoring wireless activity in a radio frequency band, comprising: a. receiving radio frequency energy at each of a plurality of known positions in a space; b. determining positions in the space of one or more devices emitting radio frequency energy in the space from the received radio frequency energy at the plurality of known positions; c. detecting signals occurring according to a communication protocol at the one or more devices in the space that operate according to the communication protocol; d. generating protocol activity data representing characteristics of received radio frequency energy in the space, wherein the protocol activity data represents characteristics of signals transmitted according to a communication protocol in the frequency band, wherein the protocol activity data is generated based upon the signals detected at the one or more devices; e. correlating the protocol activity data with the positions in the space that are associated with provocation of the protocol activity data; f. displaying the protocol activity data on a map at positions in the space associated with the occurrence of the signals that led to generation of the protocol activity data; and g. tracking movement of the one or more devices through the space.
