Abstract:
Described are various embodiments of a system and method in which device-identifying data can be used to uniquely recognize and optionally track and report on device activity at one or more Wi-Fi locations by way of the creation and management of a device and/or visit profile uniquely associated with such devices and stored in a network accessible knowledge base.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for automatically characterizing a visit of a wireless device at or near a wireless hotspot location via a receiver operated within the location, comprising:\n detecting one or more wireless transmissions from the wireless device via the receiver operated at the wireless hotspot location; extracting a unique device identifier from each of said one or more wireless transmissions; tracking a visit profile of the wireless device via said unique device identifier; processing said visit profile against one or more preset visit characterization criteria defined for the wireless hotspot location to discriminate between two or more designated visit classifications; and characterizing the visit as being consistent with one of said designated visit classifications based on said processing; wherein said one or more visit characterization criteria comprise a device proximity criteria defined so to discriminate between walk-in visitors and walk-by visitors; the method further comprising: processing a signal strength of said one or more wireless transmissions against a preset signal strength signature of the hotspot location defined by a set signal strengths associated with a set of multiple previous wireless transmissions received from multiple wireless devices via the receiver at the hotspot location so to discriminate between wireless devices operated from within a physical boundary of the location, from those operated outside the physical boundary; and characterizing the visit as representative of one of a walk-in visitor and a walk-by visitor as a function of said signal strength processing.
