Full Title or Meme

There are lots of active devices that have Identifiers and can be associated with users.

Context

  • An unexpectedly large number of devices are offered to help the user with their daily tasks that are network connected all of the time, or have radios that can connect when in the proximity of a server with that receiver that has a compatible radio. For example:

It is possible to track Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) devices in an enclosed space. BLE indoor positioning solutions use either BLE-enabled sensors or beacons to detect and locate transmitting Bluetooth devices, such as smartphones or tracking tags throughout indoor spaces.[1]

However, the number of active Bluetooth devices that can be reliably detected in a single space is difficult to determine as it is related to not only Bluetooth devices but also WiFi.[2]
