Abstract

An application that electronically determines an identity of an electronic device by running a device attribute collection application that collects key data points of the electronic device and a device identification application that uses the key data points to identify the electronic device. Devices are linked to a specific owner or entity. Device data points may change over time due to reasons such as reconfiguration, repair, or normal day-to-day use. The device identification application intelligently and continuously tracks changes in key data points associated with a device, even if the data points change during the life of the device. Based on the collected data points, the device can be identified remotely using the device identification application (eg, in the event the device is stolen or lost). The device identification application may be deployed with services that may include asset tracking, asset recovery, data deletion, software deployment, etc.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to electronic identification of electronic devices via remote access. Background technique [0002] In today's competitive business environment, information technology (IT) is playing an increasingly important role in the exchange of information and personal functions in day-to-day business. Individuals, systems, organizations, and other business assets are interconnected in this emerging economic network, and because of this IT landscape, the need to effectively manage IT assets, including physical assets and data, has become increasingly complex. As a result, individuals and organizations are also now more than ever aware of the need to control, manage and secure their computer asset base in order to protect their IT investments. Protecting IP assets has become more challenging as the processing power of mobile computing devices has increased, where more and more individuals have chosen mobile computing devices as a rep...
