Application: Device identification (Patent ID: US20240102828A1)

The patent filed by BT Group Plc describes a device identification method, system, and prediction component based on power consumption data. The method involves predicting the identity of an active device at a premises in a future time period using power consumption data, detecting the actual identity of the device in that future time period, and determining the final identity based on the predicted and detected identities. The system includes components for prediction, detection, and decision-making based on the predicted or detected identities.

The method and system utilize machine learning techniques, such as hierarchical support vector machines and long short-term memory neural networks, to process power consumption data and generate device usage data. This data is then used to predict, detect, and determine the identity of active devices at a premises. The technology aims to improve device identification accuracy, determine device versions, and enable the provision of tailored services based on the identified devices within a network. Additionally, the patent covers the use of confidence scores, retraining of machine learning systems, and identification of previously unseen devices within a premises based on power consumption data.
