==USING TOKENS FROM PUSH NOTIFICATION PROVIDERS TO ENHANCE DEVICE FINGERPRINTING - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18379697 titled 'USING TOKENS FROM PUSH NOTIFICATION PROVIDERS TO ENHANCE DEVICE FINGERPRINTING

==Simplified Explanation==

The system described in the patent application enhances device fingerprinting by collecting device attributes, such as a push token, from an application and storing them in a device profile in a device database. It then sends a push notification to the client device based on the push token and records the deliverable status of the notification in a notification delivery profile in a notification database. This information can be used for device authentication.

* Device attributes are collected from an application to identify a client device.
* The push token, uniquely paired to the client device, is used to send push notifications.
* The system records the deliverable status of the push notification for authentication purposes.

== Potential Applications ==
This technology could be applied in various industries such as mobile app security, user authentication, and targeted marketing.

== Problems Solved ==
This system solves the problem of accurately identifying and authenticating client devices using unique device attributes.

== Benefits ==
The system provides enhanced device fingerprinting capabilities, improves device authentication, and enables targeted push notifications.

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
Potential commercial applications include mobile security solutions, marketing platforms, and authentication services.

== Possible Prior Art ==
Prior art in this field may include existing device fingerprinting technologies, push notification systems, and device authentication methods.

== Unanswered Questions ==
1. How does the system handle cases where the push notification fails to be delivered to the client device?
2. What measures are in place to ensure the security and privacy of the collected device attributes and push tokens?


==Original Abstract Submitted==

Embodiments disclosed are directed to a system that performs steps to perform enhanced device fingerprinting. The system at least at receives from an application, a plurality of device attributes identifying a client device on which the application is being used. The plurality of device attributes includes a push token provided by a push token service to the client device. The push token is uniquely paired to the client device. The system further transmits, to a device database, the plurality of device attributes for storage in a device profile. The system also transmits, to the application, a push notification based on the push token. The system receives, from the application, a deliverable status indicating whether the push notification was successfully transmitted to the client device, and transmits, to a notification database, the deliverable status for storage in a notification delivery profile. The system can use the information to authenticate a device.
