Abstract

Technology is disclosed for preventing classification of objects, e.g., in an augmented reality system. The technology can identify a set of objects to be classified, determine whether context information for one or more objects in the identified set of objects to be classified is identified as not to be employed during classification, and during classification of two different objects, include context information for one object but not the other.

Claims (49)

1. A method performed under control of an end device, the method comprising:

receiving a fake device identifier from a mobile operating server;

transmitting, to an access point, a probe request frame that includes the fake device identifier for the end device;

receiving, from the access point, a probe response frame that includes information regarding the access point;

determining that the access point is an authenticated access point based at least in part on the information in the probe response frame that indicates that:

the access point is controlled by the mobile operating server, and

the access point was connected with the end device previous to when the access point received the transmitted probe request frame; and

transmitting, to the access point determined to be the authenticated access point, a connection request that includes an authentic device identifier for the end device.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, from the access point, an approval of the connection request; and

connecting to a wireless local area network provided by the access point.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the access point includes a Wi-Fi access point, and the wireless local area network provided by the access point includes a Wi-Fi network.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the receiving the fake device identifier includes receiving at least one of a random number or a random character.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the authentic device identifier includes a media access control (MAC) address.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, from the mobile operating server, an authenticated access point list that includes information regarding at least one authenticated access point,

wherein the determining is further based at least in part on the authenticated access point list.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the information regarding the at least one authenticated access point includes at least one of a media access control (MAC) address or a service set identifier (SSID) of each of the at least one authenticated access point, and

wherein the information regarding the access point includes at least one of a media access control (MAC) address or a service set identifier (SSID) of the access point.

8. An end device, comprising:

a transmitter configured to transmit, to an access point, a probe request frame that includes a fake device identifier;

a receiver configured to receive, from the access point, a probe response frame that includes information regarding the access point;

a memory configured to store an authenticated access point list that includes information regarding at least one authenticated access point;

a determination unit configured to determine that the access point is the at least one authenticated access point based, at least in part, on the information regarding the access point that indicates that:

the access point is controlled by a mobile operating server, and

the access point was connected with the end device previous to when the access point received the probe request frame transmitted from the transmitter; and

a connection unit configured to connect to a wireless local area network provided by the access point,

wherein the receiver is further configured to receive the fake device identifier from the mobile operating server,

wherein the transmitter is further configured to transmit, to the access point, a connection request that includes an authentic device identifier, and

wherein the receiver is further configured to receive, from the access point, an approval of the connection request.

9. The end device of claim 8 , wherein the fake device identifier includes at least one of a random number or a random character.

10. The end device of claim 8 , wherein the authentic device identifier includes a media access control (MAC) address.

11. The end device of claim 8 , wherein the determination unit is further configured to determine that the access point is the at least one authenticated access point based, at least in part, on the information regarding the access point that is included in the authenticated access point list.

12. The end device of claim 8 , wherein the information regarding the at least one authenticated access point includes at least one of a media access control (MAC) address or a service set identifier (SSID) for each of the at least one authenticated access point, and

wherein the information regarding the access point includes at least one of a media access control (MAC) address or a service set identifier (SSID) of the access point.

13. The end device of claim 8 , wherein the access point includes a Wi-Fi access point, and the wireless local area network provided by the access point includes a Wi-Fi network.

14. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions that, in response to execution, cause an end device to perform or control performance of operations that comprise:

obtain a fake device identifier from a mobile operating server;

transmit, to an access point, a probe request frame that includes the fake device identifier for the end device;

obtain, from the access point, a probe response frame that includes information regarding the access point;

determine that the access point is an authenticated access point based, at least in part, on the information in the probe response frame that indicates that:

the access point is controlled by the mobile operating server, and

the access point was connected with the end device previous to when the access point received the transmitted probe request frame; and

transmit, to the access point determined to be the authenticated access point, a connection request that includes an authentic device identifier of the end device.

15. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 14 , wherein the operations further comprise:

obtain, from the access point, an approval of the connection request; and

connect to a wireless local area network provided by the access point.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 14 , wherein the authentic device identifier includes a media access control (MAC) address.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the access point includes a Wi-Fi access point, and the wireless local area network provided by the access point includes a Wi-Fi network.
