Abstract
A proximity based suggestion system can be used to deliver suggestions to social network users, to add one or more users to their friend list, based on users’ proximity to each other. The system receives a first Internet Protocol (IP) address of a first user device connected to the Internet through a first access point. The system also receives IP address of a first client device connected to the Internet through the first access point. The system then receives a first MAC address of the first client device and a second MAC address of a second client device from the first client device. Similarly, the system also receives the second MAC address of the second client device and the first MAC address of the first client device from the second client device. Further, the system receives IP address of the second client device connected to the Internet through a second access point and a second IP address of a second user device connected to the Internet through the second access point. The system then determines that the first user connected to the Internet through the first access point and the second user connected to the Internet through the second access point are in physical proximity to each other.
