Abstract

In one example embodiment, a server obtains a labeled fingerprint of an ultrasound-capable client device. Based on the labeled fingerprint, the server determines that the ultrasound-capable client device is in physical proximity with a collaboration endpoint. The server subsequently obtains an unlabeled fingerprint of an ultrasound-incapable client device. Based on the unlabeled fingerprint and the labeled fingerprint, the server determines that the ultrasound-incapable client device is a meeting attendee device for a collaboration meeting to which the collaboration endpoint is connected. In response to determining that the ultrasound-incapable client device is the meeting attendee device for the collaboration meeting, the server connects the ultrasound-incapable client device to the collaboration endpoint.
