Abstract
A system for identifying a same user of multiple communication devices is configured to perform the steps of: (a) receiving data corresponding to a first user-managed asset from a first communication device operated by a user, wherein the first user-managed asset is a plurality of applications and their placement within a graphical user interface of the first communication device; (b) receiving data corresponding to a second user-managed asset from a second communication device operated by a user, wherein the second user-managed asset is a plurality of applications and their placement within a graphical user interface of the second communication device, wherein the first user-managed asset is substantially the same as the second user-managed asset; and (c) determining that the user of the first communication device is the user of the second communication device based on identifying that the first user-managed asset is substantially the same as the second user-managed asset.
