Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for identifying stable attributes in clusters of devices and naming the clusters of devices using the stable attributes. The stable attribute is selected from data associated with user/household behavior and data associated with each device. Because the stable attribute is associated with the device in the cluster determined to be the most stable, it is a persistent identifier that can be used to identify the user/household over time. Because the stable attribute is determined each time the clusters are determined, resources that would be required to track the user/household over time are saved and the system of tracking users/households is more efficient. Attributes evaluated to determine the stable attribute include IP address, the location of the device, hardware characteristics of the device, the date a CRM profile was created, timestamp of the first or last user authentication, and the number of authentications on that device.
