Abstract
A method and system for determining the location of an electronic device, can involve detecting a change in a unique identifier associated with an electronic device connected to a subnetwork, registering a notification on the electronic device, in response to detecting the change in the unique identifier, and receiving data regarding the electronic device including a physical location of the electronic device, after the notification has been registered on the electronic device and in response to a query generated after a subsequent boot up of the electronic device. The subnetwork can include a portion of a network that shares a common address component, and the unique identifier can include a MAC (Media Access Control) address that uniquely identifies the electronic device on the network.
